I know so many people who just cant stand drinking water, and lemme tell you, I use to be the exact same way. I grew up drinking soda, juice and (yum yum) lemonade. Trust me, it was a huge lifestyle shift for me to cut those things out of my diet. But once I did, not only did I loose a little weight but definitely noticed many other benefits. I have significantly fewer migraines & headaches, my skin is more radiant & has little to no blemishes, I have more money (water is FREE at restaurants!) and more energy. I cannot sing the praises of water enough. I drink 3 to 4 liters per day! I crave water. Drinking this much water even helps train your bladder to be stronger. Yes!! You will be the champion in the window seat of the 5 hour cross-country flight!!

One way I began my transition to drinking more water is by putting fruit in my water. I would put lemon wedges, strawberries, raspberries and cucumbers. Apples & grapefruit sound delish too. You can even make your own fruit ice cubes...

Mmmm.... kiwi!

I urge you to incorporate more water into your diet this week, and more & more each week that follows. Oh, and invest in a fabulous water bottle! The US is currently the number one consumer of bottle water and here is why that is no bueno: 

 My roommate & I have water jugs that we fill up every week with purified water. I also recently got myself a water bottle with its own filter which is especially nifty for traveling because you can fill it up after you get through security and feel refreshed as you travel! 

I prefer 1 liter bottles to help me gauge my daily water consumption. 

I love my Sigg & bobble... and right now through April 25th when you order a bobble they will send one to a friend for free! Oh my gosh how great is this!!? Spread the love.

happy thirst quenching!
