WITH COMMENT #10

Yum, yum yummy......I just love a fresh strawberry smoothie! I'll drink them anytime of year but summer is definitely the best. And, of course, they must be consumed through a straw!

I have a hard time keeping straws in this house because I don't wash the plastic ones. They just don't seem to clean well enough.

I've found a solution to my straw problem when I found Strawesome!

Strawesome manufactures glass drinking straws!

Here is the one I received for review.

Each straw is one of a kind

I have so many good things to say about this company.

But I will only share 2 that most impressed me

They are handmade in the U.S. by a stay-at-home mom. You go-girl!
They offer a lifetime guarantee...if it breaks, they will replace it FREE!

Here are ten reasons (in no particular order) why reusable glass drinking straws are the way to go: (From the Strawesome website)

Concern about plastic usage is at an all-time high. Glass drinking straws are one way to limit your exposure to toxins from plastics because they are toxin-free! No BPAs, phthalates, etc.
If you use straws a lot, think about how many plastic straws you throw in to a landfill every year. Including the instances you dine out at restaurants this number can be astronomical! Being green has never been so easy. Replacing your disposable plastic straws with a glass straw is one little thing you can do to help save our planet.
The feeling of glass on your lips will help you lose weight on your hips! Not only is it fun to drink from a glass straw but studies have shown that drinking from something more substantial than plastic may help you lose weight.
Strive to consume more water? Make it fun with a glass straw. It really works!
Want to help your kids eat more fruits & vegetables? Make it fun with a green smoothie and a glass straw.
According to speech therapists, glass straws help kids with oral development making it easier for them to learn to articulate and pronounce words.
Jaw wired shut or have a hard time eating without a straw? A glass straw might do the trick!
Has your dentist mentioned teeth staining? Use a glass straw to have your beverages bypass your teeth when you drink coffee, tea, red wine, or any acidic beverage and then see what your dentist says at your next checkup.
If you are a smoothie lover, guess what? Yep! Glass straws make smoothie consumption a whole 'notha experience. Perfect for the green smoothie, protein shake, or any thick beverage!
Want a gift for the person who has everything? Buy them a personalized glass straw from Strawesome. Drinking straws are great gifts for special occasions like bridal showers, baby showers, weddings, or corporate gifts.
