Update your glassware or water bottle to something with a fun pattern or bold colours so you'll actually want to drink more water. Deck out your patio Keep your home cooler by cooking on the grill. Make your outdoor living space more inviting. Ensure there are shaded areas for cool ing off -- colourful wide umbrellas can help. Set up a hydration station with a pitcher of fruit-flavoured water.
