Summer Time with Firmoo-Free for New Customers

People, it's summertime! You can see lots of people wearing sunglasses on the street. They need sunglasses to see without their eyes watering up, or the brightness causing headaches, or the sun's glare blinding them. Picking up a pair of prescription sunglasses at Firmoo.com is a best way to get a sweet summer look. Although supposed new versions of frames and lenses come out in sunglasses every year, the tinted prescription sunglasses is the latest trend among people pursuing fashion. Moreover, you can find new arrivals in July and excitingly get your First pair for free here as well.

I personally don't need prescription sunglasses, but I sure do love sunglasses! You can often find me outside with my sunnies! I am not getting any younger, so I need to protect my eyes and reduce the risk of wrinkles! haha.

I like oversized frames to help block the sun rays, plus I feel quite fashionable & sophisticated! Luckily, Firmoo.com has lots of different styles of frames for the look you like!

 

These eyewear carry up-to-date styles inspired by top fashion designers that don't come with the high price tag! Hello! score! I love finding good quality glasses for cheap. I mean, the sunglasses I typically sport were only $4-6! At Firmoo.com you will see that they also carry fashion colors for summer, pinks, greens, yellows and oranges, to name a few. All year round, your sunglasses are an accessory item that everyone notices.

Time for me to rave about some things that make me smile or chuckle...

Gotta give a little love to:

Ashley + Nathan of The Gnarly Whale!

I received the package I ordered containing hair detangler and lip balms.
The items came in a cute reusable bag &
even a handwritten note made of recycled paper was included thanking me for my order.
I'm gifting one of the detanglers to a friend.
I ordered the scent coconut milk & peaches. OOh la la! It smells so divine, so yummy that I want to eat it! I've tried it and my brush brushed easily and smoothly through my hair! OH & love that their products are vegan. It's fresh baby!

Gotta give a little love to the new tea I'm drinking:

Organic Peppermint Tea.
My friend Allie recommended it to me.
My mom tried too and loves it as well.
It's especially helpful to those who might suffer from stomach problems. uhh hmm, ME! (aches & pains, gas)
Oh and I add a packet of Stevia to it.

Gotta give a little love shout-out to this app courtesy of amc:

If you're a fan of zombies, The Walking Dead, anyone? Then did you know you can Walker-ify yourself? I did. Or as they call it. "dead yourself." I've watched some episodes of the show, but due to other must-see shows that came on at the same time, I've not kept up this fan fave, so I can't say that I am a die-hard fan!

so sexayyy! lol

On this app you can select what kind of gory, bulging, bloody eyes you want or even some beautiful, yellow teeth with a double chin of ripped skin hanging out?? Check it out if you'd like to join this fun club!

and last but not least,
a love shout-out to my good friend Pammie!
It's her birthday today!! Happy Happy Birthday Pam Pam! Your laugh is infectious (I cry from cracking up with you), your sassy-ness makes me smile, you rock leopard print and I am so glad we're friends! Love you!

two beauty products review

Happy Weekend friends!!

I am about to head out this afternoon with one of my besties for a little girlfriend time!

Below is a video review of two beauty products that I've recently tried: an eyeshadow palette by hard candy and neutrogena moisturizer with spf 15.

I am all about preventing skin cancer, so I love finding & using products with a built-in sunscreen. I want a higher spf though specifically for my sensitive face!

Watch if you'd like and since it's Memorial Day weekend, use code SUMMER for 15% off all ad spots! whooohoo! good til Tuesday May 28th! 

the newest member of the e-reader club

Hi.

My name is Brittany and I am the newest member of the e-reader club.

If you didn't know, I am pretty old-fashioned.

My mama has been trying to convince me to get an e-reader for years. She's even offered to generously gift me a Kindle or Nook  for the past 3 Christmases and or for my birthday! Each time I pleasantly declined.

I didn't want to give into the trend. I didn't want to "have to" get used to a new technological thing.

I felt in some way that if I got an e-reader, I was saying goodbye to actual books. 
I felt that I was helping make printed materials extinct and that really scares me as SO much reading material is on the web now; from newspapers to magazines and of course, books.

About two weeks ago, I justified my purchase of a Nook Simple Touch thanks to birthday money.

My physical being is progressively declining. that's the nature of my muscle disease, SMA-Spinal Muscle Atrophy.

I have a noticed my arms becoming weaker, especially in the last year and the last 5 months I haven't been able to wash the right side of my face, thus needing someone to do it for me.

Because of my arms weakening, I decided to get the Nook, BUT i will still purchase and read physical, thinner paperbacks, like Safe Haven!

Here is the beauty!

Most covers for the Nook are around $30, psshh yeh right, this girl needed  something cheaper.

I then saw online one day shortly after purchasing my Nook that Sew Beastly was offering a coupon code and I totally had to snatch one up! They are just so darling and whimsical. I was a bit concerned with the measurements and if the Nook would fit, but after comparing both, I knew it would. I thought that the wristlet would be able to happily hold & protect my Nook!

When I got Citlalli's pretty package, I put my Nook in there, along with a micro-fibre cloth to clean the screen and they both fit, but just barely. I mean, I CAN zip it up, so that's all that matters.

I could  just tell how much love & care that Citlalli puts into her packaging and product! I love it! I also recently learned from her website that her products contain, "batting/interfacing made from recycled plastic bottles." 
Nice to the environment too? ah :)

I ended up getting this pretty purple & yellow ruffled wristlet. I was contemplating this one too.

I'll mainly use the Nook (for now) for books that are on my running list that  are heavier or only in hardcover. I am really hoping I can keep this system going for years. Transitioning to ALL of my books on the Nook, IF i can no longer hold a book up while laying down will sadden me terribly! BUT i won't dwell on what hasn't even happened.

You see,  97% of the time I read books and magazines at night. Reading at night is so enjoyable to me. There are less distractions and i feel cozy laying in  bed with my 12 pillows surrounding me as I quietly read, either letting my mind be taught and expanded or mindlessly being entertained.

As of now, I have 2 books downloaded: 
The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin( currently reading) and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

If anyone wants to get me a Barnes & Noble giftcard for Christmas, I'd love it! haha 

Ok, seriously though, if any of you have a Nook, let me know, because i hear that we can borrow books from each other somehow? Not sure how that works, but I'd definitely be interested!

wiw:sophisticated with firmoo glasses

I've been blessed to have good eyesight so far in my life. I do however, have some hearing loss :( i think it's hereditary because my aunt june is partially deaf in one year and i've been having hearing probs in my right ear since i was in high school..no apparent reason?

anyways, it's all the rage now to be sporting fashion glasses, even if they are not prescription glasses. I've finally gotten on trend and have a pair courtesy of Firmoo.com!

Also, right around the time I first was contacted by firmoo, my good friend Paco had just ordered his first pair of red framed-nerdy glasses for free! He was so excited to receive them!

What is Firmoo you may ask? 
Firmoo is an online eyewear store that is becoming quite popular these days. Their website also features a virtual-try-on station so you can visually see how certain glasses will look on your face shape.

There are many different styles and color to choose such as: harry potter-esque , or these classic brown & ivory beauties or maybe these tortoise aviator style glasses are your thing?

Most of the glasses I've seen on their site are pretty affordable ranging from $8 to $56 where most fall in the middle range..not too shabby at all!

Did you know that Firmoo has a FIRST PAIR FREE program? According to their site, new customers can snag their first pair of glasses for Free, just needing to pay shipping! So you can wander over to their site and pick out some fashionable, durable glasses for free! Their prescription glasses are filled with 1.50 index single vision lenses FYI. And if you're not satisfied, you'll be refunded.

Now, let's get chatting about the ones I was sent!!

the pair i chose were unisex and without prescription (as i mentioned above, i've been blessed with good eyesight). 
I really wanted sunglasses but they were out, so these were my 2nd option.

They have a gray frame and black arms. The frame itself is very sleek and has a modern look to it. They are pretty light weight. I definitely wanted to try these out because of how fancy and sophisticated they seemed, plus,the whole wearing kinda nerdy-but-not glasses as a fashion accessory is all in right now. I thought I'd happily give em a try.

glasses: firmoo / shirt: American eagle outfitters/ earrings: along for the ride

Now, I have a really wide head, so i was really hoping that these glasses wouldn't be too tight. I was wrong. 

When i opened the package, i was so dang excited, but tried them on and were a bit tight. The glasses themselves are very strong as they were able to stretch a bit without breaking while I had them on. I felt like I could only wear them for less than an hour before indenting the sides of my face lol. It's not their fault, it's just that I have a really wide face!

Although, when I did have them on, I looked like a more mature, grown-up person, which made me smile because I look like I am 18 and I am really 30 now! hahaha.  I said to myself, 'wow! you look good in glasses!" haha.

Plus, I was so impressed with the quality and standards of this company. The glasses came with their own sturdy sunglass case with a soft, light blue cleaning cloth to clean the lenses!

If you decide to order a pair of prescription glasses or sunglasses or even just fashion glasses and have any questions about shipping or ordering contact firmoo and they'll be happy to assist you!
