poppin' pills...

okay fine, they're vitamins.

flinstone gummies and vitamin c wafers were an every day chore growing up.

my mother would seriously shove them down our throats hand them to us with breakfast every single morning.

as a kid i hated them only because they were something that we had to do. 

so as i got older and i started making my own decisions (mis-matched socks, britney spears dance offs, and AIM screen name choices) 

i quickly ditched the whole vitamin taking thing and never looked back.
such a rebel.

when i finally started to realize that my health was somewhat of an important thing (post college obviously)
because this was me from 2006-2010...

healthy lifestyle i was living in those 4 years... ha.

i really started looking into what my body was missing out on about 3 years ago.

like i said- post college.

and not for any reason in particular. just because i got curious.
i asked my regular doctor, my "female" doctor, and my mother (who knows all)

what would be best for me at this time in my life...

and i finally got myself on a vitamin regimen that works for me.

ya'll i can't believe i went so long without taking vitamins on a daily basis.

when i skip a day without taking them i can always tell a huge difference in the way i feel and even in my mood.

because of this i wanted to share with you what i take every morning.

granted, this will be different for each person- considering not one body is alike... 

but some of these are pretty common.
*consult with your doctor before starting anything though!
because i am by no means a medical professional- ha.

women's one daily:// a good combination of everything extra that women need.

pretty simple concept. plus it has folic acid in it for anyone that thinks they one day might want kids,
which helps prevent neural tube defects and must be taken prior to conception.

biotin:// for the hair, skin, and nails- this stuff is my favorite.

prenatals are also good for this! and no, you don't have to be preggo my leggo.

vitamin b:// gives your metabolism a little boost and gives you energy. 

it's also good for hangovers.

vitamin d:// immune support. so yours truly isn't sick all of the time.

or just go lay in the sun- that works too.

gingko biloba:// promotes circulation, helps you focus, and keeps that memory on point.

because sometimes i think i have ADD and this helps.

st. john's wort:// hello mood adjuster, my boyfriend thanks you.

i also take vitamin c and echinacea when i think i may be getting a cold.

and melatonin for sleepless nights.

but i don't take any of those on a daily basis.

oh and the thought of the original vitamin c wafers from the 80's still makes my mouth water. 

i loved those things! and now i can't find them anyyyywhere! 

so if you happen to stumble upon them- send them my way!

what are some vitamins you take on a regular basis?
