Hidrate Spark 2.0 Smart Water Bottle Review

Water is life.  It's my drink of choice :-) (I really prefer it over sodas & other high-cal drinks!) It has so many benefits (aids in digestion, weight loss, muscle/bone/joint issues, increase your energy levels, boosts the immune system, flushes out toxins/waste, combats headaches/fatigue, keeps your skin healthy, & prevents lower back pain as well as cramps!) Drinking water is a daily must-do & is very important in preventing cancer & diseases! I know that when I'm not drinking at least 8 cups of water per day, I cannot function at my best nor get much done.  It makes it hard for me to stay productive when I am not getting enough.  That said, I try to always have water w/ me, wherever I am(whether I'm home, on the go, working out, in the car, hiking, playing sports, traveling, or at work).      

The Hidrate Spark 2.0 Smart Water Bottle makes it easy when the thirst is real.  It tracks your water intake and helps you stay healthy & hydrated all day long! It comes in many colors for you to choose from (white, green, teal, pink, purple & black) & glows/lights up to remind you whenever you need to drink up.  The one I got is a purple diamond-shaped bottle.  It has a jewel-like look to it w/ the transparent hues & kind of matches my room.  It's large-size too & holds a lot of water! So I don't have to refill as often as I use to.  It doesn't need any charging.  The batteries can be replaced when low.  I should also note that The Spark is BPA-free (plastic bottle alternative) & reusable (obviously).  It connects/syncs w/ smartphone apps (like HidrateMe, MyFitnessPal, Fitbit, Misfit, Apple Health Kit, & Jawbone) & is a quick way to let you know when you need to up your water intake.  It's a good way to take care of yourself & your loved ones! It's a thoughtful, useful gift for a busy, stressed someone you know in your life (family, partner, friends, coworker or neighbor) who is struggling to meet their daily hydration needs! I don't know about you, but for me, cute workout clothes & gadgets like this one makes me amped & motivated to hit the gym. 

The Spark is also comfortable to hold.  You can keep it by your bedside so that you can take sips throughout the night & not worry about leaving your warm, cozy bed to get it.  And you can start your day right w/ it being right next to you in the morning! Convenient for those who are forgetful & always dehydrated from the coffee or tea that they drink!

If you're looking for something different other than plastic water bottles this is it.  It can be your take everywhere cup.

P.S. Handle w/ care & delicacy! Remove the sensor stick before putting in the dishwasher. 

Cons:
-On the pricey side but good for long-term customers!
-I'd avoid large pieces of ice & anything hot
-Lid takes some getting used to

Cheeky Home Review

Disposable kitchenware/partyware/houseware with a variety of fun designs & colors! (Stripes, flowers, multicolors, chevron, etc.) Hard to come by nowadays (don't see that very often).  Usually paper products are white & plain, so it's nice to see something different for a change! You can mix & match :) The plates, cups, napkins & eating utensil sets can be used everyday, & for parties, work, BBQ's, celebrations, family gatherings, special events, road trips, vacations, camping and picnics.  They're convenient, good quality, sturdy, functional & for on-the-go!  

Cheeky plates are also microwaveable! Perfect for guests! They make kitchen cleanups quick & easy.  So if you do not like throwing lunch or dinner parties, because it is too much work & you dread it, try Cheeky out! :-) After-dinner cleanups will be less painful + they're easy to use.  The spoons & forks are ideal for to-go lunches & college students! You can keep them around the office & reuse whenever.  The same thing goes w/ the cups.  Cheeky cups are large-size & make good cookie cutters! & as for the napkins, they're simple but get the job done! They protect tabletops & can be used as snack plates.

What I like most about Cheeky is that every purchase goes towards a good cause! I'm all for positive impacts that can make a difference in our world such as ending hunger! Knowing that this business gives a meal to one hungry person (through partnerships Feeding America & No Kid Hungry) after buying just 1 item of theirs brings joy to my heart & is enough for me to stick by them! 

Cheeky products are pretty affordable, made in the United States & can be found at Target.

Cons:
Cutlery doesn't break easily, but would not use for cutting meats.
