I know….you have read 100 articles and blog posts about drinking lemon water. Well….welcome to number 101.

If you are like me, when you read these articles you realize immediately that lemon water is the answer to all things wellness. You may even pull out a large water bottle, slice up enough lemon for a week and drink one glass. One. And that’s it. The lemons shrivel up waiting to be used and you return to your 3 cups of coffee morning habit in 24 hours.

Well, my friends. I am happy to share that I am now on my 3rd week of 20+ ounces of lemon water daily. Does it really make difference? Hell yes!

I’m not going to bore you with the obligatory lecture about what you already know. That stuff about better digestion, improved immunity, optimal pH balance, plumper skin, a boost in metabolism, improved mood….and the list goes on. (ok…sorry…I did have to sneak it in a little….)

Instead, I am going to tell you that I have found a way to make sure I start each morning with 20oz of lemon water. And I have Cameron Diaz to thank for it.
