Do you own (and use!) a reusable water bottle?

1 Answer

Answer :

I do! I have a metal one (it’s hot pink, light pink, and light green) since it’s been said that the plastic ones release bad toxins into your water. It’s pretty, I like it. =] Plus, it has a loop in the twist cap so I can hook it on whatever and take it with me anywhere. Very handy.
