Hi Gorgeous Mamas!
I debated for awhile on writing a post about self-care, which is ironic because I’m sitting here after taking a weekend off of work due to a very strained back. And if I actually had to take a weekend off and ask for help and go to the doctor, you know it’s bad because I am TERRIBLE at accepting or admitting I need help. 🙄
So instead of preaching about self-care which I’m obviously not that great at currently, I thought I’d do a little mini spa-water recipe, which is sort of like a little self care in a cup. 😉 You know how every wellness tip starts with drinking more water? I always roll my eyes at that, but when I started paying attention to how much actual water I consume – not counting coffee and tea – it’s pretty bad! But I’ve been more *intentional* about it, and realized that I much prefer hydrating in the form of fancy iced spa-water. I LOVE having lemons or limes around now so I can make this daily, and the health benefits of drinking lemon juice are 👌👌. For sweetener I’ve tried vanilla creme stevia drops, xylitol, an erythritol mix, or equal (which admittedly is NOT truly healthy for you so even though I prefer the flavor, I only make it this way as a special treat), but it’s even great unsweetened. Just depends how you like it! 🌿
Get creative and find your perfect mix and let me know what you think! Let’s up our hydration, mamas! 💕

Method:
- Mix together all ingredients and Enjoy!
<3 Love,
