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.

    Good old water! Cold. With ice or fresh out of the refrigerator in an old fashioned metal glass…makes everything colder.

    I’m a big water drinker myself, but we always have the classic Crystal Light lemonade on hand. I get tired of plain water all the time, too, so I like to have something else on hand to mix it up.

    Since I’m trying to drop a few pounds, I’ve had to leave my sweet tea alone. I’ve switched to water and when I just can’t take more water, I add a twist of lemon. Perfect.

    I love squeezing fresh lime or lemon into a glass w/ a bit of sugar or sweetener and top it off w/ club soda instead of water. Very refreshing!

    I love the Crystal Light raspberry lemonade, as well. It is really good! I enjoy lemonade in the summer! And I also love iced tea, but I try not to drink it that much, since my favorite happens to be sweet tea. Thanks for hosting a wonderful giveaway. Love & blessings from NC!

    I love the Crystal Light Peach Tea mix. My cousin introduced me to it about a year ago. I love anything peachy.

    Mostly ice water, but an occasional Mt. Dew hits the spot.

    Summertime..summertime…nothing like sweet iced tea for us in the south!!! And for some refreshing changes I like the Crystal Light Peach tea. I LOVE sittin’ on the porch with a cold glass of iced tea and a good book to relax after a long day…although I will have to say, I don’t get to do that often enough!!
