Glass Water Bottles



When I first think of glass water bottles I think of lots of broken glass, but these glass water bottles have lived up to the resistance on the breaking.

We haven't actually let one hit the floor from a far distance but they have been washed, knocked around during use, etc, and they are still intact, just not ready to let my little ones take these out on their own just yet.

I like that this comes with 6 bottles and a scrub brush that makes cleaning them super easy. I do wish it had a bigger mouth opening for adding ice to keep your drink cook but I am sure they can work on that next.

I love the tops and the way they screw on and protect the mouthpiece with a silicone linking so there is less breakage. These say they are freezer safe but as of yet I am not ready to test that but I am thinking about it to see if I lay it down and there is ice on the side of the bottle I can add a drink and it will stay cold for a while

Great for those who want to use glass instead of plastic, or steel. Easy to clean.

Purifyou




This is a pretty nice water bottle. Glass kind of scares me because with having children glass doesn't last too long, but this bottle has held up so far so it gets my thumbs up.

The silicone sleeve pretty much protects the whole bottle from light falls or fumbles. I love that if you want to really take a big gulp you are able to do that since the lid comes off, but I didn't like how small the mouth was. I can't put ice inside to keep my drink cooler longer.

Great for short trips or for use in your home. Comes in several colors and is great for both sexes.

The top even has a little finger hold so you can grab it that way or hook to a carabiner clip.


You can find the Purifyou water bottle on Amazon.




  • IT'S TIME to purify your lifestyle, and change the way you drink water. Glass is 100% recyclable, and doesn't leach harmful chemicals or unwanted flavors into your water like plastic or metal.

    Our glass water bottle is reusable as many times as you'd like, and is entirely BPA free, Phthalate free, PVC free, lead free, cadmium free and worry free. Try finding that in another bottle. Plus, it's made from high borosilicate glass, which is more heat resistant than any other commonly used glass. Now you can save the planet and enjoy your warm tea too. Still worried the glass might break? Not so fast - our glass is the most durable in consumer retail, and with the added food-grade high-impact-resistant silicone sleeve for drop protection who knows what you'll be capable of (dropping from the 3rd floor of your office building is still not recommended though).

    Our lid and glass bottles are optimized for YOU. With just the right size between a narrow mouth and wide mouth, the lid is also quick to twist off and 100% leak-proof. Our silicone sleeve also acts as an insulator, keeping your beverage hot or cold for extended use. Making the perfect container, our glass bottles will also brave any weather conditions your home puts them through, because they're microwave safe, dishwasher safe, and freezer safe (do not overfill for freezer use though!).

    At an easy 7.5 inches tall and weighing in at about half a pound, you just might find yourself taking your bottle to all sorts of new places. From the yoga mat to those high profile business meetings, our bottle also looks great in your purse or with kids on the go.

    HELP SAVE THE WORLD TOO, because with every glass water bottle purchased, a portion of our profits is sent directly to building water wells for impoverished communities in Africa. Being a hero for those in need has never been easier. Each bottle sold separately.

Clear Glass Bottles with Chalk Label



We have been using less chemicals in our home and these glass bottle have been a helping hand. We have one for air freshener made from essential oils, one with wood cleaner, one with a disinfectant, and one with vinegar and water which takes care of most of cleaning needs. The chalk labels are repositionable and there is never any guessing what is inside of the bottles anymore.

We used to use our old plastic bottles from other cleaners, with my husband writing on the bottle what was inside but most of the time the kids would be using the wrong cleaner to do the job because they all had writing on top of the original cleaner that was inside of it to begin with.

Now even though the bottles look the same they don't have to look and see if there is writing on top of what was inside it before because we can easily change the name of the product with the chalk labels.

You can find these glass bottles on Amazon.

My Cast Iron is in Love



Looking for a great way to clean your cast iron without ruining it, or maybe you are looking to recondition your cast iron that has been sitting around with no use. Either way this iron cloth will do the trick.

What I found amazing is that this can also be used on your glass pans as well as your stainless steel pans. I haven't used it on my glass or stainless steel but will be doing so the next time I use them.

I love that my cast iron pans come clean with out doing any damage to my pain or taking away the years of hard use to get them where they are today.

I have a cast iron pan with a little rust and I am going to use this to bring it back to live before reconditioning it back to use.

You can find the cast iron cleaner on Amazon.

Greenwald's Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner




This was actually the first Greenwald's product I tried out. Probably because there are so many windows, mirrors, and other surfaces to clean in our home. Like other Greenwald products this was just as easy to mix, use, and store.

I can not say enough how glad I am to be able to save on shipping and also put less garbage in the landfills. The products are recyclable so when you are all done everything just goes in the appropriate bin.

This is the kind of product I want to see more of in the future. I can't wait to try out some of their other cleaners and products in the future.


You can purchase Greenwald's Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner on Amazon.



What Greenwald's has to say about their product.

Greenwald's Glass & Hard Surface cleaner is a unique entrant to the market for 4 reasons:

1. It's more powerful than the average cleaner purchased and discount stores. It doesn't leave film or haze and gets rid of water spots and other glass & hard surface buildup. 
2. It saves money. Because when purchasing either the kit or the refills (note: this promotion is for the "kit" that also contains a 6 pack of refills) it's 30-70% less than competing products.
3. It saves a ton of space. Each dissolvable refill makes a 32 ounce spray bottle and each refill fits in the palm of your hand. You can store gallons of cleaner refills in the size of a cigar box. You can store an entire arsonal of cleaners in a drawer. It frees up cleaner closet or under the sink space. 
4. It environmentally friendly from the standpoint that you're not purchasing a new plastic bottle every time you need a new bottle of cleaner. You recycle the existing cleaner bottle that you have. This means less plastic bottle trash (5 times less or more) that goes to local landfills let alone less trash you deal with.
