PROPEL VITAMIN WATER: The New Must-Have Accessory
I carry a big bag, not because it’s trendy but for the basic reason that I have to. It’s full and quite heavy, and it probably accounts for the slight hardening of my trapezius muscles, and if I were to listen to doctors, is probably also responsible for my upper back pains. However, this is not another case of suffering for the sake of style. If you ask me what I have inside, I’d tell you that they’re all necessities, everyday things that would screw up my daily schedule and muddle up my routine even if just one would be unloaded: mobile phone (and sometimes the charger), wallet, a bottle of baby cologne, hand sanitizer, USB card, makeup kit, oil blotting paper, car and home keys. and now, Propel Vitamin Water!
With the job that I have — highly mobile and flexible — it’s become necessary to have a bottle of water handy in my bag. Sometimes it gets so hectic that I don’t realize that half a day has passed without my drinking a single drop of water. In the craziest of days, I have to forego a proper lunch just to meet a deadline. Sipping water though keeps me going, that is, until I finally get a chance to eat. Water, I’ve read, helps stave off hunger pangs, albeit (and this has to be stressed) temporarily. I’ve also recently realized that the sweetened taste of flavored Propel Vitamin Water also helps fight sweet cravings, another advantage if you, like me, have a sweet tooth — it actually scares off cavities. So toting around a bottle in my bag actually helps my diet and my health, too. Also, I discovered quite some time ago that the sugar in most soda and juices slows me down and the caffeine in frappes makes me feel as giddy and tremulous as a fish out of water.
Bagging Propel Vitamin Water has actually become a common practice in the publishing industry; it’s infinitely more practical, not to mention efficient. When you’re glued to your computer trying to finish a particular lay-out, bagged bottled water is less stressful to just fish inside your bag for hydration rather than try to come up with change for the vending machine or walk to the nearest convenience store. A lot of magazine editors make it a point to keep bottled water within arm’s reach. FHM editor in chief Allan Madrilejos’ desk is usually not without a bottle of the clear liquid. The same can be said of the editors of Cosmopolitan. Even in YStyle, coming in with water in our bags has become a most ideal solution to always stepping out for a quick drink — we think of it as the newest must-have accessory.
