Ahh, coconut oil. Where have you been all my life?
Never in my wildest dreams did I expect a voguish foodstuff to bring me such pleasure, but for the past four months it’s been championing simplicity for me, and fulfilling my minimalistic desires in oh, so many ways.
But, not in the place you might think. Like the kitchen.
No, no, no. This seductive natural extract is the hero of my everyday beauty routine.

Last week I lost my favourite water bottle. I was gutted.
When it happened, I was holidaying in Queensland with my family and friends on a warm and sunny afternoon. We were at a theme park, and I was high on the excitement of the waterslides; playing in the pools with my kids, and having a really awesome time.
Toilet paper. Not something I ever imagined blogging about, but on this occasion I can’t hold back.
Don’t worry. I’m not about to draw you into a scrunch or fold debate, or try and convince you there’s a right way to hang the roll (there is), I’m here to share that there’s a new kid in town, and it’s kicking butt.
A few years ago my best friend’s stepdad passed away. It was a sad and difficult time, but there was a silver lining – I was in New Zealand when it happened, and I was on hand to offer my love and support.
What came as surprise though, was that after all the years of knowing my best friend, I struggled to find the right way to comfort her in this situation.
