In a world consumed by buying products left and right, trying to find products actually worth our money using is a hard task. I know that we are all guilty of buying products and only using them once, so I looked into my daily life and tried to find the product I use constantly and could not live without.

The conclusion I came to when deciding on my most useful product was my handy dandy water bottle! I fill it up every morning, midday before practice, and at night. I can’t think of a day where I don’t have my emotional support water bottle by my side. It follows me to school, on the weekends, when I travel, and even around my house. I kid you not, this water bottle lurks in the corners of every photo because I love it so much. Not only are water bottles helpful to have around, but they are sustainable. 

The average person uses 167 plastic bottles per year but only recycles around 38 bottles. That’s a crazy number that we have gotten desensitized to. Listen to this crazy stat—it takes 3 times more water to manufacture one bottle of water than it does to fill it! In order to combat this issue in even the slightest way I possibly can, I have been using the same water bottle for the past 3 years. So not only am I being sustainable but also fashionable! 

I love my water bottle and I love to decorate it with fun stickers to give myself an incentive to keep using it! If I could recommend using one product daily, I would say my trusty water bottle! Let’s do better and start bringing our reusable water bottles to school!
