I Like My Eggs Firm… Mooooo

When Charles and I ever go out to eat … We make sure to order two completely different meals so we can eat off each other’s plates. It’s our way of making sure we get a well rounded meal. As a couple, food plays a huge role in our relationship.

When we first started dating, I used to hate sharing my food with him because he always took big manly bites of my food… Which was plain unfair to me because when I would taste his food, my bites weren’t as big.  6 years later, I’m over it… Love will make you more open to sharing … With the exception of chocolate …  I’m still pretty stingy when it comes to sharing any of my chocolate desserts …  I try to eat them as fast as I can before he asks for a taste.

Firmoo contacted me to do a product review a while ago in exchange for a free pair of glasses.

Yea … Not really an offer I could turn down … I finally got around to wearing the frames I chose from their line of affordable glasses this past weekend when Charles and I went to get food from my diner.

And because I have the “best timing”, I figured Charles might as well take pics of me and my new prescription glasses while I was feeling hungover and had not one bit of makeup on  = Seriously wishing I knew how to airbrush my dark eye circles and the pimple off my chin in these pics lol. The frames are a bit different from what I’m used to but the whole point was to try something new. I like to think they bring out the brown in my eyes …

I’ve had glasses since the 3rd grade and when I finally got contacts in the 10th grade … I was uber estactic to get rid of my four eyes, ditch the nerd look and bring out the “pretty” girl. Since then, I’ve been a contacts whore … rarely ever wearing my glasses out in public. A
recent visit to my eye doctor informed me that I’m starting to develop
an astigmatism in my left eye as a result of wearing my contacts so much (still don’t get how that’s possible)  … Basically meaning get back to wearing my glasses more or else become cross
eyed by the time I’m fifty. {okay, maybe that’s a bit extreme}

As A Kid … I remember hearing my mom and dad talk about how much my glasses cost them to pay for out of pocket. I
remember feeling sooooo guilty and not wanting to tell them when I
broke my glasses by accident because I knew it meant they would have to
spend money they really couldn’t afford to dish out. I
went to school for a year in the 6th grade with my broken glasses taped
together, was made fun of by kids in my class but didn’t care because I’d rather look funny than ask my parents for a new
pair of glasses. {I did eventually get a new pair of glasses … that I broke again later … It was/is a never ending cycle …}

Nowadays … Glasses have become super fashionable … a way to add to a person’s character. Nowadays, I know I’m pretty from the inside out and not the other way around. Nowadays, I’m blind as a bat and pay for my own glasses… The perks of being an adult.  Nowadays, I hear my fellow four eyed friends complain about dropping $100-$200 on a pair of prescription glasses.

Firmoo is the perfect alternative to those who cannot afford & Don’t care about name brand frames. They
have a great selection of trendy frames that give you the option to
choose prescription/ non-prescription and/or sunglasses/tinted lenses. What’s great is that most of the frames on their site cost less than $20 including the charge of lenses, prescription or not.  The highest price for a pair of frames I saw on their website while browsing was $50 … The cheapest $8.

The hardest part about ordering from their site for me was inputting my “Pupillary Distance” in the prescription section of my order … a.k.a. The distance between my pupils.  There I was in my bathroom in front of the mirror with a fabric ruler in front of my face … Not sure if I put the correct distance in my prescription but so far so good …  I can see quite well with my glasses ;)

Other than that … My glasses came within two weeks of my order in a snazzy case that came with a screwdriver kit to maintain my glasses. And despite being cheaply priced, their frames DON’T look or feel cheaply made. My frames felt sturdy on my face and were very comfortable to wear.

And that’s that … This is my honest review of Firmoo and their glasses/site/etc.
