Products that will help get you on the right track
Simply Better Bottles
This water bottle not only hydrates
you, but also keeps you motivated.
It was created by the company 50
Strong. The name is a reference to
the 50 states with the mission of
creating products in the USA and
keeping manufacturing jobs at
home. Each bottle features three
different inspirational quotes:
“Be Happy,” “Think Positive,”
and “Never Stop,” and a double
wall that keeps drinks cold and
double-wall insulation to prevent
condensation. All are BPA-free and
dishwasher safe. Ten percent of
every sale goes to their nonprofit
to empower and educate their
manufacturing workers. be50strong.
