At the end of April, I received an invitation to be a part of the Blossom Lounge X BKR water challenge, in which I was provided a beautiful new BKR bottle and was asked to drink at least 5 bottles of water per day throughout the entire month of May. Initially I did not think this challenge would be too difficult for me, since I generally considered myself to be someone who is pretty good about staying hydrated. At first, this did prove to be a bit more difficult than I expected, especially on days when I was busier than normal at work or on the weekends when I was out without my BKR bottle in tow. Once I got into the routine of making sure I had my bottle with me wherever I went, it slowly became easier to make sure I finished all 5 bottles each day. I have definitely noticed the benefits of consuming the proper amount of water each day. I have felt a big improvement in my energy level, especially when comparing days that I drank all 5 bottles compared to days when I did not. Living in New Mexico, my skin gets dry very easily and now that I am consistently drinking the proper amount of water I find that I do not struggle with this as frequently. I have also experienced a significant decrease in the number of headaches I get by the end of the workday, and am certain that being more hydrated has made this possible. I am looking forward to continuing to challenge myself to stay hydrated with my BKR bottle, especially in the warmer months that are ahead. Thanks Blossom for the challenge!

you're so welcome Erin! I know it sounds silly, but having a BKR bottle has been very motivating! Before I would bring a huge Smart Water bottle to work with me every day and struggled to finish it. The BKR bottle is a really easy way to keep track of how much you're drinking and it does help that it's adorable 😉
