Hi! At my local CVS I found an infuser bottle that allows you to add fruit juices (I’m a lime fan) or the liquid flavored adders…another great water tip is Lupton green tea in the bags. They have several flavors (orange jasmine is my fav), and when added to I’ve water it seeps slowly. Flavor with no extra calories 🙂

Love your before and afters!

I am loving those tiles. I wish we were working on a bathroom because I would love to put a printed tile floor in. I am seriously obsessed with those! I will have to try that wine too! I don’t have any good advice on the water since I try my best to do the same. My problem is tea and iced tea…that’s what I crave instead of water. I have gotten into the habit of sipping on a glass of water when I first wake up and sometimes I add lemon since that is supposed to be very cleansing. I need to drink more though. My husband is the one with the Diet Coke problem though. He drinks WAY too much of that every day. I wish I could get him to drink more water too! Great list – enjoy your week!

Jenny., it might help to drink your h2o over ice. I sometimes put my water bottle in the freezer and let it get ice crystals in it – yummy. I drink h2o all the time and it has become a learned behavior.

My favorite way to get myself to drink water is by putting a small amount of organic lemon juice (they come in a 2 pack of large bottles at Costco) and a squirt of liquid vanilla stevia (Sweetleaf-I buy on subscription from Amazon). Its like a sugar free lemonaide. I could never drink real lemonaide because it’s too acidic for me (sugar makes the lemon acidic-lemon without sugar is alkaline). I can’t seem to get myself to drink plain water!

I gave up soda many years ago but I remember the primary problem was that I missed the effervescence and a flat drink just didn’t satisfy. Maybe flavored seltzer water would help kick the soda habit.My kids drink carbonated Desani instead of soda and like it, Especially the lemon or lime flavored!

I love my water ice cold and have to force myself to drink lukewarm water. You might find you like one more than the other. I also have a Tervis cup that I carry EVERYWHERE I go so that I always have access to water. It has a great lid and these days I make sure I have a purse that I can carry it in easily. I’ve had it tip over a couple of times and it hasn’t been an issue as long as I have it closed:) I also keep most other types of beverages out of the house. Hope that helps!

Sometimes I feel like drinking water with a straw somehow makes it easier to do. I also like to make sure when I’m going to sit at the computer for a while to have a glass near me. I just mindlessly drink it and I don’t even remember doing it.

Hope it helps and Happy New Year!
