Staying hydrated is so important, and she makes sure she drinks plenty of water. “Drink Your Water. Wear Sunscreen. ☀️#weekendvibes #sunkissed #msolympia #vibes #georgia #summertimeshine #laterpost,” she said on Instagram. According to the Mayo Clinic, “water is your body's principal chemical component and makes up about 50% to 70% of your body weight. Your body depends on water to survive. Every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to work properly.”
