I’ve been on the hunt for a new emotional support water bottle cuz my current one is nasty and I am absolutely losing my shit over this review. I’m sold

IMAGE TEXT:

I like a good water bottle as much as the next bottle enthusiast, but this isn't a good bottle. It's an amazing bottle. It's the bottle.

I have a friend, who will remain nameless, but for context he's got an issue. He's got a good size snoot, a honker if you will. We've known each other for the better part of a decade and even work together, but over the years he's had issues with other bottles. First it was a themoflask with a narrow spout. I would see him drink from this bottle sideways all because of his schozzle. I couldn't bear to have him drink like this, just watching him drink out of that bottle hurt me too. I sought out a wide mouth bottle to help fix the issue. When this second wide mouth bottle came along I recommended it to him and this seemingly fixed his problem. That was until my issue.

We were drinking out of our matching bottles one day, when the car in front of us braked. He left a sufficient distance to bake safely but this didn't stop the transfer of momentum. The water came rushing back through the wide mouth of the bottle, drenching me in ice cold water. Thus began another journey to find yet another bottle.

Days, weeks, almost a month of mind numbing scrolling through bottles went by when this bottle came as a recommendation from Jeffery himself. The Owala FreeSip. The name itself intrigued me so I decided to proceed. I was flipping through the pictures when the reason for the name sake finally hit me. It shook me to my core. The ability to drink from a straw and a spout? Could this be it, the bottle to solve both of our issues? I immediately clicked buy now, not bothering to waste time on adding to cart.

The next two days were excruciating. The human body can go about a month without food, but only about 3 days without water. Beginning to become dizzy from dehydration, I mustered everything I could to refresh the tracking page. Then it happened, the doorbell rang and I knew it was here. I rushed as quickly as I could to the door. With what little strength I had left, I grabbed the bottle, ripped open the packaging, and filled it. And to my amazement, it worked.

After draining the bottle and taking a moment to be more refreshed than I ever had in my life, I stopped. In this pause all I could think about was my friend. He had been struggling just like I had, but arguably longer and I knew that he must be on the edge just like I was. I ran to my keys, making sure not to forget the bottle, and immediately went to the office. I drove dashing from lane to lane knowing that I probably didn't have much time. After entering the building I ran to his desk only to find him there laying on a bean bag. I picked him up and gave him a drink.

Once he came to he said "thanks for the water and for not spilling any on me."

I replied "don't thank me, thank Owala."

And he said "who's Owala?"

All that I could do was laugh... Then I showed him. We both looked as we realized this solved both of our problems. I sent him the bottle just as Jeffrey did to me. And as he finished his last sip with the freedom to drink any which way he saw fit, we both stood up, jumped in the air and exclaimed "YIPPEE"

All that I can say is thank you Owala for saving not only me, but my friend.

As the parent of three teens and a 12-year-old, I’ll be the first to admit that Gen Z trends make my head spin. Slang words disappear almost as soon as they’re cool (“Nobody says ‘cringey’ any more, Mom!”), TikTok trends are all but dead by the time they hit my personal FYP, and items that are “must-haves” one week will quickly be out of vogue the next (RIP to the Stanley cup trend — more on that later). If you feel hopelessly old when it comes to keeping up, you’re definitely not alone. It is literally my job to keep tabs on what today’s teenagers are loving and hating, and even though my kids grudgingly admitted yesterday that I’m “sort of” on top of things, I still sometimes feel like I’m pitifully doggy-paddling through an ever-changing sea of what’s cool and what’s not. So I’ll admit, doing this roundup of the Gen Z trends of 2025 was selfish on my part, because I too am a parent just trying to keep up with my Gen Z kids. I combed through trend forecasts, corporate reports, and TikTok hauls to figure out what they’re into as we head into the new year, so we aren’t totally behind. Sigma!     It’s a Jellycat Jubilee! Image Credit: Jellycat Move over, Squishmallows — Jellycats are a hot commodity at the moment. Maybe it’s because they have a variety of fun plushes (shrimp! Snowflakes! Hot dogs!), or maybe it’s because they’re just so darn cute and cuddly. Either way, this is a trend I’ve personally seen in action; my son bought his girlfriend a Jellycat capybara (yep, they’ve got those too!) and she literally almost cried with happiness. And yes, they ARE as cute as they look online! There are a lot of impostors out there, but as with most Gen Z trends, the actual Jellycat brand is part of the appeal.

As the parent of three teens and a 12-year-old, I’ll be the first to admit that Gen Z trends make my head spin. Slang words disappear almost as soon as they’re cool (“Nobody says ‘cringey’ any more, Mom!”), TikTok trends are all but dead by the time they hit my personal FYP, and items that are “must-haves” one week will quickly be out of vogue the next (RIP to the Stanley cup trend — more on that later). If you feel hopelessly old when it comes to keeping up, you’re definitely not alone. It is literally my job to keep tabs on what today’s teenagers are loving and hating, and even though my kids grudgingly admitted yesterday that I’m “sort of” on top of things, I still sometimes feel like I’m pitifully doggy-paddling through an ever-changing sea of what’s cool and what’s not. So I’ll admit, doing this roundup of the Gen Z trends of 2025 was selfish on my part, because I too am a parent just trying to keep up with my Gen Z kids. I combed through trend forecasts, corporate reports, and TikTok hauls to figure out what they’re into as we head into the new year, so we aren’t totally behind. Sigma!     It’s a Jellycat Jubilee! Image Credit: Jellycat Move over, Squishmallows — Jellycats are a hot commodity at the moment. Maybe it’s because they have a variety of fun plushes (shrimp! Snowflakes! Hot dogs!), or maybe it’s because they’re just so darn cute and cuddly. Either way, this is a trend I’ve personally seen in action; my son bought his girlfriend a Jellycat capybara (yep, they’ve got those too!) and she literally almost cried with happiness. And yes, they ARE as cute as they look online! There are a lot of impostors out there, but as with most Gen Z trends, the actual Jellycat brand is part of the appeal. Jellycat 12 $31.00 on Amazon.com Hollister, Hollister, & More Hollister Image Credit: Hollister If you remember how popular Hollister was in the mid-2000s, you may not be surprised to hear that it’s back in a big way — especially its oversized sweatshirts and baggy sweatpants. Gen Z loves its clothes big and comfy … sweats were among my 15-year-old’s favorite Christmas gifts! Hollister Baggy Sweatpants (Men) $39.00 Stanley Who? Image Credit: Owala New water bottle, who dis? Owala has booted the Stanley tumbler as the hydration vehicle of choice among teens. Though overall, water bottles aren’t quite as popular as they were at this time last year, they’re still on plenty of wish lists. And the Owala comes in a ton of colorways!

Owala FreeSip Review: Sip or Chug

I’ve long been searching for The One. No, not a romantic partner—the one perfect water bottle. It’s not for lack of trying. I’ve spent years cycling through reusable bottles. I liked many of them at the time, but eventually, they all just accumulated in the cupboard. They simply did not make the cut for the perfect match. My requirements aren’t extravagant, but they are particular. I need a…
