All-Natural Hangover Remedies

January 4, 2016

If you’re a TCU football fan – or even a college football fan – you may have seen the Alamo Bowl game Saturday night. As a TCU alum, my heart was sinking at halftime when we were shutout 31-0, and I made the executive decision to order shots for me and my friends. (Don’t worry, mom. We took Uber.)

I never take shots. Never. And now I remember why. Sunday morning I woke up ecstatic from the turnaround the game took (ahem, triple-overtime with a 47-41 win in the end), but with lots of pain in lots of places, namely my stomach and my head. Ironically, I was scanning social media that morning and came across an article that stated you absolutely should not take Ibuprofen or Tylenol when you’ve perhaps indulged a little too much the night before. The combination of those drugs with alcohol in your system can be detrimental to your liver and your stomach lining and can lead to all sorts of health problems.

I don’t take medicine often, but I have been known to pop an Ibuprofen or two after a rare beverage-filled evening. No more of that for me, though. I have a few other options that’ll make you feel better than ever next time you wake up after one too many.

Fresh Pressed Juice: If you have a juicer, round up your kitchen’s produce that’s been lying around not getting eaten and toss whatever you’ve got in that bad boy. I used a tasty combination of apple, orange, clementine, Meyer lemon, and San Marzano tomatoes on Sunday that did the trick. Even my meat-eating boyfriend approved. If you don’t have a juicer, make a quick Whole Foods or Trader Joes run and grab the freshest juice they have (and try to pick one that has both fruit and vegetable contents). While you’re there, you can pick up a few ingredients for the next tip.

Infused Water: Infusing your water with fruit and herbs boosts your antioxidant levels and will refresh and hydrate you. Basically, it makes you enjoy the taste of sipping on water all day when it’s vital to sip on water all day. My favorite combination is lemon, cucumber, and mint infused H2O.

Coffee: Caffeine is always a good idea. Especially after a late night. It’ll help keep a withdrawal headache at bay and will give you a good boost to get out of bed, at least for a little while.

A Solid Sweat: I crave a good workout when I wake up hungover. Maybe I’m weird (probably) or crazy (also probably), but sweating it out is truly the only way for me to feel revitalized and refreshed and rid of alcohol toxins. Whether it’s a long run or a hot yoga session, do something that gets your heart rate up and sweat dripping. You’ll feel better. Pinky promise.

And if all of that doesn’t work, get to your nearest diner stat for some greasy eggs and hashbrowns, and then Netflix your day away. Always a solid backup plan.

Who do you think was more excited about this day t Who do you think was more excited about this day trip out to the coast... us or Wallace? 😅😂 I love them. Also, I can’t get over the burp cloth on John’s shoulder. Ya know, just in case. #newparentlife
One hour, just us two in our backyard with a big c One hour, just us two in our backyard with a big charcuterie board, a deck of cards, a couple glasses of rosé, and no baby monitor. 🤎

The first week of Wallace’s life? I ached even being in another room from him (#hormones). I was a wreck of emotions and had legitimate baby tunnel vision... preeeetty much nothing else mattered. But things have been balancing out this past week, and today was so needed.

My mom is in town all month and watched Wally for us so we could have some time just us two—yep, in the backyard because of shelter in place restrictions from COVID. (Plus let’s be real... I’m not quite ready for an out-of-the-house date yet anyway. 😂)

As much as I desire to be a present + loving mama and ambitious business owner, it’s just as important to me to prioritize our marriage with little moments like this to just be in each other’s presence (and not just talk about burping and swaddling and bedtime routines, like most of our recent convos).

Here’s to (almost) 2 weeks of being parents, @the_beermonger. I think we’ll do okay.

First family walk in the books! All of 10 minutes. 🤪 (Also, does anyone else notice the rainbow over Wally?... My heart. 🌈🥺)
1 week old. 🤎 The hardest, most emotional & mos 1 week old. 🤎 The hardest, most emotional & most rewarding week of my life. Babies’ sleep schedules, y’all. They are not for the faint of heart.

Wallace is hitting all his milestones, has learned the alphabet, and is picking up Latin. Just kidding. But he CAN poop 3 times in an hour and a half 😎, and he eats like a champ, is so strong that we prefer to tag team diaper changes for now, and makes the sweetest, cutest noises all day long. (And night.) Like even his cry is cute. 😩

One of my friends called this time the “wet weeks”: urine, breast milk, spit up, night sweats, tears, blood, more tears. It’s a lot, and it’s temporary. So even in the hard moments, we are reminding ourselves that the hardest things are often the best things. 

And this really has been the best thing.

So, so thankful for a hands-on husband who’s been so involved in everything... there’s something indescribable about watching your partner care for your child and step into a big, new role like this so gracefully. And we are thankful for ALL of the support, near and far (... mostly far), from our family and friends and coworkers. What a week... here’s to continuing to figure it all out together as a family. 😌

Welcome, Wallace Ronal Skelton. 🤎 You kept us waiting until you decided, very quickly, you’d like to be here. I’m still in disbelief that you are ours.

Well, this baby friend doesn’t exactly have our Well, this baby friend doesn’t exactly have our sense of punctuality which realllly threw me for a loop after thinking & saying for months that I was certain he/she would get here early. I’ve drank 3 boxes of raspberry leaf tea in 3 weeks, walked dozens of miles, eaten way too many dates, done hundreds of squats and bench step-ups... and now I’m surrendering. You come whenever you feel like it, little one. I’m comfy enough and can still sleep through the night (minus a bathroom break or two) so we will just keep on waiting and letting you teach us our first lesson of parenthood: PATIENCE. I knew I could always use some more of it. 😉 #40weekspregnant #pregnancy
