When I first had the idea for Kovi Kai back in 2017, my goal was to make healthy eating easier for busy moms like me.
.
You see, I LOVED my morning ginger tea – it was a daily ritual that grounded me before the mad rush of packing lunches, planning play dates, and shuttling my boys between school and soccer practice. But peeling, chopping, and juicing ginger every morning was messy and time consuming.
.
So when I started pressing and freezing my ginger juice, I had more time in the mornings to do productive mom stuff. Except – instead of doing more meal prep, more cleaning, more whatever – something interesting happened.
.
I took more time to actually be present with my children. Instead of racing around the kitchen, I could sit with my boys and chat while they ate breakfast. I could learn about their school life and friends, their boyish troubles and big dreams. I am so grateful for every minute that I won back with them.
.
My two boys have been at the center of my life since they were born. But they became the heart of my work too. When I officially launched my business, I decided to name it after them because Kovi Kai is my little way of building a better future, a better planet, for them.
.
And even when things are tough – when I’m at my wits end because of the latest packaging snafu or website crash – my boys inspire me to keep striving for this vision of a better world.
.
So even though this is the day where moms are supposed to get all the appreciation, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank my sons, my husband, and my whole family. Thank you for supporting me on this journey through motherhood, but also through entrepreneurship.
.
Happy mother’s day to all you moms out there! Especially those who juggle running a family and a business at the same time. I know it's not easy, but I hope you find it as rewarding as I do. by @kovikai

Ginger is chock full of enzymes that aid in digestion, as well as powerful antioxidants that neutralize cancer-causing free radicals. This humble rhizome has been used for thousands of years to relieve pain, reduce nausea, promote immune function, and protect against both chronic and acute disease. There is even evidence that ginger can help regulate blood sugar levels by @kovikai

Turmeric is one of nature’s most powerful anti-inflammatory foods. Chronic inflammation is a major contributing factor to diseases like diabetes, arthritis, and cancer. So by incorporating turmeric into your diet, you can reduce inflammation and promote blood circulation to ward off these conditions. Evidence suggests that turmeric might even combat cancer by inhibiting tumor growth and encouraging tumor-cell death. As with ginger, the benefits of turmeric are most pronounced when taken fresh, rather than dried. by @kovikai
