Stay Hydrated with the Addition of a Patio Cooler

All summer we have been talking about how to decorate your outdoor spaces. While choosing the right furniture and decor is important, there is one very important point that we have not yet discussed – staying hydrated.

Sure, this is a lovely image of our SoHo Lounge Set but even more important than the outdoor sofas and chairs are the bottles of water placed on the coffee table. This summer, as you enjoy your newly decorated outdoor space, make sure to keep plenty of ice cold water close at hand. One way to do this is to outfit your deck or with a patio cooler.

This Oakland Living ice bucket is a great option. You can load it up with ice and bottled water when entertaining outdoors and make it easy for your guests to reach out and grab a beverage.

My grandmother recently visited us in Florida. Used to Pennsylvania weather, she did not account for the difference in climates and did not hydrate herself appropriately during her visit. By the fourth day we were spending an evening in the ER due to complications from hydration.

The real shame of it is that for days she was under the weather and the whole ordeal could have been avoided if we had just forced her to drink more water than she was used to drinking at home.
