I’m in LOVE with my new bottles and think I’ve seriously found the perfect beverage bottle!  Lifefactory makes these glass bottles with silicone sleeves.  First of all, aren’t they cute?!  I have the orange, Eric has the midnight blue (although I’ve been using it – I’ll eventually surrender it to him) and I’m giving the green as a mother’s day gift.   There are so many reasons to love these bottles…

BPA free

Dishwasher safe!!!  – this may be my favorite part!  I’m SO sick of hand washing my Sigg Bottles   I don’t like washing one thing at a time, I prefer to wait until I can fill the sink for several items, but I hate having a messy kitchen and don’t like when my counter is filled with bottles waiting to be hand washed!

Large mouth – this means, for those of you that like ice, you can easily pack it full of ice.  I’m not a fan of ice so what excites me is that I can toss in slices of lemons or limes, or even fresh berries to make my water slightly fruit flavored!  that sure makes drinking your 8+ glasses of water each day a lot more exciting.  The wide mouth also makes them a lot easier to clean.  I drink a lot of green kamut and because it’s a powder made from greens, it sometimes leaves residue inside my bottle, meaning I can only put it in a bottle with a large enough mouth for me to get in there with a good scrub brush to make sure I get it all out.

Odor free – since the bottle is glass it will never develop an odor like plastic would – or even the stainless bottles seem to do – likely due to the coating inside that holds the smell.

220z – it doesn’t seem large in the sense of being a burden to carry around, but it does hold 22oz!  that’s nearly 3 of those 8 glasses of water you need for the day.  Sunday I drove to Michigan to try on my wedding dress so I filled up two bottles and they lasted me for the ride there and back – no need stop and purchase a plastic water bottle

and not that I’m in the market yet, but…someday…these baby bottles are just too cute and SO SAFE!
