I always start my day with a
\ncup of coffee. But once I settle into my work, I switch to water. At
\nfirst, I just used a regular glass from my cupboard, but I quickly
\nrealized it was too small. I was constantly interrupting my work to
\nrefill it. And let’s be real, I often didn’t bother refilling it at
\nall.<\/p>\n

I
\ndiscovered a simple solution already lurking in my cupboard: reusable
\nwater bottles. I fill them with filtered tap water and keep them in
\nthe fridge for a steady supply of cold water throughout the day. No
\nmore need to constantly refill and no more dry, itchy skin.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I
\nstarted using my water bottles even when I was on the go. As much as
\nI love the occasional soda, most are not allergy-friendly. So I opt
\nfor ice water instead. That’s when I fell in love with my metal
\nGrosche reusable water bottle. (You can learn more about my favorite reusable stainless steel insulated Grosche insulated water bottle here.<\/a>)<\/b><\/span>
\n(Disclosure: I am including affiliate links for your convenience.<\/i>)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Insulated<\/a><\/div>\n

And it’s pink!<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n

\u00a0Even
\non scorching hot days, my water stays cold. But thing that makes me
\ngrab it first is that Grosche reusable water bottles have a chug cap
\nwhich is less likely to spill than an open top. I even switched my 24
\nounce Nalgene reusable water bottle from a wide mouth cap to a chug cap. The nice thing about
\nusing a name brand water bottle is being able to buy replacement caps
\nwhen they wear out. I\u2019ve had to replace the tops to some of my
\nwater bottles three times due to wear.<\/p>\n

Recently,
\nI’ve been eyeing a larger insulated 32 ounce bottle to add to my
\ncollection. During a cupboard clean out, I found <\/b><\/a>this exact 32 ounce wide mouth Nalgene reusable water bottle<\/b><\/a><\/span>, but
\nit isn’t insulated. And let’s just say that drinking from a
\nwide-mouth Nalgene cap often leads to a not-so-fun shower. Luckily, I
\ndiscovered that a regular 24 ounce chug lid fits perfectly on the
\nbigger bottles (you can buy replacement Nalgene caps like mine here<\/b><\/a><\/span>.) So instead of splurging on a pricey Hydro
\nflask, I bought a new chug lid and insulated bottle sleeve for a
\nfraction of the cost. I bought my 24 ounce and 32 ounce Nalgene insulated water bottle sleeves here<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

I pinned a badge to each water bottle to keep me from drinking the drawstring by accident<\/i><\/center>
\u00a0<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n

That
\nleft my Aladdin reusable water bottle as the only water bottle in the
\nfridge that wasn\u2019t insulated and because of that, I didn\u2019t use it
\nas often. Luckily, I found an insulated Neoprene reusable water
\nbottle sleeve at IKEA and boom! I insulated my last reusable water bottle for cheap. (You can buy insulating reusable water bottle sleeve similar to mine here<\/a><\/b><\/span>.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/a><\/div>\n

Save this idea to your Pinterest boards for later! Share it with your friends!<\/i>
<\/center><\/p>\n

Now
\nhave three insulated reusable water bottles with chug caps that cost
\nless than the single Hydroflask I was thinking about buying.<\/p>\n

Don’t
\nget me wrong, I’m not knocking Hydroflask. My husband has this exact stainless steel insulated Hydroflask water bottle <\/a><\/b><\/span>and loves it. I’m just super stoked that I
\ncould upgrade something I already had into something I really wanted.
\nYay!<\/p>\n
