Chic usually isn’t a requirement when shopping for a new water bottle, but when you find one that’s this pretty, why not? Arcona’s ARC water bottle with time marker is such a vibe that it’s Instagram-worthy. Tall, made of glass, with time markers included.
This bottle features a sleek and minimalist design that’s sure to turn heads wherever you take it. Made from high-quality glass, it’s the ideal drinking partner for anyone who’s all about aesthetics and needs a little nudge about sipping on water. And with its durable construction and leak-proof lid, you can trust that this water bottle will be your trusty companion for years to come.
But it’s not just a pretty face. This water bottle also features time markers to help you stay on track with your hydration goals throughout the day. With its generous 32-ounce capacity (that’s like four regular-sized water bottles, people!) you can stay hydrated for longer without having to refill constantly.
And let’s not forget how convenient it is to carry around. It’s lightweight enough that you can toss it in your bag and take it with you everywhere you go, whether it’s to the gym, the office, or running errands.
But the real magic of this water bottle is how it makes staying hydrated a breeze. With its time markers, you’ll never have to wonder if you’ve had enough water throughout the day. Plus, there’s a reminder to go ahead and refill it once you’re down to the last drop.
Whether you’re someone who already loves to drink water or you’re really making it your goal to stay more hydrated, the ARC bottle is a must-have for either case. Don’t be thirsty.

One thing about me is that there isn’t much that can get between me and my Stanley. I can pinpoint the exact moment I learned about them: My sister ordered one after getting served an Instagram ad (naturally) and because we’ve been silently competing our entire lives, I needed one too. Ever since, they’ve been all over my FYP and in the hands of pretty much every millennial (and Gen Z-er for that matter) that I run into.
Honestly, this water bottle has been there for me through thick and thin—from the mornings when I’ve woken up with a hangover and my mouth is drier than the Sahara Desert, to essentially being a full-on self defense tool when I’m walking somewhere alone. (I’m convinced that when it’s full it’s comparable to a 10lbs. dumbbell). It’s basically an emotional support water bottle at this point.
I know what you’re probably thinking “it’s just a f*cking cup, it’s not a big deal.” But what you might not understand is that I’ve literally tried every water bottle known to man because somehow every January I find myself making the same New Year’s resolution to drink more water. And, when I say nothing compares to this tumbler, I mean it. It’s truly elite with it’s easy-to-hold handle (even though I’d like to think I’m strong, I don’t have the grip of a NBA player), to being the size to fit into a cup holder, and it’s ability to keep things as hot and cold as one of Katy Perry’s first radio hits.
And because I’m a millennial, I tend to collect things. So when I found out the promise land Target was dropping some new exclusive colors obviously, I needed to get my hands on one. Because above all else, there’s one rule I live by and it’s this: if I love it, I’ll buy it in every color.
Similarly to the way Kylie Lip Kits sold out circa 2015, I wouldn’t sleep on these if you actually want one. Considering that any viral TikTok makeup trend will literally clean Sephora of any and all products, I have a feeling the same logic will apply here.
And while these exclusive colorways will run you $5 more than the standard 40oz Stainless Steel H2.0 FlowState Quencher Tumbler, I would still consider them worth it. I bought my first Stanley over 2 years ago and even though I literally take it everywhere (see above about it being an emotional support water bottle) it looks like a bought it yesterday and mine is WHITE. Like, if anything is going to show dirt or any bang ups, it’s going to be a white one. Not to mention, the colors that are now available are giving me a total serotonin boost.
I just bought the Citron Tie-Dye and it’s become my entire personality. And considering spring is right around the corner, it’s time we lightened up a little—and my fave colors do just that.
Ocean Tie-Dye That Makes Me Happier Than Any Medication Could
Is it a coincidence that the blue tie-dye compliments my Zoloft perfectly? Probably, but it makes taking my daily medication less of a chore.

This Citron Green Literally Reminds Me Of a Margarita
There may or may not be tequila instead of water in my tumbler, but this is a no judgement zone so who cares.

Peach Tie-Dye That Will Help Me Fit In At Coachella
If I don’t bring a tie-dye Stanley cup to stay hydrated at a 3 day music festival, did I even really go?

Getting your bridesmaids a gift is kind of like answering your grandma’s butt-dial calls: it’s not necessary, but you do it anyway because it’s the right thing to do. Brides, you don’t have to buy us jewelry with our names spelled out in diamonds, but getting us a little something is a really nice gesture that goes a long way! Seriously, there are a lot of friends to dump after your wedding and bridesmaids shouldn’t be on that list, so get us a pair of monogrammed slippers or something else we can lose keep forever to be reminded of that time you conference-called us at 3am on a Tuesday to ask if your dress is “too white.” Memories to look back on fondly, am I right?
Generally, the bride gives her bridesmaids gifts both when asking them to be in the wedding and on the big day. Hope this is news to no one. So if you’re a bride wondering what to give your loyal hoes in different area codes that you want by your side for your wedding, look no further! From the always-a-bridesmaid-never-a-bride herself, here are my personal recommendations for bridesmaids gifts.
Island to East Side Custom Clutch
Look, getting a gift for a group of people must be hard, so get us one we will all definitely love…like this clutch! There are 39 bag colors to choose from and about a million ways to personalize the writing, so you really can’t go wrong here. In case any of my friends who are about to get married are reading this, my personal favorite is the mini structured asymmetrical clutch with matte silver beads, white letters and a removable silver strap, but I’ve only spent two hours of my life on this site, so what do I know? As someone who has received many a stupid gift, I can confidently say that these very chic clutches are a good move because we will actually wear them again, unlike the monogrammed onesie that “got lost” during my move.
Shop Betches Bridesmaid Mug
If you’re a bridesmaid, there is a 110% chance that you are drinking a steamy caffeinated beverage at some point between “will you be my bridesmaid?” and the big day, so why not sip said coffee out of a hilarious mug that will most definitely make anyone who sees you with it smile? I have seven beautiful Anthropologie mugs and this mug, and guess which one everyone loves the most when they open my kitchen cabinet looking for wine glasses? Yep, the Shop Betches one.
BKR Spiked Tutu 500ml
Even though water gives us everything we need to survive and rock a beautiful glow, we do not drink enough of it. Maybe it’s because I’m really busy and forget, or maybe it’s because my big-ass mason jar just isn’t inspiring me. I’ll never know. The first time I saw one of these chic BKR water bottles was in a barre class a year and a half ago, and I’ve thought about getting one every day since. Here’s a few reasons why: they’re glass, so you’re not ingesting all of the toxic sh*t like BPAs commonly found in plastic water bottles, the part you sip from is small, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally dumping water all over yourself at work when you guzzle, and they’re really pretty, so your desk and/or nightstand will look that much cuter. Personally, I like the spiked silicon sleeve, as opposed to the smooth one, because it’s really cute but also badass, which is what every bridesmaid should aspire to be, in my opinion.
Pinch Provisions Minimergency Kit For Bridesmaids
My sister-in-law gave these to her bridesmaids the day of her wedding and let me just say, I am impressed with how useful this tiny pouch and its contents were to me that day. These little guys are 3.5’ x 2” x 2” and are stuffed with fashion tape, floss, nail polish remover, ibuprofen, tissues, earring backs, blotting wipes, bobby pins and a bunch of other sh*t. I am a very organized person and generally always have my bases covered, but on the day of her wedding, the hair stylist accidentally knocked my earring back out and I chipped a nail trying to find it. If you thought my sister-in-law was about to let me walk down the aisle with a chipped nail and one earring, think again. Luckily, I had my handy-dandy Minimergency Kit to save the day! They come in eight different colors, four of which are sparkly, so take your pick!
Sugarfina Will You Be My Bridesmaid Bento Box
People who don’t like sweets are not to be trusted. Sugarfina products are truly superior to all other candy companies, so getting not one, but three of the brand’s signature boxes is a great gift. The bento box is filled with three of Sugarfina’s best-selling gummies, which include Champagne bears, Pink Diamonds, and Champagne Bubbles. The boxes are enclosed with a sticker that reads, “will you,” “be my,” and “bridesmaid?” I mean, is that cute or what? Fun fact: the Champagne Bears are made with Dom Pérignon!
