10 Summer Detox Waters

We all know how much water we’re supposed to drink in a day, but let’s face it, water can be so bland and boring. Since our bodies are about 60 percent water, we need to maintain water levels to function. Walking around in a dehydrated state can make us feel lethargic, irritated, and headachy. So how do we get water in our bodies when we just don’t feel like downing the plain stuff? The answer is simple! You've probably noticed some at hotels, spas etc that their water is infused with fragrant herbs, vibrant fruits, and fresh veggies. Not only do these add-ins taste fantastic, they might just have something that can be beneficial to your body. Give any of these 10 detox waters a try and I guarantee your body will thank you.

1.Cucumber, Lemon and Mint

Cucumbers, lemon, and mint are a classic water combo, the lemon and mint may help digestion and the cucumber rehydrates along with having anti-inflammatory properties.

2. Citrus and Cucumber

You will love this tasty citrus, cucumber, ginger, and mint water. It helps with bloating, detoxifying the kidneys, and promoting clear skin!


3. Clear Skin Detox

This combo of lemons, strawberries, apple, mint, and cinnamon sticks not only tastes great, it also gives you a glowing complexion and helps with acne.

4. Warm Lemon Water

Down a glass of warm water with lemons and your body will benefit from a liver detox.

Add many fresh strawberries to your water and get a dose of vitamin C.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
