bobble: Eco-Friendly Water Bottle

-
If there's one health advice that I take to heart, it's the one that tells us to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I love drinking water, especially on such warm days, if only I can carry a 1.5L bottle around, I would. I'm glad though that water here in Singapore is very potable as some would even drink straight from the faucet.

Well, growing up in a country where we're used to boiled, filtered or distilled water, it might take a while for me and my body to work up the courage to drink from the tap. Especially when the thought of having recurring amoebiasis continues to haunt me every now and then.

Healthy Body, Happy Life

Eversince the BIG move, Paul and I have been consciously staying away from sodas. As inviting as a cold can of soda may look after walking outdoors all afternoon, we would resort to grabbing a cold glass of ice water instead. It has zero calories and no sugar yet it cools us just perfectly fine the same way a soda would. A win-win choice in my books.

Like what I've mentioned, lugging around a 1.5L bottle is quite challenging given that we walk and commute everyday. Thus, we have been searching for handy, easy-to-carry water bottles for the office.

It was indeed a blessing when a package arrived one day with this sexy looking water bottle inside. Guess, someone heard our thoughts and decided to grant us our wish. Thank you! This water bottle, in fact, has a name. It's called bobble and it's an eco-friendly water bottle that was designed by industrial artist Karim Rashid. Notice how well-curved the bottle is? This helps make it easier to grip and to storage in your bag pocket.

What makes bobble unique is the inclusion of these replaceable and recyclable carbon filter that purifies your water and removes all unwanted chlorine and organic contaminants. I see it like having your very own mini filtration system in a bottle. To ensure that your carbon filter works perfectly, be sure to replace this after 300 use that's about 10 months if you use it every single day.

The bobble is available in six yummy colors : green, red, blue, yellow (as seen above), magenta and black. It comes in only one size which is 550ml (Php. 595) and you may also purchase additional filters (Php. 345) too.

Washing your bobble is very easy too! Simple clean and soap the bottle and rinse the filter under running water. While the bobble is BPA free, it's not dishwasher friendly and the best way to clean this is through hand-washing. Here's a more detailed guide on how to keep your bobble squeaky-clean!

bobble is available in active lifestyle retail shops and establishments like Aura Athletica, Plana Forma, Planet Sports, Urban Ashram. Click here for the complete listing of shops where you can get your own bobble water bottle.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
