i drink a gallon of water a day. okay, most days. sometimes i fall short, but i always aim to hit that gallon. staying hydrated is extremely important to me! i get chronic UTIs (TMI?) and the only way to really prevent them is to drink a ton of water.
i always have a water bottle by my side. whether it be at my desk, in my car, at the gym, or at home, i always have a water bottle close. and yes, i have water bottles coming out my ears. that is one item that i really believe you can’t have too many of… right there with hoodies, miniature spoons and scarves. of course, that’s my opinion. marshall may tell you otherwise. (i am trying to keep those pesky collections at bay…)
anyway, when i try come up with ideas for christmas gifts to give, i always think of gifts i would like to receive. of COURSE a water bottle comes to mind. i can’t get enough of them!
you guys know i rave about contigo water bottles, and it’s true that they are my favorite. however, there are other brands of water bottles out there. i know, what a surprise! you wouldn’t think i knew this from the way i talk about contigo.
i was recently contacted by thermos and they asked if i would like to try out the new under armour hydration bottle featuring thermos vacuum insulation technology. who am i to turn down a water bottle? of course i took it.
i do like thermos bottles and have used them before. their insulation technology really does keep fluids cold for twelve hours.
the flip top with locking ring keeps germs our when you are on the go. there is also a flip up carrying loop.
and the push-button technology (complete with under armour logo) pops the top off for handy drinking capabilities.
the lid is made of BPA free plastic and screws off. the bottle itself is made of unbreakable stainless steel. it holds 18 ounces of fluid. the bottle is also leak proof.
this under armour bottle is available online or at dick’s sporting goods. it is $27.99 on the website. it would make such a great gift for literally anyone! everybody needs to drink!
i mentioned that i will be hosting a giveaway with each and every gift spotlight i post between now and christmas. here’s your chance to win an under armour bottle of your own (OR to give as a gift!)

so.. i am still in my PJs and it’s 4:27! yikes. i woke up feeling super sick in my throat/sinuses so i have taken it easy. i did put all my summer clothes into storage so at least i have been somewhat productive.
i am feeling a bit better, though, so i think i will head to the gym for a light lower body workout. only a few more days until my exercise restriction is over.
hope you are enjoying your weekend!
xo. janetha g.

Literally the ONLY thing on my Christmas list is teacher clothes – I graduate in June with my master’s and will need to look my best to go out and get a job!
The one thing on my list that I HAVE to have is a food processor. I can’t wait to use it to make homemade hummus!
My Christmas wish list in a dream world is a apple laptop. I am ready to stop the PC madness.
In reality, I just want to get my parents and brother and me together. Which the way things are going with our schedules may be more difficult to finagle than a pricy computer…
On my list is John Green’s newest book! Maybe a dress or two, too! Cold weather means nothing to me.
I used to have the plastic version of this, and it was amazing! Until I lost the seal in the lid… that was a messy day! haha. I REALLY want a Garmin or some sort of running watch :)
on my christmas list this year? A GARMIN!
I still need to pick up the contigo! Costco sells them, I think 2 for 19.99? I’ve been lusting over an anthropology shower curtain!

I really really really want a blender/food processor! When we got married 3 years ago I wasn’t into smoothies, etc so I have a crappy cuisinart one. I know my family can’t afford a vitamix, so I’m asking for a ninja. I want it right now so bad! :)

a hulu subscription so i can catch up on Fringe!
All I want for Christmas is a new pair of running shoes :)

WOW, that AMAZING that you drink a gallon of water a day. You’re probably so much healthier for it. I can barely get in a few glasses. For Christmas I want a new set of makeup brushes!
Whoo – what an awesome giveaway, Janetha! Seriously…I’m with you in the water bottle collection camp. I think they’re always good to have on hand, but most of mine are more “meh” than “alright!” I could definitely use a good one!
For Christmas I’d love a treadmill…but I think since we need a new car much more. ;) Still – I know I’d use it and have been secretly looking for really cheap-o ones – the weather’s already pretty brutal and it’s just going to get worse! …a girl can dream. ;) Oh – and I’m always game for some tubes of nuun or a new headband for my dreads!
For Christmas I would like an iHome ipod alarm clock/radio system. I’ve recently found apps that play soothing sleep noises so I need a new iHome set-up to connect my ipod/iphone to!
I would like a pair of boots for Christmas.
honestly, i just want time away from school/studying to relax! but i do need some more running shorts… :)
My wish list is full of new exercise DVDs being released next month; new ones from Jackie Warner, Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels- I want them all! Once the colder weather sets in, I don’t make it to the gym as often, so I like to keep a good variety of DVDs at home.
I really want new bakeware.
They are really old and I am tired of the layer of tin foil I use under everything.
The main thing on my Christmas list is a new interview suit for my medical school interviews. I, like you, am addicted to water bottles.

I want a new point and shoot camera!! My current one is pretty old school.

I want a plae ticket to Montana
I really really want a warm patagonia jacket :)
I’m dying for a Garmin, but refuse to get one until I’m faster. So I’m hoping all my hinting (aka whining) will wear down my boyfriend and I will get one :)

Those water bottles are great – it would make a great gift for my little sister! Personally, all I want for Christmas is a new pair of Berkenstocks…my pup (she’s lucky she’s cute) ate my last pair *sigh*
