While the whole 8 cups a day concept is still up for debate, there are some facts we know to be true about drinking water. First of all, it's good for you. Drinking water maintains the balance of body fluids, helps energize muscles and aids digestion. It's also the foundation of any skincare routine. Water helps with natural radiance, tone and elasticity. The bottom line is that skincare and makeup work best on hydrated skin. But now for the ugly truth: disposable bottles are piling up in landfills and taking a toll on the environment. But with reusable bottles, there's something we can do about it, and according to Brita Canada using one can save you $500 a year. In honour of Canadian Water Week, here are 7 water bottles so cool they double as accessories.

If you've started to see these stainless steel bottles everywhere, it's for good reason. S'well's prints, colours and metallics are on trend, plus they keep beverages cold for up to 24 hours and hot for 12 all sans toxins or plastic waste.
