We have all heard the words mind, body, soul and spirit. We know they describe aspects of a human being, but do we really stop to think about what these words really mean and their profound impact on our lives? My intention with this blog is to share my discoveries, knowledge and insights on my journey towards self-actualization

ACV Detox Drink
I've been feeling a little under the weather, but drinking this 2x a day has really helped clear out my symptoms. Not only does this elixir eliminate toxins from the body, it may aid in weight loss by revving up the metabolism and curbing your appetite.
Drink this first thing in the morning and mid afternoon (preferably with a straw to keep your pearly whites healthy... Although lemon has an alkalizing effect on the body, it has a high pH at first!)
Ingredients
12-16oz spring water
2 tbsp organic, raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (I use Bragg's)
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 dash cayenne pepper (this is optional)
Directions
Blend ingredients together and drink on an empty stomach
This is a great detox drink to flush out your system and kick start your body for the day!
Lemon juice is known for it's antibacterial and immune boosting properties. It also helps balance pH levels and alkalize the body (See my post on lemon water).
Apple cider vinegar is my go to detox supplement. ACV is known to remove toxins from the liver/blood and helps aid digestion. Besides cleansing your body, ACV is known to fight fatigue, headaches, allergies, skin conditions, control weight and help regulate blood sugar.
Cinnamon is one of the best antioxidants to help reduce cravings and balance blood sugar
