Good Morning! Hope all of the moms out there had a nice Mother’s Day! Today is Monday so that means it’s time to flaunt some green stuff!  This product will be added to my list of favorites for sure! GlassDharma creates glass straws for your drinking pleasure.

I have had a good while to use these since I received them before running the Earth Day giveaway.  My sample pack included 1 Beautiful Bends, 1 Decorative Dots & 1 Simple Elegance with cleaning brushes.  I must say these have done wonderful in the dishwasher and I have yet to need the brushes. The Simple Elegance came in a larger size, it would probably do well for smoothies or milkshakes, but since I don’t drink either I haven’t used it much.  The Beautiful Bends I have used occasionally, but it’s more for a tall glass which I also don’t use often.  However, the Decorative Dots has gotten its wear and tear! (Do I sound like I’m making up my own version of the 3 little bears?? LOL)  These straws making sipping your drink so sophisticated! Although, it isn’t the end all answer to the removal of all plastic, like a reusable shopping bag, it’s one more difference you can make to help the environment. I have really LOVED the opportunity to try out these straws!
