Health Tip of the Day!

DRINK WATER!

I know what you all are probably thinking.... DUH, or "I've heard this before" but I have a couple of helpful tips for those of you out there that struggle with this. 

Personally, I'm not a big fan of water. I think there's no taste to it therefore its boring compared to something like lemonade or apple juice. However, recently I've started drinking a lot more water, and here's how.

***

~ ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS keep a water bottle with you. Whether you like water or not, whenever you get thirsty, you are going to go for that water bottle. 

~ Splurge a little on a cute water bottle or tumbler. I LOVE my tumbler from Starbucks® and therefore I always want to carry it around, or some other cute reusable water bottles. They can be an accessory to any outfit ;)

~ Try to naturally flavor your water with some fruit! I have a tumbler with an infuser in it and I absolutely LOVE it! It gives water a taste without any added junk that you find in drinks like soda

~ When going out to eat, if you really can't control yourself and want a juice or a soda, try ordering a water with it. When I have my cheat days, if I order a coke, I'll order a water with a lemon as well and I find myself drinking the water too!

~ If you really can't stand water that much, try eating water rich foods like cucumbers, melon or celery.
