I drink enough water to rival a fish, and that is not an exaggeration. Sometimes I actually can’t really believe how much water I throw down the gullet in a given day, but I haven’t spawned gills or fins as of late, so I think I’m in the clear. Believe me or not, but I … More Finding mould in your water bottle? Read this
My mom, sister and I recently had a conversation about water. Riveting stuff, I know. My sister, me, and my dad all drink ridiculous volumes of water.

I caught wind of using vanilla extract as bug repellent a little while ago, and to be honest, I had a hard time believing it.

I will be entirely transparent and admit that while I respect and appreciate moose, I find them a bit terrifying.

I said it in yesterday’s post, and I’ll say it again in today’s; I am not someone who falls victim to seasonal allergies and I am damn grateful I don’t.

I’ve always had a healthy appetite for water. Or perhaps I should say a solid thirst for it.

When it’s above … More Here’s how to drink more water
