It’s one thing to set healthy goals for the new year, but it’s a whole other challenge to keep them. Our friend Lindsey Catherine, a Scottsdale, Arizona lifestyle blogger, helps us break it down into small ways that can help you make big strides this year. Check out her top tips for making your healthy resolutions last!
Up your Hydration
Water is key this month, well every month. Kick start the year by adding more water into your lifestyle. Plain water, well can be boring. I started adding in flavored waters, Cascade Ice, into my everyday routine. These sparkling water drinks are guilt-free, sodium-free, and caffeine free! Trying to drink a gallon of water a day is pretty hard, but adding these into the mix should help.
Partner with a Buddy
Having a friend, family member, or significant other join in your reaching your goals can make a big difference and it’s free! My friend and I agreed to send each other our daily food and water diary every night before bed. This helps to hold myself and her accountable in our journeys, even if they are different. This also will help with mindless snacking. If you’re hungry, drink more water! If you’re feeling something sweet, drink a Cascade Ice, the flavors are amazing and are perfect for your cravings. My favorite is the Orange Mango and Lemonade.
Be Active
We all know the start of the year gyms are crazy busy and that might deter you from getting in your workout, well don’t let it! Try going at a different time, early in the morning, during your lunch break, or later in the evening. I tend to work out around 6:30 pm when the post work crowd begins to leave. Classes are also a great way to be healthy this month, and most companies run start of the year sales so give that cycle, barre or HIIT class.
All About You
Make sure you goals are about you. All too often we get lost in social media and what she or he looks like. There is no standard to beauty. Don’t worry about impressing other people, especially those you don’t personally know either. To achieve long-term success in your goals do it all for YOU.

To get a jump on the day, millions of people reach for caffeine in the form of coffee. But coffee can often lead to an energy crash because of all the “extras” we add, such as sugar, sweetened creamers and flavored syrups. Not only does it cause a slump, but all the additions to your coffee can pack on the calories as well.
Our friend (and popular yoga and healthy lifestyle influencer) Karla Tafra recently shared her thoughts on staying hydrated while also maintaining energy in the healthiest way possible. Instead of coffee, she reaches for new Cascade Ice USDA Organic Caffeinated Waters to keep her energized and hydrated.
Karla said, “With only 3 ingredients, carbonated water, natural organic flavors and organic caffeine, this little can is filled with all the goodness. And don’t let me get started on the flavors. From Citrus Twist and Black Raspberry to Grapefruit and Pomegranate Mango, everyone can find their favorite (or two).”

Long time Cascade Ice Water fan, Elaine with Drink in Nature Photography, wowed us recently with her thoughts on our new Cascade Ice USDA Organic Caffeinated Sparkling Water line. While she loved our original organic sparkling water line, she admitted she liked having a little “pick me up” each afternoon, without sacrificing taste or quality.
Also a native Northwesterner, Elaine recently took a road trip to the North Cascade National Park and drove the Cascade Loop Highway. What a perfect opportunity to try out all four flavors (Grapefruit, Citrus Twist, Black Raspberry, and Pomegranate Mango) while enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest! She tells us it was a refreshing alternative to a cup of coffee with summer temperatures creeping into the 90’s.
And of course, as a professional photographer, she absolutely nailed it with her beautiful candid shots. Have you tried our new Cascade Ice USDA Organic Certified Sparkling Waters yet? What flavor is your favorite? Tell us in the comments below and “like” and “follow” us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
