Coconut oil is a versatile and magical product that has gained popularity in recent years. It is derived from the fruit of the coconut palm tree and has been used for centuries in various cultures for its health and beauty benefits. Its unique composition and properties make it a prized ingredient in the cosmetic and culinary worlds. One of the main reasons why coconut oil is considered magical is its ability to nourish and hydrate the skin and hair. It has a high concentration of fatty acids, specifically medium-chain triglycerides, which penetrates the skin and hair follicles, providing deep moisturization. This natural oil can help heal dry and damaged skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Don’t You Love It When The Magic Happens

In the 1970 movie, Little Big Man, the character, Old Lodge Skins played by Chief Dan George, hopes to die with dignity and performs an elaborate ceremony in order to do so. He’s dressed in his full ceremonial gear surrounded by stunning nature, a huge sky, chanting with dignity, with grace, with fervor.
He lies down, peacefully awaiting death.
It begins to rain and he remarks to his grandson, “Am I still in this world? I was afraid of this. Sometimes the magic happens, sometimes it doesn’t.”
“Sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn’t.” I muse joyfully today on the magic that does work, the magic that keeps us going even when, well, we’ve orchestrated and planned and things do not come out quite as we’d hoped.
What magic works?
Whether prayer is magic is up for debate but when I pray, something magic happens. I let go, I am reminded that I am not running the universe. Magic happens. I’m a fan of the basic prayer I stole from writer Anne Lamott: “Help me. Thank you.”
My first cup of tea every day is magic. Made with Barry’s Black Irish Tea and topped with skim milk, every morning’s first sip is a miracle, magic.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has magic that is supplemented by a glorious, strong, educated, confident voice. If you have not listened to her response to Congressman Yoho’s apology, do watch the full nine minutes and 52 second of magic working in full on experience, strength and hope.
Going out for breakfast is magic that always works. It’s hard to ruin pancakes or eggs, coffee is always magic. It’s the beginning of a day, it’s hope, it’s magic, it’s breakfast.
Directness is magic that works. My wonderful husband, Dan, promised to put in some fencing this summer. As the clock ticked toward August, we had a conversation filled with clarity, with magic, with directness. The fences are up. I love my husband. Magic.
Art is magic that always works. When you create, you are magic. Whether you knit, paint, sing, play the ukulele, you are magic. Art is divinely consistent, divinely magical. My sister, Kate Donovan, has been creating magical bracelets, magical designs. She glows when she speaks of them, shares the images. These are magic.
Dogs are magic that work. While they can be slobbery, annoyingly barky, contributors to an already messy house, those pups work some magic through their looks of “I’ve got you.” They are always ready to go, delighted in a pizza crust, majestic in their raising their snouts to sniff. Canine magic works.
Freedom of the press is magic that works. Censorship is the antithesis of magic.
InDepthNH.org, with founder Nancy West, reporters Paula Tracy, Garry Rayno, contributors lMike Marland, Bob Charest, George Liset, John Herigan, Michael Davidow and others are pure pure magic.
And if you are reading this, we thank you. Freedom of the press at InDepthNH.org is magic that always works.
Enjoy the magic of your day, your tea, your art, your breakfast, your political reads, your prayer, your celebrating the magical voice of AOC, your new fences. I muse joyfully you will.

Reviews for "Magical Coconut Oil: A Miracle Cure for Dry Skin and Eczema"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really excited to try this magical coconut oil after hearing so many great things about it. However, I was sadly disappointed. The texture of the oil was greasy and heavy, and it left my skin feeling slick instead of moisturized. Additionally, the scent was overpowering and unpleasant. Overall, this product did not live up to the hype for me and I will not be purchasing it again.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I had high hopes for the magical coconut oil, but it ended up being a major letdown. The oil left a greasy residue on my skin that took forever to absorb, and even then, it didn't provide enough hydration. I also found the scent to be too strong and artificial. Despite the claims of this product being miraculous, I didn't notice any significant improvement in my skin or hair. Needless to say, I won't be recommending this product to anyone.
3. Mark - 2 stars - I was expecting an extraordinary experience with the magical coconut oil, but it fell flat. The formula felt heavy and thick on my skin, making it uncomfortable to wear. It also didn't absorb well and left a greasy sheen on my face. Additionally, despite its claims of providing intense hydration, I found myself needing to reapply the oil multiple times throughout the day to combat dryness. Sadly, this product did not live up to its promises for me.
4. Laura - 3 stars - I had mixed feelings about the magical coconut oil. While it did provide some hydration to my skin, I wasn't blown away by its performance. The oil felt too heavy on my skin and took a while to fully absorb. I also didn't care for the scent, which was too overpowering and artificial for my liking. Overall, I think there are better coconut oil options available on the market, so I wouldn't repurchase this particular one.
