Here is a wonderful post from our friends over at Nina Dunedin!

Something new is brewing! We’d like to announce our collaboration with a fellow entrepreneur serving the world a product with love and integrity. Conscious Coconut sells fair trade organic coconut oil across the US, and for every tube that is sold she provides a child a meal through Feeding America. What better way to promote...

I’m on my way back from an awesome trip to Palm Springs, California. I’m a beach baby but my soul loves the desert. The weather is vastly different than Florida though. Both are 100 degrees but with Florida humidity sometimes you can’t figure out if its raining or not; and Palm Springs is super dry and the dust storms can kick your tush. I had my coco in tow and used a whole tube this...

I love everything about Wanderlust. I am inspired by every post I read, event attended and now avocado toast eaten at their new space called Wanderlust Hollywood. When I lived on Bali I spent my days at the Yoga Barn in Ubud and always dreamt of a place similar here in the States. Think of your favorite yoga studio, coffee shop, vegan cafe and Soho House rooftop rolled into one. It’s...

Have you ever wondered what it means to be Fair Trade Certified?

Thousands of growers and workers worldwide have dedicated themselves to the production of coconut oil. We have their knowledge, skill and artistry to thank for our amazing coco! Most coconut oil is grown and pressed in developing countries, which often lack fair wages and suitable working conditions. However, the best...

I’ve been exceptionally mindful of what I put in this belly since starting Conscious Coconut. I’m traveling and on the road all day and sometimes, I just forget to eat. I’m busy and as 2-3pm comes around – I crash, have a headache and get grumpy; as would be expected. It became quickly apparent that if I didn’t fix this asap I wouldn’t have the energy to grow this business the way I have...

Welcome to Spoontember….I mean, September – also known as Feeding America’s Hunger Action Month! Hunger Action Month was established in 2008 and is a nationwide campaign committed to “going orange” + raising awareness about hunger in the States. It is our opportunity to be a part of a month-long movement that has a real + lasting impact on the mission to fill bellies and wipe out hunger...

I’m a traveler. I love it. I love packing. I love planes, trains, tuk-tuks, automobiles, boats, motorcycles, horses, bicycles, overnight buses, and trolleys. I love airports. I love the lines. I love when my boarding pass pops up in the passbook app on my iPhone. I love when they call my boarding zone. I love my passport and the matching holder and luggage tag. I love the snacks I pack...

At first, it was such a monster of a question when asked “why coconut oil?”. I would mumble, “well, it has these properties and it functionally acts like this and that, and you can use it in these 5000 ways blah, blah”. My response nowadays is, “what can you NOT use it for”. I don’t mean to be a sass, its just that over the last few years, it’s proving to be true.

I’m not really here to...

You should be your own best friend. One aspect of the relationship with myself (“self-ship”) would be my yoga practice. It is similar to mirror work yet feels like I am chatting with another person. I have worked hard to hear my inner guide and so that conversation is loud. Its like the best version of myself, family, best friend, teacher and magic carpet all rolled into one. I know my...

Get a little too much sun this weekend? So did I (and I wore my favorite floppy hat) Protecting the money maker is a personal priority of mine being born and raised in Florida. Hat, glasses, sunscreen, always. So you can imagine how interested I was to find out coconut oil has an estimated SPF of 4-6. I’ve seen some articles and blogs even stretch that up to an SPF 10.
