Over the years I had accumulated a rather large collection of water bottles; the classic Nalgene bottles, stainless steel bottles in every size, and the odd Tupperware bottle. Suddenly I found myself without a single bottle, besides the lone plastic Tupperware bottle that had been around for eons. Between losing lids, throwing them out because they were old, or forgetting them places my collection had whittled down to nothing. Being a fitness gal, this was a major problem. I need water and must have it with me everywhere I go.

So I set off to find a brand new bottle, which proved to be a challenge. I looked at every store in town and also asked peeps on my Facebook page what they recommended. Maybe I'm just too picky but my water bottle is something I'll use countless times a day, so it must be perfect. I'm not a fan of plastic, I don't like large openings (I'm a spilly drinker), I'm not a child and don't want a sippy spout, and it needs to fit in my purse. I searched and searched...for a couple months.
