Hydrate or Die (No, Seriously—My Mother-in-Law Has the Tattoo to Prove It)

Let’s talk hydration. It’s not just a wellness buzzword—it’s your secret weapon for energy, clarity, and glowing skin. And if you need a visual reminder, my mother-in-law literally has “Hydrate or Die” tattooed on her arm. Commitment, people.

Well, 2024… you really outdid yourself. It was a year of challenges, lessons, and a few unexpected detours, but through it all, I stayed focused on what really matters—health, resilience, and foam rolling!
