It’s getting hot out there, y’all! Summer weather is here! Summer is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s full of sunshine, vacations, cookouts, and my birthday. :) But, due to the intense heat - it is SO important to stay hydrated during this time. Why is proper hydration so important?

There are so many options out there - colors, straws, sizes, material (plastic, aluminum, glass, etc). Find this one here. Or try this, this, or this.

This is a great place to get creative and try different combinations and ideas. For some inspiration, try these ideas:
Be creative and have fun with your flavor combinations! What are some of your favorite ways to stay hydrated and flavor your water?
