Glass straws may sound strange to you at first, but if you are trying to go green, they will make sense. Think about all the plastic drinking straws that get used once and are trash. It adds up and while it may not be something that you will find in fast food or other restaurants, it is something that you can start in your home.
GlassDharma makes glass drinking straws made exclusively of BOROSILICATE GLASS – the strongest commercially available. Using a formula provided by Corning, Inc., their straws are annealed under computer controlled conditions. The temperature and ramping rates dictated by this formula are crucial to reducing residual stress in the glass and give it the highest possible levels of resistance to thermal and physical shock. The straws are also designed not to have a weak point that would invite breakage. GlassDharma takes great care during the development of their designs, production processes, the monitoring of their kilns and quality control procedures making their straws the most durable on the market. This is what defines GlassDharma as the industry leader.
I received a variety of glass straws from GlassDharma to review, they also sent me the brushes to clean them which are so helpful in making sure the straws are squeaky clean and fresh to use again and again. They are strong and they do feel much better than cheap plastic straws and they also give an elegance to ordinary smoothies and drinks.

SpeakNicely.com was founded by a mother of 5 young children. In shopping for everyday clothes, she realized the lack of items available with good, uplifting, growing messages. All kids like and wear shirts with stuff on them. Why not take the opportunity to build up our own children and bring a beautiful message into the world? Share our vision! I recently connected with Speak Nicely and was asked to choose something to review on Mommy Ramblings. I chose the,”Seek Good, night” tee for my four-year old. The shirt is very high quality and very comfortable it came with a matching bracelet which my little guy loved because his older brothers wear similar ones and he is always taking them. The shirt is made of 100% cotton in a sharp black color with white writing. I love the message and I love the whole idea of the clothing line. What a great way to inspire our children to look for and do good in life.

I was recently asked to do a review for Socks4Life. I gladly accepted and went about their Website selecting some socks to try. I ended up with 3 pairs of women’s super thick boot socks and 1 pair of women’s toe socks. Boot socks come in very handy when sledding or playing out in the snow with the kids and I picked up the toe socks for my daughter. It was very easy to navigate and shop on the site and my order arrived quickly and well packaged. The socks were good quality and I really like the boot socks, they are not so thick that your boots will feel tight but they are warm and comfortable. Socks4Life has first quality socks for men, women and kids. You will find novelty socks, athletic socks, diabetic socks, slipper socks, leg warmers and much more on their site. They are running a great holiday clearance of up to 70% off select items, so you might want to check them out. Orders over $50 ship free.

I recently had the opportunity to work with The Ultimate Green Store when I agreed to review an organic Bum Genius One Size Diaper from them! I had never tried this popular, award winning diaper before, so I was excited to see what the hype was about! One thing I learned soon enough, was that washing it several times before use is less of a suggestion, and more of an important direction! I had only washed the diaper three times, and was wondering why it kept leaking! I re-read the directions to find that I had not washed it enough! After washing it the directed amount of times, I cannot say enough about this diaper! The color of the waterproof outter fabric of my Bum Genius diaper is called Clementine a sweet orange color, the inner material is like a really soft t-shirt material, and what is more comfortable than your favorite t shirt? The soaker is attached to the diaper only on the ends, so it makes it an All-In-One diaper but it allows it to dry faster because the soaker bulk has air flow unlike normal AIOs! So you get the convenience of an AIO without the long drying time! It has great absorbency, and of course, no leaks! This 100% organic Bum Genius diaper is trim, fit great and is very good quality!
