Fruit infused water, also known as detox water, is the new way to stay hydrated.

Summer being around the corner, we have to make sure we’re staying hydrated more than before..  This is definitely a “practice what you preach” moment because I am that person who only drinks water when I am feeling thirsty. I never could get used to drinking 8 glasses of water a day, although I would have no problem drinking 8 glasses of wine (LOL come on I know I’m not the only one). That being said, fruit infused waters have been a life saver!!

Fruit infused water is not only a tastier & fun way of staying hydrated but it also has health benefits to cleanse & soothe your system, while keeping you hydrated! (HEY! Its a win win situay!) You can also make it with sparkling water if you’re feeling a little extra 😉 (TIP: I find that watermelon and berries go well with sparkling water.)
