Infused Water Ideas for Spring

Maranda Pleasant

1. Create a ‘Hydration Station’ around your work area. I seriously call it that. I always have a pitcher of lemon water with Stevia or fruit water on my work table, along with a bottle of sparkling water, just to keep it exciting. I drink almost 2 gallons a day, and my skin and energy levels thank me for it, but I need to keep it fresh and exciting.

2. Drinking a ton of water helps with anxiety, stabilizing moods, improves attention and focus. Dehydration leads to major meltdowns for me where the world is ending, when all I need is a pitcher of water.

3. You can’t reduce your weight without hella water. It helps us flush our system and keep everything clean, including our minds.

4. Your skin is gonna shine baby shine. You’ll notice a difference in the first 7-10 days. My facialist asked me why I even bothered coming to her if I wasn’t going to slam water. I like it direct. You’ll see lines, creases and cracks ease up when you’re drinking a ton of aqua.
