Dear Coconut Oil

My Dear Friend Coconut Oil,

Hi, there! Just a quick note, since I don't think I've ever taken the opportunity to chat. How ya doing? Everything cool enough up there in the cabinet for ya? Your neighbors treatin' ya nicely? Good. Good. That's good.

So...yeah. Let me get to the point.

Dude. You're an effin' miracle. Seriously. Cooking. Cleaning. Wound-healing. What DON'T you do??

Oh, and I wanted to thank you specifically for saving my favorite boots recently. You know the ones -- brown, over-used, super dulled leather riding boots. Remember?

All I did was take a teeeeensy teensy amount between my fingers, rubbed it into the leather, and buffed off any of the white residue that appeared. Quick, and soooo satisfying.

It doesn't look like much, but they look like the perfectly-worn, gorgeously-colored boots that I fell in love with. And you did it. What can I say? You rock.

And I'm not the only one who thinks so. As you know, Dave uses you as his daily hair "product", and about a billion other people have found the wondrous plethora of uses you provide. I'm sure I haven't found a fraction of these uses, but I look forward to adding them to my arsenal over time.

Lots of love!

- Meg

P.S. You're awesome!
