It’s that time of year already where it’s Christmas in July! We can finally start thinking about Christmas…or maybe not…but it is Christmas in July this month, so why not?! It’s the halfway point to Christmas time. I can’t believe that we will all start thinking about the holidays before you know it, and school will be back soon too. It’s always crazy to think about all this once July hits. I have some great items for Christmas in July though. Check them all out, and maybe get some early gifts this year.

AquaTru Classic

The AquaTru Classic is a high-performance countertop water purifier featuring a 4-stage Ultra Reverse Osmosis® system that removes harmful contaminants like lead, PFAS, fluoride, chlorine, and microplastics. Designed for households seeking reliable, great-tasting water, the Classic operates without plumbing or installation and includes long-lasting, easy-to-replace filters housed in a BPA-free body. This machine is definitely great for those looking for more fresh and clean water. I always want to do what’s right and keep my kids and I safe from all those harmful items, and having a filtered water system like this was is really helpful. You never know what may be in your water now, so having a system like this can help get rid of those harmful contaminants and help keep you and your family safe. It’s such an easy system to get set up and use too. I am sure you’re going to love it!
