Have you kicked bottled water yet?
Now that the weather is starting to warm up, I’m reminded that I should turn my 3 o’clock coffee into a 3 o’clock glass of water. It’s always easier to focus on your daily intake of water when it’s not 30 degrees outside.
With that in mind, I wanted to post a great piece from Annie Leonard’s Story of Stuff – The story of bottled water –
In the past I’ve used reusable stainless steel or aluminum bottles for water, but I couldn’t help but notice that I didn’t care for the taste of the water. Last summer I started using a BPA free acrylic reusable to go tumbler and I love it! It’s sweat free, fits in my car cup holder and for some unknown reason I tend to drink a lot more water; it’s got to be the straw!
We just got in some new designs from Vessel Drinkware, my personal favorite is still the purple henna. I was excited to see that the ever popular mustache mug is now available in the reusable to go cup. Take a peek at the new designs and hopefully you will be inspired to kick the bottled water habit for good.

We love that everyday more people consider making their morning cup of coffee at home to save money or bring their cup with them to their local coffee shop to save the planet. The problem is finding a cool reusable coffee cup that you want to take with you. Most of the ones we have found our plain or covered with a corporate logo; or they are made of plastic that make our coffee taste horrible.
The search is over – we have found cool reusable coffee mugs made by Vessel Drinkware. Made of double-walled porcelain, these cups don’t require a coffee sleeve and my coffee tastes great. Add in the fact that they are dishwasher and microwave safe and the designs are cute, cool and a little funky – we are sold.
If you take a mug to your local coffee shop instead of using a to go cup, you will save 2555 trees every single year – pretty amazing. A lot of stores are now offering small discounts if you bring your own cup too.
