For those who over-did it this summer with beer, hot dogs or frappucinos, it's about time for a cleanse. Bottled water company, Evian, has a detox feature on their website that makes purifying your body a fun, interactive experience. A serene screen saver and traquil desktop wallpapers are available for free download.
I often forget to drink enough water while plinking away at my computer, so I thought the "desktop re-hydration reminder" widget might be just what I need. It's a fun little icon that appears in the bottom right of the screen every so often to remind you that your thirst needs quenching. Not ingenious, but fun, and it doesn't get in the way of your work, nor does it make obnoxious sounds.
We could all use a little detox now and then. If you don't know how or just lack the discipline, the Evian site might be the route to a cleaner, healthier you. Team up with others who are looking to rid their bodies of any margarita remnants and take the "purity pact" online.
Don't think you need to do it? Take the purity test to find out!
