Everydrop Water Filter (+ a giveaway!)

[This post is sponsored from Whirlpoolยฎ Water. Of course, all opinions are my own. Read on for more details + a giveaway for a lucky reader to get their own EveryDropโ„ข Water Filter + a $100 gift card!] 
 
I’ve gotten away from my number-focused ways. There was a time when I counted calories judiciously, knew my weight and body fat percentage, and recorded various numbers in a notebookโ€ฆ or let them run wild in my brain. I haven’t weighed myself for months (and prefer to go by how my clothes fit) and no longer keep track of all the little details. The only thing I track now is something that has a huge impact on my skin, energy levels and metabolism: water intake. I have a big Nalgene bottle (32 oz.) and make sure I fill it at least three times throughout the day. (You need 96 oz. of water a day to live– more if you’re active!) Everydrop  1 of 1 4

I always have my water bottle with me, and pack one up for Livi too since she loves to drink water all day. Even when I travel, I’ll put an empty large water bottle in my backpack and fill it once I get through security. It’s better than buying plastic bottles, and this way, I have a water bottle for my trip. Here’s the thing, though: when I travel, the water kind of sketches me out. I’m always hearing about different things that can be found in the water system -ok, and I was traumatized when I read an article about some things that were found in Tucson- so I always figure: the more filtration, the better. Needless to say, I was pretty excited when Whirlpool Water offered to send me an EveryDrop Water Filter to try out. It was much smaller than I imagined, Everydrop  1 of 1 and came in a cute travel case. Everydrop  1 of 1 2 I quickly assembled it, and couldn’t wait to try it out: Everydrop  1 of 1 3 Something that surprised me was how quickly the water came out! It would be so easy to use this between a public water fountain and my bottle. Everydrop  1 of 1 5 In reality, I don’t see myself carrying it around with us all the time -I have too much to lug around as is -but it is definitely something I’ll use while traveling. If you’d like to win your own + a $100 Visa gift card, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post with techniques you use to drink more water. I have a few in this post, but my all-time favorite is to infuse it with fresh fruit and herbs.  You can get up to two entries by completing any of the methods below!

    carry around a water bottle at work

  2. Natasha on November 7, 2013 at 6:17 pm

    I love warm water with lemon or lime. Cold water is good too ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Janet on November 7, 2013 at 7:27 pm

    i bought a water bottle I love and don’t mind lugging around with me everywhere. It’s this one: http://www.hydroflask.com/products/hydro-flask-insulated-coffee-tea-and-water-bottle-18oz

  4. Emily on November 7, 2013 at 9:03 pm

    I’m a huge coffee addict sometimes in the afternoon I’ll drink plain hot water. It makes me think I’m having some hue with the hot mug, and it’s a sneaky way to drink more water.

  5. Livi on November 7, 2013 at 9:26 pm

    that water filter looks awesome!

  6. Bethany on November 7, 2013 at 10:12 pm

    I’ve been doing a 10 day cleanse to get ready for our ball…..and drinking a ton more water…over a gallon a day….and I feel fantastic, I used to drink diet soda…but now I feel so much less bloating, that I’m going to keep at this, I just fill a water bottle all day long, and keep it by myside. I’m just doing a clean eating clease…btw, no processed food…just good for you, whole foods…loving it!

  7. lisa on November 7, 2013 at 10:44 pm

    I use a water bottle with 24 ounces and fill it 4 times while at work. I do not allow myself to drink anything else and if I do have a tea, then I add another water bottle to the mix. My skin is clearer and I no longer have headaches since I started this practice. Thanks for the focus on the importance of drinking clean water! xoxo

  8. Tracy on November 7, 2013 at 11:35 pm

    I used to drink a ton of Crystal Light (bad I know!!) but now I go to Circle K and fill my cup with ice water! For some reason it is better in a styrofoam cup! ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Cassie on November 8, 2013 at 1:07 am

    My trick to drinking more water is to always keep my water bottle within arms reach!

  10. Amanda on November 8, 2013 at 8:35 am

    Carry your water bottle around with you every where you go. Add fruit. Drink it at room temperature instead of ice cold because you can drink more. ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. Erika on November 8, 2013 at 9:35 am

    Drinking it with lots of ice seems to help me. I’ve cut back on pop a lot lately and it saves a lot of money as well!

    I like my water in a glass bottle at room temperature. When a want something more flavorful I toss in an herbal tea bag with a squeeze of lemon.

  13. Crystal @ TriFoodieMD on November 8, 2013 at 12:32 pm

    Adding a Nuun tablet enhances the flavor of plain water.

  14. Brianna K. @ Hungry Gator Gal on November 8, 2013 at 1:56 pm

    I carry my 32-ounce Nalgene bottle with me everywhere I go in order to drink enough water throughout the day. I challenge myself to drink one whole bottle every two hours!

  15. Brianna K. @ Hungry Gator Gal on November 8, 2013 at 1:57 pm
  16. D Schmidt on November 8, 2013 at 2:48 pm

    We just moved across country to a new home that is on well water so this would be great to use at home, on camping trips and definitely when staying in hotels because I often question water quality!

  17. D Schmidt on November 8, 2013 at 2:48 pm
  18. Mary D on November 8, 2013 at 6:47 pm

    I chug a glass before each meal.

  19. Jessie C. on November 8, 2013 at 11:20 pm

    Add a slice of lemon helps to drink more water.

  21. Stephanie @ Legally Blinde on November 8, 2013 at 11:28 pm

    I also try to carry a water bottle with me almost all the time, and when I’m at home I like to mix a fruit-flavored nutrient and vitamin packet into my Nalgene (plus some ACV). I’ve also found that drinking water out of my to-go cold beverage cup (with a straw) helps me to drink water faster. Guess screwing and unscrewing my water bottle lid can be too taxing sometimes!

  22. Erika on November 9, 2013 at 4:54 am

    I always carry around a water bottle wherever I go. I love to infuse water with lemon and herbs.

  23. Lynn on November 9, 2013 at 8:32 am

    I carry a big water bottle with me everywhere so I am constantly reminded to drink. In the evenings I also drink herbal tea which I love and it’s so soothing!

  24. Wendy on November 9, 2013 at 10:57 am

    I carry my 750 ml water bottle everywhere. I fill it at least 4 times each day, using a rubber band to help me remember how many times I have filled it. Usually I try to drink 750 ml on my way to work, and another 750 ml on the way home.

  25. rachel on November 9, 2013 at 11:04 am

    Make it a habit. Try to drink a glass before lunch and a glass after. Just do it.

  26. Susan Smith on November 9, 2013 at 2:46 pm

    I try to drink more water by carrying a bottle of water with me when I’m out and about.

  27. Susan Smith on November 9, 2013 at 2:47 pm
  28. Emily on November 9, 2013 at 4:04 pm

    I always have a water bottle with me, and I keep track of how many times I have refilled it throughout the day!

  29. Cara on November 9, 2013 at 7:54 pm

    I recently bought a high-end glass water bottle and feel super fancy when I drink from it, so it encourages me to drink more!

  30. Mary on November 9, 2013 at 9:42 pm

    I keep a cup of water close by at all times. Plus, refilling it (and going to the bathroom) all the time is a good way to make sure I get up from my desk at work frequently!

  31. Rachel @ Eat, Learn, Discover! on November 10, 2013 at 11:00 am

    I like to carry a water bottle with me everywhere! Also, when i get sick of water I like to drink herbal tea. Iced in the summer, hot in the winter. I find it harder to drink enough water when the weather is colder, so i often switch to warm/ hot water or tea in the winter.

  32. Ilene on November 10, 2013 at 3:58 pm

    I make sure to carry a reusable water bottle around with me everywhere I go, especially when I travel since I tend to drink much less water then!

  33. Crystal on November 10, 2013 at 5:01 pm

    It helps me to add sliced cucumbers and lemon. Also, I use a tervis tumbler that’s 24 oz, so I try to drink 3 while at work, and another 2 at night ๐Ÿ™‚

  34. Michelle on November 10, 2013 at 7:11 pm

    I am sure to always have my water bottle close! When I want to mix it up – I’ll add in lemons and limes.

  35. Leah on November 10, 2013 at 7:38 pm

    Just having access to water at all times means that I’m going to drink more of it. So I try to carry water with me everyone!

  36. Pua on November 10, 2013 at 7:43 pm

    My husband and I decided to pay for a water cooler in our home. I thought he (my hubs) was crazy when he suggested it, but we end up drinking a lot more water! I’d love something like this for my office.

  37. Pua on November 10, 2013 at 7:46 pm
  38. ah on November 10, 2013 at 8:34 pm

    I desperatley need this. Our well water has became unbearable to drink without filtering the water.

  39. Leah on November 11, 2013 at 2:22 pm

    I go through so much water everyday!

  40. Tina M on November 12, 2013 at 1:41 am

    I carry a water bottle with me

  41. Jadine Kadie Linsangan on November 12, 2013 at 1:56 am

    For the everyday person who’s on the ‘go’, drinking fancy water or infused water just isn’t possible.
    When I know I have to reach a goal because I’m dehydrated or behind on H2O, I take a paper cup with a lid and tally off how many cups of water I’m drinking. I usually sip/gulp through the straw because I feel that it’s faster and the tally marks are right in front of my face as I drink.

  42. Mandy on November 12, 2013 at 12:39 pm

    I use a gurgle pot at home (it is shaped like a fish and gurgles when you pour it) although I am 28, it still makes me smile everytime I use it. I also have a nalgene bottle at work so that I do not have to get up 15 times a day to get more water.

  43. Debbie B on November 12, 2013 at 10:57 pm

    i keep a big water bottle at my desk and sip on it all throughout the day at work

  44. Debbie B on November 12, 2013 at 10:58 pm
  45. Kelly Massman on November 13, 2013 at 7:51 pm

    We would definitely use this on our vacations! thanks kmassman gmail

  46. Katie M on November 13, 2013 at 8:01 pm

    The best way to ensure that I drink enough water is for me to carry my water bottle with me everywhere in my hand. If I have it in my hand, then I remember to drink. Plus, to lighten the load that I am carrying, I need to drink more!

  47. Katie M on November 13, 2013 at 8:03 pm
  48. Ashley H. on November 14, 2013 at 7:18 am

    I bring a reusable water bottle to work everyday.
