I've heard about all the lovely coconut oil reviews so I decided to try some things out.
First I tried a body scrub with coconut oil and sugar. It was absolutely lovely and smelled good...but then about 30 minutes out of the shower I smelled DISGUSTING, like I had rubbed trash and dead fish all over me.
So I got a different jar, different brand and tried it as a moisturizer on my face. Same thing.
I got ANOTHER jar, another brand, and tried it as a hair mask. I had to wash my hair 4 times times to get the smell out, and even then it was a few days until the smell really left for good.
It's all been extra virgin and organic...which I thought was supposed to be good? I'm afraid it's something I'm doing, I just can't figure out what!!

Products react different for everybody. Maybe your body chemistry doesn't work well with it. That sucks tho. I'm sorry girl

Thank you, ladies! I guess I've just got some funky reactions. :(
