Try a twist of cider vinegar!
During March we’ve decided to focus on the health benefits of apple cider vinegar. Dip fresh apple in it to prevent the apple browning for your salads. Try a splash of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before meals. Make a tonic by adding your favourite citrus juice, turmeric, chilli or tabasco type sauce to spice it up!
Vinegar is said to cure a thousand woes. Use it in your hair after washing for added shine!
