Oprah's Favorite Water Bottle Holder Keeps You Hands-free for Hikes and City Tours
Hydration is important, but having to carry around a water bottle everywhere—especially while traveling—can be a real nuisance. Schlepping it around by hand can wear out your fingers, and holding it by the top handle can make it easy to smack into walls. Not to mention, it disappears so much more easily, as most things do when they're not attached to our bodies. The solution is to wear your water—not on your back like an ultramarathoner, but across your body in a water bottle holder, just like Oprah does. The WanderFull HydroBag—a water bottle holder that's both cute and functional—has earned a spot in her highly-anticipated Favorite Things list twice over. And now, the brand has just rolled out a bunch of cute new styles for summer (pickleball-inspired water bottle carrier, anyone?). When selecting the WanderFull HydroBag for the list in 2023, Oprah called it 'cute and multifunctional,' saying that 'it holds my water bottle when I'm hiking in Maui,' and 'for city walkabouts.' The following year—when she added it to the list again—she noted that it's also great for carrying your phone, keys, cash, and water to the gym. 'This quilted water bottle carrier, with slim zip pockets, holds only the essentials you need,' she added. This crossbody water bottle holder has a cylindrical shape that accommodates bottles up to 3.5 inches in diameter. That means it can hold most popular reusable water bottles, including the Hydro Flask Travel Tumblers, and the wide-bottomed Owala FreeSip in 32 ounces. Whether your reason for buying a water bottle carrier is to free up your hands or keep from scratching, denting, and inevitably losing your treasured $40 water vessel, this clever bottle sling serves all purposes. 'As an adult with autism, I often forget to drink water or misplace things—especially my Stanley cups. The guilt of constantly replacing them adds up, and my sweet husband works so hard to help me. That's why this product truly means so much to me,' one reviewer wrote. 'It's not just helpful—it's perfect. Stylish, functional, and absolutely adorable.' This functional crossbody bag has two zipper-secured pockets—one big enough for a large phone on the outside, and a smaller one for cards and cash on the inside. It's lined with a water-resistant material, in case your bottle leaks, and has a two-inch-thick adjustable strap. The original WanderFull HydroBag comes in a wide array of colors (39, to be exact), but the new summery styles range from black and white tropical flowers to navy with an embroidered nautical anchor emblem. One style is emerald green, complete with embroidered golf clubs and a blue, white, and green strap. Two more sporty options are donned with either tennis rackets or pickleball paddles, while other motifs include colorful coral reef prints, preppy plaids, and a New England-inspired canvas version that features a subtle red lobster. While this listing of the WanderFull HydroBag has only been on Amazon for a few months, it has already garnered a few impressive five-star reviews. One shopper who bought it for the U.S. Open said that they've already gotten 'so many compliments.' adding that it's lightweight and very convenient to use. One shopper who purchased it to wear at Mardi Gras parades gave it a five-star rating, sharing that it had enough space for not just their water bottle but their 'cell phone, ID and debit cards, lip balm, pack of gum, sunscreen, and hair accessories.' They wrote they 'will absolutely use [it] again in a tourist/travel situation.' Plenty of people think that the Oprah-approved WanderFull HydroBag is well worth its $69 price tag—but if you're looking to find a similar bag for less, we found a few options starting at just $22 on Amazon, below. At the time of publishing, the price started at $69. Love a great deal? Sign up for our T+L Recommends newsletter and we'll send you our favorite travel products each week.

Asking Eric: Yoga teacher picks on longtime student
Dear Eric: I've been taking yoga classes for at least eight years from a woman who teaches a small group in her yard. I'm friendly with most of the students in the class, but the instructor apparently doesn't like 'the cut of my jib.' Example: She singled me out in class one time, saying I looked like 'someone's mom in the '70s doing yoga.' For the record, she is in her 50s, and I'm 10 years older. Another example was that she said I looked like a Lily Pulitzer model. I was wearing bright lipstick (never again) and an ordinary top. I innocently asked who Lily Pulitzer was; turns out she thinks I have a 'retro' appearance, but not in a kind way.

From standoffish to sisterhood: How I finally embraced my role as a senior officer's spouse
After 16 years of side-eyeing the spouse club life, I never thought I'd be the one hosting potlucks and learning ball dress etiquette. But here we are. I Spent Years Avoiding the 'Army Wife' Label Let's be honest: For most of my husband's military career, I kept my distance from the typical Army spouse scene. FRGs? Hard pass. Coffee socials? Nope. I had my own career, my own friends, and honestly, I didn't want to be lumped into the stereotypes I saw floating around military circles. You know the ones: the drama, the cliques, the Facebook threads that turn into war zones. But what I didn't realize was how much I was missing. It Took a PCS to Fort Leavenworth to Break My Own Rules When my husband was promoted to Major and we moved to Fort Leavenworth, something shifted. Maybe it was maturity. Maybe it was the exhaustion of starting over again for the tenth time. Maybe it was the loneliness of being somewhere new with no one to call. I joined a volunteer group that supported military families, and for the first time, I stopped bracing myself for the drama. Instead, I met women who weren't about the stereotypes at all. They were smart, funny, driven, and supportive. They talked real talk and offered help before I even asked. Turns out, when you stop assuming the worst, you leave room for the best. I've embraced daytime social events and etiquette classes that teach you there is a rule to the ratio of how much skin to show at awkwardly formal events. I even learned that there is a real handbook for spouses. Am I interested in reading it? No, but it did spark a little curiosit,y so I did some research I'm learning about things I never cared about before — like how early you're supposed to arrive for a military event or how to introduce myself without just saying, 'I'm just the wife.' From Fort Leavenworth to Korea: A Whole New Outlook Now we're stationed overseas, and I'm not turning my nose up at spouse life anymore. I'm leaning in. I've even found a new friend who is active duty and dual-military. That may not sound like a big deal, but it is for me. The last female soldier I called 'friend' turned out to be more interested in a relationship with my husband than with me — but that's a story for another day. Needless to say, trusting females and making new friends is definitely not my thing, so this is a new era for me. Me? Friends with someone in the Army? I would never… until now. That last almost-friendship left me with a negative perception, and I was already rare in trusting women in general. And although I can attest that the military is not kind or easy on marriages, it's hard to trust people when you're constantly watching your back. So this new friendship is one born from me being in a season where I am walking in grace and trusting God. So yes, I have a new friend. No, I won't let my past experiences prejudice our friendship. Being a Black Military Spouse Adds Another Layer I'd be lying if I said my hesitation to engage wasn't also about representation. Sometimes you show up and feel like the only Black woman in the room. Sometimes you are the only Black woman in the room. Add in the job search struggles that come with every PCS, and it's easy to feel invisible. But faith has anchored me in every duty station, and now I'm choosing to see this season differently. Maybe I'm not building a career right now, but I'm building community. Maybe I don't know what's next, but I know I don't have to do it alone. Sisterhood Is Real, If You Let It Be Sixteen years ago, I never thought I'd be where I am right now! Today, I'm exchanging numbers, making new friends, and joining fellow spouses in exercise groups. Do I still roll my eyes sometimes? Absolutely. But I also laugh harder, feel more seen, and know I have people who get it. And that makes this whole Army wife thing not just bearable, but beautiful. To anyone who's ever felt on the outside of this life: Maybe it's not so bad inside. Maybe, just maybe, this version of sisterhood was what we needed all along.
