LET'S TALK ABOUT WATER BABY
I have never been a huge water drinker, well I actually don't drink too many liquids other than coffee or wine (so unhealthy I know). However, after losing my fiance suddenly I had completely forgotten about taking care of myself and had been living off caffeine for like 6 months.
Now that I am getting my head in a better space, I am slowing starting to look after myself again. So I have decided I would start with something small - increasing my water intake. Small step I know, but for me, it's a huge step!
Ultimately, what is this small step going to help me achieve? Well did you know that water is essential to your body’s temperature regulation, keeping it cool through perspiration? KInda works out perfect seeing we are 3 weeks into an aussie summer.

Here are some more facts about why water is ESSENTIAL in your everyday body's function:
1. Water is a major component of our blood which carries nutrients and oxygen to and from all cells.
2. Water flushes out toxins and wastes.
3. Water provides a moist environment for all body tissues.
4. Water is the major component of saliva and mucous which lubricates the membranes that line our digestive system beginning with the mouth.
5. Water cushions joints and protects tissues and organs like the brain from shock and damage.
6. Water helps maintain a healthy weight.
So really I am doing my body a great deal of good with just increasing my water intake. And with summer here, the best way for me to drink my required 2 litres per day and keep hydrated is by carrying a water bottle with me. I know we're not, all the same, and have different requirements or personal preferences when it comes to drinking water. So I have put together my top 3 choices.
I just LOVE the look of the water bottle! Not only does it look cute, the PureFree Amico is made from premium borosilicate glass, and comes with a silicon sleeve cover that delivers greater protection as your Amico accompanies you on your daily travels.
Why has PureFree made my list? Because water in glass tastes SO MUCH better!! It maintains the temperature much more effectively than plastic. Glass is BPA free, non-permeable and won’t absorb color or odor. BPA free. Therefore can be washed and used repeatedly saving money over time (and the environment).
Available in a range of colours as individual as you are, free from any plastics-chemicals, the Amico will freshen up your life and your style.
Delivery is FREE for orders of two or more, and $5 nationwide for orders of one bottle. Buy one for yourself and one for a friend – they make the perfect gift!
Looking for a little bit extra when it comes to your water bottle? Why not try Crystal-infused water! Did you know that when pure water is infused with crystal vibrations, it is then charged with the healing properties of the stone?
These water bottles are more than just something pretty to carry around with you, KIKIZEN can be used to promote healing and wellness in a simple yet effective way of using the energy of crystals and gemstones.
These supercharged water bottles, use the 'indirect method' to infuse your water with crystals i.e. the crystals reside in a special chamber at the bottom of the glass bottle. This allows you to change up your stones depending on your vibe so you can totally match your what energy your needing with their supplementary crystals.

Is a steel water bottle more your thing?
Then I recommend the HDX MIX EXPLORER INSULATED BOTTLE.
They have created a bottle that will stand the test of time. It holds almost half your daily required intake of water (750mls) and has vacuum sealed insulated walls. Why is this important? It keeps water cool for 12 hours or any other liquids hot for 6 hours. Plus this water bottle has a convenient handle.
Another great reason to choose HDX MIX they donated back to their Planet Partners.

I know some days I am going to find it hard to keep to my 2 litres of water a day. And if you too find it hard to increase your water consumption, try:
1. Try adding lemon slices or cucumbers to your water (or any slices of your favourite fruit/veg)
2. Use a straw. Some people find it easier to drink more water this way
3. Try the HDX Hydration Mix, it delivers healthy hydration with a balanced blend of essential electrolytes, vitamins, amino acids and minerals all working in harmony to provide better hydration and faster recovery for every level of activity.
4. Another great option is to try carbonated water.n a 2014 study on water consumption found that people who sometimes drank plain carbonated water drank 43% more water throughout the day.
So the perfect excuse to get a sodastream.
