1. Care for our cuticles Treat dry, flaky cuticles by rubbing coconut oil into your nail beds. Use your fingers to massage some oil into the area— it’ll moisturize your hands in the process! 2. Treat your tresses to some TLC Store-bought hair conditioning treatments can get pretty pricy and are often made with some sketchy toxic ingredients. Enter: coconut oil. Beauty experts say the fatty acids in coconut oil will soften your strands. Just rub some onto the tips of your hair, and then shampoo as you regularly would to keep your strands shiny, healthy, and hydrated.

The jury may still be out when it comes to the health benefits of using coconut oil in cooking due to its high saturated fat content, but we have found a great article that gives you plenty of other uses for this amazing product. Here’s an edited version from an article posted in GREATEST: 76 GENIUS COCONUT OIL USES FOR EVERYDAY LIFE

When swimmers progress throughout the Ignite squad program, one question I am constantly asked: how do our swimmers juggle school work and training? It is important to follow three key rules: •

Sit down with your child and create a timetable that will allow you both to know exactly what time you have allocated for studying, training and family life.

•

Yearly calendar/Diary: documenting important dates will allow your child to prepare for assignments when knowing they may have competitions coming up.

•

Communication: speak to the coaching staff on how to help your child balance their life.

3. Use it as a frizz-fighter and flyaway-tamer. Spread a tiny bit (apply sparingly—unless, of course, you dig greasy-looking hair) of coconut oil into trouble areas. The natural oils actually repel moisture, which is the culprit behind misbehaving hair. 4. Go for the glow To brighten up lackluster skin, combine coconut oil with baking soda, which is a superstar exfoliant. Just mix a little bit of the two together, gently rub into your skin in circular motions, and then rinse.

8. Make bath time better Add a generous scoop of coconut oil to a bath to (literally) soak in its moisturizing benefits. Make bath time even better by throwing in some Epsom salts (they help soothe muscles and beat bloating) and your favourite essential oils.

6. Nourish your lips Thanks to extreme weather, our lips sometimes need a little extra TLC to keep them soft and smooth. Slough off any dry, flaky skin with a DIY coconut-oil-and-brown-sugar lip scrub. Plus, who needs Chapstick when you’ve got coconut oil on hand? Just smooth some on your lips for instant hydration. It’ll look a little glossy, so let it sink in for a few minutes if you want a more matte look. 7. Buff your skin Speaking of scrubs, coconut oil is a fantastic ingredient for DIY body scrub. Just mix it up with brown sugar or salt, and

add a drop or two of the essential oil of your choice for a gentle but effective exfoliating scrub.

5. Whip up an at-home face mask Another combo for a better complexion? Coconut oil and honey. Mix the two for a hydrating, antibacterial face mask. Leave it on for about 15 minutes, and then rinse.

9. Remove your makeup One beauty editor’s secret: Use coconut oil to remove heavy makeup. Just rub a scoop of the stuff into your skin, leave it on for a few minutes, and wipe it all off with a warm cloth. Plus, this trick works on even the most stubborn eye makeup (we’re looking at you, waterproof mascara). Just apply some coconut oil to a cotton makeup pad and gently wipe off any product. 10. Moisturize your skin To keep your skin soft and supple, swap out your regular moisturizer for coconut oil. Don’t worry—it sinks in pretty quickly and will leave your skin feeling baby-soft.

11. Swap out your shaving cream Coconut oil is actually a great way to get a close shave and hydrate your skin in the process. Plus, it’s especially good for people with sensitive skin. If you’re in a DIY mood, you can even make your own shaving cream with it. 12. Improve your acne Real talk: Breakouts are always a bummer. To help minimize acne-related inflammation, experts recommend using coconut oil, which will also combat redness and irritation. Cleanse your face as you regularly would, and then apply a thin layer of oil to your skin. (Protip: If you’re doing this before bed, let it sink in so that excess oil doesn’t mess with your bedding.)

R1 PROTEIN

R1 Protein is without a doubt the most effective protein powder on the market because of what goes into it, because like they say, better input = better output. They could not be more right about that. What you put into your body after your workout is absolutely key if you really want to see amazing results. With ingredients like this product has, it is nearly impossible for the user not to see results.

Whether you are using it to put on muscle or to simply help your body recover after a tough workout, it is going to be extremely effective. If you know anything about nutritional supplements, you’re probably thinking that there is no way this product can taste good because of how nutritious it is. Extremely nutritious products tend not to taste good because they don’t contain any sugar or fat, and the sodium count is low. Although healthy products generally don’t taste great, that is not the case with R1 Protein; R1 Protein tastes amazing. The bottom line is if you dread taking your protein shake everyday, it’s easy to skip it. R1 Protein is the exception. You don’t sacrifice the health benefits in order to drink a delicious shake.
