💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
I started adding mint to my water during work afternoons and it's completely changed my hydration habits. Those three mindful sips became this little pause I look forward to. The mint makes water feel special, and I find myself drinking more throughout the day. My coworkers have started doing it too - we have a little mint plant in the office now.
