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.

I love frameless doors but I decided on frosted glass and I am very comfortable with my decision.
Even after deciding on the glass there were other decisions on the doors to make such as the finish on the door trim and whether I wanted a sliding door or one that opens out. I chose the sliding option just because I would be afraid of my little ones coming in and slamming it accidentally and I know it would make me a wreck.
The sliding option cost more but not as much as my sanity. There were only 2 choices for the trim and I chose the stainless steel over chrome, again pricier but I think easier to care for and more high-end than chrome which is fitting of a master bath.
The company I dealt with for the shower components was Vigo Industries and they were excellent and the gentleman that assisted me was helpful and answered all my questions. He even preferred the frosted glass as well which made me feel even more secure with my choice. So what are your thoughts on shower doors? Do you have clear glass frameless? Do you love or hate them or have a love, hate relationship with them? Do you have frosted frameless doors? Are you happy with them or do you regret having picked them?
