    Yesterday, I was complaining to Jasmine about how so many of the current drinking water sold today are laced with that disgusting artificial wanna-be fake sugar.  Anything with splenda, sucralose, whatever I simply will not consume. I felt duped recently, because I had bought a refreshing light apple juice cocktail, and when I came home to enjoy it, I spat it out.  I realized I missed the microscopic print on the label, "with sucralose".  Ugh, such a disappointment.

    Jasmine poked at her own thoughts, and asked me if I ever drank this refreshing sparkling water back in the day that had a hint of fruit.   A hint of fruit?  And then it hit me, like when you try and solve a math problem for hours and the numbers start making sense out of the blue. Yes, Clearly Canadian!

    There was a period in the 90's when Clearly Canadian was like the best drink ever.  My family doesn't preach soda around the house, simply because my dad's one of those health-conscious people who shuns extra unwanted calories.  But the two exceptions he allowed while I was growing up, was Perrier and Clearly Canadian.  I could reason with him that they are sparkling water which clearly does not qualify as a soda.  I remember that crisp cool refreshing bite after your first sip - the oh-so-fruity goodness (without that artificial nasty aftertaste a lot of the current fancy fruity waters leave behind on your palate).  But for whatever reason, maybe they stopped selling it locally, I have not enjoyed a Clearly Canadian in 10 years. 

    So after doing a little research today, I discovered it still exists!  Hooray!   And they also give back!  For every Clearly Canadian beverage sold, a percentage of their funds are donated to help communities who need safe water supplies through projects to create needed wells and water sources.  http://www.clearly.ca/files/global-water.php

    My quest to find a bottle nearby begins.

    My heart skips a beat to:
    That really good song that you can put on repeat without getting tired of it, the perfect swish from nothing but net, bright colors that scream attention which I don't like to bask in, cars that remind me of cartoons, the right sneakers for every occasion, the honest "I've-missed-you" look my dog gives me when I come home, a quick run in the dark imagining someone is chasing me, anything kawaiiiiii, frozen desserts of many fulfilling kinds, heroes or arch-nemeses, life ambitions and carpe diem actions, exercising brain power, exploring So Cal, and eating food that is yummy-yummy, in my tummy. Did I mention I'm a web-junkie? Long live internet!
