Happy Hydrating

Katie here...

Who read Regan's Keeping it Real post about drinking more water? I'm in for the #hydrate28 challenge and so far, it's going pretty well - with the exception of frequent potty stops. In the spirit of the challenge, I thought I'd give you some tips on how to meet your 3L (100 oz) daily goal.

Pick a bottle and know how many you need to drink to meet your goal. I've got a 1 L bkr bottle and a 26 oz Vega bottle. So I'm either drinking 3 bkrs or 4 Vegas to get to 100 oz.

Get an app on your phone to track as you drink. Here are two free options that I've experimented with and work pretty well. 

Switch it Up...there are lots of options when it comes to "water." The real thing always does the trick, but add some drinking diversity with sparkling water. I like La Croix in grapefruit or lime.

And we also buy big bottles of Pellegrino at Costco.

We would love to know who has joined the #hydrate28 challenge, so feel free to post on the C&C Facebook page with any tips you might have. Also, use #hydrate28 to tag your photos on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. We are all in this together! 

Happy hydrating!

Products We Love: Bkr Got Bigger

Almost two years ago we blogged about our favorite water bottles - bkr bottles. For those of you that missed that post, let me give you the Reader's Digest recap. Glass bottle, silicone sleeve, and environmentally and dishwasher safe. 

The original bottle is 500 ML (that's 32 oz) and fits perfect in your cup holder. But bkr just got bigger. They recently announced a 1L bottle for those of us hat like to stay super hydrated. While it doesn't come in as many colors as the smaller bottle (yet), there are still five to choose from. I'm thinking the sugar might be in my future.

And it's not just C & C that loves bkr bottles. The celebs do too...if you're into that kind of thing.

Bottle it Up

We all know drinking water is crucial to our health. Whether or not we actually drink enough water each day is another story. I am constantly striving to be a better water drinker, and there is nothing that helps me more than a fun water bottle.

Thanks to barre3 I discovered my newest, favorite bottle, bkr bottles. Pronounced "beaker" (like what you used in chemistry class), bkr bottles are made of glass, the sleeve and gasket are silicone and the cap is made of food-grade, recyclable polypropylene. Not only are they environmentally friendly, but they are super bright and fun. I am currently carrying the bright pink "candy" bkr bottle.

bkr bottles are $28 and be purchased online, or if you live in Portland they are available at all three barre3 studios.
