I love having a variety of drinks - water is wonderful but there is so much flavor potential to it. So throughout the day I change things up. I always start the day off with a glass of plain water but then start to add different things to it or the type of water. This has also proven useful for tracking just where I am at with drinking water throughout the day, something that is important in Arizona no matter the season.

Crafting flavored lemonades at home has also helped me avoid artificial flavors and dyes that I grew up with. One of my favorites that I drank for years is still widely available and I think about it each time I am out and about. Due to the artificial dyes, I know it’s best to avoid it altogether.
