How to keep up with daily water intake

What's the daily amount of water an average person should have? They say around 3L of water which may seem like a lot, but if you substitute water for all that sugary pop and juice, I'm sure you'll get there. Trust me, I'm trying to do the same! & yes, you WILL go pee a lot!

So I wanted to look up and see what the actual water intake is supposed to be. I've always heard "minimum 8 glasses of water a day" so if your glass is atleast a cup (250mL) then you're at 2L which isn't that bad. When I last checked my Body Composition and Total Body Water, I was at 50% "hydration" and the average for a female is 45-60%.

For my weight of ~150lbs, I should be at 2.92L of water a day (you can check yours here). I have this cute mason jar mug I bought at Walmart and it's insulated to keep my water cold, because who likes room temperature water? Actually, this girl at work ONLY drinks warm water, so I guess some people do. But I don't! It's 20oz and I try to refill this about 3 times a day. However, I should be drinking more and 100oz is what I need, so I have to bump up that 3 refills to 5 full mugs of water!

Only thing is that I simply refill when it's empty and I don't remember how many times I actually refilled throughout the day. So I am starting a "sticky" schedule. I have 5 markings on my mug and each time I refill, I will move the sticky up until I have reached my daily intake :)

I have also started drinking lemon/lime tea in the morning with raw (creamed) honey instead of sugar, and Apple Cider Vinegar for it's health benefits. Then in the evening, I have atleast one cup of green tea plain. So that's 2 glasses added in addition to my work day!

Any tips/tricks you would like to share on how you keep yourself hydrated and drink more water, comment! :)

Fix your Instagram Caption Spacing

**This post is the UPDATED version of my previously popular post on " How to Create a Line Break in your Instagram Caption " which sadly doesn't apply anymore :(** ... As you know things update all the time so you have to switch up your method. I've had to play around with the caption since updating to version 7 of Instagram (due to supporting iPhone 6s and 6s+) This is all you REALLY need to know : YOU NEED TO ADD AN EMOJI IN THE SPACE BETWEEN YOUR PARAGRAPHS IN YOUR INSTAGRAM CAPTION One more VERY important note : **You have to make sure you have NO SPACES after each paragraph upon removing the punctuation (or else it won't work) Here are some tips you need to know when creating a linebreak (space) in your Instagram caption:

2022 Outlook — Curls, Skincare and Wellness

I thought I'd create a post since reviving my blog (instead of the very old 2015 post I had chilling as my "featured post" lol. So here I am, creating a post to get the ball going and hopefully get some accountability going! For the last year I stuck to journaling and keeping most of my thoughts to myself (or with close family and friends), however I really wanted to take the leap of getting back into blogging and vlogging! I'm super excited and hope you'll rock with me. Here's the content lineup: Curly Hair (because of course, it's consumed my life for the last 7 years 🤫) Skincare (because a girl still has dry skin and acne, and I doubt that will go anywhere 😂) Wellness (because I've always been the "athletic girl" and overall health is SO IMPORTANT) If you're here for all of that, then stick around and stay posted for more :)
