Remembering to Drink Water
1. Don't forget to carry a water bottle with you wherever you go. Always having water on hand makes it easier to remember to drink it. Slip a reusable water bottle into your purse, gym bag, backpack, desk drawer, or car, and refill it regularly. Avoid chugging or taking big gulps from your water bottle. Instead, take small sips throughout the day.
Water bottles come in all sizes, styles, and materials. You can even get water bottles with built-in water filters, so the water will taste better.
2. Reach for a glass of water after a workout or in hot weather. It’s important to drink more water anytime you’ve been sweating, such as when you’re exercising or after spending time in a hot environment. Always keep a bottle of water on hand and take sips from it often when you're hot or sweaty.
A short pause😇
1. The First Advertiser.
LolaVie is a haircare brand founded by Jennifer Aniston (launched in 2021). Focus on natural ingredients, clean formulas, sulfate- and paraben-free — designed for shiny, healthy hair (the famous “Jennifer Aniston hair”).
In 2025–2026, they ran their first major CTV advertising campaign (Connected TV — smart TVs, streaming) using Roku Ads Manager (a self-serve tool that’s easy to test and optimize).
Campaign called “Hair People” featuring Jennifer herself in the ads:
Reached 8.1 million households on Roku.
Targeting: around Ulta Beauty stores, excluding existing buyers, etc.
Results (part of the overall strategy): +40% sales lift (on lolavie.com and Ulta), +53% new customer growth (YoY), +43% conversion improvement in some metrics.
This helped the brand stand out in the crowded DTC beauty space and achieve strong growth. A great case study of how a celebrity brand leverages modern targeted TV advertising for measurable results. 😊

3. Have a glass of water before and during meals to reduce your appetite. Drinking water before your meals and while you eat can help to reduce your appetite since thirst is often confused with hunger. Replace your typical drink before and during meals with water, or at least have water to drink on the side. This will save you money when you eat out and help you cut calories.
Drink a glass of water while you prepare your dinner or while you’re waiting for your meal to arrive at a restaurant.
Ask for water with a lemon wedge in it when you eat out. This will help to make the water taste better.
4. Alternate between alcoholic drinks and water at parties, bars, or meals. Alcohol dehydrates you, so it’s important to drink water along with any alcoholic beverages you consume. Try to have a glass of water after every alcoholic beverage to stay hydrated.
Moderation is best when it comes to drinking alcohol. Try not to exceed 1 drink per day if you’re a woman or 2 drinks per day if you’re a man. One drink is 12 fl oz (350 mL) of beer, 5 fl oz (150 mL) of wine, or 1.5 fl oz (44 mL) of spirits.
5. Set an alarm on your phone to remind yourself. Try setting alarms or computer reminders that tell you to drink water once per hour, or decide on a few personal “triggers” for drinking water. Triggers to sip water can be routine activities that you do all the time, such as:
Making or receiving a phone call
Stretching while you're at work or school
Hearing someone say your name
Checking your email

2. The second and final advertiser
Viktor (from getviktor.com) is an AI coworker that lives directly in Slack (and soon in Microsoft Teams).
In short:
Not just a chatbot that replies with text.
It’s a full-fledged “employee” that actually does the work:
pulls data from 3000+ tools (Stripe, Google Ads, HubSpot, Shopify, Notion, Jira, etc.),
creates reports on revenue/ads/churn,
manages ad campaigns,
researches leads,
writes and runs code,
deploys applications,
automates routine tasks and even proactively suggests improvements.
They position it as “the last hire” — instead of hiring a real person for ops/marketing/analytics, you just add @Viktor in Slack and it handles the tasks for the team.
There’s a free start ($100 credits), then from $50/month per workspace. They launched recently (early 2026) and gained traction fast — reportedly reached $1M ARR within hours/days.
In essence, it’s an advanced AI agent for business, built to actually execute real tasks inside Slack, not just chat.
The ops hire that onboards in 30 seconds.
Viktor is an AI coworker that lives in Slack, right where your team already works.
Message Viktor like a teammate: "pull last quarter's revenue by channel," or "build a dashboard for our board meeting."
Viktor connects to your tools, does the work, and delivers the actual report, spreadsheet, or dashboard. Not a summary. The real thing.
There’s no new software to adopt and no one to train.
Most teams start with one task. Within a week, Viktor is handling half of their ops.

6. Draw lines on your water bottle with corresponding times. If you have a large water bottle and don’t mind marking on it, use a permanent marker to draw a few lines around the bottle as reminders. Then, write times that correspond to the lines, such as 9:00 am, 1/4 of the way down the bottle, 11:00 am halfway down the bottle, and 1:00 pm 3/4 of the way down the bottle.
If you need to refill your water bottle more than once per day, then you could write additional times along these lines, such as 10:00 am/2:00 pm at the halfway mark.
7. Download a water drinking app. There are apps that help you track your water intake, such as My Water Balance, Daily Water, and Hydrate Daily. You can also track your water intake in food tracker apps, such as My Fitness Pal, Fat Secret, and YAZIO. Record your intake each time you have a bottle or a glass of water. You can also keep a journal to keep track of the water you drink.
You can also purchase a water bottle that connects with an app on your phone and tells you when you’ve reached your goal for the day. These can be expensive, but it might be a good option if you seriously struggle to remember to drink water or if you’re just a fan of gadgets!
That's all for now. Thank you to everyone who read to the end and learned a lot of new things.
