But much to my surprise, I was the winner! I scored an awesome gift certificate to purchase re-usable, eco-friendly glass drinking straws. As soon as I got my certificate code, I rushed to the Glass Dharma website to make my selections. As a daily consumer of smoothies, fresh juices, and green powder drinks, I go through a lot of plastic drinking straws. And that doesn't really jive with my eco-conscious way of livin'.
Thankfully, these sturdy, hand-blown glass straws will ease my green conscience. My $25 gift certificate was enough to purchase two smoothie-sized straws (they're priced according to size) and a cleaning brush. I chose one Decorative Dots straw:
Though this Beautiful Bends model is smoothie-sized, it also worked well for suckin' up my iced green tea:

oh my gosh Bianca! you lucky dog! I enter giveaways ALL THE TIME, and I never win. Oh well, I'm lucky in other ways! :)
Today I bought some giant colored tapioca pearls at the Chinese market, so I'll have to find some giant straws for homemade tapioca drinks. :)
What a wonderful idea - glass straws! And they are beautiful - hourrah for winning & green living!
I won a 25 dollar gift certificate from Glass Dharma too, from An Opera Singer in the Kitchen! I can't wait for my smoothie straws:)
That's awesome! I'm gonna have to buy me some! I always felt guilty using those plastic ones, and I've worked in various restaurants and seeing hundreds of straws being thrown away on a daily basis made me sick to my stomach.
But now I can smoothie suck with no worries!
I love the glass straws!!
Hahaha...during the first few moments I looked at the top picture, I thought it was a staring at a photo of a bong. I was like, woah Bianca!
What a cool idea, I always feel guilty using plastic straw too. These would be a great investment.
Very nice! They would make cool presents too!
those straws are awesome!
How cool! I had never seen glass straws before but they are a great idea! YAY! Enjoy!
Cool! I was actually looking at the glass dharma website last night and thinking about ordering some of those dots straws. They're so cute! Lucky you!
Congrats! I NEVER win anything on blog giveaways, but I love to try and never give up, lol!

Okay this might make me sound nutz but I use plastic straws daily and I feel SO SO SO bad about doing it that I wash them and use them till they crack. I NEED and WANT these staws and I have NEVER heard of anything like this before - Thank you.
