When I worked at a supplement store during university, a customer came in to buy three large jugs of apple cider vinegar (ACV). I asked her what she was cooking, and she gave me a confused look. Then she pinches her midsection and tells me she’s going to get rid of her belly fat. This was 2007, and diet culture was rampant. I shrugged and wished her the best of luck. Fast forward to the present day, and apple cider vinegar is trending again, thanks to the popular Netflix drama of the same name.

My mornings are hectic. I wake up, usually with a couple of small feet in my face, wondering what day of the week it is. Life of a mom, right? So my morning routine needs to be simple, quick and no-fuss. I don’t have time to meditate, stretch, do a morning walk, reflect on my life goals, and write in my gratitude journal. The kids are screaming bloody murder. I have to brush my teeth, wipe that gunk out of my eyes, make breakfasts, and pack lunches.
