Hi Marla,
I am often happiest when I am on a tropical island where I can step outside and find fresh coconuts everywhere. I love drinking fresh coconut water especially. I have also simplified my health and beauty routine and simply use organic coconut oil to replace all hair and skin moisturizers as well as in my kitchen for multiple purposes.
