39Dollar Glasses Review and Giveaway - Mother's Day

About four years ago, I bought a new pair of glasses that cost me a little over $500. I have known for awhile now that I really do need new glasses again, but I dreaded paying out all that money.

Imagine how happy and surprised I was to find 39Dollar Glasses. This great online store is the perfect answer to the traditionally high price of eye wear.

The company is owned and operated by eye doctors, and all of their glasses are made in the USA. They are able to offer a complete line of prescription glasses, including no-line bifocal, and Transition Lenses. By being an online only store, 39Dollar Glasses doesn't have to pay the overhead that traditional retail establishments do, thereby being able to pass that huge savings onto their customers. 39 Dollar Glasses also offers a 100% guarantee and free shipping. Plus they ship FREE to all active US service men and women no matter where they are serving!

I was so happy and excited to be offered the opportunity to order and review a pair of their glasses. I went to the website and was so amazed at all the kinds and styles of frames that were offered there. It was a lot of fun looking through all of the selection and picking out my frames.

The website is completely user friendly, and filled with all the information needed to comfortably place your order. There is also a 1-800 number to call if you have any questions, which I did. The customer service person was very helpful and able to answer all of my questions. My prescription is for progressive lenses, and I needed to make sure that I was placing my order correctly.

A few days later, my glasses arrived. I have to admit I was a little nervous about buying them online. But when I put them on, I was completely happy with them. They fit great, and I was thrilled with the improvement in my vision.

I just love 39Dollar Glasses and am now a loyal customer. I am happy to tell everyone I know about the great and inexpensive glasses they make. Visit the website to see the amazing selection of frames and styles to choose from. Here I am in my new pair of Sofia Brown Glasses.

39Dollar Glasses is offering one lucky reader a pair of free glasses (up to $75). There is also a coupon code to receive 10% off of all other orders (code FFT 123).

Green Apple Love

 I used to be the only one in my family that would eat green apples. My husband would not even try it! I have loved green apples since I was a kid in Southern CA. We lived on a property that had a few green apple trees and the summer we lived there was green apple paradise! We ate as many as we could everyday. I loved picking them from the tree and taking a bite. We even put some in a bucket and bobbed for apples. Its not as fun as you might think if you accidentally breath through your nose while trying to get an apple lol

That is what started my LOVE of green apples. When I was pregnant with my son I ate a green apple everyday. I read its good for preventing allergies and asthma in kids, not sure where I read it but I thought heck an apple a day right lol Plus I thought what I eat might help influence his tastes later too.

Well I am happy to report my little guy loves green apples too. He makes faces when he eats them but tells me its mmmm good. I am so happy to finally have someone to eat green apples with. My husband feels the same about shellfish. I am allergic to it so he is hoping it will be something our son likes so he will have some to share his grilled shrimp with this summer.

Kravings by Klogs Shoe Review and Giveaway - Mother's Day

Shoes are something all women love! Its the simplest way to make an outfit look put together. As a busy Mom I was stuck in the flip flop rut and I hated it. I needed a pair of shoes that I could slip on to do errands and also look great while doing it. They needed to be comfortable and not too tall. ( My son loves to still be carried and tends to be a wiggle worm so I did not want to fall over wearing too tall of shoes, yes I am klutz lol)

I looked online to fins a comfy pair of clog type of shoes and found a great company, Klogs. I was delighted to see that Klogs makes a line of shoes that are perfect for a Mom. Kravings by Klogs has super cute, stylish and comfy shoes for a busy Mom. I have been wearing the Millie in Black from the Monarch Collection and love them. They are very comfortable and sturdy. A good shoe especially a sandal needs to feel sturdy. Like you can run in them if you need to. Of course I do not recommend that but with a toddler it possible you might have to dash after them.

The Kravings Shoes have leather tops with a cushioned insole and shock absorbing outsole. The main thing I noticed about wearing the shoes after hours of running errands with my son is my feet still felt great. No soreness or fatigue. Awesome!

Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Review and Donation

 Natural deodorants has been something I have been buying on and off for about 10 years now. This last year I have told myself I need to ONLY buy natural ones. I am concerned about the harmful aluminum and parabens in many brands on the shelf. After researching about breast cancer risks and deodorants I have made the personal choice to stick to natural ones.

There are many great brands on the market for Natural Deodorants. Price ranges can vary but one I have found that is affordable and at Walmart, Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal. Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal contains 100% Natural ingredients with no aluminum or parabens. It is also great for sensitive skin since its hypoallergenic and fragrance free. My husband loves this brand and its the only one he has used for about 5 years now. I go back and forth on brands but he is a loyal customer for sure!

I also reviewed the Moiststic Natural Lip Protection. I love the refreshing feel of it. The peppermint flavor was great. It reminds me of a much more expensive competitor brand but this one is much more affordable. The natural lip product contains Tea Tree Oil, Vitamin E, Beeswax, Coconut Oil, and Peppermint Oil.

The company that sells Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal is wonderful. They were so awesome to send me a big box of Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal to donate to one of my favorite local charities Roseville Home Start. Deodorant is on the Wish List on the Charities website. Its one of those items people might forget that people need donated.  It makes me beyond happy to be able to blog for good and make donations like this.

The Staff at Home Start is always welcoming to us and appreciates our donations.

To learn more about Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal you can be a fan Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

*I was not paid or compensated for this post. The opinions in this post are 100% mine. I was provided one deodorant and lip product for my review and donated the rest by the Company / PR Company for free.

Sole Society Shoes Review and Giveaway - Mother's Day

What Mom would not LOVE new shoes for Mother's day? Yes we love flowers, candies and cards but we LOVE shoes too! A great place to shop for shoes for Mom, well yourself just paid for by the kids right, is Sole Society. This site is a fun place to shop for shoes. You sign up and it helps you pick out shoes based on your personality. They have 6 fashion personalities to select from, but don't worry you can buy any shoes you like its just a great way to suggest shoes for you. Sole Society is a shoe club that has no membership fees and there is no obligation to buy. They just like you to join to see all the awesome shoes they carry. The shoes are all $49.95. They even have a Invite Your Friends link that you can get credits towards shoes when 3 of your friends sign up and make a purchase.

For a Mother's Day gift to me I wanted shoes. I told my husband and son I would pick stuff out and then they could get it for me. Sounds great to me! After finding the Sole Society site I told myself ok I need to ask for the same thing on my birthday this summer lol. They have so many shoes that I love. I was sent the Kendall Weave Espadrille Sandal in Coral. I love that the color is bright but not over the top. The heel is perfect to wear the shoe with any outfit. You can wear cute shorts and a nice top or a dress and great jewelry. They feel so summer like to me.

I am a bit of a klutz as I have mentioned before but I can wear these shoes with ease. I love the tall heels and have a few pairs in that style but for wearing anywhere I need a shoe that is around a 2 inch heel. These shoes are surprisingly comfortable which tells me I can be comfy and stylish! I love the wrap around cross ankle strap. It creates a fashionable look that is functional. It really makes the shoe fit well. The Kendall says True Fit to Size and it delivered on that! I shop for shoes all the time and many brands the shoes are not what the size says. Online shopping for shoes at Sole Society you do not have to worry about sizing, they will be what they should be. You can shop by heel height and color. Making it easy to find a great shoe that works for you.

Love the ankle strap!

If you love shoes as much as I do this site will be a blast for you. I love that good shoes can be a starting point for an outfit. With the colorful and stylish shoes at Sole Society you can get tons of great ideas for your wardrobe.
