THE OIL SERIES #3 -HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD QUALITY OIL FOR SKINCARE

Recently I was having a conversation with a friend at work who also likes to use coconut oil. I asked her which brand she bought, and she said she brought hers for £1.99 from a local grocery store. First of all I think PRICE is indicative of the quality of the oil. She then showed me the bottle and I knew instantly it was not a good quality oil. I bit my tongue and didn't say anything, as I knew I would probably start sounding all preachy and she may think jeeez this woman this nuts!! Ha ha. 

So for those who want to know here is my guide on how to choose a good quality oil.

THE OIL SERIES #1 - UNDERSTANDING OILS

I'm no oil expert by any means, but I wanted to share with you what I have learned over the years. As you can see from the title I will be writing a series on oils, and this is the first instalment. I first turned to oils after experiencing negative results from conventional drugstore skincare. I used to have terrible acne, and incredibly oily skin, and let me tell you it was bad! So of course I was always afraid to put any extra oil on my skin, instead I did everything I could to get rid of the oil, boy how wrong I was!

3 NATURAL WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR ENERGY

One of the most common complaints people have is that they do not have enough energy. I can relate to this, as I think we all can. I often hear people say how they would love to do x,y, or z but can't because they simply lack the energy to do so. This can lead to people turning to external stimulants, for example caffeine and sugar, to obtain the energy they are looking for. The danger with this is you can become too reliant on these stimulants. Relying on external stimulants for more energy is not sustainable or realistic.
