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. Minphy Liao/CNET Owala FreeSip water bottle specs Capacity: 24, 32 or 40 ounces 24, 32 or 40 ounces Insulation: Double-wall stainless steel Double-wall stainless steel Chill time: Keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours Keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours Cleaning: Dishwasher-safe lid, hand-wash cup Dishwasher-safe lid, hand-wash cup Drink options: Large spout for swigging, built-in straw for sipping Why the Owala FreeSip makes a great gift Back-to-school season is underway.

Stanley Cups Are 40% Off For A Very Limited Time
Forget hockey championships and the Owala FreeSip — for Prime Day, The Stanley cup is on major sale. Yes, that one. Select colors (including fuchsia, almond rose, and stargaze) of the 40-ounce size are 40% off, meaning you can grab a brand new, mega-viral tumble starting at an unheard-of $27. But if you want one, you've got to move fast. Lest we forget, the Stanley Quencher is break-the-Internet famous. Just a few years ago, the cup boasted a 150,000-person waitlist. That's not even mentioning the millions of views the cup gets on social media. Since the cup's rocketship launch into popularity — this style has never been on sale (give or take single color on a random site you'd probably be afraid to give your card info). So if you're thinking about finally getting one (or finally getting another) — now would be the 'iconic for a reason' and 'worth the hype,' reviewers say the cup helps them drink more water and stay hydrated — whether they're working long hours, in school, breastfeeding, or recovering from trendy, sure, but one that many reviewers say deserves its its price tag. If you're already a Stanley lover, you hardly need more reason to grab another color. And if you're finally considering getting yourself one, today's sale colors range from vibrant to neutral. You don't need a code or coupon; just click and grab tumbler is dishwasher-safe and made with a handle, splash-proof screw-on top, and a reusable straw. Its double-walled vacuum-insulated stainless steel construction aims to keep drinks hot for seven hours and cold for 11, though many reviews mention folks' ice staying hard for whole days. There was even a 2023 news story about a car being on fire and the cup surviving. The Quencher's unstoppable popularity came as a surprise to the heritage camping brand. According to the New York Times, Stanley discontinued the cup in 2019, assuming their mostly male customer base wasn't interested. When a trio of parenting bloggers noticed a wave of their female readers loving the cup, they campaigned for Stanley to bring the Quencher back, creating a loyal women-led fanbase.'The Stanley Quencher success story is one of our brand listening to women for incredible results,' Terence Reilly, global president of Stanley, previously told HuffPost. 'The Quencher's popularity comes from listening to female consumers and providing them with the colors, innovation, durability, and style they covet.'There's no telling how fast these beloved cups will sell out, so move quickly to nab this first-time hard to imagine you haven't already heard all about the Stanley Quencher, but trust us, there is no shortage of 5-star reviews.

The next day, the ice is still in there. I wish I bought it sooner!' —Sammie Krzy'Finally succumbed to the Stanley trend, and I can see why it's so popular.

They have so many colors, different styles, and sizes to choose from. What stands out the MOST is its impressive insulation. It keeps my water ice cold for hours, which can last a day. The handle is sturdy and is a great addition to the cup. The handle makes it easy and super convenient to carry around. I've had zero issues with leaks. I've purchased the little leak-proof accessories to aid in cases I accidentally tip it over. The large capacity is a game-changer; I no longer need constant refills. If you're looking for a durable, high-quality tumbler and one that looks stylish, this is the one. I highly recommend this brand. You won't regret your purchase.' —Kim.

Stanley Cups Are 40% Off For The First Time Ever — But Time Is Running Out
Forget hockey championships and the Owala FreeSip — for the first time ever, we spotted The 40-ounce Stanley cup for 40% off on Amazon. Yes, that one. Whether your preference is for the OG 40-ounce tumbler or the slightly smaller 30-ounce cup, enjoy 40% off both sizes of the dreamy green/gray/blue 'shale' and classic blue/gray 'blue spruce' and the 30-ounce size of the summer-ready 'mist.' You heard us, f-o-r-t-y percent off, meaning you can grab a brand new, mega-viral tumble starting at an unheard of $21. The lowest price we've seen them at, ever. So you better act fast. Lest we forget, the Stanley Quencher is break-the-Internet famous. Just a few years ago, the cup boasted a 150,000-person waitlist. So if you're thinking about finally getting one (or finally getting another) — now would be the time.

The 30 oz capacity is just right, offering plenty of space for water, coffee, or any drink of choice. The handle is super convenient for carrying, and the straw makes sipping easy, especially while driving or at work. The insulation works wonderfully—my drinks stay cold for hours. It's durable, well-built, and fits perfectly in most car cup holders. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a practical, stylish, and reliable tumbler!' — Shannon 'I absolutely was not going to fall for the hype. What's so special about a mug? I own plenty of other mugs to keep my water cold. But my granddaughter purchased one. She asked me to hold it one evening during her game. I realized my mugs didn't have a handle. And mine were too big for my cup holder. I had to lay them on my seat. And sometimes they did leak. So I ordered this 30 oz Stanley in the Rose Quartz color. I could care less about the limited edition colors. I had to wait about 2 weeks for delivery. Worth the wait. I like the mug so much, I purchased another one in Blue Spruce. I like the darker color for my cup holder as the lighter color can get marks on it easily. Love the handle. Keeps ice for a long time. I drink more water. My granddaughter saw my Blue Spruce and she wanted the same color. Went to Dicks and saw the latest limited edition Chrome Black. Tempted to get it. But how many mugs does a person need? My granddaughter loves black. But she still decided on the Blue Spruce. Definitely glad we purchased these mugs. Especially since it's getting a teen to drink more water. I researched the lead issue being mentioned. Google it. Trust me, I'm a clean product freak and I'm not concerned.' — Justsuern 'Finally succumbed to the Stanley trend and I can see why it's so popular.

42 Problem-Solving Products To Use Out In Nature
A mosquito repeller to prevent those oh-so-annoying creatures from crashing your tanning party with a 15-foot invisible barrier. Reviewers love it because it's scent-free (aka no citronella smell) and works better than most devices they've tried! And a set of DEET-free mosquito-repelling bracelets that'll keep those blood-sucking creatures AWAY 🤺. It'll ward off all those skeeters without you having to douse yourself in an overwhelming amount of bug spray! An Owala FreeSip tumbler so you can enjoy icy agua all day long in the sweltering heat instead of having to add more ice every hour, thanks to its triple-layer insulation! This godsend offers all the benefits of a Stanley without the spills, and its spout is a game changer — you can either drink through a built-in straw or tilt it back to chug. A pair of quick-drying hiking shoes with an open-mesh upper and holes on the sole so you can cross through rivers and wade through waterfalls without having to suffer through that icky feeling of soaked sneakers and socks. Promising review: "It's got good arch support, definitely not waterproof, but dries very fast and doesn't have any pooling water in them. Good for hiking. Not too slippery, good grip on wet rocks. The color is as expected." —DustinGet them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 19 colors and in men's sizes 7–16). An instant cooling towel, because yes, there actually IS a way you can stay cool during your hikes and runs in 90-degree weather! Just soak it with cold water, wring it out, and drape it around your head or neck for sweet, sweet relief. A pair of flowy athletic shorts so you can look cute *and* stay as comfy as possible on your summer walks and hikes. They're designed with built-in spandex and a pocket to hold your phone and wallet! And a pack of three lightweight racerback tanks because the feeling of sleeves sticking to you when it's blazing hot out? No thanks. They're designed with large arm cutouts and sweat-wicking fabric, so you'll probably have 'em on rotation all season long. A *beary* adorable handheld fan you wouldn't think has the power to keep you cool with how compact it its 53,000+ 5-star ratings prove otherwise. Imagine you're hiking through Death Valley and pull this baby out — oh boy, are you about to be the most popular one there. Plus, it TRIPLES as a flashlight and portable charger, so this small but mighty thing can do it all. Or a hands-free bladeless personal fan that'll keep you cool on the beach, during hikes, or even while lounging around in your backyard. It's like a constant gentle breeze that'll actually make your time out in the sun a little enjoyable. A bottle of eye drops because allergies are no joke (thanks a lot pollen) and you need those red eyes to clear up ASAP. Plus, these results can last for up to eight hours! An adjustable mister so instead of being attacked by waves of heat, you'll be hit with refreshing droplets of water. It'll cool down the area by up to 20 degrees so you can get your tan on without burning up. The pliable design means you can easily wrap it around another object or just stand it up on its own! A pack of underarm shields because the summer heat and humidity is seriously no joke. Not only will these prevent sweat from going through your clothes, but they'll also help stop pit odors! So don't you worry — even if you're sweating buckets, your clothes can still smell like flowers and sunshine. A hydration backpack that you're going to fall in love with because you'll be able to sip on some water without having to pull out your clunky water bottle as you're trekking through the wilderness. Plus, reviewers love how roomy this bag is — they're able to pack all their essentials in here! Promising reviews: "I bought this for a hiking trip to the Smoky Mountains and it did not disappoint! First, we hiked from 9 a.m. to about 5 p.m. for three days straight, using the bag on each hike. Some hikes were 12 miles, other hikes were less. We hiked in several different weather conditions: sunny/hot and cool/wet/rain. The bag performed perfectly. The first day hiking in the rain (for about 30ish minutes), I did not use the rain cover, and all of my items in the bag remained dry. The next day it rained more, so we used the rain cover, and it did its job and kept the whole bag dry. When we hiked in the heat, the water in the bladder remained cool. I was able to comfortably store my wallet, phone, keys, knife, two sandwich containers, two small bags of chips, and the full water bladder with room to spare. This one bag was used for me and my wife during hikes. The longest hike was up and down a mountain for a total of 12 miles, which took three hours up and 2 1/2 hours down. The water bladder ran out right when we got back to the bottom of the mountain. So, it should be plenty for one person; however, just enough for two." —Krusader171"I purchased this in 2017; it's still working perfectly well in 2025. I use it 5-7 days a week: day hikes, walks to the store, taking my lunch and water to work, and for my computer on road trips. All zippers and clips are still working. No complaints and will replace with another one if this one fails. I'm glad I didn't spend 3x the price on a fancy name brand." —Ray DawleyGet it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in two sizes and in 11 colors). A picnic blanket with stakes because you're just trying to enjoy a nice, calm lunch at the park, but the wind has other plans for you. With four metal stakes you can just stick into the ground, you'll be eating peacefully instead of running to each corner to try to weigh them down. Promising review: "This blanket is perfect for our camping! We use it inside our six-person tent as a cover for the floor between the cots. It cleaned up easily after we tracked in grass and dirt. It is water resistant, as claimed. Our dog spilled her water bowl; the water pooled on the top layer. We missed cleaning up some, and it soaked into the top layer over time, but it did not go through the bottom layer. I like the metal grommets for easy staking to the ground for the picnics or shoreside sitting area." —AMSsGet it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 13 patterns). A pack of UV-sensing stickers, aka the silent version of your mom nagging you to put on sunscreen. You can stick them anywhere on your skin that's exposed (and needs sunscreen), and they'll darken when they detect UV rays, giving you a peaceful notification to reapply! A set of claw-shaped hair clips because the last thing you want on a blazing hot day is your hair stuck to your sweaty neck (bleh). Just toss up your locks in one of these claws in seconds (even if you have long, thick hair!!!) and create a gorgeous hairdo. A sun visor with UPF 50+ that'll protect your eyes and face from the harsh sun and its harmful UV rays — there will be no burns this summer! Major bonus: Instead of your hair getting absolutely flattened like those hydraulic press videos, you'll be able to wear your hair up in a ponytail or messy bun thanks to the open top! And it's easily rolled up, which makes it perfect for packing while traveling. Cult-fave Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen that'll protect your skin with SPF 40. True to its name, it really is ~unseen~ and doesn't leave a white cast, and it's not greasy either! Or! La Roche-Posay sunscreen to shield skin from harmful UV rays while helping prevent breakouts at the same time. This SPF 60 oil-free sunscreen is designed for acne-prone skin, absorbs excess oil, and reduces shine. Or mineral powder sunscreen if you don't like icky, sticky goop being rubbed all around your face. Just dab the brush all over for a matte finish — it also works well as a makeup primer or setting powder! Reviewers also love it for their scalp because it doesn't make their hair greasy (and take it from me, your hair part will DEFINITELY burn if you don't protect it). Over 40,000 customers bought it in the past month, so what does that tell you? A pack of towel bands, because don't you just hate when your towel flies away when you're not laying on top of it?! (And then you look silly chasing after it — ugh, first-world problems.) This nifty little rubber band will ensure that your towel stays put when you leave it alone to take a dip in the pool. A pair of beach socks that'll keep your precious feet protected from blazing hot sand and sharp rocks instead of feeling like you're walking on hot coals. You can also wear them into the water so every time your foot grazes against seaweed or algae, you won't scream bloody murder. A cut-to-size aloe wrap so you can target your sunburn's most painful spots and get some sweet, sweet relief. It's infused with aloe vera, green tea, and vitamin E that'll not only reduce redness and that burning sensation but also hydrate your skin to minimize peeling. And a tube of Burt's Bees After Sun soother if people keep referring to you as Mr. Krabs after a long day under those strong UV rays. The aloe and coconut oil formula will calm burns and hydrate your skin so you don't wince every time your shirt touches your back. A sand-removal bag because the last thing you want during your relaxing beach day is to lie on all the sand you dragged onto your towel. The powder inside the bag absorbs moisture so the sand comes off effortlessly when you rub it on your body! A pack of unscented antiperspirant wipes if "sweating buckets" don't even begin to describe your 'pits in the summer. Just wipe these under your arms or anywhere else that, um, "sparkles," and your sweat will be controlled for up to seven days! An anti-chafing balm because the last thing you want to worry about is your skin in the hush-hush spots itching and burning as you sweat. It's scent-free and glides on wherever your need it so your skin will stay silky smooth. And a set of sexy anti-chafe lace bands if your thighs rub together more than a cricket rubs its legs — which creates that annoying itching and burning. Just slide these onto your legs and enjoy dress season without the chafing! A mini first aid kit for all your boo-boos while you're out because the outside world can be dangerous. It's small enough to fit in any bag but this baby holds all first aid essentials. Fingers crossed that you'll never get hurt, but you should keep this in your everyday bag to give yourself peace of mind. A Bug Bite Thing (as seen on Shark Tank) to always keep with you in case those HORRIBLE bugs decide to attack you. Place the suction on top of your bug bite and 🪄abracadabra🪄 — it helps remove the venom that the evil bug left behind. No more swelling or itching, so you can go about your day without anything bothering you. Or some cooling gel patches because immersing yourself in nature when it's warm means mosquitos and that means itching. One of these will give you up to 12 hours of relief and a cooling treatment for your blisters, bug bites, minor burns, and more so you'll go from ughh to *ahh*. Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray that'll keep your hair frizz-free and shiny, even when there's humidity, rain, and heat. Nature doesn't stand a chance. An outdoor fan because the summer breeze simply isn't enough to cool you off. This will circulate air AND prevent any bugs from lingering around. A bag of Liquid I.V. electrolyte drink mix, aka your right-hand man this summer because it'll help you stay hydrated while sweating buckets in the sweltering heat. The best part about it is that nostalgic Popsicle Firecracker flavor (which includes cherry, lemon lime, and raspberry)! The Revlon Volcanic Face Roller because going outside in the heat means a face full of sweat. This soaks up any excess oil throughout the day, leaving your skin feeling fresh. The best part(s)? It can be used over a full face of makeup and is reusable, so you don't have to keep buying blotting papers! An anti-blister balm to prevent, well blisters. During your long hikes, you'll want to keep this fairy godmother with you to save your poor feet through all the hardships they're going through. A pack of deodorant wipes because after being outdoors for a few hours may lead to stinky 'pits. Bring this pack wherever you go and pull one out when you feel like you need to *freshen* up. A set of trekking poles — you may not think you need 'em for your walks, but once you get to the declines, river crossings, and rocky terrains, you'll think otherwise. They're adjustable and come with interchangeable tips that are going to get you through your hike without a single fall (most likely)! Promising reviews: "As a less than experienced hiker with horrible joints, I was very nervous to go on a hiking trip to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. I bought these hiking poles thinking they would shed some of the weight off my knees and ankles. I have NEVER enjoyed hiking more. These poles are my Roman Empire. They saved my life on multiple days and allowed me to keep up with more experienced hikers. They are lightweight and are adjustable in two places. I love them." —Sally"Brought them to New Zealand, where they have been extensively used up and down rugged mountains, traversing thick native bush, and through multiple rocky fast-moving river crossings — these poles stood up to it all!!! They were super easy and quick to adjust to my needs, they are lightweight yet strong. Coming down steep, slippery, muddy slopes in rainy conditions, they kept me upright and saved me from slipping uncountable times. Plus, the handles didn't give me blisters or pain even after using them nonstop for three days in a row. The carry bag is a lovely bonus for storing either in my pack when not needed, or at home in between adventures." —ShellsGet a pair of two from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in eight colors). A travel-size Tower 28 SOS Spray to rejuvenate and refresh your face throughout the day (with or without makeup) whenever your skin starts to feel a little irritated and starts screaming SOS. The hypochlorous acid, a natural ingredient your skin produces, acts as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial to soothe your beautiful skin. A high-voltage bug zapper because A Bug's Life made those pesky critters seem a lot cuter than they actually are. The blue-violet light draws in bugs, and the voltage zaps 'em upon contact. Now you'll be able to chill in the backyard as long as you like without swatting the air and looking like you're fighting invisible demons. A Hairbrella if you've been planning your Hawaii trip for months, but to your dismay, the forecast calls for a storm all week. With this satin-lined cap, the weather won't be raining on *your* parade because it'll protect your hair without drying it out or creating frizz! It folds up tightly, and it sure beats having to pack an umbrella. And a pack of disposable rain ponchos because you're not actually going to let a downpour ruin that hiking trip you've been looking forward to for months, right? Promising review: "On a two-day hiking trip, I had one of these in my backpack. As a monstrous thunderstorm approached, I covered up with this. It kept me perfectly dry while the sky opened up and rained buckets on us for 15 minutes." —J. WeaverGet a five-pack from Amazon for $9.88+ (available in five colors).

35 Products You Absolutely Need This Summer
The Bug Bite Thing for those of you trying to enjoy a nice day out, because nothing ruins a good outing like a painful bug bite. This handy tool sucks up all of the saliva and venom that creepy crawlies leave behind in their wake — reducing any swelling, itchiness, or redness. No smelly creams or chemicals required! And a 10-pack of mosquito-repellent bracelets you will be incredibly grateful you have on hand when those bugs start coming out this summer. Powered by essential oils such as citronella, these bands can help repel the pests without the need to douse yourself in bug spray several times a day. No mosquito will dare approach you as you embark on your daily adventures; these bracelets can help keep any creepy-crawlies far, far away! A pair of down-alternative cooling pillows so you don't overheat in the middle of the night and wake up covered in buckets of sweat. A ChomChom pet hair remover to save you from painstakingly (and ineffectively) lint-rolling your furniture from the unspeakable amount of shedding your furry bestie leaves behind in their wake, which has only gotten worse since the temperatures have gotten hotter. All you have to do is empty the roller when it's full, and it's good to go — no wasteful and annoying sticky sheets required! If you've been putting off buying a swimsuit, a cute crisscross swimsuit so flirty, that special someone across the beach bar is just bound to order you another piña colada. The hard part will be choosing which of the vibrant colors to buy (or, you know, buying several because they're just THAT cute). And for anyone who requires a more modest look, a three-piece, hijabi-friendly swimsuit with a front-zip bodysuit, leggings, and a detachable skirt. Plus, hijabis can rejoice, since this also comes with a classic cap so you don't need to try going into the water with a cloth hijab (which is sooo not fun). A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff you'll want to keep on hand when those kiddos start scribbling all over your walls now that they're home all summer long.
