rms Raw Coconut Oil Review: My New Favorite Cream
Mar 8, 2011 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Beauty, OrganicSo, I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to write about my favorite new "cream." Call me lazy. Get it? Like call me crazy. Anyway, I am obsessed with RMS' raw coconut oil. It's organic and 100% natural. You could actually cook with it if you wanted to.
Here are the caveats for those of you who are unfamiliar with coconut oil in general. At high temperatures, coconut oil is completely liquid. If your house gets cold, it will turn solid. Yep. Weird little fact I learned the hard way when I spilled it all over my Juicy pants. It strangely came out though. I was shocked. Yet one more benefit of something totally natural. It also isn't completely leak proof. If you're traveling i would definitely chuck this into a plastic baggie.
I use this stuff for everything from makeup removal to under eye cream to just plain old moisturizer. It works great. It feels a little greasy if you're not used to it but it gets sucked up immediately by your thirsty skin.
The coconut cream goes for $18 a pop, which isn't bad for an organic moisturizer. And as always you could go to the store and buy it as a grocery but it's like olive oil, you could buy a cheap version at Costco but it won't be nearly as good as the organic one from Italy. The choice is yours

Easy, Healthy Snacks for On the Go New Yorkers by Celebrity Nutritionist Kimberly Snyder
Mar 8, 2011 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Food and Cocktails!, HealthHi dolls! So if you haven't heard, I'm obsessed with Kimberly Snyder. She is a celebrity nutritionist but also runs an amazing blog for those of us who can't afford to hire her ourselves. She's very into natural and healthy (shocker). Kimberly takes healthy to a new level. Think Green smoothies and unprocessed everything. Unlike many other nutritionists out there who will encourage you to swap sugar for sugar-free, Kimberly shuns even agave nectar. And although we can't (read:don't want to) follow her well meant advice all the time, she's brilliant and I feel healthier than ever since I started drinking green smoothies and following her advice. She recently posted a list of healthy snacks to grab on the go. Check out Healthy Snacks on the Go and the rest of Kim's blog! You'll thank me!
