Birthday Giveaway: Strawesome Glass Straw (CLOSED)

I’m not perfect when it comes to being “green,” in fact, I’m far from it but I do try to be more aware and make changes here and there. Every little bit counts, right?

Like drinking straws…

Strawesome is in the business of creating reusable drinking straws made from the same glass that Pyrex is made from, so you know they’re made to last. They even guarantee it! Being the proud owner of a glass straw now enables me to help reduce those pesky plastic straws that end up littering highways and filling up landfills. I also don't have to worry about anything leaching into my beverage like with plastic.

I received my beautiful Valentine’s Day straw, which is so pretty in pink! It has a heart and decorative dots on it (should've taken a pic before it went in the smoothie). Each straw is handmade and truly unique. In fact, I loved my straw so much that I ended up buying a couple more plus a straw cleaner.


For it's inaugural use, hubby made me one of my favorite smoothies: cacao, banana and peanut butter. Mmm!

I’m still getting used to using a smoothie straw (they’re slightly larger in size) but I feel more comfortable knowing it’s non-toxic and reusable. And it's pretty - I know I already said that but it is.

Strawesome has a variety of styles and colors and types and sizes (whew!) even for kids, plus they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on top of a lifetime guarantee against breakage. Doesn’t get much better than that. They’re also economical. When you think of the amount of plastic straws that get thrown out daily spending a few+ dollars for a glass straw isn’t a big deal. They have travel pouches too so it's convenient to keep one with you while out and about.

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow
