Rockstar Beauty Tip #4 - Hydration

Drink your water, drink your water, drink your WATER!  Oh, and did I mention, drink your water?  Hehehe, sorry!  I know I am sounding like your mother, but this one is really important.  I read somewhere that 95% of all illnesses can be prevented by drinking more water.  That's right, most of us are walking the planet...dehydrated.  I have no way of proving that statistic to be correct, but even if it is close, it is a good argument for staying hydrated.

I have to admit, water isn't my favorite beverage of choice, but I make a sincere effort.  Since I incorporated drinking water into my daily routine, I have cut back on most sugary drinks and diet colas, which are not good for you AT ALL.  Hydration can make your complexion more firm and glowing, it can make your boobs perkier...(I know, TMI...but hey, who doesn't want perky boobs?)  It also helps to wash away toxins in your body; visualize taking a shower on the INSIDE.

If you want to get all metaphysical about it, water also symbolizes emotion.  If you are dehydrated your emotional self is stifled, you do not allow your feelings to flow and your expression is limited.  You may find that when you drink more water you will dream more, you may also experience a "healing crisis", meaning that pent up emotion will break through like a burst dam. This can be a painful experience...but healthy all the same. (Ahem) I will now climb down from my spiritual soapbox.

Do yourself a favor, even if it is the ONLY thing you do for yourself.  Drink more water.
