I've never been a fan of drinking just a plain glass of water. I find it well, too boring for my taste. This is why I always find it hard to drink the recommended amount of glasses in an entire day. Thankfully, I can easily spice it up with slices of lemon or cucumber. Everyday, my morning routine involves me drinking a cup of coffee. It is my energizer for the day.
