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?
The last few weeks I have entered a couple of giveaways that I really wanted to win. I was truly bummed when I didn't win either of them because I really wanted to try the software for digital scrapbooking the bloggers were giving away.
The good news? I was offered an opportunity to review the product AND offer a free copy as a giveaway on my blog!
WHAT?!
That’s exactly right! One of you will win a copy of the software for your very own! Whoop! Whoop!
It's called MyMemories and I really, really like it! Yes, they gave me the software for FREE. But, if I’m nothing else in this world, I am honest. And I have truly been having a total BLAST with this software for digital scrapbooking!
I've been playing around with it for two weeks now (ok, a little more but I ran into that redecorating issue and then Thanksgiving came around...) and I'm nearly finished with two scrapbooks.
Here are the things I enjoyed about the MyMemories Suite:
it's easy! There are plenty of options from which to choose, but not so many that I became overwhelmed.
they offer FREE extras nearly every day!
it's easy! Nothing complicated about how to use MyMemories Suite 2 at all which means instant success!
they are always available to answer any questions!
it's easy! Wait, did I already mention that?
you can be creative!
you can print your pages or have them print a book!
they offer discounts on upgrades!
you can chose from instant pages or make your own!
I don't have a mess all over the dining table with my scrapbooking materials!
if something ever happens to my scrapbooks, I'll have these digital ones! All will not be lost!
I am working on a family album now. I think this is a great way to preserve photos! Yes, it's taking time, but it's so easy and I love playing around with the different options!
This page shows my mother's grandfather, my mother's parents, my mother and her sister and their family.
This will have all the old family photos I have of my mother's family, my dad's family and both sides of Hubs' family!
This page is of my grandparents. I'm pretty sure that they hung the moon AND the stars!
I haven't added any music of played with videos yet. But the options are there!
That's my Granddaddy! I adored him! That's me showing him a doll I got for Christmas.
I'm also working on an album of the lovelies (big surprise, right?)! Again, the pages are NOT complete, I still have to add embellishments. But here's what I have so far on their individual pages--
Then I have Breezy's wedding photos and Hubs' and my childhood photos and the wedding we just went to this weekend and....
I'm going to busy for quite a while!
A word of warning! This software brings with it trips down memory lane that will have you laughing, crying, daydreaming and, sometimes, all three at the same time!
Will I never create scapbooks the 'old' way? YES. I'm not giving that up at all! This is just another option that I am enjoying! Plus, as I mentioned earlier, if something ever happens to my printed scrapbooks, I have these on my computer!
OK, if you simply can’t wait for the giveaway to end, just go on over to the MyMemories site and enter the code: STMMMS73032 for $10 OFF!
If you can wait, it's easy to enter to win!
I'm trying Rafflecopter for the first time. I think it takes a second or two to pop up but it should make this easier for you!
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!
