I must drink more water, just bought a glass water bottle to keep the plastic out of the ocean!!
Hope you don't drop it when you go for a run!
It's in a rubber casing of sorts. It should bounce, I think...... just like my iPhone does Just got it at the supermarket. Was reading how plastic water bottles leach into the water. Causes Breast Cancer. Sheryl Crowe feels that caused her cancer. Trying to eliminate plastic containers and buying food in plastic. Have gone over to glass as much as possible. BPA is very bad for you and also lines some cans, so I'm on a campaign to buy food that is in glass instead of cans. I'm planning on writing my favorite food companies encouraging them to go to glass or aluminum, which doesn't need a BPA liner.
I'm happy some items are now in plastic. Like dill pickles. I've dropped a few on my tile floor in the kitchen & even in the garage. So much easier when items like that are in plastic. But I have not done any homework on any of the things you speak of. I know I have heard that plastic water bottles can be wrapped around the earth multiple times...just amazing. But what about plastic shopping bags too? I know you don't consume them but they will never break down. I take my dog for a walk & use a plastic bag to pick up her poop & it'll be in there forever. At least I am reusing the shopping bags. (to buy biodegradable bags...too expensive)
My store sells really nice reusable shopping bags and also thermal bags for he frozen items! I mainly use those over and over. I can't help thinking that cancer and plastic has a connection... I know what you mean about reusing the store bags for dog poop! Or lining waste bins... Still cancer and plastic are thought to be linked and so best to avoid, even if it's more convenient sometimes. http://www.breastcancerfund.org/clear-science/environmental-breast-cancer-links/plastics/

Love yourself
The BEST answer ever... Love and Appreciate yourself and the special qualities you bring to the world! And even if some mean or jealous people try to put you down for things, (which seems to be too popular these days) listen to your heart, it will tell you the truth!!

I don't buy bottled water unless I have no choice (like at a concert that doesn't let you bring your own in etc but after I'm done with it, straight to recycling it goes) but I do have a plastic sturdy re-usable water bottle I use but it's BPA chemical free. Glass is just to heavy for me to carry around on my bike and the train, etc.

Well I have this gadget on my bike to hold a water bottle. On my bike I use an aluminum water bottle. The new ones are BPA free. They are very lightweight, but I would't put anything acidic in them. The glass water bottle is for around the house or you can get one of those water bottle holder slings, most everything has a cup or a spot for a water bottle now days. Here's an article recommending stainless steel. I'm going to check that out myself. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/safe-water-bottle/#axzz38h6lNkav STAY AWAY FROM STYROFOAM CUPS, PLATES and especially do not use them in the microwave, where any fatty food causes them to melt. They are very very bad for you!! I refuse to use them. Sorry for the warning, so many people don't know about them... Just wanted to edit that aluminum is not good for cooking pots or anything acidic. Water should be no problem. Aluminum is great for the bottom of your pots in conducting heat, so is copper.

On days that you don't feel like doing any kind of work out ...... sometimes try ... for example: I love walking - some days I am just not in the mood, feeling bummed out, maybe just lazy after working the day ..... I almost talk myself out of it ..... then I feel like I am forcing myself to go out and walk ..... in a matter of seconds .... I feel better and enjoy my walk .... and wonder how I could have not wanted to walk in the first place. *This is just a get started .... if you don't feel better in those seconds .... then you are probably right to skip it - or it is time to find something that you enjoy - so you will want to do it more often ..... which is what walking is to me - something that I enjoy and want to do all the time. It helps that there are good health benefits to it

Good idea... good to walk the dog too!

rinse off after going for a swim ... or if you have not showered/taken a bath during the day - do so!

Can't sleep? Soak in a bathtub with lavender.

I think they use lavender to calm excitable dogs too.

I would not recommend taking a bath with a dog.

I usually get all wet when I bathe my dog...

A banana a day keeps the blood pressure at bay.

Coconut milk yogurt for breakfast with protein powder and a Probiotic

Probiotics are the answer to so many problems. Every time I'm starting to feel ill, I just double up on my weekly dose, or if I'm under stress, it helps too. Digestive/Bowel problems? Probiotics! The "good" natural bacteria, that we normally have, but may be worn down by stress, sugar and modern living. It's worked miracles for me, stopped me from getting the flu every winter.

I'm glad I started taking them!
