The weather is turning warmer again this week and I am so glad. Last week was pretty chilly most days. When the temperatures start rising I think about staying hydrated! There are four beverages that I drink consistently and they are Diet Coke, Big Red, sweet iced tea, and water. I do not drink as much sweet tea now as I used to and I am trying really hard to cut out the soda, which makes it easier to drink more water. There are so many wonderful benefits to drinking water but I do not drink as much as I should. However, I find that when I drink water using a straw I tend to drink a lot more!
Straws are relatively inexpensive but I found a package of straws at the Dollar Tree for only one dollar: definitely budget-friendly! The straws are not individually wrapped so I wanted to find a storage solution where the straws wouldn't get dirty. It was a challenge to find something tall enough or big enough to fit all the straws but then my daughter suggested I use an empty cotton candy container. I tried one straw to see if it would fit and it was perfect! So I made a video... it's only a couple of minutes long, to encourage you to repurpose something headed for the trash and find a new use for it! I hope you enjoy the video.
Hugs,
