The Owala FreeSip Is the Water Bottle I Swear By. It's Seeing a Major Discount for Back to School
Back-to-school deal: Owala is running a 20% back-to-school sale at both Owala and Target. My favorite water bottle, the 24-ounce Owala FreeSip, is on sale for just $24 in most colors. (The 32-ounce size is down to $28, and the 40-ouncer is just $30.) That's an impressive deal on a water bottle that rarely sees a discount. But you'll need to act fast since this back-to-school sale ends soon, and inventory is already running low in some colors. I never thought this day would come. But I have officially said goodbye to the Stanley cup. I'm a certified fitness fiend, and there's nothing I appreciate more after a hot workout than having an ice-cold drink. For years, the Stanley IceFlow was the perfect companion, and I took it along for thousands of digital miles in cycling classes. But those days are behind me. Now I'm a new woman with a new water bottle. Let me tell you how I got here. I didn't become an Owala fan overnight. The transformation took place over many months, as I noticed all of my friends couldn't stop raving about the Owala FreeSip. Here's what surprisingly converted me: My friends asked if I knew that you looked like a koala when you chug from the top. When I got mine, I immediately ran to the mirror to see if it was true. Yes, they were right. The Owala is easy to carry around, and its colors are cute and fun. I definitely gulp more than the average person when I drink water.

The Owala FreeSip is so easy to carry with you wherever you go and the water never spills. Minphy Liao/CNET The Owala FreeSip bottle is so convenient If you imagine a dog carrying their favorite toy in their mouth, that's me, except with this Owala bottle. I carry my Owala bottle everywhere. It follows me to work, the gym, out with friends, on trips, the shower... OK, maybe not the shower. The bottle is easy to hold with indents around the sides. It has an optional latch at the top to hang on your fingers whenever you're grabbing all the other things you carry with you at once. If you're a parent, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The best feature that hooked me is that you don't have to unscrew the lid to refill the Owala. The opening where you sip is wide enough to refill through without taking extra time to twist it on or off. For me, it's all about the path of least resistance. The top of the Owala FreeSip water bottle shows that you can chug or sip from the straw.

Forget That Old Windows Laptop, The 2025 MacBook Air Is Selling for a Record Low Price on Amazon
Amazon just dropped the price of the 2025 MacBook Air with 256GB storage and a 13-inch screen to a record low of $799, which is a serious steal considering the list price was $999. Many people, especially students, usually opt for Windows laptops because they're often cheaper, with most budgets falling between 600 and 800 dollars. But now, with this Back to School deal, you don't have to settle for a basic Windows machine: you can get one of the most powerful laptops on the market for less than 800 bucks! See at Amazon This MacBook Air (launched in March this year) comes with Apple's brand-new M4 chip which is designed to be super efficient and fast. The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display offers stunning visuals which make everything from watching videos to editing photos a real pleasure. It supports True Tone technology that adjusts the screen's color temperature based on your ambient light, so your eyes don't get tired as quickly. Inside, the 16GB of unified memory helps keep everything running smoothly: You can switch between apps (like Word, Excel,…), browse the web (via Chrome, Safari) and run demanding software without feeling any slowdown. The 256GB SSD storage gives you plenty of room for your documents, all with fast loading times so you're never waiting around. What's cool about the M4 chip is that it balances strong performance with great battery life, meaning you get a powerful machine that still lasts all day on a single charge. The MacBook Air also pretty good in the camera department with the 12MP Center Stage camera (of course, we'd expect more from Apple, but that's already pretty good). It automatically keeps you centered in video calls, which is great for online meetings or catching up with friends and family. The camera quality is crisp and clear which can make a big difference when you want people to actually see you well on their screens. If you're thinking about upgrading and want a laptop that feels premium but don't want to stretch your budget too far, this MacBook Air 2025 at $799 on Amazon is definitely worth considering. Don't miss this deal if you want one of the best laptops available. See at Amazon
