"Retreat Yourself"
We are water!
Did you know the body is actually made up of about 60 - 70% water! We all know we “should drink more water” but for some reason, we aren’t too good at doing it. Instead, we turn to carbonated, sugary drinks. Why? One word: Flavour.
The temperatures are getting warmer now and it’s even more important to keep hydrated so why not try some our fruit infused water recipes and turn boring glasses of water into something natural, healthy, and delicious!
