RECIPES: 5 Fruit, Vegetable & Herbal Infusions To Perk Up Your H2O

GOOD LIVING IS GLAM FOR ECO DIVA BEAUTY–As we approach the warm weather season, it's more important than ever to make sure you're getting enough hydration (and no, coffee and tea don't count!

Here's a solution: add a little zest to this skin essential ritual with five fruit, vegetable and herbal infused waters that will get you excited to hydrate simply because they look beautiful, taste refreshing and provide an added vitamin and nutrient boost.
