Getting your eyes checked

I have always wanted eyeglasses as a kid, but i never went as far as to lie when reading off the charts. Apparently I have a bit of astigmatism which hasn’t been that bad as my eye sight is still better than 20/20. My right eye is keeping everything in check. Though, since I work at a computer each and every day — I’ll have to get them checked out once again. I can’t recall the last time I went to an eye doctor, and I’d bet it was more than 4 years ago.

I was reading this Zenni Optical article and it’s pretty crazy how expensive a great set of frames will run you. However, it is possible to get quality eyeglasses for a low cost. I mean, that’s what this site is all about, right? Saving people money!

With Zenni there’s no middle man which means that there isn’t any retail overhead. They haven’t been advertising much since they don’t really have a budget for it — I mean they leave it to us, the customers to spread the word. So if you’re on the lookout for a new set of frames, perhaps you will think about Zenni’s glasses when you’re shopping around. Can’t hurt.

That’s all for now folks!

This is him  just in from being outside for 25 minutes, crying and whining for me to pick him up. Outside, he’s a completely different dog. As soon as I laid him on the floor he was “the terror” once again. You can see the devil in his eyes in this pic. Don’t you agree?

99The last one is definitely my favorite, and is now my desktop background!

We have to go now! We’re going to the vet for his last set of Puppy shots! Yay! Happy weekend all :)

Hair cuts

I suppose I’m not all that confident in my current hair stylist. Primarily, because each time I go there he is persistent on me buying more Aveda products. I am the Aveda queen, and I could totally be the spokesperson for Aveda since I own so much by their company. But I just despise that he feels the need to sell it on me.

That, and he straightens the heck out of my already flat hair. It doesn’t make me feel glamorous or special, when I step in there.

You’re probably asking why I keep going back to him. It’s because he cuts my hair fabulously. So much so that I only go back for a hair cut every 5 months or longer! I also hate tipping someone who tries to sell me on something so much. So he gets little money from me. I also decline the head massage and shampoo (as that costs extra). So sixty bucks will be coming out of my pocket, for just a trim on March 26. I don’t recall when the last time I had a trim. Maybe November? Isn’t that gross? At least my hair is getting super long now.
