Being fully hydrated and drinking enough water throughout the day is a high priority for our family. Our primary beverage is water, sparkling water and in the summer we can’t get enough of unsweetened tea. If you come to our home, water is about all I have to offer that is non-alcoholic.
We always have a well stocked fridge of these items, but keeping up with so much water consumption can require frequent trips to the store.
When I heard about the social experiment called Fear of Running Out conducted by ReadyRefresh℠ by Nestlé ® – I could totally relate. This is me trying to keep our family hydrated and a well-stocked fridge. Some people suffer from FOMO – we suffer from FORO {Fear of Running Out}!
What exactly is FORO? Ever stock up on items to prevent frequent trips to the store? That’s how we handle my sparkling water addiction. Buying in bulk keeps shopping trips to a minimum, but lugging extra cases is a big pain.ReadyRefresh believes that your hydration should never hinge on the inconvenience of restocking your water supply. Having your favorite bottled water on hand, without hassle, keeps you in control of what you drink, and when. When you and your family are thirsty, you should get to drink your beverage of choice—not fall victim to Fear of Running Out.
My passion for daily water consumption goes way back when I was studying nutrition in grad school. Learning that replacing a single 12-ounce, 140 calorie sugar sweetened beverage with water each day for a year can cut more than 50,000 calories from my diet was all I needed to fully eliminate sodas and juices all together. It’s something I’m teaching my girls so they can make smarter choice too.
Being involved in competitive cheer which keeps them extremely active, helps with water consumption too. They never leave home without a bottle of water, something I practice too.
As a busy parent it’s not always easy to stay on top of having water readily available but ReadyRefresh – a customizable beverage delivery service provides an easy way to bring a little more health into your home by offering a variety of leading bottled water brands like Ice Mountain, Nestlé Pure Life, Perrier, San Pellegrino available in an assortment of sizes and flavors. My new obsession is Sparkling Ice Mountain in Lemon.
By using ReadyRefresh with your mobile device or their website, orders can be quickly customized and delivered right to your door. You know how much I love delivery service and this takes out the hassle of running to a big box store when you need to buy in bulk.
Just before our road trip to Michigan I knew we needed to stock up and within less than 2 days everything arrived so we could take plenty of water with us. Once my order was processed I received an email confirmation and after delivery, a text confirmation.
The order process was so simple, quick and easy offering flexible delivery hours and frequency options. I could choose from one-time ordering or weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly and every 3 months for any product. This is so beneficial for future road trips, entertaining at home or when I need to donate a few cases for school events.
To study the “Fear of Running Out” (FORO), ReadyRefresh worked with a local Chicago family conducting a two-week, in-home experiment which tested their behavior when the supply of an everyday essential like bottled water began to decrease. The experiment demonstrated changes in their behavior and their ability to adhere to healthy drinking habits. The video makes you realize how much we need to focus on our own water consumption habits!
In tandem, ReadyRefresh conducted a survey of 4,000 individuals across the United States to collect statistics around water consumption habits and the FORO phenomenon…
- More than half of all surveyed (52%) experience FORO at least once a week.
- According to survey respondents, bottled water is the beverage of choice in homes (36%), workplaces (46%), and at school (36%).
- Of those surveyed, three out of four (75%) working parents would buy more household items in bulk if it was more convenient.
- According to the survey, more than half of full-time working parents (55%) say that daily errands keep them from spending quality time with friends and family.

I have a complete sparkling water addiction as well! It has replaced soda, juice and all other bevs in our household. Will have to try this, thanks!
We recently ordered water delivery from Nestle and I can’t believe it took us so long! We have been well supplied this summer!
Our house goes through countless number of bottled waters a day! We may have a slight obsession, and we’re always running out! This sounds like exactly what we need! Hope to see you soon!! XO

I totally relate to this, living in the city we go to the grocery store almost every other night!! Between not having a car and not having a ton of space we run out of things all the time! I’m sure we could drink my water around our house, I think we need to sign up for this! 🙂

Alison you are adorable! I drink water like it’s going out of style. Such great tips here – need to try the tea!
Love seeing your little cuties in these pics and the kitchen looks amazing! I am addicted to La Croix so you have my attention. Customized delivery is music to my ears!
You are so sweet and kind!
I didn’t realize that bottled water can be delivered to your home! I also didn’t realize that most people buy bottled water in bulk. I’ve heard that drinking bottled water is a good way to be able to measure your water intake, I’ll have to look more into it though!
