How to get yourself to drink more water

Good health is wealth and water is life. I know all these but I must confess, I am not a big water drinker. I rather drink coke tea, cappuccino and juices, and any other drink than water. When I was pregnant with my twins, I drank more water in those 9 months than I drank all my life prior to my pregnancy. I didn’t want to have caffeine in me and I only felt like drinking water, which was so weird but good for our health.

After my pregnancy, I started taking other drinks but it was nothing like how it was before. I swapped some of my caffeine and sugary drinks, for some extra glasses of water, and I have managed to continue doing that. However, I would still like to drink more water. I don’t drink as many glasses of water as I should br drinking, so I need to work on that. I have found a few tricks to help me drink more water. Here are some of them.

 

Get a fancy bottle

Having a fancy water bottle like this Ion8 Leak Proof Slim Water Bottle, means I get to drink more water. It is the right size, very easy to carry around and it looks great too. What is there not to like?

This water bottle also comes in various colours, so you can go for the colour you like. It works with both hot and cold drinks. It also has a soft feel for grip & carry strap, fits any cup holder or kid’s backpack. You can grab it on Amazon for £9.99 only.

 

Always have water with you

A good way of ensuring you drink the right amount of water everyday is to always have water with you, that way you will find yourself drinking more water unconsciously.

Another great water bottle to try is this BRITA Fill and Go Vital Water Filter Bottle BPA Free Includes 1 Microdisc Lasting 150 Litres, Blue, 600 ml.

If you struggle to drink water when out and about, this Brita Fill and Go will help you drink more water. It transforms tap water into great tasting, freshly filtered BRITA water. This bottle is so handy to have around especially when travelling. I will be taking this bottle with me on my next trip.

You can grab this now on Amazon for £11.08. The original RRP is £23.94, so hurry while the offer is still on.

 

Stay active

Being active would dehydrate you, which means you would need more drinks. So ensure you stay active and fit to get you drinking. It is super easy to stay active. Go for a walk instead of catching the bus, or get off the bus a few stops before you stop, so you can get your steps in. You can also exercise from home if that suits you more. There are loads of fitness videos available on line, that would surely get you gasping for breath.

 

How do you ensure you take the right amount of water everyday? Please share your secrets.

Getting your Home Spring Ready

Winter is well and truly behind us now, and it is time to usher in the spring season. Which means it is time to tuck the chunky blankets away and bring on the light and airy decor. I am super excited, spring is such a beautiful season. It usually feels like a breath of fresh air after months of the chilly weather. And our winter this year started off really cold and ended up even colder. Special thanks to the Beast from the East and Storm Emma.

In the spring season, I am usually in the mood to do some decluttering and proper spring cleaning. There is just something about the longer days that makes me feel I can take on a lot more. I have been very busy these last few weeks, thinking of ways to make my home brighter for spring, and I have come up with these ideas.

 

Move furniture around

Moving furniture around is a quick easy of way of changing the look of a room. Once I spring clean our house, I get rid of anything we won’t be needing. Once that bit is done, I adjust some of the furniture that needs adjusting to suit the season. And it works every time. The room is instantly brightened up once these tasks are completed. You should try it.

 

Get storage furniture

I am a huge fan of any furniture that stores stuff. They are so handy to have around the house. I wish all furniture could store stuff. It would make my living a lot easier. I recently came across some amazing furniture desks on Lionshome and I wish I could grab them all. Here are 2 furniture desks on Lionshome website I really like.

I love how modern both desks are, especially the Sharpley Ladder Writing Desk. It would look amazing in my living room. And it would store our books neatly too.

 

Invite Nature In

I love to have flowers around the house especially in the spring/summer months. I suffer from Hayfever in the summer, so I am unable to spend as much time outdoors as I would want to. Having flowers in my living space is my way of inviting nature in and staying safe. Besides, pretty flowers are easy on the eyes and they smell fab.

Get Spring Candles

If you know me well enough, you would know how much I love my candles and diffusers. The smell of sweet-smelling candles and diffusers makes my house feel even more like a home. I have run out of my autumn/winter candles, so I will be stocking up on some spring/summer candles in the next few days. The smell of a fresh scent in my home lifts my mood. I love having different candles in each room, so I can get to sniff in different scents.

 

How are you getting your home ready for spring this year. Please share your interior decor ideas with us in the comments section below.

What I Got on Mother’s Day

The title of this post should be some of the things I got on Mother’s Day but I think – what I got on Mother’s Day sounds better.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and mothers to be reading this. Being a parent comes with so much responsibility and you never really know what you are getting into until you become a parent. It is the hardest job in the world, without a doubt. But it is also the most rewarding job ever, and I won’t trade being a mother for anything.

It has been a beautiful day. My kids woke with up with songs and presents. I felt super special. I also got a full body massage today at Macdonald Hotel, thanks to the fam. It was just what I needed. I didn’t want the massage to end. But the beauty of the massage ending was that I got to spend some time in the Relaxation Room. It felt so serene in there.

Still on the gifts I received for Mother’s Day, I was super excited to receive this Julia Hollywood Mirror in White Gloss from hollywoodmirrors.co.uk. This makeup vanity mirror with lights is definitely going to transform my dressing area. It is such an amazing beauty. It features 10 cool white led light bulbs and a chic white gloss finish. I am so in love with it.

 

Wines from Aldi

I was also lucky enough to receive some bottles of wine from Aldi. These bottles of wine are perfect for Mother’s Day celebrations. I love all three and I am happy to say I would be popping one tonight. Can you guess which one?
