A wee while ago I shared with you why I love coconuts so much, especially its oil. It has so many amazing benefits, honestly there are TONS, which you can read about here. But not only is it highly beneficial it also had millions of uses! 

Today I am going to share  25 of them with you, there are however million of uses, but I am not going to giveaway all my secrets at once! But don’t worry as the months go by I will and you have already probably noticed that it is included in nearly all my recipes (that or butter – butter is a prominent part of my life too!)
