I have always had a favorite water bottle and his name is Mr. Klean Kanteen. But step aside Klean because you may have been replaced. Okay maybe not replaced, but you will now have to share your coveted position in my cupboard. Make room for the sleek and ingenious Intak by Thermos. I wondered how I would like the Intak but I can now say I am a huge fan and while the Intak is a reusable (green) water bottle it does have a big strike against it...it is plastic. BPA free, safe plastic but … [Read more...]
Reusable Bottles BPA Free for Everyone!
I have dedicated a fair amount of time to exploring safe sippy cups and sports-type bottles for kids on this blog but haven't really explored the options for mom and dad. Of course it is important that we aren't sucking down BPA either and having a water bottle around is one of the best ways to ensure we actually drink our water throughout the day. The PET disposable bottles are probably the worst thing we could use. They are single use and add to the waste stream. They also have leaching … [Read more...]
Product Review: Sealerz
The Sealerz company recently sent me some samples of their reseal tabs.

My Water Glass
Carrie tagged me today and wants to know what my water glass or mug looks like.

Well, I decided to take a picture of it while I was on my morning hike. So here is my drinking mug (in all its glory). This picture was taken about 12 feet from my bedroom patio where I start my trek every morning. … [Read more...]
No Plastic Drink Containers Please
I just had to give a shout out for yet another wonderful "green" product. I am loving my new 40oz. stainless steel drinking container from Klean Kanteen. I have been going walking and hiking more now that the weather is cool and I don't have to worry about snakes in my backyard...so instead of carting along a plastic watter bottle I decided to make the transition to stainless steel which is durable, toxin free, and non-leaching. They come in a ton of sizes from 12 OZ ($17.95) which is perfect … [Read more...]
