Key West USDA Organic Raw Shea Butter Product Review

By

I have been compensated in the form of a gift card/money/coupon and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions expressed are mine and honest in nature.

 This was my first experience with raw shea butter. I wasn't really sure what I was getting myself into. I've used products containing shea butter, but never a container of raw shea butter.


But I was pretty excited to try the Key West USDA Organic Raw Shea Butter. If you are a follower of my blog,  then you know that I'm sensitive to smells. And if this didn't smell pleasant to me then it probably wasn't going any where near my skin. I opened the jar and took a whiff (this is probably why my son smells everything before he touches it ha) But it smelled ok. It really didn't have much of a smell which I liked. 

If you've never used Raw Shea butter before, let me enlighten you and tell you that isn't creamy like lotion. So don't expect it to be a lotion type consistency. But it wasn't difficult to use at all. I applied it directly to my skin and rubbed it around. My body temperature warmed it up, and it melted into my dry rough calloused feet. You could also choose to warm it up in your hands first and then apply it. Being a runner (Will Run For Ice Cream), my feet are in bad shape. And just after one application of the  Key West USDA Organic Raw Shea Butter, they felt softer. With Winter approaching, I know I will also use this on my knees, elbows and hands as they (in addition to my feet) are trouble spots for me. 

The Key West USDA Organic Raw Shea Butter is currently the only shea butter on Amazon that is certified $A organic. (meaning that others can state they are organic but may still contain chemicals). This shea butter is processed by hand resulting in the highest quality grade A shea butter. 

I'm overall pleased with the product. And for all of you DIYers out there, here is the YouTube channel for Key West Health and Beauty with great tutorials on how to use this raw shea butter to make other products. Since I'm not so much DIY, I'll be using it straight from the jar which works great for me. 


I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

2 Weeks Post Mohs Surgery

By
May 26, 2021 3:40pm  Finally, the phone call that I'd been waiting on. It was the Medical Center. ( Finally, we can schedule my surgery. ) She tells me who she is, and then tells me that she has a cancellation for tomorrow. ( Me stammering... )  "Ok, but I was thinking the end of June."   Then I hear "We just had a moment to look at your file. We really don't think that you should wait. We really think you should come in tomorrow at 8:15am" ( Me stammering again ) "Ok, I'll be there."  Wait, what? My mind is all over the place. I'm supposed to work. How am I going to get our son to school? Will my husband be able to go with me on such short notice. I expected this to be the end of June, not tomorrow. I'm not prepared! I was overcome with emotion.  May 26, 2021 Surgery Day I woke up at 1am with a horrible headache. By the time we arrived at the surgery center, I was definitely a bundle of nerves. I got checked in, went through the usual ...

Feel All the Feels Then Deal

By
Not what I expected when the phone rang. It was a routine dermatology appointment.  "Do you have any concerns?" “Yes, a small spot on my face. It comes and goes. Two weeks ago it had disappeared (again). So I'm actually glad that it’s back.”  It was the size of a pin head. It was teeny tiny. A nuisance, but not something that really seemed to bother me. “I suspect that it’s skin cancer.”  “So, we just burn if off, right?” “No, it needs to be cut out and sent to the lab.” I was not prepared for this. It’s on my lip! She’s going to cut a hole in my lip! She warns me that the shot is going to hurt and possibly a lot. She tells me this several times. (I’m thinking surely it can’t be that bad.)  I was wrong.  It hurt.  A lot.  I’m creeped out at the thoughts of her taking a chunk off of my face at the top of my lip. I’m even more creeped out as she tells me she’s going to burn it to stop the bleeding. Time and time again I hear the sizzle and the smell is n...

It's Been a Hot Minute

By
It's been a hot minute since I've written anything.... over a year. Between being a mom, full time student, and a substitute teacher during a pandemic, writing hasn't been a priority. More than once,  I've felt like I was in survival mode with classes. I didn't expect early block  to be so intense.  I admit that I broke down and cried several times this semester with feeling overwhelmed. But, I endured until the end, and I got straight A's for the semester. I'm proud of myself that I didn't give up. I am enrolled in 2 summer class, and 4 fall classes and studying for standardized tests that I must pass before I can begin my student internship.  I will be close to 50 when I graduate. Am I too old to do this? Who starts a career at 50????? I guess I do. I don't know what's going to happen when I graduate. I do know that I am enjoying the course work, and I'm enjoying being able to put what I have learned into practice as a substitute.  This sch...
