I’ve tried a lot of hydration powders over the years. Some because I was traveling, some after workouts, and some just because I felt run-down and wanted something better than plain water. That’s how I ended up using both Liquid Labs and Liquid I.V., often at different points in my routine. After bouncing between the…
If you’ve ever stood in the supplements aisle wondering whether TruLabs or Liquid I.V. is the better hydration booster, trust me — you’re not alone. I’ve tested both on long workdays, gym sessions, and even during those lazy weekends when you’re just trying to recover from being dehydrated without realizing it. And while both brands…
When I started looking at the Jura E8 vs S8, I honestly thought the decision would be easy. They’re both Jura machines, both expensive, and both promise café-quality coffee at the push of a button. How different could they really be? Turns out, pretty different. I’ve spent real time with both machines, making my usual…
I’ve gone back and forth between Red Bull and Celsius more times than I can count. Some mornings I want that familiar Red Bull crack-the-can rush. Other days I’m reaching for a Celsius because I’m trying to convince myself I’m being a little healthier. If you’ve ever stood in front of the fridge at a…
I’ve reached for both Lucozade and Gatorade more times than I can count. Gym sessions, long walks, lazy afternoons when I just felt drained. At some point, I started wondering why I picked one over the other. Was it taste, habit, or did one actually work better for me? That curiosity is what pushed me…
When it comes to staying hydrated — especially during workouts, hot weather, long travel days, or even just daily life — electrolytes matter. But with so many products on the market, how do you decide which one is right for you? Let’s dive into two trending electrolyte solutions: Buoy and LMNT. Why Electrolytes Matter: It’s…
I’ll be honest. I didn’t try DripDrop because I’m some elite hydration expert. I tried it because I woke up with a pounding headache, a dry mouth, and that heavy, foggy feeling that tells you last night was fun but this morning is not. I’ve done the usual hangover fixes. Water chugging. Greasy food. Swearing…
I first tried LMNT because it’s known for doing one thing really well: delivering a lot of sodium with zero sugar. Each packet is packed with electrolytes, no fillers, and none of the sweet, syrupy taste you get from most sports drinks. If you’re low-carb, keto, or just trying to avoid sugar, LMNT makes a…
Hangovers feel worse than regular dehydration. After drinking, you’re not just low on water, you’re low on electrolytes too. That’s why headaches, dry mouth, and low energy hit so hard the next morning. This is why a lot of people reach for electrolyte drinks instead of plain water. The goal is to replace what alcohol…
I started paying more attention to electrolytes when I realized water alone wasn’t always enough. I could drink plenty of it and still feel tired, foggy, or slow to recover after workouts, travel, or long days. That’s when I learned how much electrolyte balance actually matters for hydration, energy, and recovery. Electrolytes like sodium and…
