Drinking lots of water = really soft skin??
Has anyone else noticed that their skin feels softer when they drink a lot of water? I just got back from the gym and my hands feel like I put lotion on them, but I didn't. I haven't even jumped in the shower yet! So it must be natural. It must be because I'm drinking more water lately... I have noticed the softer skin…

Soooo sooo thirsty, and it's not because of Tam's post..
Yesterday, I sucked down a gallon and a quart of water. Half a gallon of it was plain water, the rest I dillute 50% with Propel. (And I drank about 20 oz. during the night) Today, I got up and have already guzzled a half gallon, and I am still thirsty. I can't drink anymore, because my stomach is so full my pants feel…

Project: Grocery List

We learn and move on, I guess? Whatever, I'm still cranky.
