I love opening my refrigerator and seeing a beautiful carafe of fruity water. Studies have shown that drinking water boosts your metabolism, and drinking fruit infused water is a great way to increase your water intake.

Here I added an orange, cucumbers, mint and I threw in a few edible flowers. In the ice trays you can see blackberries, raspberries, rose petals and I also diced up a few apricots.

I love these TOVOLO ice trays. The cubes pop out easily and take up very little space in your freezer.

Here I used Pelligrino and filtered water. It's great to reach into your refridgerator and choose these beautifully flavored waters and pass on the soda's. I love offering my friends a glass of water with a touch of beauty and simplicity. The ice cubes are always a conversation piece

You can create your own water designs that are simple, look beautiful and taste amazing. Just perfect for a hot summer day. I have added the Amazon link for a large selection of water infused bottles.

Kicking back with my four legged friend and my fruity drink. Have a beautiful day!
