How to prepare your home-made coconut oil 


There are various methods in preparing homemade coconut oil
There's the Cold Process Method
and the
Boiling the coconut method

Boiling the coconut method 

  • You'd need about 8-10 matured coconut to get a desirable quantity of oil extracted; 
  • Now first and foremost you'd have to break the coconut from its tusk with a knife or preferably you get that done at local shops where you purchased the coconut. 
  • Next I grate my coconuts after cutting them into suitable sizes that would enable me grate very well
  • After grating I pour my grated coconut into a bowl and then add about two to three cups of water
  • Squeeze out the coconut shafts and filter the water into a separate bowl or pot
  • Add more water and squeeze more untill it no longer looks creamy
  • The good thing about this recipe is that nothing goes to the waste bin you could make coconut candy for your kids or for your consumption if you want or for entertaining your guests as desert
  • So now you boil the extracted quantity of coconut milk you got
  • Boil untill the whole substance dries up and then you'd get your coconut oil. 



The Cold Process Method 

  • Start with a dried and dehydrated coconut; you can achieve this by drying your coconut in your oven at its lowest temperature 
  • Cut coconut into small chunks and then place it on a baking sheet 
  • Cook untill it's completely dry
  • Next you juice your coconut using a juicer; juice dried coconut in batches to extract the oil and the cream
  • Place coconut extract in a jar for 24hrs in a warm place. The coconut oil would rise to the top of the jar, separating it from the cream which would be solidified.
  •  Now with a tablespoon take out the coconut oil and place in a suitable container.

HOW I GOT RID OF ACNE So late last year 2015 I had this very terrifying acne experience; I've always been prone to pimple but not like the once that had appeared on my face. At first I was thinking it's due to change of environment since I had just returned from school back to Nigeria, so I prayed they just disappear as soon as possible,  This was somet ime around December 2015; but Instead of my face healing it was getting worse.  Not too long every one I knew became a cosmetologist, offering different advice on what I could do, I read blogs, I fell in love with any acne help product I came across; from scrubbing my face with baking powder, to cleanser and fade out black spots face lotion nothing seemed to be working for me. My Dear I gave up! Gave up applying make up because I felt those color corrector I was applying before and after my foundation were doing more harm than good so I'd purchase another once it's finished.  We've seen amazing wonders of ma...

Getting Hitched

Been Married for Three months traditionally and two months legally and in the sight of God. I tend to see and listen to many single ladies drowl and gush on the thought of getting Married. Now don't get me wrong there's absolutely nothing wrong with that if only it's for the right reasons and with a proper understanding of the word "Marriage". During school days i was opportuned to have several amazing friends who'd gush and fantasies on their dream wedding mostly when they go online and check out videos and stories on some of the top Nigerian weddings via Instagram. Back then for me I wasn't really all blown away by the thought of having a fabulous wedding and what not; I was rather more of a  " I am happy and that's all that counts".  I had my boyfriend then back in school and we were really happy but never for once did I allow the thought of marriage sink in because quote me wrong but I felt marriage would ruin everythin...
