It's only been about a year since I've been using coconut oil in baking and still wonder where my head was at years ago for not using it sooner. Kelapo extra virgin coconut oil is 100% organic, certified Fair Trade, and approved by The Vegetarian Society. Between the health benefits, flavor and miscellaneous uses of coconut oil, Kelapo is one of the better oils on the market in my opinion.

I had the opportunity to review an 11" x 14" Canvas Print and was thrilled when it arrived. The photo I chose is one that my son favors (of himself of course), so I decided to use that one for his birthday present.  The photo showing here does not do the canvas print justice since the background is way to light, but once my son hung it up in his apartment it looked terrific!
