Happy Day After Thanksgiving, Friends!
How was your holiday? Mine was a delicious, love-filled feast! As I mentioned here, Thanksgiving is my ultimate favorite holiday. I felt grateful to be surrounded my friends and family in a place I adore. My cornbread pudding and sweet potato casserole were big hits, as well – SCORE! Today is all about relaxing, leftovers, and walks around town with my crew. The chilly, sunny weather is refreshing as I don’t get much of it down south. BRR.
Speaking of cold weather, on to an important wicked healthy topic!
As temperatures drop, so does our tendency to drink fresh water. We crave warm drinks like tea, hot chocolate, and all those specialty drinks Starbucks markets us nonstop. 
However, it’s so important to stay hydrated year round, not just in those warm summer months!
So, I am coining the last month of 2016…
DRINK H2O DECEMBER!
Everyone likes, a challenge, right? So..
For the month of December, I am challenging you to drink the recommended amount of water each day.
