Competition: Kelapa Organics Skin Care Hamper and Review

A new discovery for us and one that we’re quite pleased with.

Kelapa Organics features an affordable and nourishing range of skin care goodies with raw coconut oil as the shining main ingredient. We were quite lucky to test three of the products and we also have a hamper pack available for one lucky reader.

Kelapa Hamper

Review:

Kelapa Organic Body Lotion: A lotion that is soft and light in texture. We recommend this for those who prefer something that sinks in quickly, so you can dress at top speed. Gently scented with orange and a must for freshly shaved legs.

Kelapa Intensive Conditioning Treatment: Perhaps the best conditioning treatment we’ve tried in a long time. Hair feels silky and smooth after only one use and knots aren’t quite as ferocious as usual after hair washing. Argan oil features in the formula which is known for softening and helping to repair needy spilt ends.

Kelapa Organic Face Moisturiser: If sensitive skin is an issue for you, trying this may just be the thing you need. This is a simply lovely moisturiser; skin feels soft and plump after daily use. It has a barely-there scent, making it good for sensitive noses. We also like to use it as an eye cream.

We have 1x Kelapa Organics Skin Care Hamper Pack to give away to 1 lucky Beauty and Lace reader.

The pack contains: Organic Body Lotion, Organic Hand Lotion and Coconut and Vanilla Body Wash.

  1. Coconut baked onion rings is my favourite recipe.

    INGREDIENTS
    ½ a large yellow onion, sliced into rings
    ¼ cup almond meal + 2 tablespoons, separated
    ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
    ¼ cup egg whites

    INSTRUCTIONS
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper.
    Place coconut flakes plus the 2 tablespoons of almond meal in a shallow dish and mix together.
    Place ¼ cup almond meal in a separate shallow dish with salt & pepper and mix together.
    Pour egg whites into a small bowl.
    Take one ring at a time and coat with almond meal first, then dip into egg whites and then coat in the coconut flakes. Place onion ring on baking sheet and repeat with remaining rings.
    Bake for 8 minutes and then remove from the oven and carefully flip. Bake for another 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
    Serve with preferred dip. I mixed plain greek yogurt and sriracha together.

  2. It’s a toss-up between Thai coconut soup with the coconut milk perfectly balancing out the spiciness of red curry OR coconut cream pie! Lots of fluffy, coconutty goodness 🙂

  3. My favourite meal to cook using Coconut is THE ONLY meal I know how to cook using Coconut – I make Satay Chicken and mix a small tin of Coconut Milk or Cream in. It helps create a beautiful, tasty satay.

  4. I am a sweets lover so really love when I add toasted coconut to my pavlova roll – it gives it that little nutty flavour to the meringue, thus makes it taste fantastic.

  5. I love making home-made granola with coconut nectar (which acts as a sweetener) and shredded coconut – YUM!!!

  6. coconut milk is fantastic in any curry and you can do so much with it even in satay coconut is amazing… I have just seen a recipe for HUGE bounty ( bounty chocolate) you can make at home I am going to make this without a doubt YUM

  7. PUMPKIN COCONUT TART
    Combining the coconut flavours using lite coconut milk in the filling along with pumpkin mashed with more coconut milk. Garnished with grated coconut flakes and this is a delicacy.

    INGREDIENTS
    CRUST (OR BUY A READY MADE BASE FROM SUPERMARKET)
    • 1 1/4 cups white flour
    • 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
    • 4 tablespoons cold reduced-fat cream cheese

    FILLING
    • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin mashed using marg or butter and coconut
    milk
    • 3/4 cup sugar
    • 2 tablespoons dark rum (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 cup “lite” coconut milk

    GARNISH
    • 1/3 flaked coconut
    • Dollop of Cream
    PREPARATION
    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 11-inch round or 8-by-12-inch rectangular removable-bottom tart pan with cooking spray.
    2. TO PREPARE CRUST: Combine flour, almonds, 1 tablespoon sugar and salt in a food processor; process until the almonds are finely ground. Add butter one piece at a time, and then cream cheese by the tablespoonful, pulsing once or twice after each addition, until incorporated. Turn the dough out into the prepared pan (it will be crumbly), spread evenly and press firmly into the bottom and all the way up the sides to form a crust.
    3. Bake the crust until set but not browned, about 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
    4. TO PREPARE FILLING: Beat pumpkin, 3/4 cup sugar, rum, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Beat in coconut milk. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and pour in the filling.
    5. Bake the tart until the filling is just set (the center may still appear soft, but will become more solid as it cools), 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature. Serve room temperature or refrigerate until chilled. Remove the pan sides before slicing. Garnish with coconut and serve with a good dollop of cream.

  8. Crush biscuits, add melted chocolate or cocoa, condensed milk , roll into balls, then roll in coconut ( can add a dash of liqueur if the mood takes you!)
