Even thought I know that water is essential to life<\/strong>, that it is key to my health<\/strong>, that it reduces cravings<\/strong>, and that it is a weight loss tool like no other; even though I know that it the most healing, mineral filled elixir ever \u2013 the one that comes straight out of your faucet \u2013 I find it kind of dull and uninspired!\u00a0 I do, I confess.\u00a0 A glass of plain water just doesn’t do it for me!!! And no, I’m not drinking enough!!!<\/p>\n

What to do?\u00a0 Dig into the is Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> vault of ‘jazzy water recipes’ and recommit to my health and 8 glasses each day!<\/p>\n

Lemons, limes, grapefruits, oranges \u2026 oh my!<\/strong> Serve up a large iced-pitcher of water, toss in some sliced-up citrus with a twig or two of fresh mint! And wowzer, you\u2019ve just created an amazingly beautiful, fragrant and festive mineral water.<\/p>\n

Fizzle Me Orange!<\/strong> Crack up a bottle of sparkling water a.k.a. seltzer or club soda, and mix in 2 ounces of orange juice, or any of your favorite citrus juices. Add more or less to taste.<\/p>\n

Berry Mash-Up!<\/strong> Mash up blueberries or raspberries (or both) and add sparkling water. And, oh yes, if you want to add a splash of red wine to your dinner water, feel free! Am I reading your mind???<\/p>\n

Sophisticated Savory!<\/strong> Grab a handful of fresh herbs from your herb garden! Infuse your water with rosemary, parsley, mint \u2026 go herb crazy!<\/p>\n

Cucumber Fresh!<\/strong> Slice a half a cucumber nice and thin and add it to your iced water. It\u2019s one of my all-time water favs \u2026 so cleansing, satisfying and spa-like!<\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing!<\/em><\/p>\n
