💧 Mini Habit: Boost Your Sips Without Thinking
Want to drink more water without trying so hard?
Try this:
📱 Set a recurring phone alarm labeled “sip & stretch.”
Every 2–3 hours, take 5 deep breaths, a long drink, and a 30-second stretch.
It’s simple. But it works.
🧪 Trend Check + Myth Watch: Chlorophyll Drops
They’re everywhere on TikTok — glowing skin, boosted energy, detox magic? Let’s break it down.
Trend:
Liquid chlorophyll can have some antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects — but not to the level social media claims. There’s no real evidence it detoxes your body or clears acne.
Myth:
It replaces veggies, fiber, or water. Nope. It’s not a miracle — just a trendy supplement.
📌 Verdict: Harmless if taken in moderation. Try it if it feels fun — but hydration and a good diet go way further.

With love & good sips,
