Drinks on us <\/p><\/div>\n

Most of us drink water throughout the day right?\u00a0 Sure we might have some coffee or tea at some point as well but water is what makes the day.\u00a0 Or at least it’s always on my mind, making sure I get enough water.<\/p>\n

Taking in enough water keeps my system running smooth and believe it or not, helps keep the bloat at bay.\u00a0 But you want to know a secret?<\/p>\n

By the end of the day I am sometimes very tired of drinking some flipping water.\u00a0 I want something a little different to shake up the day.\u00a0 A squeeze of lemon or a slice of cucumber added to the water for zing<\/em>, doesn’t cut it.\u00a0 I want something more.\u00a0 Something with UMPH! Something that keeps my mouth from being bored.<\/p>\n

I started having evening drinks.\u00a0 I’m not talking about wine or beer or something alcoholic.\u00a0 I just mean something different that I didn’t have all day long.<\/p>\n

I typically have seltzer and when I’m feeling super special, I’ll have some flavored mineral water. Oh I know what you’re thinking, “Ooo look at you living on the edge!”<\/p>\n

Whatever.\u00a0 It’s different<\/em> and that’s my point.<\/p>\n

Seltzer is cheap.\u00a0 I can buy a liter of it for 79 cents at most places, including Whole Foods.\u00a0 Most times I have it straight up but sometimes I have it with some fruit or a splash of juice.<\/p>\n

I realize that this might sound a little dorky but having a special drink at the end of the day really helps me relax and unwind.\u00a0 Everyone usually mentions that in regards to wine or the like, but let’s be honest, that isn’t always an option.\u00a0 Despite the “health benefits” drinking alcohol everyday isn’t really a great idea.\u00a0 So change it up and create your own special end of the day drink!\u00a0 One that is unique, flavorful, special, and also keeping in line with your healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n

It will be something you can look forward to and when you sip it, you know that your day is done and it is time to unwind.\u00a0 I like sipping on seltzer when I start making dinner some evenings.\u00a0 I like making a special drink for Scott and I to have while we discuss our days.\u00a0 I like the idea of having something special at the end of everyday.\u00a0 I am a firm believer in that everyday should be treated like it’s golden while still keeping health in perspective.<\/p>\n

Just like how your body gets used to you reaching for that mug of coffee or tea in the mornings, it will react the same way when you start having a lovely drink in the evenings.\u00a0 You’ll instantly know that it’s time to kick off the shoes, slap on some jammies, and get busy with Mr. Couch.\u00a0 I mean that in a totally literal sense.\u00a0 It’s time to chill before starting all it over again the next day.<\/p>\n

Grab a drink and relax!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
