Summer’s winding down, and it’s time to trade beach bags for backpacks. As we settle back into the fall routine - early mornings, packed schedules, and maybe a little less sunshine - one thing shouldn’t fall off your radar: hydration.
Whether you’re heading to class, work, or the carpool lane, staying properly hydrated is key to feeling focused, energized, and balanced all day long.
Here are 5 smart hydration tips to help you get back to your flow this fall:
1. Start Your Day with a Sip (Before the Coffee)
We get it - the smell of coffee is basically the adult version of an alarm clock. But before you brew that cup, drink a glass of water. After 7–8 hours (ideally) of sleep, your body needs to rehydrate. Reach for a bottle of Flow in the morning to help kickstart digestion and energy levels the natural way.
Bonus points if you keep a carton on your nightstand. That’s hydration on autopilot.
2. Pack a Hydration Hero
Lunchbox? Check. Laptop? Check. Flow? Check.
Slip a carton of Flow Mineral Spring Water into your bag for hydration that’s as easy to grab as it is to love. Unlike sugary sports drinks, Flow is naturally alkaline, packed with electrolytes, and comes in crave-worthy flavours like Peach + Blueberry and Cucumber + Mint.
It's a better-for-you beverage that keeps you fueled from first period to final meeting.
3. Time Your Sips with Your Schedule
Just like your calendar tells you when it’s time for a meeting, let it remind you when it’s time to sip. Set a hydration reminder on your phone every couple of hours - or better yet, tie hydration to daily habits (ex: every time you check your email, take a few sips). You’ll be surprised how easy it is to hit your water goals without even thinking about it.
4. Don’t Let Cooler Weather Fool You
When the temps drop, it’s easy to forget you still need hydration, even if you’re not sweating it out like you are in the summer. But dry indoor heat and busy fall routines can dehydrate you faster than you think. Keep sipping throughout the day, even when you're not feeling thirsty.
Pro tip: Flow’s subtle flavours make it more enjoyable to drink regularly than plain water. Hydration with a side of good taste? Yes, please.
5. Lead by (Hydrated) Example
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or just someone people look up to, you set the tone. When others see you prioritizing hydration, they’re more likely to do the same. Keep a Flow carton visible on your desk, in your lunch bag, or in your hand on Zoom. Consider it functional hydration and a conversation starter.
Back-to-school season doesn’t have to mean back to burnout. With these hydration hacks, and a stash of your favorite Flow, you’ll be ready to take on anything the season throws your way. Fresh starts taste better when they come with naturally alkaline mineral spring water that works as hard as you do.
Flow into fall. Stay balanced, stay hydrated, stay you.
