My eyes need your help!

A question I always get asked is, "Do you wear contacts?!" People ask me this because my eyes are so blue and they just assume I buy my eye color. Nope, born with it!

Trust me, if I wasn't blind I absolutely would not want wear contacts. For years I've had contacts. I used to have the monthly ones, but shortly after wearing then my eyes would get all swollen and red. People either thought I was stoned or I had pink eye. It was awful. 

I found out I was allergic to contacts and the eye doctor I was going to at the time was the only one to be able to figure that out. The only solution at the time was to get these prescription eye drops that cost around $40-$50 AFTER insurance. The bottle was smaller than the size of travel size eye drops. They helped, but a few months later I wanted another solution.

My eye doctor had moved to another office and the new guy told me I probably couldn't wear contacts. I wasn't a fan of that. So we went through a bunch of trials of different contacts. Finally, the only ones that worked were the Bausch & Lomb Daily contacts. They're about $35 for a 45 day supply, but they're great. 

Lately I've been going out, forgetting to grab my glasses and waking up and not being able to open my eyes. Trust me, being allergic to something you put in your eyes is not enjoyable. I love my glasses, but sometimes I like to change things up and I'd really like to get another cute pair. So I've been online shopping, no surprise there.

I've seen a few cute pairs...

I really like the square frame glasses. I received a pair from Firmoo a few months back, but I didn't have prescription lens put in. I've seen quite a few from BonLook that I'm interested in and I really like that they offer free shipping and 100% refunds. The Versace ones from FramesDrirect are super cute, but maybe too much since I'm just looking for a back-up pair.

I'm so indecisive, so please feel free to help me out with deciding!
Also if any of you wear glasses, where do you normally order them from?

    I abuse my eyes with contacts too and keep looking for new frames that I am more likely to wear. Unfortunately, I am also indecisive, so I can't help. My sister ordered hers from Warby Parker, they actually send you several pairs to try on at home and then you send back the ones you don't want. She raves about the company!

    I know that this is ridiculous, but I love the Versace pair. Even if they are just part time glasses, get em!

    Oh my goodness your eyes are gorgeous! I'm a contact wearer and glasses wearer too. Picking out new frames is really hard for me too. Glad you found a pair of contacts that would work for your eyes. It would be kind of a bummer to be stuck with glasses all the time.

    Your eyes are beautiful! I often get asked the same question but if my hair colour is mine or do I colour it? To which I reply "its all natural!"

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Friday’s Letters!!!!

Dear Bret Michaels, Once I had a film class. It was so badass and made me wish I was an actress. I actually love being in front of the camera acting.. ANYWAYS.. This was the closest I’ve been to you.. when I was on a fake Rock Of Love.. with a fake Bret Michaels.. But, I’ll be seeing you live this Saturday!!! Dear Poison and Def Leppard, See you on Saturday!!!.. I’m pretty damn nervous to party with a bunch of people older than my mom. But, thank you for giving me an excuse to have extra big hair and dress like I belong in the 80’s.. I’ll look better than all these old chicks that still live in the 80’s.. Just sayin’.. Dear Friday’s Letters, You always make me so happy to write! I love that this link up always gets me so much positive feedback! It always makes my Friday so much better!..
