These are A Few of My Favorite Things

One of my favorite things about being a blog follower is how the experience goes from just following along to eventually feeling like you are taking advice from a friend. As a result of my love for blogs, I have purchased clothes, tried hair styles, decorated mantles, read books, organized my office, discovered health tricks, and become inspired in countless ways! Reading about a solution that an everyday person, just like me, finds enriching to their lives has been really helpful – so here on HALF I thought I would get in on the info sharing action and include a weekly favorites post!  Each week I will share one of my favorites things! The topic areas will range from favorite clothes to organizing solutions to health tricks. Really anything that I feel we just can’t live without – or would really not want to – at the Bessette home and maybe you can find something you love too!

 

Today’s item we are talking about is not only a favorite of mine….but a little teeny bit of a PSA: Drink Water! I am a beverage gal. When driving in the summer heat, windows down, hair up – there is nothing better than a fresh ice tea with extra ice! As the snow falls down and I am on my couch in my cozy PJs a warm cup of Starbucks is a must! As you gather with family and friends around a lovely dinner – toasting with a glass Cab is about the best! And anyone who knows me knows that a margarita is ALWAYS a good idea! I love to cheers with all sorts of beverages, but the truth of the matter is – the best one is water.

 

Over the years I have had seasons of life that I am exceptionally good with my water – a glass by my side – a total of 10 a day. And then there are those times that you have that same one glass of water following you around with barely a dent in it all day long! However there are a few key elements I have found motivates water intake – a cute water bottle, some fresh lemon or cucumber, and having water with you ALL DAY LONG! If its there – most of the time – you will inevitably drink it.

One of my Favorite Ways to Drink Water Summer 2014
The power of water can be found all over the internet, in medical reports, with any good health plan – the evidence is there. For me  though its pretty simple: I have found I just feel better! If I am feeling super anxious or maybe a little edgy and want to snap at someone – taking a breath and big gulp of cold water has the oddest calming effect. When I want to control my calorie intake, want to slim that waist line, hope to fight bloating and bad digestion – water! If I am feeling sick and need to ward it off – or if I am sick and want to get it out…. water. There is absolutely no negative result from taking in your water….besides the whole bathroom break issue (but even that is a sign of health!!). There is no doubt about it – water is the best there is!

Water with Lemon November 2015
As we head into spring and the warmer weather now is the time that I plan to re-dedicate myself to the water cause! And you can too – so grab your cutest water bottle/cup (I recommend a monogram), cut up some fresh lemon, and chug that H2O!

 

Cheers friends!!

 

Thank you for reading and remember to make it a great day!
