Coconut Mama | Real Food, Natural Living, and Coconut Love

I’m a mama, a researcher, and a lover of all things food, drinks, and beauty - whether it's DIY or popular brands!

As a true believer, I started posting my recipes and DIY tutorials way back in 2010.

Since then, some like-minded friends have joined me to share their recipes, tips, and guides right here.

But we're not snobby. We also cover some of the most famous restaurants, food/drink brands, and more on Americans' everyday food habits (a Pumpkin Spice Latte or even the occasional Big Mac can live in the same space as my homemade coconut dishes or sugar scrubs).

Hundreds of thousands of you have joined my Pinterest and Facebook communities...embrace the power of the coconut!

Enjoy the site, and e-mail me below if you have any questions, ideas, or ways my fellow Coconut Mamas and I can help you better!
