Reflection: My mother used to oil my scalp and hair daily with coconut oil. The memory of the creaminess, the heavenly distinct scent, and the loving touch of her hands will always be here with me. When I need self-care, I reach for pure coconut oil, warm it in my hands, and give myself a scalp massage to this day. xoxoxo, Rei
