Straws are a Girl’s Beauty Best Friend

Forget diamonds – what good are those shiny, exorbitantly expensive things? As Holly Golightly from Breakfast At Tiffanys said:  “But it's tacky to wear diamonds before you're forty.” Therefore, I am focusing my energy elsewhere until I reach that pinnacle age.

I want to enthuse the virtues of drinking with straws today. It’s something I read that stars like to do ages ago, in order to prevent teeth staining. Think about it – drink coffee, tea or coke straight from a glass and you’ll risk the liquid coming into contact with your pearly whites. Use a straw and it’s problem solved!

I generally only drink water, but still like using a straw because it reduces the chances of me swallowing whatever lipstick or lip gloss I’m currently wearing. However nice a product tastes, I doubt excess consumption constitutes a healthy diet. An added bonus is that straws are less likely to ruin the perfect lipstick you've just applied. 

Straws are so cheap in multipacks – I got this from Asda for £1.50 (methinks). It’s a simple way of preventing teeth staining and (in my case) alleviates fears of consuming my lipstick with every sip.
