I don't normally post "selfies" on the internet, but I needed to show off my new glasses!
Two years ago, I started to notice that my eyes felt a little strained. I've always had great vision, but at night I began to have a hard time reading street signs and when the light was dim in our living room, I had trouble reading text on the TV. I visited the eye doctor and he wrote me a prescription that I never got filled. Woops. (I know that my eyes have probably changed in the past two years, but I still don't have vision coverage, so this will do for now!)
Fast forward two years and I started getting headaches at work almost every day that felt related to my eye strain. I was so excited to get an email from Firmoo.com asking me if I'd like to review a pair of glasses! I dug out my old prescription and set about ordering the glasses.
Now, I know NOTHING about glasses and vision prescriptions and all that. That's the reason I never got the prescription filled--because I wasn't sure what to do! (Also, I'm a procrastinator. And then we changed insurances and I lost vision coverage!) The good thing is that Firmoo makes it really easy to order. I provided them with the numbers from my prescription, measured some extra measurements, and I was all set!
Firmoo offers bloggers glasses for review, but they also offer anyone their first pair free! As a blogger, I think I got to choose from a wider variety, but they still have so many fun options that I don't think you'll have a problem finding something that works for you... FREE!
So, I logged on to Firmoo.com and uploaded a photo of myself so I could virtually try on different pairs. I was a little nervous because I've never worn glasses and I felt a little silly seeing my face in glasses! I loved that I could virtually try on glasses, though - it would have been so hard to pick something out that works with my face, otherwise!
I knew I wanted something slightly rectangular since I have a round face. I decided on this pair and I was so glad they were offered in chocolate brown because I was nervous that black would look really foreign on my pale face. I thought the contrast might be too strong and thought that I would feel more comfortable in brown. It was a good choice, I think!

All in all, it was really fun to pick out free glasses and live my new hipster life. I'm finishing this blog post in a trendy coffee shop, drinking a glass of wine, and wearing my new specs. It feels pretty foreign to me, but it's fun to branch out, don't you think??
P.S. Remember that
owl auction I posted last week? It went for $252.
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY TWO DOLLARS. Wow.
