Sunglasses For Father’s Day

For Father’s day I wanted to get my Dad a nice pair of men’s sunglasses. He has a habit of losing his sunglasses and is always needing a new pair, so I knew that he would appreciate a nice pair as a gift. At the mall there is a kiosk that sells only sunglasses, so I took a trip downtown to take a look and see what they had for sale in the line of mens sunglasses. OMG I couldn’t believe the prices they were asking. I mean I know that anything that you buy at the mall is going to be a bit more expensive, due to the overhead that is required by mall management, but there just has to be a limit some how where they aren’t taking so much of people’s hard earned money.

Anyway, that turned out to be a dead end, but I did get a good idea of some of the styles that are popular these days. So I took that information and went online and found a great website that had some great mens sunglasses at some pretty decent prices at menssunglasses.com and found some nice looking Aviator sunglasses for only $14.99. And since they offer free shipping for orders of $25 or more I ordered two pairs. They don’t even charge a sales tax, which is a bonus. At that price I could afford two pairs for my Dad to enjoy and since he loses them so quickly I’m sure two pairs won’t last long.

My order came in quickly, so I got them in time for Father’s Day and everyone ended up happy.

Ain’t Nothing But A Thing

I have been wearing eye glasses most of my life. For so many years, as I left my eye doctor’s office, after my annual check up, I would just wonder next door to the eye glass store and get my glasses. Not even thinking that I had a choice in the matter of where I wanted to get my prescription filled for my new glasses each time. I don’t know why, I can’t say that it was laziness, just not thinking much about the whole process. Right next door to an eye doctor’s office is a most convenient place to sell glasses that is for sure, but I’m glad that I broke free from the mold and went online and found great deals that I’m going to start taking advantage of.

I have my check up scheduled for in the later part of May and I’m sure that my prescription will have changed, so I’m looking forward to getting some nice new glasses. I haven’t had new glasses for a few years now, so I’m sure that I’m due. My sister keeps after me about trying contact lenses, but I just don’t like the idea of putting some thing in my eyes. Besides I don’t mind wearing glasses, it ain’t nothing but a thing!

Sweet

I try to find a good quality gift to give to my mother each Mother’s Day. And this holiday is fast approaching so I need to get off of it and start looking around for ideas. Having access to the Internet makes this task a much easier one, thank God! I look for companies that accept PayPal since I use my PayPal account a lot. I also look for free shipping, it’s all about the $$$ these days ya know?

I found some nice Seiko Kinetic Watches at Bluedial.com that are affordable and I think that my mother would enjoy. She is a tiny little thing so she can’t wear anything big and bulky, which can be a challenge at times, but I think that I have gotten used to that idea for a while now. This is a pretty sweet wrist watch that is on sale for only $110 and has free shipping as well. I’ve bookmarked it and will see how it all pans out.

Saving Money with Online Shopping

It seems that this last Christmas holiday shopping season there was a record amount of people doing their shopping online. I can’t say that I am surprised by this finding, money is tight all over and people were looking for the best deals available and the Internet brings so many of them to us, right to our finger tips, now how cool is that?

I was the typical teenage girl, in the fact that I used to love going to the mall and hanging with my friends. Always on the look out for the boys and the sales on Shoes  the newest Trends in Womens Fashions and all the fabulous Accessories that the mall is known for having. But these days I’d much prefer staying at home and using my laptop for the majority of my purchases. I think that I only went to the mall two times last Christmas, everything else was done online.

I look for incentives like free shipping, online coupon codes, return shipping – both ways, and I also like to find items that are made in the U.S.A., that is always a plus with me. There are many sites dedicated to comparing items and services that can make my search an easier one. Many different search engines are out there to assist in finding just about anything that can be found on the Internet.

My Love Affair With Shoes and Clothing

I have a love affair with shoes and clothes. It used to drive my father right out of his mind when my mom and I would go out shopping (with his credit card of course) and come back with bags of new clothes. He would always rant and rave and insist that we put a stop to the madness, but he never took the credit card away from her. We would try and clean out our closets each spring and take a trip to the Good Will to donate what we didn’t want or need anymore. But I can honestly say that more came in the house than what would come in with us.

These days I do most of my shopping online. That is where the deals are, for the most part anyway. Since I’m a plus size woman I can find more of my sizes online rather than bouncing from one store to another looking for fashions in my size. One of my favorite online merchants offers free  Women’s Clothing Catalogues just by registering for one at their site of Simplybe.co.uk, so I always look forward to receiving their catalogue to browse through and share with some of my plus size friends.

I love their fashions and their accessories. They have just about everything that I need when I need it and would urge anyone interested in women’s plus size clothing to give them a look see for them self. I’m sure you’ll find something to get excited about there.

Trick or Treat!

I have always enjoyed celebrating Halloween to the fullest each year. It just dawned on me that this year I will be as big as a boat (due to the pregnancy) come the end of October, so I’ve started looking at some plus size sexy costumes that are available online. Just because I’m pregnant shouldn’t mean that I can’t still participate in the Halloween festivities that are so much fun.

I just might be able to get away with this Bettie Page Plus Size Nurse Bettie Costume that I cut and pasted below. A sweet deal for just under $40. I’m always looking for Free Shipping deals and I also look forward to using my PayPal account with my online purchases, that is a great perk to find that I try and take advantage of.

Besides going to parties during the fall, I like to dress up for the trick and treaters that always arrive at the door looking for candies and goodies to be handed out. I wonder how they will re act this year when I open up the door with a nice one of the nice sexy costumes of my choosings.  Halloween is right around the corner, the summer days are getting shorter each day, sigh…….

Another School Year Comes To An End

Man where did this year go already? I can’t believe it’s almost time for school to be out. My kid goes to a middle school that requires them to wear uniforms. Not like the Catholic School type uniform. They wear a polo type shirt tucked in (dark or medium green for 6th grade, dark or medium blue for 7th grade and red or burgundy for 8th grade) with khaki or black pants or finger tip length shorts. Girls can wear capri’s or skirts too.

I grew up in the generation that fought like a dog just to get to wear pants to school and then it was only under our dresses IF you walked to school but then you had to take them off when you got there. It took us a long time to get to wear our blue jeans to school. Part of me still wants to fight the ‘uniform’ thing but the one thing I like about it is all the kids are equal at school. No one has any better than the other does so there’s less looking down your nose at the kid that can’t afford the nicer clothes. That I think is great.
