This portable water bottle has some really unique features that can help you if you're one of those people who really loves your bottled water. Although it looks like clear plastic, it's really a plastic that's made of corn. It's biodegradable and earth-friendly, which definitely earns it coolness points. Beyond that, it has its own built-in water filter. Now, you can go for a run, stop at the nearest water fountain or garden hose, and not have to worry about what you're sucking down with your water. I think this is an extremely clever idea, and it's really good for moms on the go, who might need to mix up formula when they are away from the house.

This water filter purifies with a 1 micron level. It sets on the countertop, but it looks like the sort that mounts in and under a faucet. It's a really good quality water purifier, and it actually manages to make it a little stylish in the process.

This water pitcher has a neat feature that none of the other water filters have offered before. It dispenses flavor. I kicked caffeine last year, and I've been using drink mix packets ever since. But there are a couple of problems with this. First of all, I hate sparkling water. It's just odd to me. Second, I hate plain water almost as much. After years of Coke and Pepsi, I need something with a little flavor. Third, the drink mix packets are expensive. The kind I prefer is approximately 25 cents per packet. That's just too much!

I picked up one of these pitchers yesterday, and I have to say, it's pretty cool. You push the blue button for flavor, or just pour for regular water. The taste is great, and the cost is much lower than buying the packets.

I like this water filter because it dispenses the water from the bottom. Many are just pitchers, and you have to take it out of the fridge to pour yourself a glass. But with ones like this, you don't even need to do that, as long as it's positioned the right way. I think it's very easy to use, and ultimately, it's a good way to get your 8 glasses of water every day.
