Martha Stewart on her show said that in order to drink her full 8 cups of water a day, she fills up a pitcher of water with fruits (limes, lemons, blood oranges) or veggies (cucumbers) and keeps it at her desk all day and makes sure to drink all of it.
So, i made a pitcher of water with limes and lemons and drank CONSIDERABLY more water that i usually do.
I offered my parents some “SPA” water and my mom loved it and i think my dad thought i said “soothing” water instead of “spa” water because he said it didn’t help him to feel more soothed, but more angry.
And now we’ve kept that pitcher around and have tried different fruit combos like kiwi, cucumber, lemons and keep refilling and refilling and reusing those same bunch of fruits for a few days at a time….hehe. My dad’s always to my mom, “here, have some spa/soothing water.” (he interchanges those two words from time to time).
So, moral of my pointless story….Drink your water! especially in this heat and supposedly, 80% of headaches are due to dehydration. I totally agree with this! when i have a slight headache/discomfort, I chug water down and feel 50 times better.

we need to bring tons of water tomorrow!!!
love the martha reference. i love her.
hmm…that’s a good idea!
good point. sounds like a good idea as well. i shall try it. last summer and the summer before, i spent it in blistering heat/intense humidity, so i was forced to drink like 8 quarts of water a day. i think i peed at least fifteen times a day. THAT’S drinking a lot of water. my pee would be crystal clear… almost re-drinkable.
oh ho ho ho SMAAART !
i loves my h20.
ESP WITH MY SIGG BOTTLE !
good advise, sister! we love that water at home. everyone’s always telling me, ”joyce, go get me some more spa water.”
