Hello readers,  My name is Christianne Lessard, I am 25 years old and I want to welcome you to this blog. I'm hoping you are excited to join me in this new journey I am about to embark on. Does anyone here feel like they don't drink enough water in a day? I know I sure don't! It's not that I hate drinking water I just never think of doing it throughout the day often enough.

My ultimate goal is to physically feel better in my everyday life and start living a healthier lifestyle. I hope this project will encourage me to drink more water and to see if this can stick with me for the long run! Are you all ready to follow me on this water journey?
