Honey Hangover Remedy

You guys know I like a cocktail from time to time. But if I have too many (which is very hard for me to figure out) I get the WORST hangovers ever. I’ve said it before but I can have 2 beers and feel terrible the next day and then the next month have 3 cocktails and be totally fine. It just doesn’t make sense to me. I’ve never been able to figure out what I should be drinking so that I don’t get terrible hangovers. And let’s be clear. I think I have had 3 hangovers since I had my son 8 years ago. And that was 3 too many in my opinion. Hangovers and children do NOT mix. Not that I am looking to up the amount I drink but I have started looking in to various hangover helpers. I mean, it can’t hurt, right?

I had no idea that honey played a role in hangover remedies. What is so great is that you probably already have honey in your house and don’t need to go buy anything for this remedy. And honey makes a great cocktail ingredient so it kind of kills two birds with one stone. [Read more...]

Drinkwel is the Vitamin for People who Drink

*I asked to review this product because I really hoped it would work for me. Drinkwel graciously sent me some to try. All opinions are mine.

Dearest Drinkwel,

I love you. Will you be my best friend forever?

I am not a lush. But I like a drink or two. Especially in summer when I’m on vacation without my kids. BUT! I get the worst hang overs. So when I came across Drinkwel online, I felt like I needed to try it. During the summer I usually take several mini trips. This year Drinkwel came along with me to my girl’s trips in Scottsdale and Palm Springs. And it will go with me and my husband to Mexico in a few weeks. And I’ve used it several times in town. The verdict? Consider me a huge fan.

So how do you use it? Well, it’s a supplement that helps how your body handles the toxins from alcohol. You take 3 capsules with lots of water before you drink and then another 3 with lots of water before you go to bed. I’m not going to get all technical and tell you how it works, you can check that out over on their website. All I know is that when I took it, I felt GREAT the next day. I want to disclose that I was not hammered on any occasion so I can’t say how it works if someone were to REALLY indulge.

This doesn’t make me feel like I should just go ahead and drink way more than I usually would. But it gives me a little reassurance that the next day I won’t be relegated to bed. Or the couch with kid’s asking me to do ridiculous things like make them breakfast.

There are several ways to buy Drinkwel including the 90 capsule bottle and also travel packs that are super easy to take on a night out with you. Have you tried it? I would love to know what you think!

*All opinions are mine. As always. Forever and ever. Amen.
