PFMs Healthy Living: LifeFactory Water Bottles

most don't know that i have named myself a water snob; i am one of those people who refuses to drink water that doesn't taste good.  don't get me wrong, i am fully aware that i am a child of privilege, especially when so much of the world is in need of clean drinking water.  i am blessed (or cursed depending on your outlook) to live in the land of plenty.  we have multiple types and brands of water that we can drink in addition to water flowing out of our tap.  while i am not totally sold on the bottled water phenomenon, i do know what tastes good.  that means i do buy bottled water, but i always refill bottles to carry on the go.  ...so here are my reasons for giving Lifefactory bottles a test run.

  1. a big part of keeping my water fresh tasting and not stale, is based on what i carry it in.  i have owned a Klean Kanteen for years. my whole family has had them and i still swear by those bottles.  ...but when these babies came on the scene, the idea of using glass was more up my alley.  these bottles by Lifefactory, boast that, in addition to being BPA and toxic material free, they offer the best taste.  
  2. glass?? i did have my reservations... i wasn't sure if it was gonna make my bag (even) heavier to carry one around.  not to mention, the chances of breakage with one drop (did i mention how banged up my Klean Kanteen is from multiple drops?).  despite the possible disadvantages, i still wanted to got one.  though i am a water snob, i can be really bad at making sure i get my daily fill.  the main benefit of glass is that i need to see the water going down in my bottle so that i can keep my eye on the prize.  when i can't see the water level, i am more likely to ignore that i haven't emptied the bottle.  i'm hoping the guilt of seeing a full bottle will assist in me being extra hydrated.
  3. last but not least, who can resist the fun, colorful silicone covers??  it was hard for me to choose which one to go with.  surprisingly, i was not drawn to my usual fave color purple.  instead, i chose to go with the midnight blue color (see pic above).  i also bagged the 22oz for $19.99 at Wild by Nature out here on LI.  that's a full $2-3 cheaper than i've seen it elsewhere.
so now it remains to be seen how this bottle performs.  i'll keep you posted!! xo sesheta
