New Year’s Resolutions can be hard to stick to! But don’t be intimidated.
Small changes can make a big difference.
Breaking a single bad habit can cascade into something amazing.
So let’s start with something easy and achievable! Here are three resolutions that make a big difference (without a ton of effort):
1. Drink More Water
Is one of your goals this year to be healthier? That’s a pretty broad goal.
Break it down into specific realistic pieces – lose 5 pounds, take a walk once a week, etc. It’s up to you! What do you need to be healthy?
One thing will help with all of your physical and mental health goals: proper hydration.
Obviously, we’re all about water here at AquaNui. We want you to have better water – the best water! And we want you to stay hydrated and healthy by drinking the best water.
So let’s set a realistic, measurable goal. (In Part 1, we discussed keeping your goals realistic.)
How much water do you, realistically, want to drink each day? How much does your body need?
The rule of thumb is 8 glasses of water a day, but if you live in a warmer climate and you exercise a lot, you may need more. If you live a sedentary lifestyle, you may need less.
Take a look at the rest of your current fluid intake too. Are you currently drinking a lot of sugary sodas or coffee? Consider replacing them with water as part of your goal.
Why It Matters
Even mild dehydration can mess you up.
Physically: mild dehydration means reduced endurance, increased fatigue, trouble regulating body temperature, and less motivation. Mentally: mild dehydration affects your concentration, alertness and short-term memory. (Source)
It’s hard to be a boss when you feel exhausted, unmotivated, and you aren’t thinking as clearly as you think you are.
So let’s get you to the best version of you by staying hydrated!
How We Make It Easy
First, AquaNui distilled water just tastes better. Second, after trying quality distilled water, your body will crave it.
When you go somewhere new and try their tap water, you probably notice that it doesn’t taste like your tap water.
But should water really have a taste?
No! The “taste” of you tap water is the “taste” of the contaminants in it – the bitterness of hardness minerals, pool-scented chlorine, the metallic tang of iron and lead…
With an AquaNui water distiller, you get fresh, crisp, clear water that tastes the way nature intended.
According to Allen Banik in his book “The Choice is Clear,” even animals can tell the difference and prefer distilled water. (Fun fact: Secretariat drank only distilled water.)
Plus, people who drink distilled water tend to drink more water! You’re not clogging your body with the chemicals, and your body will crave the purity and goodness.
2. Reduce Your Dependence on Single-Use Plastics
More than 80 percent of recyclable plastic bottles end up in landfills each year.

More than 80 percent of recyclable plastic bottles end up in landfills each year. They do not break down naturally and release toxic chemicals when they finally do decompose, according to the Columbia Water Center.
But the tides are turning. Airports, universities, and even whole towns have banned sales of single-use plastic bottles of water.
Do you want to do your part? Resolve to reduce your dependency on single-use plastics!
Why It Matters
What kind of world do you want to leave for the next generation?
One with clean water, fresh air, and healthy wildlife?
Or one where the ecosystem is poisoned and you consume a credit card’s worth of plastic every week?
Simple actions can leave a powerful legacy.
How We Make It Easy
Most people drink bottled water because they assume it’s safer (which it isn’t), because they think it tastes better than tap water, or because it’s convenient. So if you want to ditch the single-use plastic water bottle, it’s a lot easier if you get those three things.
Water from your AquaNui is 99.9+% pure, so you don’t have to worry about contamination. (You also don’t have to worry about the microplastics from the bottle getting into your water.) As we mentioned early, this water tastes fresh and crisp – it’s the way water should taste! And it’s super convenient – you don’t have to stock up at the store or lug bottles around.
Plus, AquaNui Water Distillers are built to be better for the environment than filters, wasteful reverse osmosis systems, and other cheaper, plastic distillers. We use glass jars to store water from our countertop unit and stainless steel storage tanks for our automatic unit. And if you need a reusable water bottle, we’ve got a travel mug!
3. Spend Less Money
Save more money and spend less money – this is one of the most common New Year’s resolutions!
Unfortunately, it’s also one of the top 10 most commonly broken New Year’s Resolutions…
Now while we can’t stop you from blowing $50 on in-app purchases from that phone game you’re addicted to, we can help you break your addiction to wasting money on bottled water.
It’s become such a cultural norm that Americans spent $31 billion last year on bottled water. That’s a lot of money!
Let’s break the habit and help you save.
Why It Matters
Hopefully this one is obvious. When you have more money, you can do more of what you love!
How We Make It Easy
While an AquaNui water distiller is an investment up front, you’ll save more in the long run.
Did you know that bottled water is marked up a ridiculous amount? Nearly half of all bottled water is reprocessed tap water, sold at prices up to 3,000 times higher than consumers pay for tap water.
With an AquaNui water distiller, you can take control and make your own better-than-bottled water without the crazy markup! Even if you calculate the electricity costs (which we did in this blog), you’re still saving money in the long run.
Plus – no more lugging bottles home from the store – which wastes gas, time, and effort.
