January 31, 2015 by Shellie Wilson 8 Comments

OK, let me warn you BEFORE you click. If you do not like profanity then do NOT click this link. Shannon from Shannon’s kitchen gives a very down to earth low down explanation on Coconut oil.  Her opening line is – Is coconut oil for rubbing on your —-

Again remember if you don’t like swear words then don’t visit it for everyone else, interesting article with a more than interesting writing style.

    In real life I drop the f bomb a lot. I swear on a daily basis. This lady takes it over the top, obviously using shocking language as a ploy to get people to read her blog. I’ve read tons on coconut oil and never heard it called a superfood in the US. (Although I haven’t looked it up in the past year). It’s obviously a fat so it would never be called that by anyone with a reputable degree. Coconut oil has a lot of hype Bc it’s an all natural substance that you can eat, use it in beauty products, and use it for oil pulling-which has been reported to help “fix” tiny cavities in your teeth. If you plan on reading the article,which is just her opinion of another article she read and threw in the C word more times than I ever care to read EVER. Im not easily offended, but she hit a nerve. Maybe it’s because she doesn’t have a clear understanding of how the body really works, although she does give correct information on the structures of fat itself. She seems more concerned with dismissing it because others are hyping it up, mostly Bc it doesn’t contain Omega 3s. I just wanted to post a further warning Bc I expected to see a few swear words, but it’s excessive. It’s not necessary to excessively use profanity in like that, and I think it unfortunately discredits anything she has to say that is important. Which is SO hypocritical of me to say, but I guess even *i* have a limit, which is refreshing to know in a weird way. (I am an RN in the US so I do have the credentials to back up my opinion on her writing about fats-organic Chem and the effects on the body). She does have the ability to make difficult concepts more easy to read by the non-medical population, but that is totally clouded by her humor-by using shocking language and even more shocking comparisons to female genetalia. :/ I would say this to her, but I try not to troll people and by reading the comments she obviously isn’t going to change things or take any constructive critism seriously. Plus there are people who actually find her entertaining. i know I was warned 🙂 and it doesn’t change my opinion about this blog which I read almost daily.

    Claire, thanks for your feedback, Yes her ability to put things into lay words is good. I wonder if her blog would get more traffic with less profanity? Not likely as then it would be the same as every other blog.
    Maybe she is also a good business woman, as her blog post get’s a lot more traffic than any of my bath and body write-ups. Don’t worry though I am not going to start using swear words. 🙂 Everyone please remember there is a warning for a reason.

    Thank you Shellie and Kerrie for your comments. After I read your post, i decided not to watch the video with all the swearing. Who needs more of this in your life. I can surely do without. There are plenty of other sites that are better. Thank You for warning ahead of the language.

    I use some profanity and always thought I was liberal in my thinking. Also do not like to put down blogs, people etc.
    But that article way over the top, and not in a good way. I didn’t finish reading the article bc of that. Too much good interesting stuff out there.

    I’m not a nurse, nor am I a nun… However, my thoughts on her excessive cursing and use of nasty slang terms are so irritating to try and read through. I throw f bombs around here and there, but seriously.. It’s not even amusing. It doesn’t offend me but it certainly doesn’t make me want to visit her blog again. Just saying!

    I’m not easily offended either, but I actually gasped twice and stopped reading it. You did try to warn us, though. But it’s just not funny. It’s more shocking than funny or clever.

    Wow, I work with truck drivers who speak better then that. Seemed to have great info. But so hard to drown out the cussing. Had to be done intentionally. Dispite my Mothers teaching I do drop a few bombs here and there. No one really talks like THAT do they? Guess bad attention is better than none.

    Thanks for the warning, I won’t bother reading her article or blog. I wiill only blame myself if (and I think there is a strong possibility here) I get effed off by some-person-I-hardly-know’s language.

DIY Summer Nail Designs You’ll Want to Rock All Season Long

As soon as the weather heats up and the days get longer, I swap out my moody nail colors for something a little more fun, flirty, and full of sunshine. Summer is the perfect excuse to get playful with your nail designs — and this year, I’ve been experimenting at home to find a few favorites that are both easy to paint and seriously cute.

I’ve rounded up three of my go-to summer nail looks that you can totally do yourself, even if you’re not a pro. These are the styles I keep coming back to because they’re fun, eye-catching, and honestly — they just make you feel good. Whether you’re heading to the beach, a backyard BBQ, or just want to admire your nails while holding an iced latte, these are the ones to try.

Let’s dive in!

Sunset Ombre Nails

This is hands down one of the most satisfying nail designs you can do yourself. The colors melt into each other like a beach sunset, and the end result looks way more advanced than it really is.

You’ll Need:

  • A base coat

  • Three polishes (I use pink, orange, and yellow)

  • A makeup sponge

  • Top coat

  • Nail polish remover for cleanup

How to Do It:

  1. Start with a clear base coat to protect your nails.

  2. Paint horizontal stripes of your 3 colors directly onto the makeup sponge.

  3. Dab the sponge gently onto your nail, reapplying polish to the sponge as needed. Tap until the gradient blends.

  4. Clean up any excess polish around your cuticle.

  5. Apply a top coat to smooth the colors and add shine.

This design is one of those that looks good even when it’s a little messy — the top coat really pulls it all together.

 

 Tropical Palm Silhouettes

If you want vacation vibes without actually going anywhere, this one’s for you. The pastel base paired with simple black palm trees gives it that dreamy island feel.

You’ll Need:

  • A light pastel base polish or soft gradient background

  • Black nail art pen or thin brush with black polish

  • Top coat

How to Do It:

  1. Paint your nails with a soft pastel or ombre base.

  2. Once dry, draw a thin curved line for the palm trunk.

  3. From the top of the trunk, add small lines that fan out to mimic palm fronds.

  4. Let everything dry completely before adding a glossy top coat.

Even if your palm trees aren’t perfect, they still look awesome. Think of it like nail doodling — just more tropical.

 

 Watermelon French Tips

This design is so cheerful, I smile every time I see it. It’s a fruity twist on a French manicure and it’s perfect for pool parties or picnics.

You’ll Need:

  • Pink polish for the base

  • Green and white for the rind

  • Black polish for the seeds (use a dotting tool or toothpick)

  • Base and top coat

How to Do It:

  1. Paint your entire nail a soft pink.

  2. Add a green curved tip at the top edge (like a French tip).

  3. Under the green, paint a very thin white stripe.

  4. Add small black dots on the pink section to create seeds.

  5. Seal it all in with your favorite top coat.

This one is such a crowd-pleaser and looks adorable on both long and short nails.

Whether you try one of these or rotate through all three this summer, I hope these nail designs add a little color and creativity to your routine. They’re simple enough to do at home but still look like you spent time (and money!) at the salon.

Let me know which one you’re trying first — and don’t forget to tag us if you share your summer nail look!
