So I found ANOTHER really new cool toy last week. But it’s more than a toy, really. <\/p>\n
You see, as you may know we gave up Diet Coke. A long time comfort food. But it’s really not a food, at all. It’s just a cup full of chemicals. But you know that. And I won’t re-write the blog posts of the past. Suffice it to say, I am no longer addicted to the stuff… and I was indeed. <\/p>\n
I know, it’s the best thing to drink. Period. But water can get boring. <\/p>\n
So we’ve been searching… for something that wasn’t high in unnecessary calories (like fruit drinks) … but still a tasty kind of beverage treat (for the daytime hours… before a glass of red wine might be warranted). <\/p>\n
I’m happy to say… I found it! <\/p>\n
It’s called the Sodastream … and it’s one of the coolest things ever. You don’t have to lug 2 liter bottles of seltzer water from the store… you make it at home. And it’s as easy as – OPENING a bottle of the store-bought and a-bit-too-chemical-laden stuff. And, I think it’s better. You can use tap water, mineral water, distilled water, whatever water you’d normally drink. <\/p>\n
But here’s the kicker. I add about a shot of cranberry juice, lime juice, apple juice, or one of many other things that I just don’t need to drink 12 ounces of… and it’s like a cool, refreshing soda… without the silly sugar (or as Skinny Bitch would call it, liquid satan). There’s a little sugar from the one ounce of cranberry… or whatever… but that’s okay, I think. I do NOT buy the artificial sweeteners anymore… I only buy the real, organic, healthful ones. And… even though they’re more expensive… they go a long, long way this way. <\/p>\n
This thing doesn’t need electricity. So it’s cool on the boat, camper, whatever. Probably too big to take on a hike or a picnic… unless you’re one of those burly men (or women)… but you can always make some up ahead!!<\/p>\n
Every time I’m getting a drink… I can ask myself “Vis Gas, or no?” like they do in Paris. LOL. <\/p>\n
Anyhow… it’s super easy, actually cuts down on expense, calories, chemicals, and landfill contribution.<\/p>\n
And that’s good!<\/p>\n
