I’ve been carrying this pink Owala FreeSip Twist everywhere for the past month, and it’s become such a constant companion that I almost forget it wasn’t always part of my daily routine. The color is this soft, muted pink that somehow goes with everything—it looks cute on my desk, doesn’t clash with my work bag, and even adds a little cheer to my kitchen counter.

What really won me over was the drinking experience. The FreeSip lid lets you either sip through a straw or take a quick gulp from the spout, which is perfect for when I’m rushing between meetings or just lounging on the couch. I didn’t expect the insulation to be quite this good—I filled it with ice water before heading out for errands yesterday, and when I got home hours later, there were still ice cubes clinking around inside. It turned out better than I thought, honestly.

The slim profile means it fits in my car’s cup holder without a fuss, and the carry loop makes it easy to hook onto my tote. At around $31, it felt like a reasonable splurge for something I use multiple times every day. If you’re curious about this little hydratin hero, you can view product here. It’s one of those simple upgrades that just makes life a bit smoother.
