#9 Stupid Thing I've done for Beauty's sake

#9 Detox your body - Drink 8 to 10 litres of water a day

Water, water everywhere

Water cleanses out the toxins in your body, not to mention it helps clear skin of pimples and blemishes that are so much a part of the awkward, embarrassing adolescent years. At the time I had read about the benefits of water for the body and skin in a Dolly/Girlfriend/Cosmo article, big red pimples had started popping up all over my face that I had to turn my inexperienced hand at applying foundation. When you’d only ever dabbled in the art of make-up by applying loops of eyeliner to the outside of your lids, prompting your own dear father to remark, “You look like a prostitute”, it was no wonder when my attempt at applying foundation resulted in white, pock-like marks on my face. With a ‘dance party’ looming five days away and the anticipation that it was the event that would mark the beginning of a romance with a certain Polish dude, I was too impatient for just an 8-glasses-of-water-a-day. In a move that clearly showed I am my mother’s daughter, I decided to take this tip a step – make that, several glasses – too far. If I drank 8 to 10 litres of water a day, surely, my skin would clear up in a matter of days? Or, more precisely, in five days so I can dance the ‘Ice Ice Baby’ with my Polish crush? So I drank one litre of water per every waking hour per day. That’s approximately one glass of water every six minutes, one trip to the toilet every hour, and two trips from 11pm to 7am when I should be asleep. Finally, at 3am on the fourth morning, I was half-asleep when I needed to go to the toilet but my brain probably realised enough was enough, ignored the urging from my bowels and tugged me back to sleep where I promptly dreamt that I had gone to the toilet. When I woke up in the morning with the bed all soaked (gross!), I finally decided this 8 to 10 litres a day thing had to stop.

Hehehehehe, that's hilarious!

That's an insane amount of water. I'm surprised your kidney's didn't just give up and go out on strike!

Hi Kylie,
Thanks for the comment. It was actually not my kidneys I was worried about. My tummy was actually so bloated, I incurred whispers of 'Is she pregnant or something?' And it was hell trying to prevent yourself from laughing too hard, I can tell you that much.

Hi Lara

Thanks for dropping by. Well, not exactly 8 glasses a day. 20, maybe?

Hi Ash,

Thanks. They really should include a warning label on water bottles - excess drinking will give you bladder problems and embarrassment.
