Go Green! Fashion Your Own Chip Clips
Ever since Party suggested using wine bottles as darling water holders, I've been wanting to share an eco-friendly tip of my own. If you're like me, you've got a surplus of plastic clamped clothes hangers sitting in your closet.

Get in Gear: Affirm Water Bottles
It's been made pretty clear that a disposable plastic bottle is a monstrosity for the environment, so I am always on the lookout for a personal water bottle that is reusable.

Stay Hydrated With Platypus
Since we all know how bad disposable water bottles are for the environment (since most of them end up in landfills because they don't get recycled), it's a great idea to use a reusable water bottle.

Check out these bottles made by a company called Platypus®.
