No more contacts

I’ve had it! I’m so over contacts. They’re just not comfortable, and my doctors can’t seem to get the right prescription for my left eye. They dry out, and then become blurry after 5hrs of wear. Ugh.

I only wore contacts on special occasions or when I wanted to wear sunglasses. I’ve wised up now by purchasing some prescription sunglasses. I don’t’ know why I didn’t think of this sooner!

After much research, it seems Maui Jim’s are the best quality sunglasses. They have a few cute pairs, and are pretty reasonable too (esp with insurance). Now I don’t have worry about getting sand in my contacts at the beach.

I guess my next step would be Lasik, but that whole process freaks me out. For someone who wears glasses, I’m really ‘squeamish’ about eyeball stuff.

Viva Las Vegas

I know, I know. I’ve been slacking. As always, there’s so much going on. Lots of which I can’t discuss online. One thing I can talk about is my impending trip to VEGAS! Late this spring, a few friends and I are headed to the strip - but everything will obviously be G/PG rated. No gambling, no naughty stuff . Most of my friends and I are either turning 30, or are getting married this year – so we figured we would celebrate one last time before we’re officially out of the 20s. Plus, I’ve always wanted to see Cirque du Soleil’s “O”.

In preparation for this trip, I’m going to do what I do best – shopping! I have to admit, I’ve gone quite nuts at Zappos.com and Nordstrom.com lately. Below are a few items I purchased. Are they Vegas party worthy? The pair of Cole Haan’s that I purchased have ‘Nike Air’ technology.

I’m also eyeing up this lovely dress by Nanette Lepore. Once its discounted from $398.00 to a more reasonable (recession worthy) price, I’ll jump on it.
