Review and Giveaway: Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil

Disclaimer: Tropical Traditions provided me with a free sample of the product to review, and I was under no obligation to review it if I so chose. Nor was I under any obligation to write a positive review or sponsor a product giveaway in return for the free product.

I was very excited to be reviewing this Virgin Coconut Oil! The first time I ever used coconut oil, it was to make Sugar Scrub! There are tons of ways you can use coconut oil in your beauty routine! I have used it to make Lotion Bars, Massage Oil, and even eye makeup remover. I have also used it before shaving instead of Shaving cream, I get a much closer shave that way! My favorite way to use this product though, is as a replacement for lotion! It moisturizes wonderfully, and leaves a nice clean scent. It also soaks into my skin wonderfully.

There are many other uses for Coconut oil as well! A lot of people use it in cooking! You can read more about them HERE.
You can also find out how it is made, and what it is HERE!

Since the FDA does not want us to discuss the Health Benefits of Coconut Oil on a page where it is being sold or Given Away, here is the best website to read about the health benefits of Coconut Oil!

I love my coconut oil that I received! You can view Tropical Traditions other products Here.

Review: Artisana Nut Butters

Since I have started my blogging adventure, I have learned a lot of things. Most of them being, that it really does matter what you put in and on your body. I have a few Facebook friends who always talk about eating "raw", and up until I tried these butters, I had assumed "raw" meant "bland". That is so NOT the case. I can honestly tell you that since I have been eating better, more organic, even Vegan items, that I can feel the difference in my body. I do not get stomach pains every day like I used to, and I have even lost weight! After reading over several different labels on many different organic products, I realized that products are so much better without all of the additives!

When I received my shipment of Artisana Nut Butters, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. I had never tried anything like these before. The only "Nut Butter" I had ever tried was Peanut Butter, and I use that term lightly. Many Peanut Butters are packed with things that don't belong in Peanut Butter!

I tried the Cashew butter first, as cashews are my favorite nuts in the entire world. I tried it plain first, Oh man, It was so delicious. It was creamy, and it sticks to the roof of your mouth like you would expect it to, and it tasted exactly like Cashews! of course, it should, because the only ingredient in this butter is Organic Raw Cashews. Then I tried it on graham crackers... and I was in heaven. I gave some to everyone in my household to try, and they all loved it also.

I was also sent a jar of raw organic Coconut Butter. This was a little different than I expected. I did try this plain, and it is very good, but I don't think I would eat this plain. I think they would be absolutely wonderful in a smoothie. I also think this particular butter would be great for making Coconut Shrimp. It has a sweetness to it, but it is a natural sweetness, because, as well as with the Cashew butter, it only has one Ingredient, Organic Raw Coconut.

I was also sent a variety of packets containing their different flavors of nut butters. I think my favorite out of the packets I was sent was the Chocolate Paste with Rose. Sounds different, I thought for sure I wouldn't like this one, but I loved it. Just as good, if not better than the common Hazelnut Chocolate Spread we all know and love.

All of the products I received were Vegan, and Kosher and Gluten Free!

Creating uniquely delicious, healthy, gourmet food is a work of passion for us. Using the most careful attention to detail and quality and handmade with care, our organic live foods are crafted using a special temperature controlled process that preserves the life-essential fatty acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals.

I loved these butters, and I also love that you can use them for so many different things. You can eat them plain, in smoothies, sauces or desserts!
I would give these a 10/10!
