How to Drink a Gallon of Water Each Day

A gallon of water is a lot. I’m not going to lie, I have to be really cognizant of drinking it if I am going to drink all 126 ounces of water daily.

We have had enough teachers. It’s time we take back our mental health this year and start focusing on us without feeling guilty for it.

So, this summer I have dedicated it to my own health, not my physical body!
