Recycle Scene

February 1st, 2013 by Daedra Surowiec

I was recently introduced to the online resource for all things recycled called Recycle Scene.  And being that it’s February they have some great ideas for Valentines that I plan to use with my two boys.

I love this website because it’s a great resource for people that have been recycling for years and need to step it up and find creative outlets for their recycling.  On top of the many great craft ideas they also have ongoing ideas on how to recycle items you might not think about, why you should buy something that is recycled and my favorite – going BEYOND the recycling. Small things add up (like straws) but so do many other things. Read the rest of this entry »

Straw Storage Solution

January 28th, 2013 by Daedra Surowiec

One of the many concerns with glass items like our Strawesome straws is where to store them when they are not in use.  While we offer up our own ideas on storage it would be nice to hear how everyone else stores their straws.

Your Life Depends On It

September 14th, 2012 by Strawesome

If you eat food, then your health and quality of life are at risk. If you haven’t heard of the company Monsanto, then we highly recommend you do some research (like your life depends on it) and learn how that company is affecting your health through its involvement in farming and more. You might be beyond shocked. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s the end of the summer! And if you’re like me you’ve eaten pretty good with all the produce that’s in season but there may have been a bit more alcohol, sugar and all around gluttony than usual.  And now you feel icky…

My Labor of Love

August 30th, 2012 by Strawesome

Labor Day, Sept 3, 2012 is a day that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers. So that got me thinking about what I could celebrate about the work I do. Here’s a few thoughts about why Strawesome is my Labor of Love:

1. I don’t know if I’ve ever thought about being someone that made a difference, but through Strawesome, I’m contributing to the health and well-being of people and the planet. It is happening naturally and that makes it so satisfying.

2. I have fun at work and I love it! Strawesome is a lot of hard work, especially while being a mom, but it provides an outlet to get my creativity out.

3. Strawesome is another way to be with and provide for my family. I love that our family business gives us the flexibility to be there for our kids and that they can be included now and in the future.

What about you? What is your labor of love? Share with a comment below. I’ll pick a winner Tuesday after Labor Day and send you a FREE glass straw! One entry per person.

Back to Work!
