Keep Hydrated Using the ArtLife Half Gallon Water Bottle

Keeping hydrated is something that is very important in our house. My husband is a diabetic, and hydration is vital to his health, both internally and externally. So, I am always carrying drinks with us when we go places, but I don't like buying all those individual water bottles to use!

Having a good refillable water bottle is the answer for me. I like this new one we have from ArtLife Sports. It is a half gallon bottle that we can take with us pretty much anywhere and I can know we have some water along without relying on small water bottles or running out of a drink for my guy.

The bottle comes with a great wrist strap, making it easy to carry with you or to hang it up on a peg or chair back when camping or at the beach. I love that it is made from an FDA approved, BPA free plastic. It's safe for any beverage we choose to put in it.

The lid is super easy to take off and put on, with a big opening. You don't have to use a funnel to fill this bottle! The lid stays snug and secure, and has not dripped one bit! The smaller "snap" opening to drink from opens with just a flip and is not hard to open even with arthritic fingers. That's a big one in our house since both my husband and I have arthritis in our hands.

One thing I like is the really big handle on the side. It is so easy to get a tight grip on this big bottle when carrying it full. I don't have to think about it slipping out of my hand from condensation. By the way, it doubles nicely for a weight in your hands as you are walking because of that big handle!

The ArtLife Sports water bottle comes in 14 different colors (mine is Tritan Sky Blue) and two styles, so it would be handy for each person in your family to have their own color. This is a nice non-insulated water bottle, and it is  dishwasher safe.

Do You Have A Siphon Hose?

This may be something none of you would think I would tell you about, but I have mentioned in the past that I love to be prepared for all kinds of emergencies. Well this product is something that works just for that and more.

What is this product? The Super Easy Siphon Hose. You may be thinking why on earth would you need one, but believe me, you should have one.

A siphon hose is something that helps you take liquid from one place and put it in another. You may have seen people do it on TV or in movies by taking gas from cars to put in theirs. But a siphon hose can be used for a lot of things. They can be used for siphoning water, home brewing needs and other food uses around your house or in your place of business. You can use a siphon hose for working with gardening with hydroponics and working with your aquarium. It can also be used for a multitude of fuels such as gasoline, diesel, or fuel oil.

This siphon hose is a 6' FDA grade poly tubing that has a special brass fitting on one end and open tube on the other. It is made of really good quality materials and made to last for a long time! The hose will not react to fuel being put in it repeatedly and will hold up well. And it is super easy to use. No need to suck on one end to get the flow of the liquid to start.

Here's how you use it. You place the end with the brass fitting in the place you want to take the liquid out of. Then you place the other end in the container you want to transfer the liquid to. You need to make sure the container you are transferring the liquid to is lower than the one you are taking the liquid out of. Once the hose is in place you simply shake the end with the brass fitting 2-3 times to get the liquid to start flowing. Inside the brass is a small marble that helps cause a suction effect to pull the liquid up into the hose. Once the liquid is flowing it will continue until the one container is empty or you stop the flow by removing the hose. Easy and so much safer than doing it other ways!

You may think you do not need a siphon hose, but there are many, many reasons for having one and it is something you should keep in you vehicle emergency kit or if you are a prepper, in your bug out bag. I was impressed with this siphon hose and I know it will come in handy. One small warning though, once you use the hose for fuel do not use it for any kind of food application. I would suggest having two of these, one for water and one for fuel and clearly mark which one is which.

Love The Fruit On The Bottom ~ Only One Small Problem With It!

I love having fruit infused water. There is something about the fresh flavor and the fact I know exactly what is in my drink. It's much lower in calories and the combination of flavors is only limited to my imagination!

Live Infinitely has a fantastic Forever Fused Fruit Infusion Water Bottle. I really like this bottle a lot.

First and the best thing about the water bottle is the basket to hold the fruit. It's at the bottom! I love that. That means that the fruit stays in contact with the water until the last drop. Most infuser water bottles have the basket attached at the top, and as you drink the water, the fruit loses contact with the water. Keeping the fruit in the water as long as possible only makes sense to me!

It's super easy to use the water bottle too. The 25 oz bottle has a screw top and a screw bottom. The bottom unscrews and that is what the basket is attached to. To fill the basket, simply unscrew it, fill it with your fruit, and screw it back in place. Fill the bottle with water and place the bottom back on. Or you could place it back on and then fill it from the top. Here's another neat thing about it, the top and bottom lids fit both ends. So you don't have to worry which one came off of where.

The lid of the bottle has a really nice little loop in it that you finger(s) can fit in comfortably to carry it along with you while you walk. The inside of the loop is coated with a rubber coating so it is comfortable to keep you fingers in it for quite a while.

I think the only thing this bottle is missing is an opening to drink from other than having to unscrew the top and take it off. I really wish it had a sipper opening or straw, something, other than having to completely open it every time you want to drink. You almost have to stop walking or driving the car to drink from it, making it a bit awkward.

But, I still like the bottle and love the basket on the bottom!!

So Many Wonderful Options To Choose From

Ever have a sprayer for your hose that just does not work well? It leaks, dribbles, is hard to operate and the settings on it are hard to figure out or just don't work. I have had many that have been like that.

The Careful Gardener Garden Hose Nozzle/ Spray Gun so far has not been one of those sprayers! I have been very impressed with how well this sprayer has been working. It is made very well. I know, I dropped it several times on our concrete drive and not a ding or chip anywhere and it is still working.

There are a total of 9 different water spray options and each one works well. The side of the nozzle has the name of the spray clearly identified. It's very easy to change from one spray pattern to another.

I love the Shower and Mist for most of my watering, but I really like the Angle option for reaching up and over the edge of hanging baskets without having to finagle my hands or the sprayer. The water just sprays down at an angle making it really easy to get the water where you want instead of all over the place. It helps especially being able to use less water to get the job done.

The blast setting is really good for working on dirt and debris build up on our siding, the car (especially the tires) and on our concrete drive. Trying the different settings has been nice and figuring out where best to use them. The option of so many settings makes this sprayer very versatile!

The handle and spray trigger are very comfortable and even with the arthritis in my hands I don't tire using it. It does not take a lot of strength to pull the trigger and continue holding it. The rubber coating on both the handle and spray help keep your hands securely in place even when sweaty and if they get wet.

I also like the little water pressure control knob. I can regulate the amount of water for each job without having to go back to the spigot on the side of the house. Less steps and less time, making the jobs go faster and easier.

This is the best sprayer I have ever tried and I have tried a lot. Very happy with it and can highly recommend it to you!
