See Your Hunny More Clearly This Valentines Day!

by Brandy

It’s almost Valentine’s Day! Be sure you are seeing the ones you love as clearly as possible with special glasses with eyeglass frames that are perfect for the occasion!

I am currently checking out the Valentine’s Day glasses over on the Zenni Optical website. They really have an awesome selection! I thought it was cool at Christmas when they had all sorts of frames that were Christmas and Winter themed. Now they have a great selection up for Valentine’s Day.

With their prices you can afford to have glasses for every holiday, event and occasion! Check out some of my favorites below…

I know Morgan would look great in this funky pink pair! Less than $10 too!

I really like this black pair. The design reminds me of lace! This pair is only $26!

Like I said last time when I was sharing my favorite Christmas frames…with these prices you can wear a different pair every month if you wanted! Eventually Morgan is going to have quit a selection of glasses to choose from. Being able to have glasses to match all of her outfits or themed glasses for special occasions!

How many pairs of glasses do you own? Have you shopped at Zenni Optical before? Do you coordinate your eyeglasses with your clothing?

Show Off Your Holiday Spirit!

by Brandy

This post brought to you by Zenni Optical. All opinions are 100% mine.

How do you show off your Holiday spirit when it comes to your wardrobe and accessories? I have a great idea for you if wear eyeglasses!

I think that shows some dedicated holiday spirit! Santa on your glasses! Did you happen to notice the price? Yes, this is that place you can get cheap eyeglasses that I love called Zenni Optical!

If you don’t want to go that far, there are other options that are still a great match for the holiday season! Check out this pair, they make me think of snow and ice! Morgan would look fantastic in these and they could be worn way beyond winter and still look awesome.

This pair is only $9.95! I’m telling you at these prices I could totally buy a different pair of glasses to match each of Morgan’s looks! She changes daily!

I also found another pair that I think would look good on me. I’m not big on gold, but I really like the shape of the glasses and the color of the green. What do you think?

Shopping at Zenni Optical leaves more cash in your pockets for your other needs! Think about it…that means more coffee, more books and maybe a chocolate martini or two…

I would love to know which ones you would get from the holiday selection at zennioptical.com!

Holiday Themed Zenni Optical Frames are Coming to Town!

by Brandy

One thing that I love about eyeglasses is how you can coordinate them with your clothing, events and even holidays! This is especially easy to do when you order from Zenni Optical. They have such fantastic prices that you can order glasses to match every outfit and occasion!

It’s time for Morgan and I to get new glasses and we will be ordering from Zenni Optical. I want to get her a few pairs to go with her fun personality.

I love this pair! Reminds me of Christmas lights! I think Morgan would like them because of the bright funky colors!

Check out this fun Holiday themed frame! It has Christmas Trees and Snowmen!

With the money I save on buying glasses from Zenni Optical I can afford to put a few more presents under the tree this year! Some certain little girls are going to be very happy this coming Christmas morning. Maybe I’ll even throw in a few things for me! Maybe a nice new camera bag for mama? A sweater? Maybe both? Trust me, if you haven’t ordered your glasses from Zenni Optical, you are really missing out and most likely paying too much money.

Go check them out! I would love for you to share with me which frames you would love to have.

Christmas Gift Idea for The Oldest?

by Brandy

Morgan is 13 and is so into fashion. Her appearance seems to be so important to her. She has started hating the fact that she wears glasses. She want’s contacts, but that isn’t going to happen. Her eye issue is more than just vision and she would require special contacts…with a special high dollar price that most people can not afford. We are at the top of that most people list.

So I have been thinking of ways to ease her pain, although I think she looks great in glasses. I was thinking maybe it might be a cool idea to get her a few different pairs of glasses so that she could have a different look depending on what she was wearing. Wouldn’t that be cool? Now way back when, that would not have been an affordable option! These days we have Zenni Optical!

By shopping at Zenni Optical for her eyeglasses I can totally afford to get her a few different pairs for Christmas! She is due for her eye exam this month too! So, I’ll have her updated RX. The only other thing I would need is the measurements and that’s it! Find some frames that are cool and enter the info. What do you think? Do you think that is a good idea? Maybe it will liven her up a bit.

Eye Exams!

by Brandy

glasses I’m thinking is time to take Lauren in for her first eye exam to see if she needs eyeglasses like her sister. I took Morgan in at a much younger age because of something that happened so suddenly with her. Her eyes were fine then one day one started to wander. Normally it would happen when she was sleepy. So at the age of 3 I took her for her first exam.

Morgan is now 12 and still wearing prescription glasses. Her vision is near perfect now, but her eye is still a little weak. They say this is something she could outgrow and that she is not a candidate for the corrective surgery. Apparently there is a difference between what Morgan’s eye does and an actual “Lazy Eye“. Her doctor said her’s is not that bad.

As she has gotten older her eye only tends to wander after she has left her glasses off for an extended amount of time. She normally only does that while swimming. Other than that she wears her glasses all of the time and has never given us any issues about it. Lately though, she has expressed an interest in contacts. We will have to discuss this with her eye doctor.

Lauren has not shown any of these symptoms of a weak eye, nor has she had any vision problems. I just think that this is probably the right age to take her into get checked. She will be 6 this month. I doubt she will need prescription eyeglasses, but you never can tell.

When did you take your child for their first eye exam if they seemed to have no vision or eye problems?

For most kids wearing eyeglasses for the first time can be a traumatic and unpleasant experience. Further adding to the anxiety is the limited selection of frames available for youths in the marketplace. They’re basic, standard, uninteresting, lack color and personality leaving little to the imagination. As any stylish mom knows, plain and ordinary is not an option, and for kids & tweens… the “cool” factor is a must in any accessory.

Introducing FICKLETS! No more boring, cookie cutter frames. FICKLETS offers a more customize, versatile and unique look… fusing function and fashion. More importantly, Ficklets can help make the transition for the novice eyeglass wearer a more positive and enjoyable experience.

With FICKLETS, eyewear is FUN, FASHIONABLE, FRESH!
