You may be wondering how can bottled water and organic food be related but a friend of mine explained to me they are.

Michelle is a very passionate organic food eater but she had run into financial problems that I was not aware of and she told me recently how she found some extra money in her budget to keep buying organic food.

Michelle knew the importance of drinking water daily to support her health and she was actively drinking water daily but the way she was getting herself water was costing her a lot of money.

She was buying two bottles of water on her way to work each day. She realized (like you most likely know) she was paying more for her bottle water than the cost of fuel for a car per liter. So she decided to ditch the water bottle habit and bring her own water to work. She also stopped using plastic to carry her water by investing in a stainless steel water bottle. In total per week, because of the amount of water she was drinking each day (about two liters) she ended up saving about ten dollars per week that she was able to reinvest in her organic food purchases, nice.

Thanks Michelle for sharing your experience. My family and I are also committed users of stainless steel water bottles. My current water bottle is the one in the image above – a Nalgene Stainless Steel Bottle.

Best of Health to you,

David

By the way, if you are interested in reading reviews of stainless steel water bottles for you or your children in the past I wrote stainless steel water bottle review for adults and stainless steel water bottle review for children’s bottles.

If you would like a lot more ways to save money on the cost of organic food you can search this site PLUS check out my inexpensive e-book on How to Buy Organic Food Inexpensively. One tip helped save $2000 in one year for one person on the price of organic food.

I work on being the best example I can be to people in my work and in my life. I also like to support the work of people who take the time to be the best they can be in their work too.

Darren Rowse, the founder of Problogger is a person I admire because daily he works on helping thousands of people become better writers for readers of their blogs.

Today Darren offered a fun challenge to readers and I saw the challenge and took it as a good exercise.

Darren asked readers to find seven postings in their archives they would like to share again with their readers to give new readers an over all taste of what is available on the blog.

Below are the seven postings I would like to bring to your attention if you are a new reader of my writings. I thank you for visiting and I welcome your feedback,

Cheers, David

My first article on this blog was Telephone and Heart Beats – this article is about how we all are connected in community.

The article I am hoping more people will read over time is Ten Personal Health Tips for Professional Bloggers – I am new to blogging as I have never been much of a writer (more of a talker!) Since I have started writing / blogging online more frequently I have been impressed by how many bloggers share so much quality information. I wanted to return the favour by writing an article to help support the health and wellness of bloggers to assist them when challenging days arrive. So I wrote this article that contains simple gems of information I know has helped many people during my years of personal development coaching. If you know a friend who is at the computer a lot writing they will, I trust, appreciate this article.

The article I enjoyed writing the most (so far!) this year is Take Time to be Silent – this article has been published in several newspapers before I posted it online and I wanted to share it with you.

One article which had a great amount of visitors was my Photos of Nice Carnival – Our Blue Planet but I lost my comments when it got attacked by spam and I made a mistake when deleting the spam. Unfortunately, I still get a lot of spam comments that are getting difficult to tell from real people’s comments but that’s another issue. Here is the posting I would like to re share!

One thing Darren asked in his challenge was did I ever see a post by someone I wish I had written. Yes, I did called Seven Pieces of Advice for My Younger Self by Ram Dev. I had read about the idea of writing a letter to my younger self with lessons I wanted to share and I had never got around to creating a blog posting on this subject. Then I came across one writer who loves helping people like I do and I went to visit his site for a second time and there was a posting he had just written on Life Lessons to share with his younger self. Here is Raam’s articles.

In all the articles I have written this year I believe that the one that has been most helpful to people has been my Stainless Steel Water Bottle Review.

Even with all the 100 plus articles I have posted in the last few months on personal development on this site the one article I get the most emails about because of its helpfulness is the one I did as a review on water bottles to help water loving readers make a wise purchase. You never know what is going to help people.

One post I wrote that I really like the title of is Call of Gratitude – to me one of the most important things I learned in life as I have experienced life challenges is to be grateful for what I have. This article is all about practicing gratitude.

As a great believer in the importance of drinking water because of its positive impact on mental and physical fitness I have written several articles like this one on the ten important reasons to drink water.

Personally, to keep hydrated I carry a stainless steel water bottle and I even put together a stainless steel water bottle review to help people match their needs. The water bottle review is here.

After I wrote this review I have read about many more stainless steel water bottles entering the market but the information is scattered all over the internet. So I am in the process of creating an up to date concise review which will be a great help if you are planning on making a purchase.

As a sampler of what is to come I will gather some details on a new water bottle one of my friends says she believes is the most stylish stainless steel water bottle on the market. I am not jumping out to buy it since my own stainless bottle gets bumped around a bit when I am hiking and this stylish item would get damaged. But I have to say since it shows some class it might get more people I know carrying a water bottle since they don’t like the look of many of the current bottles on the market.

Enough said. Check out Amazon they often offer some pricing deals if you look around their site. Click on the following link US canteen Brushed Stainless Steel Double-Walled Canteen or the image below for up to date details.

Note: If you follow one of this posting’s links to the Amazon site for current pricing and you decide to buy an item you do NOT pay anymore than if you went directly to the Amazon site and I do receive a few cents for my time to research and write this.

Enjoy a wonderful day,
