How do you stay hydrated? Crystal Light Giveaway Post #1

This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Crystal Light.

BlogHer Reviewer

For the next few weeks, I’m participating in a campaign with BlogHer and Crystal Light and you’ll be hearing from me several times on staying hydrated in the summer.

I hope you’ll follow along for some bloggy fun and a chance to win $100.

Here in the South, it’s really difficult sometimes to stay hydrated and cool in the summer.  So, how do we beat the heat and stay hydrated and fresh?

I do try to drink a lot of water, but then again, I get tired of water.  And I actually sometimes forget that I need to keep water handy all the time.  Anyone else?  Earlier this year, I made the decision to not keep a lot of soda at home.  As much as I love it, I know it’s not that great for me, so the Diet Dr. Pepper that I used to bring home is staying at the store now and I only drink them occasionally. {Yes, I sometimes miss them very much!}

So, what do we do for some low-calorie beverages in the summer?  I have turned to Crystal Light over and over during these hot summer months and have for years.  I have Raspberry Lemonade in my cupboard right now and it is one of my favorite beverages to serve up with ice and enjoy during the dog days of summer.

How about you? What are you drinking at home to beat the heat and stay hydrated?

Be sure to check out all the other blogger’s pages too for 6 other opportunities to win $100, as well as $1,000 in the sweepstakes on the BlogHer exclusive offers page. You can find the official rules here and a link to Crystal Light here.

    I try to keep lots of water in the frig in reusable bottles so the kids can have plenty of water while they play outside.

    I keep ice cold water in a pitcher on the kitchen counter, and have sliced lemons in it. Having it front and center makes it so readily available for all of us to stay hydrated all day long.

    I am drinking Crystal Light, the sunshine flavor, right now and I absolutely love it! Normally, I am a diet coke fanatic because I like the fizz but I have found that CL actually does a much better job at keeping you hydrated. It is 103 today in Florida so we definately have to be careful here not to get dehydrated. So to answer your question, Crystal Light is how I plan to stay hydrated this summer definately. TY for the giveaway!

    I try to drink mostly water, because it’s good for your body and skin, and keeps you hydrated. I do sip the occasional diet Coke with dinner, though. And when I want something both refreshing ~and~ tasty, I mix in some Skin Essentials Pomegranate Lemonade Crystal Light with my water. That’s my current favorite flavor.

    I’m not a fan of plain water but I usually have a gallon pitcher in my refrigerator that has a 1/2 Crystal Light Iced Tea and 1/2 Crystal Light Lemonade mix…I usually put that into a water bottle to take to work with me in the morning.

    I use plain ol water although I hear Lemonade is supposed to be good for people who create kidney stones(and tea is a no no).

    Being from the South also, I grew up drinking sweet tea..My granny made THE best and I learned how to make it from her…These days though, I pretty much drink WATER all of the time..prefer lemon in it…..I think nothing can refresh you and quench your thirst the way good ‘ole H2O can lol

    thank you for the chance to win!

    We keep reusable bottles with us and drink packets around all the time to use drinking fountains when we’re out!

    Having pitchers of iced tea and water with lemon on hand is our favorite way to keep hydrated. We also have reusable bottles for when we are on the go. In Arizona it is a must! 🙂 Thanks
