Small Changes Make Big Differences
Changing what I put into my mouth in order to lose weight has been a constant struggle for me. Going from drinking soda 24/7 to stopping cold turkey was a challenge to say the least. Once you make the commitment though, it’s worth everything. I’m helping my body, my skin and even my teeth. Teeth?? Yes, the soda has done nothing but rot my teeth so drinking water was absolutely necessary for me!
So that’s weight, skin, and teeth so far and I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of how beneficial water is. Water means I’ll live longer because my body will be more healthy.
Drinking Water
No biggie right? You turn the faucet on and bam, you have water. Sadly though, there are many people without clean drinking water. Can you imagine?? In fact, over 900 million around the world don’t have clean drinking water. THAT is sad. YOU can help though. You can help Crystal Light bring clean, safe drinking water to those people in need. Just take the Water Way Challenge! All it costs is your time and you’ll be helping someone somewhere get that clean water! And if you need a bit more of an incentive, how about a chance to win a spa trip for two to Jackson Hole, Wyo. And if you want a chance to win $250 bucks, head on over to Divine Caroline and tell your story.
I encourage you read my other posts about water and Crystal Light, learn the benefits, take the challenge and even make the recipe using Crystal Light! I would love to hear you thoughts and stories about drinking water, playing in water, not having water, etc. Share it with me won’t ya!

I’ve was very happy to participate in this campaign and hope that you truly learned something and it encouraged you to drink more water and help those without clean drinking water. It really is important!
Nothing more important than clean water.
I learned that you lose 10 cups of water each day. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I learned that adults can lose 10 cups of water a day. I never knew it was that much.
900 million people don’t have access to clean water – sad! I can’t imagine not having clean water to give my children.
I learned that you lose up to 10 cups of water a day. Other then that, I knew all the rest. I gave up caffinated drinks when I was pregnant with my daughter (who is now 11 1/2) and have never looked back. It’s the best thing I could have done and i’d do it again, even going through the pepsi withdrawals…LOL.
Congratulations on giving up pop/soda, it’s a great move for you and your body.
Thank you for the great giveaway!

Took the quiz and didn’t do so hot. Didn’t realize we lose so much water each day just through sweating, breathing, etc.

10 cups of water can be lost throughout the day
I took the quiz… I guess I’ll have to study up!
I learned 900 million people do not have access to clean water. That’s sad.
I also gave up soda, but diet soda. It was so full of chemicals and was just so acidic it made my joints hurt. On top of that I was just so addicted to it and it costs quite a lot so I am glad I am done with it. I banned soda from my house, too. It took awhile to get my son and husband off of it but I finally did it!

I learned that without basic hygiene and water, communities cannot address other areas like healthcare, schooling, environmental issues.
Thanks.
It’s hard to immagine not having acess to clean clear water and yet it’s the reality for 900 million. That seems even more unbelievable given how water is waisted!
