Promising review: "I bought this product hoping for a fresh, divine scent, and wow, it completely blew me away! I’m usually not one to purchase scented products without smelling them first, but I took a leap of faith and it paid off. Hawaiian Bliss is everything I hoped for and more. The scent is absolutely heavenly; rejuvenating, relaxing, and somehow energizing at the same time. After using it, I feel calmer, refreshed, and even a little happier. I genuinely look forward to using it. I’m already planning to order more, not just for myself but to include in gift baskets for friends and family. If you’re on the fence, go for it. Highly recommend!" —K. Marie

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

I am obsessed with mine, which I got in theAmethyst Sustaincolor set (the stickered bottle above). I haven't used a Nalgene since high school but when I lost my usual one and needed a reliable replacement, these were too cute to resist. They are, as always, entirely leakproof, QUITE durable, and most importantly, super lightweight — a boon for me, since I'm a step count monster and always have a tote bag slung over my shoulder.

It took me all of 30 seconds to install, and the brightness settings on the app are perfect. I like that I can set a timer on the light so I don't accidentally leave it on.
