NATURAL HEARTBURN REMEDY


A couple of years ago my uncle told us that he drinks a small cup of water with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar mixed in it everyday and that completely stopped his heartburn. Matthew was having heartburn every now and then at the time, so we tried it to avoid taking over the counter medicine, and it worked!

We know for sure it works because whenever he goes too long without some good ol ACV his heartburn will return. Understandably, Matthew HATES it, but still does it to avoid heartburn and medicine. We have used honey and lemon juice to try and dull the unpleasant taste of ACV, but we have gotten to where we just do a teaspoon of ACV and water every morning. If I am feeling sick or I have a cough, then I will add honey and lemon juice. 

There are so many benefits to drinking a small amount of apple cider vinegar each day, you can read some of those here

Can you get past the bitter taste of ACV??

ACAI BLUEBERRY - LEMON LIME DRINK


In one of my many attempts to give up soft drinks years ago, I started drinking a packet of the Great Value Acai Blueberry mix in my water every morning. It has caffeine in it so I was able to avoid those dreaded caffeine headaches and it did the trick. I didn't totally give up soft drinks, but it cut them in half, if not more.

At the beginning of this year I started drinking a lemon lime seltzer water with my lunch every day. I liked the carbonation and the flavor for a sweet "treat" in the afternoons. One day I decided to mix the two together and LOVED it. I decided to forgo the can of seltzer water at lunch every day in order to have one in the morning mixed with a drink packet. Best decision, ever. 

So now, every morning I start my day with the acai blueberry - lemon lime drink in my Lily Pulitzer tumbler (obsessed with this tumbler! I received it as a Christmas present and have used it almost every day since, so cute and durable!) and love it. For all you coffee people, this is my "coffee" ;)

I have also heard that grapefruit juice mixed with plain seltzer water is delicious! I want to try that soon, too.
