1. Only drink water from a BIG water bottle!
This has been a game changer for me. Trying to get in enough water every day by drinking 8 glasses, or smaller water bottles just never worked for me. I would drink one, and keep it with me and try to sip on it throughout the day, but then if it ran out, I never found the time to go refill it.
I highly recommend against drinking water from disposable plastic bottles because they are usually not very high quality water, and they also contribute to plastic waste!
Instead, I very much recommend investing in a couple of really good quality reusable water bottles that will stand the test of time!
These are my absolute favorites that I have used for years…
~ This Camelback bottle is easy to drink from and leak proof, making this ideal for taking the car or tossing in my bag. I personally love Camelbak because they have a lifetime guarantee on their water bottles, so I know that the money I spend won’t ever get wasted if something breaks!
~ The Camelback Chute Mag water bottle will give you more of a simple design and doesn’t require a straw, but is still amazingly leak proof!
~ The Camelbak Eddy Glass Water Bottle is great if you’d prefer glass. Although Camelbak has high standards when it comes to the chemicals they use in their plastic, you can avoid plastic altogether with this pick.
~ This Nalgene Titan Narrow Mouth water bottle is perfect for drinking while on the go because of it’s design that won’t spill easily even if you’re moving!
~ Or this Wide Mouth Nalgene water bottle is as simple as you can get, and still with fantastic quality that will literally last for years!
2. Keep your water bottle with you everywhere you go!
This is a must, and one of the reasons why I recommend having more than one water bottle. It’s easy to forget your water when you are rushing out the door with kids and shoes and bags in tow.
However, if you keep a water bottle in your car, or at work then you’ll still be able to ensure you get your water in that day even if you forget one bottle at home!
