Who’s Ready to Sparkle?
It’s been a hot, wet summer here but lately? There’s been a tinge of fall in the air. Of course I’ll hang onto summer as long as I can but I’d be lying if I said the cool crisp days of fall and colorful foliage didn’t hold some appeal.

While summer was certainly lots of fun and filled with late nights and indulgences, it’s time now to simplify, focus on getting back to basics and be more mindful about treating myself well. One of the first things I like to do in this process is focus on hydration. Last summer I took on the Gerolsteiner Sparkling Detox Challenge where Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water was the only beverage I consumed for 5 days. Yep, I skipped my morning coffee and lived to tell about it! In fact it was nowhere near as difficult as I thought it would be. Mostly I’m pretty good about the drinks I choose but over the summer there’s been some diet soda in the mix thanks to attending lots of parties. That soda needs to be kicked to the curb and what better time to do it than on the cusp of a new season?
That’s why I’ll be participating in another round of the Gerolsteiner Sparkling Detox Challenge and you’re invited to join me.
What is Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water?
Natural mineral water comes from an underground spring and is bottled in its pure form right at the source. Unlike conventional water, it has at least 250 mg of mineral content per liter. These minerals include calcium and magnesium among many others, which the body cannot make on its own. Magnesium supports the body’s energy metabolism and helps enhance the function of the muscles and nervous system. Calcium is important for healthy bones, muscles and teeth. Calcium is also important for metabolic function and works in tandem with magnesium. In fact, the ratio of these minerals needed for absorption by our bodies is identical to the ratio found in Gerolsteiner.
Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water originates in the Volcanic Eifel of Germany and has been bottled there for hundreds of years. It contains a perfect balance of minerals for both wellness and great tasting refreshment. The mineral content is high, yet the taste is refreshing and natural.

Have you ever done a detox? Is staying hydrated a challenge for you? What beverage do you think you’ll miss most during the Sparkling Detox Challenge?
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
I have never done a detox. I am weak. But I do drink a lot of water on a regular basis.
Kimberly G says
I drink regular water and seltzer water but didn’t know about all the benefits of mineral water. I’m definitely interested in doing the detox next month!
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
Giving up coffee will be so hard but I am in see you there!
Marcia says
Deb I did the detox last year and dreaded the no-coffee part!
Annmarie says
I don’t know if I will be skipping my morning coffee all together but I will be drinking Gerolsteiner right when I wake up before I pour my cup of joe! 😉
Marcia says
Annmarie even the thought of missing that coffee is tough!
Tricia@MissSippiPiddlin.com says
Never done a detox but I try to get my water in but here lately I feel like I can’t stay hydrated. My mouth is always dry!
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
I love water! I’m not big on carbonation (it sometimes makes me feel bloated), but I’d be up for giving this a shot.
Jamie King says
I’m so excited about this and NEED it in my life, been drinking WAY too much coffee…all the traveling, it has felt necessary!
Liz says
ohmigawd yes giving up the coffee is going to be so hard. But I’m so ready to sparkle!! 😉
Mary BEth Jackson says
So like no coffee and no wine for 5 whole days???????? or are we drinking sparkling water from 9-5? 🙂
Kimberly Hatting says
I remember you doing this last year. I could probably do a “regular” water detox, but I’m just not a fan of sparkling water (unless I add sugar…lots of sugar… to it LOL). I’ve also tried to like Nuun, but just couldn’t do it. Maybe I need an intervention (?)
Marcia says
Kim you can add fruit to your sparkling water!
Michelle @ Running with Attitude says
I’ve done a detox before and the no-coffee thing for me was killer!
Rachel says
I’m really excited for the challenge. I’m a little nervous about giving up coffee but…
Nicci Randall says
5 days, no coffee. Wow. Bring it on 😉
Jamie King says
The coffee part is the hardest part for me but together, we can do it!
