$6.95 Prescription Eyeglasses - No Way?! Yes Way!

When I was a kid, I remember hearing the children who wore glasses being called "four eyes."

My how things have changed! (Thank goodness for that, right?)

Today glasses are considered a very chic accessory. Available in a multitude of colors, designs, and frame shapes, eyeglasses can add the perfect touch to an outfit to give you a very contemporary look.

And Zenni Optical is one of the best places to shop for your prescription eyeglasses. With prices beginning at only $6.95, there's no reason not to shop with them. Plus there shipping is only $4!

That's right, only $4!

By eliminating the expenses of a walk-in brick and mortar store, cutting out the middleman by selling direct from the factory, and low advertising costs thanks to their many customer recommendations, Zenni Optical can pass the savings on direct to their customers while still selling a high quality line of stylish glasses.

The next time you're shopping for eyewear, check out Zenni Optical before you drop hundreds with the "convenient" counter out front.  A little extra time could mean a lot of extra cash in your pocket.

Come On, Get Smell Happy

I'm one of those people who is very sensitive to smells, and just a slight whiff can send me reeling back in time - whether happy or sad.

But I much prefer the happy, so when I find a new scent that tickles my fancy I love to fill my home with it. From candles to scent sticks to padded hangers, I'm surrounded with fragrances that really uplift my mood.

So when you're feeling down in the dumps, think back to a happy time and the scents you associate with it. Then grab a few products with that scent and watch your blues magically disappear!

Why Mix and Match Childrens Clothing Is Your Best Bargain

According to The Rupp Report, cotton prices have increased by more than 150% since July 2010. And they say these prices are going nowhere but up, up, and up.

*Sigh*

Clothing our children is only going to get more expensive. Those little tikes outgrow their clothes faster than you can snap your fingers, so it's more important than ever to make the most of shopping for children's clothing.

My first rule is to always shop children's consignment sales, and I firmly stand by that belief.

But every now and then I also enjoy treating my children to new clothing, such as when shopping for back to school clothes.

When it come to boys clothing, everything is mix 'n match so it seems.

But girls clothing are a whole different ballgame. That's specifically where I go looking for brands that allow for mixing and matching easily. And with adorable, cutesy names for each matching line, it makes it super-duper easy.

You can even turn it into a game of collecting all the pieces - right down to the purses, shoes, and hair accessories!

Also, if you look closely enough, you'll find that many of the pieces can match a second line of your choice to expand the wardrobe even more!

Once my daughter came along, it didn't take me long to learn that mix and match was the ONLY way to shop. No more wasted money on shirts or shorts with tags from not ever having something to match. Ugh, I shudder at the memories.

And did I mention the space saving of mix 'n match? Yeah, well, another post for another day, right?
