Mavea Water Filter!
Did you know that Americans purchased nearly 31 billion bottles of water in 2006 and spend $11 billion on bottled water ever year?  Of those bottles, only 10% are recycled, leaving 90% in landfills or as litter every day!  In addition, millions are being spent to clean up these plastic bottles!  (source)
My husband and I always use a water filter to keep our water clean and to avoid wasting bottles, so when I recently received this Mavea Water Filter it was perfect timing as our other filters had surpassed their use!
I love the look and style of this filter and feel so trendy just pouring a glass of water!
My favorite feature is this meter that tells you when to change your filter, which is definitely helpful for me as I don't pay enough attention to this.  It takes about 1 minute to filter the water and to see the filtering process, see here.
Mavea's blog recently started a series called "Cooking with Mavea" so you can look forward to a Simply Life contribution soon in addition to all their other great info and recipes!
