    Naturally Flavored Water 3 Ways

    Drinks

    Spring has officially sprung! These Naturally Flavored Water recipes slay the beverage game and are perfect for your blooming brunch. They embody the fresh and fun colors of spring. 

    The recipes we’re featuring today are fresh, simple, and zesty. Some of the ingredients we’re using include grapefruit, blackberries, sage, cucumber, rosemary, and more. The subtle flavors in naturally flavored water are a great way to switch things up, and get excited about drinking more water. 

    And speaking about drinking more water, we just did an article on 10 Easy Ways to Drink More Water. Many clients we work with struggle to meet the recommended amount of water for their needs for a wide variety of reasons. In this article, we offer some of our most effective hydration tips, and one of them include doing exactly what we are doing for these recipes…naturally infusing your water! Check it out for more ideas on ways to increase your water intake. 

    Now, let’s get started on these beauties. Add the ingredients for each flavored water to a one quart jar or container. The trick to releasing more flavor is to squeeze ingredients like grapefruit and lime into the jar first and then add them in. For ingredients like blackberries, you can muddle with a spoon in the jar or puncture with a fork to release color and flavor. Once all your ingredients are in, pour in the water, and refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor. You’re all done! 

    Are you giving these a try? Let us know how they come out for you. Also let us know in the comments below what your favorite water infusions are!

    Last month when I asked who you wanted us to inter Last month when I asked who you wanted us to interview for our habits series, 90% of you said Gretchen Rubin. Today your wish comes true. For those not familiar with @gretchenrubin, she is one of today’s most influential and thought-provoking observers of happiness and human nature, especially as it pertains to habits.

    LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Vall LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Valley with 5 acres of land! (Even typing that makes me anxious lolol) All reno updates will be on @bohiohomes. I’ve been wanting a home close by to retreat into nature and considered a few locations but honestly, the racial tension and lack of diversity upstate gave me mixed feelings. I actually went to school in New Paltz (and love it SO MUCH) so I’m not sure why I didn’t consider buying here sooner. I took a trip this summer to go apple picking and was like wait, New Paltz is perfect! It’s welcoming, diverse (thanks to all the city kids and professors) and there’s so many fun things to do!! It’s also just 90 minutes away from the city. 

I’ve officially moved in and will be renovating this a-frame beauty built in the early 70’s. There is SO much work to do. The home has solid bones but needs major updates and I have to condition the land. We even have a cute pond! Very scary and very exciting. Eventually, I may open it up for retreats or for people who want to disconnect from the NYC chaos. For now, it’ll be home. Follow along for renovation updates on @bohiohomes 💕💕
    THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’ THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’s one thing you already do that you can build a habit around?! 

Ps have you been listening to our habits series
