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.

    As a Southern Girl, I love some sweet tea mixed with Lemonaid Crystal Light! Arnold P. knew how to make a good drink 😉

    We increase our water intake in the heat of summer and spend a lot of time at the rec pool or the lake.

    I do not buy pop in our house so water is pretty much what we always drink. I do buy the Crystal Light Peach Tea and we love it…in fact I have a pitcher of it in the fridge now!

    My city has very tasty tap water. So I guzzle that down daily but mix it up with a little sweet tea and the flavored drinks that CL offers. Lemonade: the taste of summer.

    We’ve had an awesome spring and summer here in Alaska, so we’ve had some pretty warm weather. I’ve been drinking lots of water and in the evenings a gin and tonic or margarita has really hit the spot!

    I drink a lot of water, I also make a lot of iced tea including Crystal light’s ice tea blend. It’s a great way to hydrate and pick beverages that are low in sugar and calories!

    Crystal Light Peach Tea! Love love LOVE it! I usually drink plenty of water anyway, but when I need a thirst quencher AND something cool and delicious, I reach for Crystal Light Peach Tea.

    I love Crystal Light, I drink their Iced Tea with lemon all the time, and have for years. Love their lemonade, too, for a change during the summer. It’s one of my stock-up items, I watch for coupons for it go on sale, then buy 6-10 packages at a time. I love the little packets to go in bottled water, too, I use that when I travel.

    I have a 24 oz tervis tumbler that I fill with water every time I leave the house. I try to drink the whole thing before i get home, no matter how many errands I have to run. The Crystal Light raspberry lemonade looks great, though, so I might jazz things up with that when the dog days hit!

    I like water best, but the kids love to add the crystal light packets to their water bottles.

    I carry my water bottle with me at all times- or I at least have one stashed in the car. Eating lots of water filled fruits and veggies helps too!

    Lots and lots of water. I mix it up with a little crystla light or iced tea but the only thing that helps is water.
