H - 2 - Eco

I'm obsessed with my metal water bottles - I save a serious ton of money instead of buying water, plus the toxins from the eroding plastic of the bottles aren't getting into my system via my overpriced water. Instead, I drink tap via funny, cute, and functional little carrying cases.



Bonus: drinking tap from these re-usable H2O bottles is super eco-friendly - not using harmful plastic not only doesn't create mounds of trash, but if the demand for these things decreases, that means less harmful chemicals coming from the factories too - woo hoo!



SIGG was my go-to brand for a while - they sell them lots of places, including Whole Foods, plus the online store has some nice design options. The prices range from about $18 to $30 - but it'll pay for itself in a few days!



Now, though, I have lost a few, so I have been heading to Target for new bottles - they're usually a little cheaper (I got one for $2 once!) and, lately at least, I have liked the designs available at the Targ more than what SIGG has to offer.



Plus, there is currently an interesting Threadless & Thermos "Artist Series" water bottle project going on at the bargain spot. Old Threadless t-shirt designs have found a way to reinvent themselves on water bottles (as well as lunch boxes, etc. at their own website)





I just got this one from the collection for just $14.99:



It's called "Funkalicious," natch.

Go eco-friendly and save some cheddar - buy a cool, re-usable water bottle stat!

Peace & Love, and bottoms up!

Creepin

The SNL digital short this week, "The Creep," was a huge success: not only were the dance and visuals pretty hilarious, but it became something I actually want on my ipod with Nicki Minaj's signature raw, yet candy-coated, sound and clever rhymes. So fun!

Check it:



So, Peace & Love, and do The Creep!

Happy 2011!

Having just returned from a little trip Down Under, aka Sydney, Australia, aka beaches, tanning, and summertime in the southern hemisphere, I am totally in the spirit of the sunny season (more to come on Sydney later)!


When it comes to swimwear, I'm definitely more of a bikini girl myself, but when I saw this adorable, retro-influenced one piece suit by Marysia Swim, I had to give it a quick post.


This is my absolute favorite neckline, and the slightly angled black panels give the illusion of a more hourglass-y figure.  Sure, the price tag is kind of heavy (a whopping $229 for a swimsuit), but if you're the type to be resort-ing all winter, then you should get plenty of bang for your buck wearing this one-piece all season!

Peace & Love,
