GIVEAWAY: Organic coconut oil

coconut oil

I am obsessed with coconut oil! It is an amazing oil and can be used for so many things: cooking, baking, moisturizer, weight loss, conditioner, lice killer, deodorant and much more. And today is your special day— Family Sponge is giving away Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to one lucky reader!

Winner will receive two 15-ounce jars of Nutiva USDA-certified organic, extra virgin coconut oil. Why two jars? Well, we think that you are gonna love it so much that you will keep one in your kitchen for cooking and one in your bathroom for moisturizer (using one jar for both is a little funky). And we like to do giveaways right. So, are you ready to get hooked on coconut oil?!

    Entered all 3 steps! Thank you so much for this opportunity! Very intrigued by the many uses of cocnut oil :)

  2. Gabriele March 31, 2012 at 7:16 pm #

    Just did all 3 as well! I love Family Sponge and as a gluten-free vegan, I’ve been fervently reading all your posts about coconut oil! It sounds really cool :)

    • Family Sponge April 2, 2012 at 5:45 pm #

      Thanks for the love Gabriele! And I am interested in hearing more about gluten-free vegan… wanna share how that story with us? My husband and I keep teetering on the line of going raw foods/vegan, but haven’t crossed it yet. I have been a vegetarian for 10 years and love it— but kinda feel like I need to step up. Thoughts? Advice?

      • Gabriele April 3, 2012 at 5:43 pm #

        Sure! Honestly, being vegan came out of as a vegetarian, learning more about how horribly animals are treated in the dairy/egg factory farms (and dairy really isn’t that good for you). The dairy industry kind of fuels the veal industry, as well.

        I found out I had celiac last year, but since I was used to not eating groups of foods that weren’t vegan, it wasn’t hard to give up bread (especially when it was something making me sick!).

        Veganism really isn’t much harder than vegetarianism. It isn’t hard to make/find replacements for cheese and milk. Almond milk is delicious! I have a bunch of tips on both veganism/gluten-free, if you’d like me to go more in-depth! :)

        • Jadah Sellner April 4, 2012 at 11:01 am #

          I would love to hear more too! I’m definitely considering vegan too. Maybe you should share your story with the Family Sponge readers.

    I actually just bought a small jar of coconut oil from a health food store to try it out… Starting with the cosmetic stuff and just saw the idea of whipping it, very excited to try that! Thanks, Family Sponge, for all of your great articles and ideas!

    • Family Sponge April 2, 2012 at 5:42 pm #

      Yeah Jen! Welcome to the world of coconut oil! You can even use it as a substitute for butter in pancakes– very tasty. Let me know how it goes with the beauty stuff.

    • SaraAnn April 6, 2012 at 8:44 pm #

      I subscribed, liked Family Sponge on Facebook, and told all my friends about the giveaway on Facebook as well, along with pinned the article about coconut oil. I’ve been intrigued about all I’ve heard about coconut oil lately and what a great way to try it out for the first time, free! Thanks for the opportunity.

  29. Yvette W. April 7, 2012 at 7:16 am #

    I am totally intrigued by coconut oil lately! I would love to win some to give it a test drive!! I completed all three requirements…hoping I’m lucky today!

  30. Marcia Calhoun April 8, 2012 at 12:40 am #

    I liked you on FB, I subscribed to the newsletter and I shared on FB! Hoping to win because I too love coconut oil!

  31. Marcia Calhoun April 8, 2012 at 12:41 am #

    submitting my 2nd entry, I pinned it on Pinterest!

    • Family Sponge April 8, 2012 at 7:41 pm #

      Thanks Marcia! Good luck winning! You mentioned that you love coconut oil as well— do you have any personal testimonies to add to the list? I love hearing other uses for it— it’s an incredible oil.

  32. Ingrid P. April 8, 2012 at 4:13 am #

    I did all three steps. I love cocunut oil too, but haven’t used the Nutiva brand yet.

    • Family Sponge April 9, 2012 at 7:21 pm #

      What brand do you recommend? I have used Nutiva and love it. But I haven’t had a chance to compare it to other brands. I hear nothing but good things about Mountain Rose Herbs and actually order 2 gallons on their site last week. (Yes, I said gallons. I’m going all the way!)

  33. Rita Galloway April 8, 2012 at 11:58 am #

    Done all three. I just thought I knew all the ways to use coconut oil.

  34. Constance April 8, 2012 at 4:32 pm #

    Did all three! I loved reading all the uses for coconut oil, so excited to start using them!

    • Family Sponge April 9, 2012 at 7:20 pm #

      Yeah! It’s awesome stuff. I’ve even used it in your banana bread recipe when I didn’t have applesauce for the oil substitute. :) —Jen
