Hey Everyone! Looks like I will be having a few more giveaways coming up.. starting with another one today! Last weekend I receive these on my doorstep..
The return address was from Glass Dharma!!! In case you don't know, the glass straws I have been using come from this wonderful company and Glass Dharma was kind enough to send me a straw in every color!
I like to match my straws to my smoothies (a little OCD, YES!). So here is goes: Blue Straw with blueberries, kale, coconut milk, maca, banana, spirulina and Sun Warrior protein.
Amber straw with: Light green smoothie: star fruit, frozen peaches, coconut milk, maca, flax, goji berries, banana and an orange.
Green straw with green smoothie: kale, banana, frozen peaches, coconut milk, spirulina, hemp seeds, and flax.
Red straw with (almost) red smoothie: kale, raspberries, cranberries, banana, coconut milk, green powder and Sun Warrior protein.
Here are some great facts from the Glass Dharma site:- Glass straws don’t leach toxins into your food as you drink.
- Each time you use your glass straw equals one less plastic straw ending up in your landfill.
- One glass straw replaces thousands of plastic straws. (How many times will you use a straw the rest of your life?)
- Using your glass drinking straw adds a feeling of beauty to your day.
Here's how to enter: **U.S. AND Canadian Residents Only, Please Leave one comment for each thing you do!**
1. Go to GlassDharma.com and come back here and tell me one thing you have learned (besides the facts I have listed above)!
For Extra Chances To Win:

they don't break under normal use and you can clean them in white vinegar.
i tweeted it! but you know that already, i'm sure :)

Pyrex! I wondered how they guaranteed it won't break. :)
Neat idea! I learned they used borosilicate glass because it is the strongest commercially available glass on the market. Thanks!
They're great for hot or cold drinks, microwave and dishwasher safe!
Awesome! :D

Tweeted it!
They are made with hemp or bamboo containers. Cool.
I tweeted about your contest and how ppl can win glass straws.
I've been looking for glass straws!! This is perfect :)
Something I learned that was pretty cool:
they're made from a type of glass that's more resistant to thermal shock (so you can put them in dishwasher)
Oooh I totally want one of these: under their FAQ section I learned that if hard water makes it cloudy just soak it in distilled white vinegar and then scrub it to get it back to sparkling.
I linked to you giveaway

I learned that they have three distinct kinds of straws at Glass Dharma and I would really love to win this gift cert. I love this idea! Thank you!
Wow, I learned that there is a lot of variety to glass straws and there are even cleaning brushes and bamboo holding cases for them. I have to say I did not know these even existed. Very cool!

I learned that there are glass straws. Who knew!?

Boo hoo, too bad im not american :(
I'll have to start Canadian giveaways up here Lauren... you just gave me a great idea :)
Oh my gosh! Love them. I learned that they don't break as normal glass might.

I got two glass straws today in the mail and am using one now! I won't enter the contest just so I can let some non-owner win, but I thought I'd comment since I'm currently thrilled about these things :P They're so much more fun to drink out of, and now I won't feel bad about "needing" to use a straw to drink my juices and smoothies.
P.S. I'm now following your blog, it's very entertaining :)
Oh my goodness, they are dishwasher friendly! Yes! These look awesome :)
This sounds awesome. It's a US made product too. Sweet.

I have always been nervous to buy because I have 3 small children, but they are guaranteed. They always look so clean.
Oooh, interesting, I learned that the straws are made out of Borosilicate glass... can be washed in the dishwasher and have a lifetime guarantee! How much better can you get?!
You're already on blogroll and I don't tweet...
Ill keep my fingers crossed :)
Buying from GlassDharma means that your dollar is not going off-shore - it stays right here in the U.S.A.
I tweeted!
I added you to my blogroll--I don't know how you weren't on there yet!
I was excited to hear that they are dishwasher safe! AND they come in so many different sizes!

McDonald's serves 52 million meals a day? That is so wrong!
Love these straws!
They are made of borosilicate tubing and is the strongest glass commercially available and they are dishwasher safe! YAY!
I tweeted here: http://twitter.com/suburbsanity
I learned that borosilicate glass is made with silica and boron oxide.
Those are beautiful straws! I'm pretty OCD, too, but I don't think I'd ever think to match my straw to my smoothie. :) Haha. (I probably will now, though!)
I learned that these are handmade in the U.S.A.! I never win anything, so I hope next Friday is my lucky day!
You're already on my blogroll!
I tweeted the giveaway! twitter.com/domesticvegan
"Made of borosilicate tubing and is the strongest glass commercially available."
Whew! That eliminates any concern of them breaking! I was worried that if I had one of these glass straws, I would most likely drop them (I'm kind of a klutz...) but I guess not! :)
OOH I think I have 3 entries! I have posted your giveaway on my blog...
The straws can chip or break and if they do GlassDharma will replace them or at least try to repair them...
And I am gonna go tweet about you right now = )..
Love the straws!
I've had straw envy for quite awhile now, between you and Sherri (of the Green & Crunchy clan), so this giveaway delights me!
Learned: lifetime guarantee against breakage. Remarkable!
I went to their website and learned that you can wash these straws in the dishwasher. So easy!
they can be used in hot and cold drinks!!!

I learned that they are the strongest glass possible but have a lifetime warranty just in case!

Yay! Yippee! Yahoo! Zowie!!!! A giveaway open to both US and Canadian readers--whoop, whoop!!
Okay, re: the straws: learned they have a lifetime guarantee, which is a good thing, since they're glass! ;) I always wondered about that. . . .love these straws!
I just tweeted, too. Oh, and hope your B-day is phenomenal tomorrow!! :D
You can buy a little cleaning thingy to clean out your straw easily. :)
Thanks for letting us Canadians participate, eh? =)
I like how you can get them to make custom sized straws.

My local recycling company does recycle straws. However, recycling uses up energy. Glass straws diminish the use of that energy. What I learned from the site? How to clean them! That little brush is awesome.
Tweet Tweet! from @rawliving
I learned that the straws are made from borosilicate glass. The strongest commercially available glass on the market. And also that they are dishwasher safe.
Have a happy birthday! Mine is on Thursday.

I learned from the website FAQ that they will replace/repair your straw if it breaks. How cool is that? I initially worried: "oh, they're glass. What if I drop one?" Well, problem solved.
I would love to win this because I want to enjoy my smoothies and lemon water without staining or corroding my teeth as much (as acidic lemon can do). This sound like the brilliant solution. PLUS, they are fun and pretty. :) Thanks for hosting the giveaway, Lauren!!!
