Empty Nest: eye wear review

Something for Nothing

A few weeks ago I received an email from an eye wear company called Firmoo offering me a FREE pair of glasses OR sunglasses; prescription OR not in exchange for writing an objective review. I couldn't pass this up! So I ordered these sunglasses (only mine are ivory):

I didn't order them for my prescription because I don't wear prescription sunglasses and my eye glass prescription needs to be checked so I didn't want to order any glasses with the old prescription.

I tried taking a picture of myself with the new sunglasses on and, in the process, realized three things:

I suck at taking pictures of myself
My bathroom mirror needs to be cleaned.
I hadn't touched my hair since the morning run.

Here it is anyway---I don't normally wear light colored sunglasses but I really like these! I'm laughing because I kept getting the flash and nothing else. Remember, empty nester entertainment is self imposed:

Now here's the good news: if you go to the Firmoo website you can order your FIRST PAIR of prescription/non prescription glasses/sunglasses for FREE! All you pay is shipping. That's it!

Once I remember to set up an appointment with the eye doc, I'm going to order my glasses from this company. I'm satisfied with the quality of the sunglasses and the customer service folks at Firmoo proved to be kind and willing to go that extra mile. They also have a virtual try on thingy. You know, where you can put the glasses on different models to see what they look like? You can also add a picture of yourself to use. Not to mention that the wait time was minimal.

OH! And the day I decided which sunglasses to order, they did not have the ivory in stock. No problem. They had them the very next day!

Just click HERE if you'd like to check out the company. They offer glasses for men and women. And who can pass up a FREE pair of glasses?

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!
