why you ask? well, i had a thought. my skin is always ashy, my lips are always ashy…what must my insides be like? they’re probably desperate for water. i drink caffeine and occasional champagne (which are diuretics – in other words, they suck the water out of you) which doesn’t help my already dry skin…
SO, i’m making a pact…with myself…to drink 6 liters of water a day. 2 of these bad boys…


















December 23, 2009
Are you kidding me?!?!? Your skin is flawless!
December 23, 2009
I gotta co-sign with yomonyb! Never hurts to drink more water but maybe you should try consuming more omega fatty acids using a nutritional supplement like chia seeds: http://www.living-foods.com/articles/chia.html
December 23, 2009
Ooh good luck with that, 6lt is ambitious!
December 23, 2009
drink water and sunny d for the vitamin
and your good chappy
December 23, 2009
too much is not good either. 2-3 liters/ day is definitely enough. have you never heard of water intoxication?
December 23, 2009
girl, you’re gonna be peeing ALL DAY!! haha! i’ve tried 2 liters a day before and it was non stop bathroom breaks. lmao!!
December 23, 2009
I have to be honest when I first read tha subject title, I thought to myself is vashtie smokin weed lol. Because I’ve known ppl that were smokin and to pass a drug test they would drink large amounts of water a day or two before…..but anywho, yeah your skin looks pretty good from my angle. But we all should drink more water….so lets toast to pretty skin(and i’m holdin a diet dr.pepper lol)!!!!!!!!! peace vash
December 23, 2009
Good for you. A friend of mind just told me the other her daughter was dehydrated when she went to the doctors and they said that the first sign is ashy skin and dry lips. Of course the cold weather also plays a part in that too.
December 23, 2009
Good for you, but your skin looks amazing! I need to drink more water, too. (As I sip this coffee)
December 23, 2009
you can get edema in your brain if you drink a few liters really quick.
you shouldn’t even drink that much though cause it messes up your electrolytes.
and don’t worry about your insights, like London said, ashy skin is one of the 1. signs.
oh and btw we all need to stop drinkin bottled water, it takes 3000 times more energy to produce a liter of bottled water than a liter of tap water. that’s ridiculous.
cheers
December 23, 2009
ashy? (O_0) lol
December 23, 2009
you will pee ALOT
lol
December 23, 2009
damn thats a lot of water…like a lot
December 23, 2009
WOW… that’s a lot of water. Good luck…
I’m not fairing well with the weather right now and I’m getting hit by the ash too. Maybe I should up my water intake while I search or the perfect moisturizer.
On a side note: Your EYEBROWS are on point!
December 23, 2009
I’m going to make that pact with you, but I’m going to do Deer Park! We’ll be Toxin free! lol I’m serious though.
December 23, 2009
BECAREFUL!! drinking too much water will drain your vitamins and the nutriments that you need!. 2 litter should be the max BUT it needs to be an every day job not just now because you’re drained. And your ashy skin might not even be because of water, it could be a lack of Vitamin A or even C both contributes to your skin, tone, health etc. Google and read on that before you drown yourself
.
December 23, 2009
make some of that TAP water!!!…there’s no fluoride and other natural minerals in spring/bottled water…its almost “too” pure!!
December 23, 2009
what a great idea, i have to start drinking more water also.
December 23, 2009
LMAO @ your skin and lips being ashy.
You have beautiful skin Vashtie, but water is good for you..just make sure your around a bathroom at all times, b/c your gonna be peeing up a storm. lol
December 23, 2009
I posted this a second ago,
Hey, my best friend loves your blog, so seeing that you do go on regularly, would it be possible for you to post, MERRY CHRISTMAS ‘GIL .B’ on your blog, on christmas? That would be my awesome gift to him!!!!!
NOW, I’m ECSTATIC because I’ve since heard that you have done this before!
So, if you do get to post it.. I’d like it to say something like..
MERRY CHRISTMAS GILBERT BAYONNE! – FROM MARCELA.
YOU HAD AN AWESOME COLLEGE SOCCER CAREER & YOU’LL CONTINUE TO BE AWESOME AS AN ATTOURNEY AT LAW
Vashtie, it would be the BEST GIFT of ALL TIME.
Thanks!!!
December 23, 2009
ambitious- i’ll try and start with one glass and hopefully work my way to 8 glasses -_-
December 23, 2009

(Nas- It Ain’t Hard To Tell)
-I’m pacing around aimlessly I’m so excited/nervous/anxious!
December 23, 2009
don’t drink too much. remember to eat your fruits and veggies.
(i sound like my mom lol)
December 23, 2009
I’m with you. You should drink lots of water. Also, find foods that keep you naturally hydrated.
December 23, 2009
try not using plastic bottles.. not only is plastic made with bad toxins but its expensive and hard to recycle..
p.s…. the worlds largest landfill is in the pacific ocean..stretching between California to Japan. and guess what, its filled with plastic =(
btw.. HEY !
December 23, 2009
Too much of anything at one time is no good… have water but drink moderately & slow down on the caffeine & alcohol
December 23, 2009
Hey Vashtieee, I think I’m gonna try the same thing because this winter is tearing my skin up! lol
Theophilius tweeted that you were making a twitter, imma follow you girl! lol
December 23, 2009
you’re gonna have to pee a lot
December 23, 2009
OK, we know she is gonna pee a lot, duh!!!
December 23, 2009
I’m doing the same thing. Drink water everyday and an occasional oj or apple juice lol
December 23, 2009
might as well add watermelon to the mix! its underated…one of the best fruits for skin and blood flow!
December 23, 2009
I ♥ you for the last pic, girl :]
I ♥ water, you know I’m the one who thinks water is very impressive! ^^
I’m a freaky water freak
December 23, 2009
Water doesn’t taste good. That’s why I don’t drink it.
December 23, 2009
My goodness, is 6 liters the suggested daily intake? I don’t know if we need THAT much per day. My pee is usually dark yellow, I know that’s not good, I need to up my intake too.
December 23, 2009
I Have To Drink More Water 2! Thats A Lot Of Water… 6 Liters Thats So Many Bathroom Trips… Lol
December 23, 2009
Besides the water, you should try Virgin Olive Oil, it works great as a moisturizer after bathing and keeps the ash away. It doesn’t leave a smell or leave your skin oily like you would think.
December 23, 2009
You’re soo pretty
December 23, 2009
I drink 3 liters a day. 6 is no joke. lol
December 24, 2009
really?! your skin can’t be that ashy lol
but I commend you on drinking water, i should start, i stopped drinking pop though & I feel better not drinking it all the time
December 24, 2009
i wish you luck with that…i really do lol. kudos.
December 25, 2009
Ashy? Your skin glows. I drink a lot of water and pee all day. Remember to wipe and wash those hands every time. lol!
December 25, 2009
SIX LITERS IS TOO MUCH!!!!!!!! LOOK UP WATER INTOXICATION
December 26, 2009
Dude, make sure you are drinking alkaline water! That Poland Springs water has a ph level of 5. This means that water will contribute to making your body acidic. Which is not good!
December 29, 2009
I love this women..She’s so beautiful!
January 2, 2010
I’m sure you’re just ashy because it’s winter?? or is this a year round problem?
your skin and lips obviously dry out much faster in the winter cuz of the cold air but it doesnt mean you’re dehydrated at all.
6 litres is a bit much. 6-8 glasses of water is enough

HAS IT BEEN HELPING YOUR SKIN SO FAR? LET ME KNOW ~RIN
