Once you discover the magic of coconut oil and apple cider vinegar for beauty and home, you may never go back. Show A few weeks ago our dog had a hot spot on his knee. So I put some apple cider vinegar {ACV} on it. My hair was crazy frizzy, so I put some ACV on it. And then I had a blemish on my chin…so I put some ACV on it. My husband started making fun of me because it seemed I had a bottle of ACV on me at all times, and my obsession with using it for everything reminded him about the father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, the father in the movie swears on Windex the way I do ACV. He claims you can treat anything from psoriasis to poison ivy with Windex. {The even funnier part is that I WOULD use ACV for psoriasis + poison ivy.} I have to buy Costco-sized bottles of ACV so that I don’t have to replenish my supply every week. Where this started:After I started eating to treat myself better {rather than just to lose weight}, I began to take note of what I was putting ON my body + what I was inhaling through cleaning products. I love skincare + beauty products, and I think it’s possible to love these things without having to be vain. But I would get frustrated that I couldn’t apply my rule to eating {recognize all ingredients in food} to what I was putting on my largest organ {skin} or inhaling. Today I want to share with you my 12 favorite ways to use ACV for beauty + home. I’ll also include my favorite ways to my 2nd favorite product, coconut oil, because I also have to buy Costco sized jars to keep up with my needs. This list is NOT exhaustive, just my favorite + most common ways to use ACV + coconut oil. Enjoy, and let me know what you’re gonna try this weekend. ACV:
