Review: Hydro Flask 24 Oz Standard Mouth Water Bottle

I use this pretty much every day and I thought "Hey... why not review that." So if you were thinking of buying one of these... hopefully this helps.

I've had this water bottle... forever pretty much and as I said, I use it pretty much every day. It holds 24 ounces of water and because it is Stainless Steel, it keeps the water cold on the inside. And it'll keep it cold for a really long time too. I'd say it stays pretty cool for a day at least. Its really good that way.

It also does dent if you drop it. It won't break or anything, it just puts a dent in the bottle... so if that bothers you, then you might not like it. Doesn't really bother me. I'm not looking for the most beautiful water bottle ever... I just want it to get the job done.

The lid is slightly hard to open. It's a twist off, so it isn't the most difficult... but sometimes when I have this in the gym I drop the lid on the floor... so that gets a tiny bit annoying... but it does only take a second to remove and put back on. It also has a hole on the lid so you can hold it on your fingers... its not the easiest thing to hold though! Its kind of heavy because it is stainless steel... as I've said. You can throw this in your gym bag without really worrying about it opening up, the lid is pretty spill proof, I wouldn't leave an electronic device in with the water bottle if you have it like that though. That seems dangerous to me.

The website does have a lot of different styles and lids and sizes... so if you don't want something  really big and kind of hard to carry, you could get something different. If the lid is too hard to get out, they have other designs... so you can kind of customize this and find one that fits your needs. I like the 24 ounces because I don't need to refill that often and I like knowing how many ounces of water I've had throughout the day... but you can get smaller ones and keep track easily too.

The one thing that would maybe make me like "meh" is the price of it... because these can be pricey. The one I have is about $30... which seems like a lot for a water bottle... but this is a high quality water bottle. My sister got me this when it was on sale and I think they have sales often enough that you could probably find a deal on this... but I think its worth it. I like that its easy to carry, easy enough to get the lid on and off, and it keeps my water cold and  safe. And its not going to break or get dirty... so overall, I would definitely pay $30 for this if this one were to disappear or if I felt like I needed a second one or something.

I think these would make a great gift too. With Mother's Day and Father's Day coming up, this would be great. Especially if you know someone that works out a lot or just tries to drink a lot of water. Around Father's Day one year they had one with a Tie design on it... so my sister got that for my dad and he still uses it a lot. My dad has a few of these and he has them all around the house pretty much. Lol.

I also think you can find these on amazon... idk if they are cheaper or if they have bundles or anything... cause that would be nice... but yeah. Overall, this is a great product and you should check it out if you want to drink some more water or know someone that wants to!

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
