Product Pick of the Week: bkr Water Bottles
Now that spring is finally here and you’re getting in more outdoor activities, you definitely need a reliable water bottle to tote along, be it for your workout, afternoon errands, or even just to keep on your desk at work; getting in enough h20 is so important. I’m loving this glass and food grade silicone water bottle by bkr. The fact that its glass with a silicone sleeve, means no plastic aftertaste, and it’s easy to wash, even in the top rack of the dishwasher. Plus, I’m kind of obsessed with all the color choices – from pinks, to blues, to pastels the choices are endless and they seem to come out with new collections often. This bottle comes in various sizes ranging from 250ml to 1 L. To me it feels like fashion meets function – lots of fun colors to choose from and it looks and feels luxe — so you can stay hydrated, wherever!
