want some new glasses?

If you know anything about me, you know three basic things: I love God and family, I have a slight obsession with Junior Mints and double-stuff Oreos, and I have TERRIBLE vision. Like, seriously. Last year when I went for my visit to the optometrist, she told me that without my contacts or glasses, I am considered legally blind. Yup.

So, when the fine folks at the online eyewear company, Firmoo.com, contacted me and asked if I would do a product review for them, and in return they would send me a pair of glasses of my choice, I said YES PLEASE. Because I cannot make it from the bedroom to the bathroom in the middle of the night without slamming into the walls (Truth. Once I ran straight into the linen closet door in the hallway. And then instinctively looked around to see if anyone saw. As if anyone would ALSO be in the hallway at 3am. And if they were, I wouldn't be able to see them anyway....)

I was a little skeptical about choosing glasses online at first, since you cannot try them on, but they have a "virtual try on system" to see if you like the look. They have TONS of frames to choose from, but the best part is that they are affordable.You guys know how we focus on frugality around these parts. They have frames for as low as $8. No joke. And when I bought two pair of glasses from another company in-store last year, I paid $160. I was charged double because my prescription was so terrible.



The customer service was exceptional, the glasses were shipped promptly, and they came with a hard case, a cleaning cloth, and an eyeglass repair kit. I was super impressed with the glasses, and Firmoo is currently offering a steal for new customers only: your first pair is FREE (shipping excluded), which you can read about by clicking {here}. Hop on over and grab you a new pair of glasses!!

(Special thanks to firmoo.com, without which I would not be safe to drive on the roadway..)
