I love sharing these things with you guys. Life is about trial and error and thanks to the internet, we don't have to learn everything the hard way ourselves. I'm constantly trying new things, methods, supplements, foods... etc.. to make my life and your life a little better. When we feel good, it reflects into everything we do. Thank you for reading and thank yourself for wanting to be better than you were yesterday.

I drink one or two probiotic bubbly drinks a day. They're the perfect pick-me-up in the afternoon or the morning when you're getting your day started. I also take one supplement day and night on an empty stomach. 

I eat a very alkaline diet but I notice a big difference when I'm not taking my probiotics. My stomach will get acidic naturally. They make such a huge difference in my life. 

I love THIS kombucha, it's my favorite. And my favorite supplement is HERE.
