Evian Natural Spring Water--Inspired by the French Alps --Great Holiday Suggestions


Water covers approximately 71% of the Earth's surface. mostly in oceans and other large bodies of water. The majority of us don't really think much about where our water comes from. We open the tap and it simply flows out. However, a percentage (1.6%) of our water comes from below the ground, in aquifers and springs. For those who want the purest water possible, spring water is the beverage of choice. A spring is a point where the water flows out of the ground. Sometimes this happens year-round and sometimes, the spring only is active when there is a lot of rain, or the snow is melting. A spring often sends water down, along the land, gathering up some good minerals as it flows.


You may think that water is just water, so who cares? But some of the minerals in Spring water are considered to be extra healthy. And, since designers are putting their names and their visions on just about everything these days, why not also, water? Evian®, for example, has made water fashionable and festive. Our bodies are approximately 2/3rds water. Without water, we would simply not exist!

But spring water, elegantly served from a beautiful bottle, nourishes the spirit as well as the body. You might not be able to buy your special friends a palace, but you can treat them to water fit for royalty, with the Evian® Palace Bottle $43.95/dozen. The plastic bottle, made of recyclable Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is long and slim, embossed at the bottom with a 3D depiction of the French Alps. This bottle can also be found in some of the nation's hottest restaurants, clubs and hotels. A case of 12, available for home delivery, is an economical and festive alternative to wine at the table for the holidays. Of course, it makes everyday dining more elegant, too.
Add The Palace Bottle Pourer $15.00 to make the presentation, and pouring, even more luxe. The 100% stainless steel pourer fits perfectly on the Evian® Palace Bottle. For those who really love designers and fashion, there's the beautiful, Christian Lacroix Prêt-à-Porter glass bottle $13.95 or $118.00/12. The designer's vision features a voluptuous, clear glass bottle with slender top, completely decorated with an intricate, lacy, design of ice crystals that symbolize the purity of Evian natural spring water. Once the water has been consumed, you can use the decorated bottles for other purposes--maybe to root some ivy vines, or hold flowers.

A popular product that your skin drinks in from the outside, is the Evian® Brumisateur® facial Spray $10.00 5 fl. oz. (other sizes available). It's been a long time favorite pick-me-up of fashionable men and women to tone, refresh and moisturize their skin. Just one spritz, several times a day, brings comfort to dehydrated skin. Your face won't feel "wet" but it will feel nicely cool, as millions of tiny micro-droplets are absorbed and instantly go to work to moisturize and refresh. That's one of the reasons people tote it on airplanes and to the beach. The ingredients are simple: Evian® Water, propelled by natural and safe nitrogen (80% of the air we breathe is nitrogen) so it does not damage the ozone layer. The neutral pH of Evian® natural spring water invigorates all skin types, ands even sets your makeup.

Even if you don't have the budget for a pricey Bordeaux, you're not into alcoholic beverages, or you're dieting, there is just something so elegant and deliciously decadent about pouring natural spring water from one of these special bottles, or spritzing it on your skin. The water tastes good....great, actually. Like a fine wine, Evian water's mineral composition is developed slowly through nature's own filtration process: at least 15 years journeying through the French Alps! Once you try it you'll be hooked on the feeling. It's a little luxury that you can enjoy year-round, and especially during the holidays.
