Hi.
You know when you have bad skin, and people are like.. 'drink water', and you just ignore them? Yeah, me! Until 4 weeks ago.
So, I broke out, mainly because of summer, and oil and my oily + acne prone skin. And I just thought, ok, let me drink water. Before, I probably used to drink 1-2 small cups a day whenever I felt thirsty.
I decided to attempt to drink 2 litres a day, which I think is what is recommended. Something that helped was my super cool, awesome hydrate m8 bottle. I will insert a very bad image of it here:

I am really going to hate the day I forget this at home, but so far, so good. I highly recommend them. I am a major coffee fiend and I do not ever wish not to be, so I still drink coffee, and fizzy drinks & whatnot, so the only thing I've changed is my intake in water. So I'll now explain to you what I have noticed in the past 4 weeks.
Week 1 - I got sick. Real sick, by day 2. I got the worst cold of life, along with blocked ears and a lost voice & whatnot. I call this bad timing. But I carried on - not much was noticed by week 1.
I only noticed a difference in the past week (so the fourth week).
- MY DARK CIRCLES ARE NON EXISTENT. I literally woke up this morning, and I thought i had make up under my eyes. I didn't have major dark circles before but I can definitely notice a difference!
- Overall skin - it's so smooth!! I don't have any active acne, just a few marks, & I'm praying it's not just a good month and it's actually my water intake. I wish I took a bare faced picture before & now but unfortunately, I didn't.
- I'm not as tired anymore. I have 6-7 hours of sleep and I've noticed my tendency to nap throughout the day has decreased.
- My headaches have fundamentally decreased. I usually used to get mild to moderate headaches by the end of a day due to tiredness & working too hard (lol). But this hardly ever happens anymore.
- I don't get as hungry anymore. I noticed I haven't been extremely 'hungry' unless I actually don't eat..
- I pee about 15 times a day.
Seriously everyone, drink the recommended daily allowance of water.
