This is Obsessed: my weekly column devoted to sharing all the things I’m loving right now—from unique food and gift ideas to travel destinations and beauty products—plus some tips and tricks for living your best life.

I try to do my part to help the environment by reducing, reusing and recycling. And I’m all for saving the sea turtles and dolphins by eliminating harmful plastics in our oceans. But one thing I just can’t get on board with the paper straw trend. They taste terrible and basically disintegrate into my iced coffee within a few minutes of using them. And who wants to suck on what feels like soggy papier-mâché? 

The BiggieStraw isn’t named for the famous rapper, but rather its size. This flexible straw has a much wider opening than its metal, glass and bamboo counterparts and is meant to be used for drinking bubble tea or thick liquids like smoothies and milkshakes. 

But what I love most about The BiggieStraw is its cute little carrying case (which also comes with a handy cleaning tool). The straw folds up into the case, and the case can then be clipped onto your keychain or purse strap for easy access. (Read: You’ll never forget your reusable straw again!)
