ABC News explains that headaches, confusion, muscle cramps, and lightheadedness can all indicate that you’re at low levels of hydration. They recommend staying topped up with plenty of liquids and little to no caffeine or alcohol. It’s also a good idea to eat your water with fruits and vegetables, and to introduce added electrolytes when necessary. Stay safe, and always be Wize when it comes to outdoor adventures.

Ollie Cooper is a London-based lettering artist who specializes in one-of-a-kind signs and murals. His greatest inspiration comes simply from loving what he does… and occasionally creating controversial stickers that make you laugh. Because he’s a true creative, Ollie prefers to make his own Wize iced tea using our Jasmine dry tea blend, and then toss it in a green smoothie. Be sure to give him a follow at @olliecoopersigns.

Yulia Brodskaya’s collection of paper phoenixes create stunning works of art that inspire us to listen to our inner voice. She hopes that her works force you to pay attention to the emotions or feelings that come up when you first see it, and help you channel your intuition into why you like or dislike it. Like all great art, it’s about starting a conversation.
