CONGRATULATIONS, IKKINLALA! Glass Dharma should be contacting you shortly. I hope you have fun shopping and using their beautiful products. :)

Thank you all for entering. I always feel so disappointed when I don’t win a contest that I was hoping to, so I know how many of you must feel.  Even if it’s just a silly little giveaway, it can be kind of disappointing. I wish everyone could win!

Remember, you can still enter my Zevia giveaway, which has 3 winners! But hurry, it ends on March 15. (I realize this giveaway was a little too long—but, hey, is was my first one…I’m just learning the ropes.)

Okay, I am pretty much stoked out of my mind about this news: the generous people at Glass Dharma have offered the chance for one lucky reader to win a $25 coupon code to shop on their online store! That’s right. I’m having a giveaway!!!

So, what is Glass Dharma? Two words: glass straws. This company makes the most beautiful, elegant beverage accompaniments you can imagine. Maybe it’s just because of my love of all things retro, but from the minute I heard about these darling little works of art I was smitten.  In my mind the only thing better than a green smoothie is a green smoothie with a straw this lovely. They kindly sent me three of them to review, and so far I AM LOVING THEM!

Perhaps I seem to be getting a little too excited about drinking straws. Well you’ll get excited too once you learn a little more about them:

• All of their products are made in USA!
• Their straws are non-porous and hypoallergenic
• All straws are handmade from borosilicate glass—the strongest type of commercially available glass on the market.
• If you accidentally damage or break your straw, they will repair or replace it for free!
• Straws are safe to use in both hot and cold liquids
• They are microwave and dishwasher safe
• To learn more about Glass Dharma visit their FAQ page

In case you’re still not convinced that you need a glass straw, let me give you a few reasons:

• They are incredibly eco-friendly (never throw away a straw again!) 
• Drinking from a straw helps protect your teeth from corrosion
• No more nasty chemicals from plastics leaching into your beverage
• They are gorgeous works of art. ‘Nuff said.
