My girlfriend finally found a water bottle she likes, and so now she actually stays sorta hydrated. It has been a boon to her health and to mine!

hot girl summer reminders⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🍹
GET OFF UR PHONE ;
don’t waste away ur summer scrolling on ur phone and staring at a screen 24/7. go outside and get some fresh air, don’t waste too much time digitally and live ur life. literally put the phone down 💀. put a time limit on ur phone if u need to but its good to practice discipline and self control so that ur making the most of ur summer time.
GET SOME FRESH AIR AND SUNLIGHT ;
make sure to go for walks and get fresh air. let the sunlight touch ur skin and spend some time outside if u can cuz it’s so good for you. make sure to ground urself in nature and not overstimulate yourself with dopamine. and remember, make sure to wear ur spf to protect ur skin from the sun so u can stay healthy and beautiful.
STAY HYDRATED ;
speaking of healthy and beautiful... this summer is a HOT one so if ur not drinking enough water ur gonna be so super dehydrated so please drink water. put some ice in ur water and refresh urself. you can even put fruits or mint in ur water to give it some flavor.
PROTECT UR PEACE ;
block. don’t hesitate to block anything or anyone that you feel threatens ur peace and make sure that ur protecting ur peace. taking adequate breaks from social media and time away from ur screens and just pampering urself inside and out.
The weather's getting warmer, so here's my seasonal reminder for other folks who have issues staying hydrated (autistics, people on certain meds, people who hate water, whatever):
Jello is, in fact, mostly water. So are a lot of fruits, like melon, cucumber, and berries. Ice chips are also water. If you find it hard to drink enough day to day, try eating your water instead. Every little bit helps!
yall, please drink more water. I’m really bad about it and got my blood drawn and almost passed the fuck out. TWICE. stay hydrated!
Ruminations on Tea and Coffee
Look at the cat mug! LOOK AT IT. So kawaii.
What’s actually in the mug is Japanese instant milk tea, which I love, and tea is on my list of Things I Like, right next to coffee + chocolate/caramel/vanilla. I used to drink coffee ALL THE TIME because the café at my school sold chilled, bottled coffee not unlike the Starbucks ones (only these had eco-friendly wrappers, so how could I not?). However, I realized that my addiction was both expensive and partially drug-related, so I reverted to mildly-caffeinated tea.
Tea is also really good for you, because science says so:
1. It keeps you hydrated. If you like your tea how I like mine (well-steeped but not too much) then maybe water would be better for immediate hydration. But fluid is fluid and it’s better than energy drinks.
2. Antioxidants for days! Antioxidants are healthy plant chemicals, which are good for you, and tea has a buttload of that stuff. But seriously, the herbs found in teas are there for a purpose.
3. It’s a de-stressor. As a college student, it’s so hard to make time for de-stressors. But research paper + two cups of green tea = relaxation and creativity. Case closed.
I’m not saying coffee doesn’t do these things too, because it sorta does depending on your drink. Caffeine is a diuretic though, and those chilled, bottled lovely bits of unicorn milk make you lose water like crazy. Even though they’re so flippin’ good. And expensive.
But tea is now the best thing ever, and if you, Reader, have any tea suggestions, please suggest them at once because I love variety, even in my drinks.
Stay hydrated lol
