Drink More Water! (My Newest Favorite App)

I've known forever that people are supposed to drink 8 glasses of water per day. For some reason, however, I really don't like drinking any kind of liquids all that much. Many times, when I get on a "health kick," one of the first things I try to do is drink more water. I've tried putting notes on my mirror, keeping glasses of water by my desk and bedside, and some other methods, I'm sure. None of them really worked beyond a few days. Anyway, I met up with a friend back in October or November who told me about a free water drinking app she downloaded called Plant Nanny. 

Basically, every time you drink a glass of water, you water your plant. It starts off as a little things and then grows every once in a while. If you don't drink enough water, it starts to wilt and die. I've never had one die on me, but I'm sure it happens because I've gotten close.

It seems like a really cheesy app, but I've actually noticed that I've been drinking much more water since I downloaded it months ago. I even turned off the reminder notifications to drink water, but I still use it constantly because I'm the paranoid type that doesn't want her fake plants to die. Anyway, it's fun because there are many customizable aspects like pots, backgrounds, and types of plants. 

Look how festive the ivy looks in the little present box! Haha. At any rate, it's been an entertaining and effective app thus far, so I thought I'd share it here. I've actually told many of my friends and family about it, and some of them even went on to download the app themselves! I should earn a commission or something. So, if one of your New Years Resolutions was to get healthy, I recommend this app to get you drinking more water!
