It is really hard for me to limit this post to just one favorite item. I guess that is the "struggle" with starting a new blog - an abundance of ideas just waiting to be shared. Somehow I am going to have to have the discipline to keep this to just one.
When traveling it is really tough to stay properly hydrated. In our normal every day life most of us struggle to drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day. Now add in the chaos of traveling and the dry recirculated air in the airplane and there is a very good chance that by time you touch down you are going to be parched.
Lets face it, the bottled water they serve on planes always tastes a little funky and now that you can't bring your own bottle of water from home your only real choice becomes the over priced bottles in the airport shops. I know this all seems very obvious but here is where my favorite product comes into play. S'well Bottles ( Check them out here! ) They. Are. The. Best. My S'well bottle might actually be my best purchase of 2013 and it travels everywhere with me.
I know. Right now you are probably thinking - seriously, did she just recommend a water bottle?
Yes I did. And here's why. On a quick one hour flight your 20oz bottle of water does the trick. But add in a 2 hour layover, a delayed flight and your travel time goes from "just one hour" to almost an entire day spent in the airport. That 20oz bottle of water isn't going to be enough so you've either splurged on the larger bottle or already had purchase another one (more little bottles = more $$ wasted on water). Who doesn't love warm water that has been sitting at the bottom of your bag all day. Not exactly refreshing.
Here's my trick. When I first get to an airport I pick up a large bottle of water and the first thing I do is fill my S'well and put it aside for later in my journey. This bottle will keep your water cold and refreshing for 24 HOURS!! That's right. The water I bought at 7am in Austin is still refreshing when I land at 1pm in Boston.
The awesomeness of this water bottle isn't contained to just travel days - it is fantastic for when you are working out, going on a hike, spending the day at the beach. You can literally leave this bottle in a hot car or on in direct sunlight all day and your water still stays cold. Amazing. They have all sorts of cute colors and are quite stylish as well.

Just remember to make sure your bottle is empty before going to the airport :)
