If you're like us, this year you've resolved to become that person in control of their salinity. To meet your daily water quota, emphasis on daily, and in so doing improve your memory function, mental health and energy levels and let your skin cells be great. To transform into vision-board you. As for how to actually accomplish this, a fashion-minded water bottle may be the answer.
Once upon a time, lugging around gargantuan water bottles was seen as the purview of bursting-backpacked middle schoolers and selfie-stick-having tourists. Not anymore. What with the news of valley-sized landfills and nanoplastics in bottled water, these days a stylish designer water bottle isn't just another great bag or desk accessory, it's a sign of environmental- and self-love.
Design-y water receptacles allow us to be more intentional about our H2O intake, which, for the record, should be about 11.5 cups per day for women, 15.5 for men. And as January 1 draws further away, a water bottle you're proud to be seen with can help you keep up the good behavior. After all, when it comes to maintaining resolutions, support and fun physical reminders are everything.
Perhaps it'll even have a halo effect over your other health routines. Will you invest in a multivitamin subscription? Drink less caffeine? Eat a rainbow? Time will tell, but we suspect your haute canteen will inspire other good ingestion deeds.
Now, where does one find an elegant water bottle? Everywhere, it seems. Storied fashion houses including Prada, Christian Dior, Givenchy and Versace have all entered the hydration game. Minimalists will appreciate Prada's sleek, refined stainless steel offering. Maximalists might prefer Versace's all-over crystal embellished travel cup, if they've got $770 to spare after all that holiday shopping.
And for those looking to get the job done for under $40, Georg Jensen's unique asymmetrical design or KINTO's artful two-tone take are sure to please. Not to mention those cult-favorite, 40-ounce, stainless-steel tanks known as Stanley cups come in some rather chic colorways.
