Hi everyone! I was so happy when Joyce of Prosource reached out to send their products for us to try. I heard good things about Virgin Coconut Oil but was hesitant to try them at first because I hate grease. But Prosource VCO changed my perspective. I got so curious of VCO uses so I tried to do a little research and I'm so glad I did. Now, this is one of my favorite things in the world. To all mommies out there, you should know that VCO is your number one MUST HAVE.


When I first had my baby, almost all mommies around me uses Aceite de Manzanilla as a baby ointment for stomach gas pain and for baby massage. However, just recently, I just heard that this is no longer advisable because the contents are too strong for the baby's skin. They say the best alternative is VCO. Before using VCO, I did a research on the effects and basically how can it help, eventually, I found out that VCO has a lot of health benefits for my little one...



Here are some of the uses of Virgin Coconut Oil from

1. Reduces baby acne
2. Removing cradle cap
3. Diaper rash remedy
4. Healing wounds
5. Relieves sunburn
6. Treats ringworm
7. Treating itchiness and chicken pox
8. Baby massage
9. Hardens baby fontanelle
10. Cure for ear infection and pneumonia
11. Increase levels of lauric and capric acid for pregnant and lactating moms.

I am currently using Prosource VCO as an alternative for Manzanilla. I mentioned awhile ago that it changed my perspective towards using VCO. Why? First, it's non-greasy. Second, the smell (which is just the normal coconut oil smell... I even remember my Lolo because he used to massage me with Lana) doesn't stick. Third, it's really gentle on skin. Fourth, it is soothing. I use it to massage Olivia's tummy, back, knees and toes. I also use it to strengthen her fontanelle.

But wait there's more...

This isn't just good for the baby, it can also be your best skin care product...

It can be your natural skin moisturizer, makeup remover, lip balm/gloss/exfoliator, hair conditioner, stretch mark reducer, even makeup brush cleaner and a lot more. You can check out 77 Coconut Uses and Cures by Dr, Axe. By the way, ProSource All Purpose VCO can also help you lose weight.

Aside from the All purpose VCO, I also got their VCO calming oil which is really helpful especially that I make handmade accessories and my hands always hurt after working on orders. I am yet to try the VCO soap I also received. I will be doing a separate review for that.

You can check out more about ProSource on Facebook and Instagram. As of the moment, you can buy ProSource products at Mercury Drug for Php199, Watsons, South Star Drugstores, Robinsons Supermarket, Puregold, Pioneer Center, Landmark and other leading supermarkets nationwide. The Virgin Coconut Soap with aloe vera is available for Php 85. Currently, the Calming Oil is bundled with every VCO.

Just sharing that I lost major weight after giving birth almost 6 months ago. The best thing about it is that I did not to have to go on heavy diet. It's all just breastfeeding, simple exercises and waist training.

I know this is a little too late but I wanna share what I've been up to lately... from the book I read to the music I listen to and what I've been really obsessing about these days. Well, I'm a little obsessed with my kids but aside from them here's what makes my day every day.



My current read is Everyday Kath. I see your eyes rollin' there. LOL. I just love checking the book from time to time. It's never a secret that I am a KathNiel fan. But the book makes me kilig and inspires me mostly when I am out of motivation on everything girly... like fashion and beauty and.... fitness! Haha

I also read Lang Leav's Lullabies and Love & Misadventures sometimes... whenever I am feeling melancholic or hopeless romantic.

Currently watching Goblin for the 3rd time. I am really obsessing over this drama and I JUST CAN'T MOVE ON YET. I am also watching Scarlet Heart but doing it slowly because I am told that it has a tragic ending.
