6 Home Remedies featuring Apple Cider Vinegar

The benefits of apple cider vinegar (ACV) are too plentiful to list. Apple cider vinegar contains powerful antioxidants and it's been a trusted home remedy for centuries.  My mom recommends ACV for whatever ails you.  She's one of those who can drink that magical ACV tonic of water, honey and ACV.  Me?  Notsomuch.  I have tried several times but I just can't do it.

Rather than focus on the health benefits of ACV, I decided to share some beauty uses.  It's amazing how one ingredient can make be used for so many things.  I should clarify I used Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar for each of these. 

1.  Relaxing Bath:  Add 1/2 cup ACV, 1 cup Epsom salts and your favorite essential oil to your bath for a soothing, relaxing bath.

2.  Teeth Whitener:  1/2 cup ACV and 1/2 cup water.  Gargle after brushing

3. Sugar Scrub:  Mix 1 tsp. ACV and 1/2 cup sugar.  Can be used on face and makes a soothing lip scrub
Apple cider vinegar contains powerful antioxidants 
4.  Facial Cleaner:  1 part ACV to 3 parts water.  Apply with a cotton ball and rinse.

5.  Relaxing Foot Soak:  Mix one cup apple cider vinegar with four cups water in a basin. Soak feet for 15 minutes.  Rinse. Dry.

6. Hair Rinse: ¼ cup of ACV with 2 cups water.  Shampoo.  Massage ACV solution onto your hair and let it sit for 5 minutes.  Rinse.
Do you keep ACV on your pantry?  Have you tried any of these home remedies?

Honestly, I have not tried any of these. I think these are awesome because we can be assured that it is safe and natural. I have to try these hacks using apple cider vinegar soon. I'd start with the relaxing foot bath. :)

I've never tried cleaning with Apple Cider Vinegar. I might have to pick some up. I don't even have any in the house, but I'd be willing to try it.

I've heard it has many uses besides cooking. I do have a small bottle in my pantry that's been used exactly two times in as many years.

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing.  The birds are singin'.  The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up.  So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound.  It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year.   Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach.   'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before.  Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada.  Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila.  The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings.  It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...
