A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by  Green’s Your Colour. They wanted to send me one of their bottles! I said yes because it sounded right up my ally! Which it was. Not only did they send me a really pretty coloured bottle but  Green’s Your Colour is perfect for my lifestyle! And probably yours if you are reading my blog!

Firstly they are a Canadian company! I love support Canadian products, especially in the health and fitness industy. Not only are they Canadian but they are also very local to me. Green’s Your Colour was founded by Sandy Costa in 2011. She realized that she wanted to design and manufacture her own line of products, which began with GYC bottles! She wanted to offer products that were safe and wanted to continue to promote sustainability.

They sent me a 500mL bottle in limited edition. You can find it here.

A little bit more about the bottles:

  • Triple Insulated Vacuum Technology.
  • Stainless Steel 18/8 (304) food grade inside & out.
  • Keeps temperatures hot for 8+ hours and cold for 36+ hours.
  • BPA Free, no toxic inner liner.
  • Sweat proof, leak proof, no leaching flavours of any sort.
  • Temperature of outer wall remains cool to the touch despite temperature inside of bottle.
  • Wide neck able to fit large ice cubes and easy to clean.
  • Small drinking spout for easy, clean, and comfortable consumption.
  • Carrying handle.
  • Screw-on lid attached to the bottle, won’t be misplaced and/or lost.
  • Comfortably fits into all standard sized cup holders.
  • Tea and ice strainer included.
  • Optional universal accessories (sports lid, deep tea strainer, fruit infuser basket and coloured lids - sold separately).
  • Designed and tested in Canada.
  • 1yr.  manufacturer’s warranty.

 

My favourite feature of the bottle is that it came with a tea strainer! That way I can use it for water and tea!! How cool is that! I was also really impressed with the quality of the bottle along with its aesthetics!

Thank you Green's Your Colour!

 

 

 

In a world thats filled with pollution, its so important that we do our part in keeping our environment safe! One of the best and most practical ways we can do so is by reducing our use of plastics and recycling every chance we get. I had the chance to try a Ion 8 water bottle. The Ion 8 water bottle isn't just any water bottle. According to their website, Ion8 band water bottle is,  "is impregnated with crystals that naturally have a magnetic force field. As water passes, this force field causes disruption in the water molecules, resulting in measurable electron shifts *. The disrupted water molecules take on a charge through this shift in electrons, and is ionized."

Ion 8 water bottles are also 100% leak proof (which is so important, nothing is worse than a leaky water bottle), are easy to use and keep your water hot or cold (depending on the original temperature of water used).

I had tried out the Ion 8 water bottle and it's super cute! Sometimes you need that extra initiative to drink more water and carrying around a cute, fashionable water bottle helps! However, the bottle is kind of small.

I personally didn't taste a difference in the water but that doesn't mean that it isn't working, I just didn't taste or notice much of a difference.

But if you're looking for a new water bottle with more benefits than the norm, you should give the Ion8 Water Bottle a try. Check them out here: http://www.ion8.co.uk

Health & Fitness Alert: Fuelshaker Pro Is the Next Step in Supplement Innovation

Alicia Bell - Cartoon - Personal Trainer

Fuelshaker introduced the new Fuelshaker Pro, a hybrid water bottle that features an innovative Fueler powder cartridge and push-button mixing system for sports supplements. Fuelshaker can be used as a water bottle to stay hydrated during the day, and then with a click of a button transforms to a shaker bottle to satisfy your on-the-go sports supplement needs whenever and wherever you want.

The specially designed fueler keeps your supplements dry and its turbine-shaped agitator mixes even the toughest of powders to ensure the best quality drink every time. With three simple steps, the Fuelshaker Pro can help fuel a healthier lifestyle. Fill the fueler with a workout supplement powder (like a protein drink mix or post-workout recovery), place the agitator on top to seal it shut and screw into the bottom of the cup … and you’re ready to go. Its 500ml/20 ounce capacity assures you have enough water for your workout, and the 50g/100cc capacity of the container means you have your ideal protein or sports supplement intake.

When it’s time for your supplement injection, simply flip the bottle upside-down, press the ejector button and give it a shake, your water is now transformed into a supplement enhanced beverage. If you need more, additional fuelers can be purchased separately. The used fuelers can be easily swapped out with a fresh, dry supplement store to ensure that you stay fueled all day.

The lids of the Fuelshaker Pro are designed with leak-proof technology. Once you screw the lid on the shaker cup, you don’t have to worry about the liquid inside leaking. Put it in your gym bag and use it whenever you’re ready … with no fear of liquid leaking on your workout gear or clean clothes.

The Fuelshaker Pro is constructed of durable, high-quality Tritan (BPA-free) plastic. It is top-rack dishwasher safe, meaning you don’t have to worry about washing by hand. With the open bottom end, you will have a clean cup after every run through the dishwasher.

The Fuelshaker Pro is available in two colors, blue or black, and retails online for $26.99. Visit www.fuelshaker.com for more info.

I am in love with the Swell Bottle! They are the best looking water bottle that I have come across in a long time! I so want one for the gym!
