I don't know about you guys but when I think about lemons, they make me happy. Even though they are sour, they remind me of summer and they just seem like they are a happy refreshing fruit! If Lemons could talk I just know we would be besties lol!!! I COULD not refuse these lemon pants I have from the Pineapple Clothing! They are going to be my summer uniform!! haha They have the best styles from badass, fun and simple for any style!

I always knew drinking lemon water was good for you. People have been drinking plain lemon water for forever. My five year old daughter even enjoys it. I really dug into it and its benefits. This is what I came up with. It has far more benefits than I ever thought!

First and for most we all know lemons to have an abundance of vitamin C. Vitamin C has antioxidants that help protect cells from damaging free radicals. This can reduce your skin from wrinkling, dry skin from aging, and damage from the sun. So I decided to purchase a face astringent with vitamin C, if it is so good for the insides it HAS to be just as good on the outside! I'll let you know haha

Lately I have really gotten into drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach! According to Healthline here are some benefits in doing that!

• Maintain PH balance
• Has antibacterial properties
• Digestive Health
• Increases metabolic rate
• Anti-inflammatory
• Electrolyes 
• Dental health (Fresh Breath! what a bonus! who doesn't like fresh breath!)
• Eases joint and muscle pain

• It may reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and lower blood pressure

• Lemon water has shown that polyphenol antioxidants found in lemons supports weight loss

If I want to get really crazy and really add more health boosting flavors to my water...I will add these!

• Mint
• A little bit of raw honey or maple syrup
• Ginger
• Cinnamon
• Turmeric (my favorite)

Lemon water is so fun! We have to mix it up or we will get bored! At least I know I do! Summer is coming lets bust out the lemons and really get our health and happy vibe going!

Always Thankful,  Katie
