Sorry I’m not an enlightened tap water enjoyer like I just can’t do that to myself…
I’ve posted about her a few times. I’m a cheapskate and try to get deals on everything by buying used or refurbished or open box so this one stands out as one of my best pricier purchases. It’s about $400 so it’s not super expensive but it is compared to a Brita pitcher lol.
I thought about getting a Berkey but they are so huge and cumbersome and I didn’t want something that took up so much space + after doing research I decided the Bluevua filtration system is superior.
It’s honestly such a cool little device!! It’s just a tad bigger than a drip coffee machine and has a similar setup where the water is filtered into a borosilicate glass pitcher. It shows you the contaminant particulate level on the display. The water goes through four steps of purification and then a remineralization step. The filters last about one to two years. I just replaced mine for the first time since buying it and it was crazy how heavy the filters were compared to the new ones! And obviously it’s PORTABLE so you can take it with you anywhere you move.
It comes out tasting like the purest most perfect water you’ve ever seen. I used to have a Penguin filter pitcher and I hated that if I left a glass of water standing for too long it would have a weird taste but that never happens with this water because there’s nothing in it to like go bad or whatever 🤢 If you love the taste of bottled water but don’t want to expose yourself to microplastics and want to stop creating so much waste this is the MOVE and it’s much cheaper in the long run.

I learned recently that we should be drinking 3.7 liters of water a day (2.7 liters for women). It was tough for me to reach that quota because my bottle was so small, and I had to twist the cap every time to take a sip (lol, it’s a lot of effort okay?). On a different note, I’ve been trying to ditch Hydroflasks and Swells because they leave the smell of drinks that aren’t water and their straws are really hard to clean (again, first world problems). So Alex told me about Purist. The inside of Purist bottles are constructed with a thin wall of glass, so no smell, and easier to clean, yay! I got the Founder 32oz with a Union top, so it’s easy to take a sip and no straws to clean. It’s been about two weeks, and ya boy is a hydrated happy camper.

Yes it is a stanley dupe. But it is SO MUCH BETTER.
the straw mouthpiece can be folded down so that it’s not open to the air all the time and it’s actually leakproof. The sheer size of this vessel doubles as a weapon when fully filled w water. The insulation works so well for hot&cold drinks. Mine keeps ice cubes unmelted for almost 24 hrs. The wide lid opening makes it easy to clean the inside. The handle is so solid and perfect. I have dropped her many times and she is sturdy. You will never have to suffer the fate of running out of water too early… and the size of this thing + the straw makes you drink so much more water. If you dont want to use a straw, there’s a sip mouthhole for hot drinks. Basically everything a Stanley bottle is, but addresses all it’s short comings.
I bought mine for less than $30CAD after tax at winners but you can buy it online on their website for like $25USD.
ALSO LIFETIME WARRANTY which I have already claimed once bc my lid was getting gross (one caveat but oh well)
Everywhere I go people always ask me about my giant water bottle. I love her.

My faucet is moldy. My pipes are rusted. My cups are dirty. But you bet your fucking ASS I’m not buying bottled water. No siree not for me. A brita? Oh sorry I don’t remember becoming a millionaire.

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌

I’ve been thinking about how much of social media is centered around curating our self-image. When selfies first became popular, they were dismissed as vain and vapid—a critique often rooted in misogyny—but now, the way we craft our online selves feels more like creating monuments.
We try to signal our individuality, hoping to be seen and understood, but ironically, I think this widens the gap between how others perceive us and who we really are. Instead of fostering connection, it can invite projection and misinterpretation—preconceived notions, prefab labels, and stereotypes. Worse, individuality has become branded and commodified, reducing our identities to products for others to consume.
On most platforms, validation often comes from how well you can curate and present your image—selfies, aesthetic branding, and lifestyle content tend to dominate. High engagement is tied to visibility, not necessarily depth or substance. But I think spaces like PI.FYI show that there’s another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. It’s refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, I’ve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentional—something that contributes to the story I want to tell rather than defining it. Sharing less allows me to express who I am beyond appearance.
For women, especially, sharing less can be a radical act in a world where the default is to objectify ourselves. It resists the pressure to center appearance, focusing instead on what truly matters: our thoughts, voices, and authenticity. I’ve posted a handful of pictures of myself in 2,500 posts because I care more about showing who I am than how I look.
In trying to be seen, are we making it harder for others to truly know us? It’s a question worth considering.
