I’m totally taking this Hint…
A funny thing happened the other week in Portland. And by funny, I mean really unfortunate and pretty gross: We had a “boil your water” warning issued throughout the city because our local reservoir tested positive for e. coli bacteria. Charming. And super inconvenient. And yucky all around. Jacob and I were forced to boil enough water to clean produce, cook dinner, wash dishes, and brush our teeth. It made me feel pretty darn spoiled to live in a place where that’s considered a once-in-a-blue moon inconvenience and not the norm.
But because I have a blog and because I am lucky enough to receive products to review from time to time, I was not at a loss for potable, delicious drinking water. That’s because the folks over at Hint Water sent me this:
I had Fizzy Blackberry, Crisp Apple, Peach, Mango Grapefruit and more to choose from over the 24-hour emergency. And my oh my, did these waters hit the spot. Their website sums up their philosophy, describing how the founders wanted to have a refreshing and tasty drink, but without sugar and with “no preservatives, additives or anything else that you can’t pronounce.” They make the water with fruit essence and oils, and with no artificial sweeteners. I like that philosophy, and I’m trying to apply it to more areas of my life – from food to fabrics to my dog toys (not my insulin though, I like that nice and synthetic, thank you!).
Hint Water is exactly what it sounds like – water with just a hint of natural flavor to it. Everyone I gave a sample to said “this tastes like that fancy water at the spa with the cut-up fresh fruit in it.” And they were correct. It’s all natural, tasty, refreshing, and doesn’t have any chemicals or sugar in it. The athlete in me loved having something more interesting in my water bottle at the gym. The Portlander-by-way-of-San-Diego in me loves that it’s all-natural. But the person with diabetes in me loves this part the most of all, because their tag line is so true, and so important:
