Congratulations to Commenter #68 Rae T.! In our house, we consume drinks that require straws on a daily basis. Not so much the adults in the house, but definitely the children! I really didn’t like the fact that we were going through SO many disposable straws. I try to be as environmentally conscious whenever I can! I had seen Glass Dharma straws pop up here and there all over the internet recently and I was extremely happy to be able to give them a try in our family! We received a variety of shapes and sizes to try out and … Continue reading →

The smoothies are fat free and made with real fruit. They contain no artifical colours or flavours and you can add low fat yogurt to get some dairy into your diet and … Continue reading →
