We know water is good for us, but with soda, juice, coffee, tea, energy drinks, and other drinks so readily available, it's hard to make the decision to choose water.

Water keeps your skin looking fresh and fantastic 

If your skin looks tired and unhealthy, so do you. Staying properly hydrated removes all the toxins that build up in you skin, and helps prevent it from drying out. If you have the opposite problem; puffy bloated skin, lack of water is likely your problem too. When skin doesn't get water, it retains what it already had, leaving your skin cells full, puffy, and not too attractive. If you want to look beautiful, you should keep yourself hydrated

It's inexpensive 

Sure, if you buy bottled water, it's about as expensive as soda, juice, and coffee. However, studies have shown that tap water is usually as clean and safe as bottled water, and costs a whole lot less. If you have a problem with the taste of your tap water, buy a filtering pitcher or one that attaches to the faucet. It still costs a lot less than other beverages.

It's heart healthy! 

When you're properly hydrated, your blood is thinner and easier to pump. This means your heart has to do less work and ultimately lasts longer. Studies have shown that people who drink plenty of water have fewer heart problems.

Water prevents toxic build up 

who wants to be toxic?

Sure, it sound's like something from a bathroom cleaner commercial, but you have toxins in your cells too. Some come from the environment and others you produce yourself. Either way, they're in your body and you need to get rid of them. Just like you use water to flush your toilet; your body uses water to flush out toxins. Getting rid of this waste helps you function more effectively and feel better.

SUGAR FREE! 

While fruit juices may contain many nutrients, they also contain a whole lot of sugar. This is especially true for many bottled juices from the grocery store. This sudden burst of sugar triggers your insulin response and makes you tired and sluggish. It also helps to convert that sugar to fats faster. Sugary sodas will produce the same reaction and they usually contain no nutrients at all

Caffeine Free too! 

Caffeine is a diuretic. So why water? Why not drink diet soda or coffee all day? These drinks contain caffeine, which actually causes you to lose water throughout the day. You retain some of the water content of the beverages, but not as much as when you drink pure water. You can try decaffeinated beverages, but the best way to use the water you drink is to get it pure and clean, with no chemicals added.

Need a boost of energy to get through your day? 

skip the Red Bull and grab a glass of water

Think you can't get through the day without your morning caffeine boost? Well water can give you energy as well. Your body is made up mostly of water. It loses it throughout the day, so you have to replace it for your body to work efficiently; particularly the heart and digestive tract. As mentioned earlier, water helps your body work better by getting rid of excess waste. The more efficiently your whole body is works, the better you'll feel and the more energy you'll have. Maybe enough energy to skip that cup of coffee.
So go ahead, skip the vending machine, go to the faucet, and get yourself a nice, refreshing glass of water.

Hello world!  I mean, hi there my name is Loretta and I'm new at this Squidoo lens creation so go easy on me.  I've been working from home for the past 7 years now and I love every minute of it.  I honestly don't think I could go back to being an in office, stressed out, underpaid person.  Working casually as an independent contractor from the comfort of my own office, starbucks, or wherever I'd like to work from.

My husband and I have four boys ranging in age from 6 to 10.  You'll probably find the occassional picture of them in my lenses depending on what I'm writing about.  Life is light hearted and fun around our house, if you're ever in the neighborhood stop by and we'll rent some movies and have a few drinks!

I'm also a frequent blogger!  I have a few blogs, and will probably add a few more over the next year.  Blogging is addictive.  

My sites & blogs;

Stitching the Night Away ~ this was my very first website ever!  It may not be a money maker or anything spectacular but I love it all the same.

Craft Blog ~ full of project ideas, pictures, and cross stitch chatter, this is a subdomain of Stitching the Night Away. 

Just Not Martha ~ Perfect is boring.  Being a housewife is not a category I like to fall into.  Women get this sterotype thing even in today's modern world.  I hope that all changes someday.  In the meantime I'll share my views, and my imperfections with you.  If nothing else it might give you a laugh.   

Gadget Girl Accessories ~ this is one of my newest blogs and still going through some growing pains.  It's all about gadgets, blogs, internet  and technology with a few girly things thrown in there. 

Thoughts Out of My Head ~ This was my first blog!  Full of rambling thoughts and daily happenings in our life.
