Since I became a Mama, it has been very important to me to regularly boost my immune system. I want to ensure that I’m as healthy as possible, the majority of the time. As Mamas, we do not have time to get sick because let’s be honest #nosickdays allowed lol.

Getting enough rest, eating healthy, and a consistent supplement routine are all a big part of that. But also gravitating toward superfoods that support a healthy immune system has been a game-changer.

Today, I’m sharing the wellness shot that I created years ago that helps me boost my metabolism and my immune system and keeps me healthy! When I first created this I would have it every morning for months, it made me feel so healthy adding it to my daily routine.

Now, I normally make this if I’m beginning to feel run down or someone is sick in our house. I have one per day for a week or so to give me that extra immunity boost. It’s so easy to make and you probably have all the ingredients. 

Apple cider vinegar, ginger, turmeric, and orange juice are all powerhouse ingredients that provide your body with Vitamin C, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds to improve immune function.

I can’t wait to hear what you think once you try it! It can definitely be an acquired taste because the apple cider vinegar and ginger are strong, but I find myself craving it and now I’ve made it part of my routine again.

Wellness Shot Benefits:
Ginger is anti-inflammatory and is excellent for fighting a cold, amazing for digestion, and helps with post-workout recovery.
Orange Juice has many nutrients including Vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant that plays a major role in our immune function. OJ also contains mineral potassium which regulates our blood pressure, protects against heart disease, and prevents bone loss.
Turmeric contains curcumin which is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It helps brain function, and could even lower your risk of heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
Apple Cider Vinegar improves heart health, may lower cholesterol and help lower blood sugar levels, and can aid in weight loss.
Black Pepper helps to boost the absorption of curcumin in turmeric so be sure to include it in this recipe.

Sometimes all I need is an errand run, an Aloha bar, lots of water, and a little time to myself.

If you had two hours to yourself today, what would you do? ✨

Our sweet girl is TWO 💛🌸 This birthday felt espec Our sweet girl is TWO 💛🌸

This birthday felt especially meaningful.

Two years ago, she arrived early and spent her first few days in the NICU while we waited to bring her home.

Watching her run around, laugh, play, and celebrate with the people who love her most… it’s hard to put into words how grateful I feel🥹

I also did something different this year. Instead of worrying about making everything perfect, I was simply present. I soaked in the little moments, watched her smile, and let myself enjoy the day.

Those are the memories I want to keep.

Happy 2nd birthday, Amirah. You are loved more than you’ll ever know🌈🩷

I make a homemade birthday cake for my kids every I make a homemade birthday cake for my kids every year. 🩷

It’s nothing fancy—I use a boxed cake mix and store-bought frosting, and I’m definitely not a professional cake decorator.

But every year I put so much thought, time, and love into making something just for them❤️

It’s one of the little traditions that means a lot to me, and one of the ways I get to show them how loved they are on their special day.

And honestly… birthdays feel special for us moms too. Watching them grow is the greatest gift, even if it means they’re growing up way too fast 🥹🎂

I know this isn’t everyone’s experience, and that’ I know this isn’t everyone’s experience, and that’s okay. 🤍

But every summer since Isaiah started school, I’ve found myself looking forward to having him home🥹

The slower mornings, the walks, the popsicles, the beach days, the little adventures, and even the ordinary afternoons together.

I know these summers won’t last forever, so I’m trying to soak up as many of these moments as I can while they’re here. ☀️

If you’re feeling the same, I’d love to know—what’s your favorite part of summer with your kids? #summerdays #momlife #mamaoftwo #slowsummerdays #ordinarysummer
