This is a picture of my ‘day job’ desk. Among the clutter of items, you will see my two favorite fluids and their favored respective containers – my tea mug with a caption that reads ‘tips for dieting: if you can’t lose it, decorate it!’ I find this strangely encouraging. The other fluid container is my new favorite stainless steel water bearer. This awesome insulated container is a Thermos. This hip update on a classic is called the Intak Fashion Vacuum Insulated Hydration Bottle – that’s a mouthful, huh? I’ve never liked the plastic straw containers, but this one is flexible AND it is BPA free!

“1.1 billion people on this planet lack adequate hydration due to a shortage of clean and safe drinking water”

– according to the HydrationForAll website.

Thermos is running a very cool (pun intended) campaign associated with the Intak called HydrationForAll. Thermos is serious about helping everyone get healthier with proper hydration. They have teamed up with Charity: Water to help make sure more people around the world have access to safe and clean drinking water for life-saving hydration and health.

If you go to their website and make a donation, for every $5 or more donated to Charity: Water through the site, Thermos will match it and 100% of the money will go towards construction of new freshwater wells in two African communities that are in desperate need of a healthy water supply.

The HydrationForAll website also has helpful tips for helping keep the whole family hydrated. Go see for yourself and maybe make a donation while you’re there!
