Coconut Oil Pulling Hearts

Oil pulling is the latest health trend and its kind of weird. For those who do not already know, oil pulling is an ancient folk remedy that involves swishing a tablespoon of oil around your mouth for 20 minutes. There are so many benefits associated with oil pulling. It is supposed to draw out toxins from your body, improve your oral heath, whiten and strengthen teeth, improve your skin and your overall health. There are also claims that it can even relieve headaches and hangovers and help you sleep better.

I have tried over the counter whitening products but they are far too harsh for my sensitive teeth. I got excited about the fact that something so natural could possible brighten my teeth up a bit without causing any damage or sensitivity. I oil pull quite regularly. I noticed my teeth a little bit whiter, but they feel super clean! 

These little hearts are so bloody cute and super convenient. I mean at 7am who can be bothered having to go get a spoon from the drawer, walk over to the other side of the kitchen, open up the jar, scoop out some coconut oil then, walk back to the other side to put the spoon in the sink.  Okay it's not really that big of a deal,  but with these babies you just grab the jar from the fridge, pop one in your mouth and your good to go! Also the added peppermint oil in these make them actually taste pretty good and leave you feeling minty fresh.
