You’re doing everything else—SPF, green juice, tongue scraping, Pilates—but your skin still looks tired, your energy crashes mid-afternoon, and your brain feels like a buffering screen. Babe... it’s your hydration game. And no, one sad glass of lemon water doesn’t count.

Read for a juicy, bougie, body-loving guide to hydrating like you’re prepping for a week on a yacht with no filters, just vibes.

✧ Rehydrate Like You Just Woke Up From a 90s Supermodel Nap

Hot girl tip: You lose hydration while you sleep. So that glowy morning skin? Starts the second you wake up.

Do this:

  • Chug a tall glass of room temp water with a pinch of sea salt + a splash of pure coconut water or aloe vera juice.
  • Add trace minerals or electrolytes if you're feelin’ extra (and you are).
  • Say this affirmation while sipping: “I hydrate like a woman who owns property in Capri.”

✧ Your Mid-Morning Water Needs to Have a Vibe

Water with lemon? Cute. But let’s elevate. You’re not a VSCO girl. You’re a Soleau girl. We’re going for citrus spa fantasy with benefits.

Upgrade your vibe:

  • Lemon + cucumber + mint + chlorophyll drops = hydration that feels like a skincare ad
  • Feeling puffy or PMS-y? Add hibiscus tea or a splash of cranberry concentrate (de-bloat city)
  • Keep it in a glass bottle or a pink Stanley—make it aesthetic, or you won’t drink it. That’s science.

✧ Afternoon Glow Water = Bloat-Free Energy

Coffee is cute, but cortisol is not. Instead of reaching for that second iced latte, try a hydration glow-up that doesn’t crash your hormones.

Make this:

  • 1 glass cold water
  • 1 scoop electrolyte powder (no sugar, only vibes)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional but hot girl coded)
  • A few slices of frozen watermelon or strawberries
  • Bonus: Add a scoop of collagen peptides or glutamine for skin + gut support

Sip it while pretending you're doing something mysterious on your laptop in a 5-star resort lobby.

✧ Hydrate Your Nervous System, Not Just Your Skin

Night hydration = nervous system reset. If you’re waking up bloated or dry AF in the morning, you might be going to bed underhydrated and overstimulated.

Pre-bed elixir:

  • Warm water or herbal tea (like lemon balm, chamomile, or tulsi)
  • Add a splash of unsweetened almond milk + raw honey + magnesium powder
  • Sip it while doing your skincare, journaling, or manifesting your soft life
