Water filtration may not be the sexiest retail category, but a little company called Move Collective is trying to change all that. Last year, they released Bobble, a very cute bottle that filters water as you drink it. And now they’re taking on Brita with the Bobble Jug, a 64 ounce home filtration product.
The company has sold over 7 million Bobble bottles in the last year, and they’re hoping that a little design and function improvement will help cut into the waste created each day by disposable water bottles being emptied and discarded. More

The archives of a photo stock site are an interesting place. Often they are incredibly helpful when you’re in need of a specific photo to illustrate an article. But sometimes, an innocuous search comes back with very strange results. Like the other day, when I searched “woman smoking” for this post, and came upon a huge cache of pregnant ladies with cigarettes.
Not since the first season of Mad Men have I been inundated with so many images of women trying to harm their fetuses with cigarette smoke. I also had trouble coming up with article ideas that would warrant such photos. But maybe ThinkStock is just preparing for a blogger apocalypse where women start revolting from their reproductive system and we all have to write stories about smoking out the babies that won’t stop coming into our wombs.

Aubrey O’Day isn’t going to let a little something like aging get in the way of her svelte bikini bod. The former Danity Kane singer was crying about her weight during the first episodes of her new reality show All About Aubrey, but now that she’s shed a few pounds, she seems perfectly happy to prance around in the itsiest of itty bitty bikinies.
This weekend in Las Vegas she was running around in a strangely proportioned white bikini and garnering lots of press coverage about her body. And that makes me sad. More

The Lithium Chronicles is a Blisstree series focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of bipolar disorder.
Last time in The Lithium Chronicles, we heard Ross McKenzie’s story of how he got fired by his psychiatrist when he decided to go off of lithium, a drug he took daily for 15 years. Bipolar patients going off of lithium is already a pretty controversial topic. But there’s an extra twist in Ross’ story that isn’t exactly in the mainstream.
Ross attributes the process of chelation with much of his mental health today. More

Vh1′s show Celebrity Rehab may attempt to help those suffering from addiction, but increasingly the show is making a mockery of its patients mental health. The most recent debacle? Real Housewife Michaele Salahi has been booted from Dr. Drew’s rehabilitation facility because she doesn’t exhibit any actual addictions. But that never stopped the show’s casting agents before. So it’s time for VH1’s hit show to get its own rehab. Or maybe the network just needs to drop it cold turkey. More
