I’ve recently discovered the power of apple cider vinegar, and I’ve fallen in love. It has so many health benefits, I still don’t even think I’ve discovered them all myself. Once you read all these uses apple cider vinegar has, I'm sure you’ll be throwing out some costly products for this one super product that can replace them all.

1. Skin

Once you get past the strong smell of ACV, putting it on your face won’t be so tough. A few of its benefits for your skin are it will help you reduce age spots, fight acne, balance your skin, fight wrinkles, and remove toxins from your face.

I’ve saved so much money on expensive face washes by replacing them with ACV.

2. Blood Sugar

If you are diabetic, pre-diabetic or just want to control your insulin and blood sugar levels, apple cider vinegar has shown great promise in regulating it all.

Like ACV, acetic acid has a positive effect on blood glucose and preventing blood sugar spiking after meals. Also, if you drink some before you go to sleep, it can help control blood fasting glucose levels.

Having high blood sugar can lead to a lot of chronic diseases, so even if you aren’t affected by diabetes, you still need to control it.

3. Heartburn

Ever eaten something super greasy or a big plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce, and felt regret afterward because of acid reflux? A natural remedy to help is drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.

Your stomach needs a healthy balance of acids and pH balance and drinking some ACV will cut the burn easily, plus you won’t feel guilty taking a medication if you’re like me.

4. Rid toxins

Drinking apple cider vinegar daily can help boost your liver back to health. One of its jobs is already to rid your body of toxins, ACV takes some of that workload off your liver.

This will also help boost circulation and help detoxify our body quicker. ACV helps reduce oxidization in your liver as well, this has shown an overall effect of reducing liver damage according to a lot of studies.

p.s. This does not mean it’s okay to take that fifteenth shot of tequila Susan, go sit down somewhere.

5. Common cold/allergies


As I said before, ACV is an acidic substance and it can help alkalinize the body. Creating an alkaline environment helps kill bacteria and viruses that cause colds and sickness.

For help with allergies, apple cider vinegar can help reduce mucus production and cleanse your sinuses.

I’ve been sick/ maybe developed allergies for the past few months and recently discovered this use of ACV. I’ve been drinking a tablespoon of it diluted in water once a day and I can say I’ve been seeing results without taking any medication.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
