Have a Swell Summer

We Trovesters are dedicated S'well enthusiasts. We're in love with the function of these bottles (they keep liquids hot for 12 hours or cold for 24!) but we'd be lying if we said we weren't head over heels with the look of these beauties. Sleek and stylish, and perfectly sized, we consider our S'well bottles a worthy fashion accessory.

As if we couldn't love them enough already, we came across this article online about the 30 Unhealthiest Drinks on the Planet. While we're encouraged to stay hydrated throughout each day, those ubiquitous plastic bottles are not only terrible for our planet but also for our bodies, as it turns out.

The water isn’t the problem here; it’s the BPA in the bottle. BPA is a hormone-mimicking chemical found in nearly all food packaging plastics, and it’s potentially bad news. According to some pools of research, the chemical may promote cancer and render people infertile. To stay hydrated on the go, buy a BPA-free refillable bottle. We’re big fans of S’well bottles, which come in a wide array of fashionable patterns and color pallets.

Perfectly suited for all your adventures...

S'well bottles are the ideal accessory for beach, lake and pool, as well as all your expeditions and travels. Seriously, our S'well bottle is the item we don't leave home without.

Home, office and on the go...

We pour our morning coffee into a S'well, instead of a mug these days. Our mid-morning, lunchtime and afternoon coffees, too.

Packing up for a picnic? The 25 oz holds a full bottle of wine. #justsaying 

Even in a hot (or cold) car, your liquids will stay at the perfect temperature all day.

Swing by to shop our full selection of S'well or nab a limited-edition bottle on our online shop.

We Trovesters appreciate a great drink at the end of the day (or lunch, if conditions are favorable). Therefore, you'll always find cool and chic barware in store. 

While gathering images for this blog post, we started thinking about our treasured and oft used toasts, lovingly gathered during our many travels and friendly fêtes. Pour yourself a glass and cheers with us, won't you?

I say “Cheers, Big Ears” for nearly every clink of a wine glass. My Kiwi sister in law says it’s a New Zealand thing, so I adopted it to make myself feel more international.

In my family, we always say ‘Salud, Dinero y Amor’, which translates to Health, Money & Love in Spanish.

Sometimes, just to switch things up a bit, I go with Áspro Páto, which is Greek for ‘Bottoms Up!’
— Trovester Melani
We always use a quote from the classic film, All About Eve:

”Fasten your seat belts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!”
— Trovester Mark
We learned in Belgium to say ‘Prost!’ and that when you raise a glass, you must make eye contact with your fellow revelers, to avoid bad sex. Is that TMI for the blog?

Salut! Chin chin! Sláinte! 

No matter what your favorite toast is, freshen up your bar game at home and do it with style!
