not a waterbottle ad

from evy's notebook

I got a new water bottle and I've been drinking so much more water. Who'd have guessed it could make such a difference? This post isn't sponsored, but my friends say it should be.

Here's why I love my brümate:

(1) it has a straw

I have been told I don't have great body awareness. I don't know how I stack up to others, but I would say I used to spill water on myself at least once a week. It takes some amount of concentration to drink water without spilling, and I didn't realize this was stopping me from drinking water. But it was. And now it's not.

My brümate has a steel straw that sits in the water, and a silicon top with a mouthfeel that a friend compared to sucking on a nipple.

And I don't have to worry about water spilling through the straw when I toss it in my bag, because the lid can turn to create a perfect seal.

(2) it's dishwasher safe

I don't like hand-washing things. I've often avoided using a water bottle because it seemed a little grimy or moldy and I didn't want to clean it. Could I have put it in the dishwasher? I don't know! Definitely not after putting all those stickers on it.

My brümate has a detachable lid and straw that I can throw in the dishwasher, and if I choose to sticker the body I can wash that crevice-free part by hand.

(3) one last thing

There are other selling points -- keeping drinks cold for 24h, having a nice handle while still being cup-holder friendly, being a pretty color -- but much more than these, I love that brümate has an ü in it. And you better believe I pronounce it that way every time.
