Strawesome Reusable Glass Drinking Straw Review & Giveaway (***CLOSED***)
3:37 PM Posted by Mommy Is Green
I've been replacing as many plastic items as I can with glass in my household. I don't have to worry about BPA, PVC, phthalates, or other toxins when it comes to glass. It's free of those chemicals and it's non-leaching to boot.
I've been using a decorative bent straw from Strawesome. It has a fun orange swirl and small blue dots that add a stylish touch to my beverages. It's made from very strong borosilicate glass — the same kind of glass Pyrex® is made from. I'm a huge fan of it as I also have a coffee mug made from borosilicate glass. That's part of the reason I was attracted to this straw. I already knew it would be able to handle hot as well as cold beverages. In addition, it's dishwasher safe because it's annealed.
I honestly hadn't used straws at home in quite some time. But now that I've found glass straws from Strawesome, I'm happy to be using straws again. I try to drink a healthy amount of water each day. I find that I drink more water when I use a straw. I'm not quite sure why that is, although it's completely true. Drinking straight from a glass, I tend to forget about drinking my water throughout the day. A straw is so much more fun and I remember. Especially when it's decorative!
Strawesome makes several different kinds of straws such as regular, bent, decorative, colored, smoothie, cocktail, bubble tea, and kid straws. I'm a big fan of the decorative straws because you can match colors to your dining decor and spice up any drink for get togethers. I also think they would make great party gifts for wedding showers or any kind of event.
And also, don't forget the best benefit of all to using glass straws — less waste! When we get a beverage while eating out somewhere we don't always think of the waste disposable straws create. It may seem like something very small to throw away a straw, but just like everything else disposable, it all adds up. That's why I like that Strawesome also offers carrying cases. You can take your reusable straws with you.
Strawesome straws are Made in the USA and carry a lifetime guarantee against breakage. If you break a straw, they will replace it. You can't beat that!
WIN IT!!!
One lucky Mommy Is Green reader will win a
Decorative Artist's Choice Straw from Strawesome.
