Fancy Nancy and spa water

For some reason, I haven’t been drinking enough water lately.  My already dry skin is drier than normal and I’ve been constantly reminding myself to drink more water (when I remember).  

In the midst of thinking about how to be nicer to myself today, I thought “Why not make some spa water?”  It reminded me of a children’s book that my niece used to love and, if you have a daughter under the age of 10, you are probably familiar with:  Fancy Nancy.

The child in the book, Nancy, likes to make everything in her life fancy.  The book follows the adventures of her “fanciness” and her family being taken along for the ride.  

I woke up today feeling a bit blue.  But the simple act of making something “fancy” in the form of spa water, has shifted my perspective and lifted my spirits.

Do something nice for yourself:  Make spa water today!

My pitcher contains a sliced lemon, a sliced lime and thinly sliced cucumber.  You could jazz it up even more with oranges or mint leaves, too.
