Glass Water Bottles for Everyday Use
I’m sure there are many people like me who drink endless amounts of water and need a good water bottle to carry around for everyday use. I have always hated plastic bottles, but even more so when I start tasting plastic flavoured water. I spent a long time searching for a water bottle that was….
1 – not made with plastic
2 – not made in China
Although the first point wasn’t too difficult to find, the second point certainly was. I though stainless steel would be the best choice for me since it doesn’t transfer flavours into liquids but then I thought they wouldn’t work well while biking during hot days. I then decided to try and find a glass water bottle that wasn’t made in China and one that would have a protective out layer to absorb bumps.
I found several beautiful designs by TAKEYA (click below to see their products)

I really wanted the lovely powder blue water bottle, I never got around to buying it 🙁
During our holiday in DC, we went into a Whole Foods for the first time and like many others, I fell in love with the place. I also found a very pretty glass water bottle that has a silicon protective shell, which was exactly what I was looking for!
This one was made by LifeFactory
(see their products here: https://www.mihosuzuki.com/lifefactory-product-list)
and I absolutely love it. It has little markings for both ounces and millilitres, so I know exactly how much I’m drinking and helps for mixing drinks. I’m hoping this one works well when it’s warmer for bike rides!
Valentine’s Day – Even Fish Need Love
Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! For those of you celebrating Anti-Valentine’s Day, I hope you have a fun time tonight too!
As for our home, we plan a fun day out and quiet night in. So that our fish doesn’t feel left out, we made a simple kirigami heart. He seems to like it *^_^*
To make your own Valentine’s Day kirigami, check out my post for a kirigami heart mobile.
Unusual Find – Gretzky’s Green Tea
The name Wayne Gretzky is perhaps one of the more famous ones when thinking of Canadians -for those of you who don’t know who he is, here’s his bio.
Since he’s pretty much a symbol of hockey and Canada, I was curious to find this:
When it comes to Canadians, I think David Suzuki would make more sense on a green tea package, especially if it’s organic and the package is made of all recycled materials…….and before anyone asks, no, we are not related.
One Good Thing a Day – Project Day 85 – Unusual Winter
The weather is unusually warm for this time of year in Toronto, but I won’t complain since it’s quite pleasant to go out for a walk by the lake (still a bit cold for biking).
I love feeding the birds since many of them are very brave to come close up. The goose on the left even stole half a plain bagel from my hand (!)
We try to be covert with our feeding, or else the seagull reconnaissance team will give us away and this will happen:
One Good Thing a Day – Project Day 84 – Charles Xavier Betta
We got a betta fish today and named it Charles Xavier -yes, just like X-Men. I hope in the future, we can continue along in our geeky manner and get a dog named him Wolverine *^_^*
One Good Thing a Day – Project Day 83 – First Solid Snowfall
I was looking forward to a Canadian winter and have been sadly disappointed this year. At least we did get some snow……but nothing that actually lasts more than a day. This winter actually feels more like a Tokyo winter!
