A Year In Review

Wow I’ve been blogging for a YEAR! Well a year tomorrow but still! I can’t believe it’s been that long already! I feel like I’ve come so far, and yet still have so much to learn! I’m going to be trying to update the look of my blog over the next few months so bare with me on that! If you check back and it looks different, hopefully it’s for the better! I am the least tech savvy person I know so it may take a few tries to get it all up and running the way I want it! Any who I thought it would be fun to do a round-up of the top 5 posts I’ve shared with you all since I first started! It’s funny how there are some posts you think Oh man people are going to LOVE this one, yet hardly anyone looks at it, and others you feel like “eh” and they end up being the most viewed ones! I still can’t believe that people actually look at my blog, I mean besides my family, but they kind of have to. So I want to THANK YOU for checking my blog out! And if you are here for the first time I hope you like what you see and come back! Here are the top Posts of Kismet Kreations!

Whipped Coconut Oil Lotion

At the beginning of the summer I went to a water park with Man-Child and some friends. I was so good about putting sunscreen on, I reapplied after we got out of the water, when I was just sitting there and starting to feel like the sun was getting super warm, so I thought I would be good. NOPE I got BURNT! Like super duper really hurts OH MY GOODNESS look at those BLISTERS BURNT! YIKES right? I know! I’m not sure what happened I think maybe the sunscreen was old, even though I had just purchased it a few weeks before. So needless to say my skin hasn’t been quite happy with me ever since!

I love Coconut Oil; I love what it does for my skin. I use it on my hair, face, body, feet everywhere! I even give it to my Dogs! Our male Dog DUKE LOVES coconut oil in fact I have to try and put it on when he’s busy doing something else like digging up the nice bushes in our yard, otherwise he licks the stuff right off me which is first of all GROSS and second of all well really do we need to get past the fact that it’s gross?! 

So anyways, if you’ve used Coconut Oil before you know it’s hard, and difficult to get out of the jar. So I thought I would try and whip it into a lotion like everyone on Pinterest has done! While it is easier to apply it’s still oily as soon as it hits your hands, which I was hoping for a creamier application like lotion. Maybe I’ll have to play with it and see what happens?!

Here’s what you’ll need:

½ cup Coconut Oil (you can use a whole cup I just wanted to make sure I liked it first)

Electric Mixer

Clean Jars

This is what it looks like after 2 minutes not nearly whipped enough!

How cute is that?

This is all that I had left after filling the small jar!

Here’s how you make it:

Place the Coconut oil into the mixing bowl and whip on high for about 10 minutes. I kept checking it until I liked the consistency. Place in a zip-top bag and snip off the end for easy transfer into the jars. Fill jars and place lids on tightly. That’s all there is to it!

ENJOY!
