“Plant Nanny combines health with fun to remind you to drink water regularly. The cute plant keeps you company every day by living in your phone.”
Does it seem foolish that a grown adult would need hourly reminders to drink more water? To some, maybe. To me? Not at all! I am forever being told that the secret to beautiful skin is drinking your body weight in water each day. (Are men told this too? Or is it just women who are constantly expected to worry that, oh fuck, the wrinkles & fine lines are COMING FOR YOU IF YOU DON'T START PREPARING NOW.)
That being said, I do need to drink more water. Not because I'm deathly afraid of becoming some sort of trollish, water-hating ogre, but because drinking water is so easy to do. It's, like, the easiest possible thing you can do to even be 1% better at taking care of yourself. I mean, it's everywhere and it's free. It's almost ridiculous not to be drinking lots of water at this point.
And the absolute cutest reminder of doing such? This app. You type in your body weight, your level of daily activity - and then it lets you know exactly how much water you should be drinking daily. And for every cup you drink, that water feeds a growing plant. Simple, right? It's honestly cute as hell.
