What happened to my video?

So I falsly advertized last week that we would be having this great awesome video blog or vlog or whatever you cool kids call it, then here i am dissapointing you with my lame writing, right? OK I will explain... so long story short and not really that cool, I am currently computerless. I tried making a video on my windows surface tablet, only to find out its pretty hard to do because the camera basically just doesnt work that way. anyway so, that thought is put on hold, at least until i figure out how to do a decent video on my tab, I don't want to give you guys mediocre crap! But, I promise you a  FEW pictorials this week okay? :) so last week when i talked about doing a video log, I also breifly mentioned wanting to talk about summery looks and coconut oil, so lets get to the nitty gritty. First off, HELLO COCONUT OIL. where have you been all my life? I seriously have owned so many bottles or rather tubs of that ish and never ever did i actually use it. This time around, it was bought for cooking... my husband is on a diet, some of the recipes called for it... we never used it though, because well... i stole it and it now belongs on my bathroom counter, and who wants to eat something i dig my big fat hands in daily?  so this all started when i was getting my nails did last week. Ive had my nails done from the same lady for like 15 years... and as we were chatting about my awfully brittle toe nails that never grow at all, she mentioned to me coconut oil. she told me it would help repair my toe nails and make them grow stronger. so I went home and pretty much put them all over my feet. that same day, I had this big plan to lay outside and tan and totally bathe in baby oil (yeah you know i love the 70s) since my pasty ass only tans with some help. During this oiling process, I thought about how coconut oil probably could repair all my dead ends too! so i pretty much lathered my hair up in coconut oil and went out in the sun. I sat in the sun for roughly 2 hours between doing yard work and playing with my daughter, then showered like normal, shampooed twice and air dried. OH MY G! my hair had never ever looked so good. im telling you, i think it was the combination of sitting in the hot hot sun which let my hair absorb more, but unlike all the products ive ever tried, this did NOT make my hair greasy! and seriously, anything makes my hair greasy. so now I have been doing this every few days, and my hair has improved a lot. obviously it doesnt cure split ends, everyone should know by now that the only way to end a split end is to chop it off. BUT it did help with the brittle feeling, the shine and the softness. and soft in my head, means less break offs. I think im gonna try to add an avocado in there this week. I will let you know how that pans out. So since I am tanning outside and getting some good old sun, I have been wearing less make up, especially on my face, and it has been really nice. I will post some summery looks I like. I don't like to wear much when im tan, as I look like a prostitute from the 80s when I do. so I challenge you all to try the coconut oil... and let me know how you like it. Also, since then, i have been using nothing but coconut oil on my body as lotion and I love the glow i get. its kind of pricey, but not really compared to lotions out there!
