When I was told that I needed eyeglasses a few years ago, I was actually excited to make them a part of my daily accessories. I imagined myself in a pair of funky black frames that complimented my wardrobe. There were so many adorable pairs that I didn’t know which to choose. Until, of course, I realized that all of the adorable & fashionable ones were totally out of my price range. I settled for a pair of simple frames and, despite my disappointment, they worked out just fine. But I still wished for a pair of affordable yet totally fashionable eyeglasses…

I was approached by Glasses USA to review a pair of prescription glasses and was overjoyed to see that their frames were not only adorable but within my price range. It was like a dream come true.
Glasses USA believes that seeing well shouldn’t be a luxury, it should be a necessity. They promise to take your vision seriously by providing customers with exceptional service and top quality lenses in the hottest eyeglass frames available. And, did I mention at affordable prices?

Glasses USA also takes pride in their Recycled Frames program. Unlike most optical stores that restock returned glasses, Glasses USA donates all returned glasses to various organizations around the US who then sanitize and redistribute them with correct prescriptions to people all over the world who can’t afford vision care. Glasses USA is not just out to make money–they actually care about society!

After I chose the Politix semi-rimless frames, I simply provided Glasses USA with my prescription and they took care of the rest. Within just a few days, my beautiful new glasses arrived at my door, carefully packaged in an eyeglass case and with lense wipe. I chose these frames because their barely-there feel and appearance turns sassy with hints of rhinestones on the sides of the frame. They are everything I’ve always wanted in prescription eye glasses.

I’ll be wearing sweatpants this week ’cause, thanks to our impromptu Super Bowl Party & being snowed in all weekend, my muffin top is back, and there’s nothing worse than when it hangs over your jeans! {Note: I’ll spare you an update on my weigh-in ’til I am back on track next week.} Getting back on track is going to be easy because I am going to embrace some muffin tops!

The wardrobe of a household CEO doesn’t require much–blue jeans, tee’s, and sneakers! But, if you are anything like me, it’s important that your personal style shows despite the simplicity of our “uniform.”

Enter PeaceLoveMom.

According to their website, PeaceLoveMom is made up of a team of Moms with one common goal – to create “a celebration of motherhood” for all types of mothers. PeaceLoveMom is a lifestyle brand company was designed to share life’s many moments of motherhood while inspiring and empowering mothers everywhere. The entire PeaceLoveMom line represents a collaboration and true celebration of motherhood.

I like to think of myself as a “Cost-co Girl”–I go there weekly & I know the store like the back of my hand. While I’m not the type that typically buys things in bulk, I do like the wide variety of products under one roof. I have some standards that I always buy, and I love perusing the aisles, testing new food items and checking out their clothing selection.

My Blog Spark introduced me to my local BJ’S Wholesale Club, and I have to say, I am feeling rather guilty. You see, My Blog Spark & General Mills offered me a free 60-day trial membership, so I decided to go for a little stroll through the store before venturing in with a shopping list. Could BJ’s really be better than my long-time love, Cost-co? Could they really satisfy my needs? As I walked through the aisles, admiring the selection, touching the clothing and books, peeking at the electronics department, I felt like I was having an affair.

Despite the fact that I didn’t have a list, I managed to spend over $100. But it was money extremely well spent. I brought home these luxury 500-count sheets, this double pack of Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser {that sold for less than what I can get it for at Cost-co}, and, of course, we could not leave without checking out the DS game selection and buying Buckaroo this new DS game {again, the price could not be beat}!

I scoped out the produce & deli sections, which were plentiful and fresh, and what I liked most about them was that not everything is sold in such large packaging. Whenever I buy grapes in Cost-co, I end up loosing a good 1/4 of them because we just don’t eat them fast enough. BJ’s offered supermarket-sized packaging at almost 30% less than supermarket-cost, which is perfect for our appetites and our budget. You can also get fresh deli meat sliced there, and I took home delicious brand-name turkey breast for just $4.99 for a pound. Shopping regularly at BJ’s will allow me to stretch my budget without sacrificing quality. Did I mention that they also accept Manufacturers coupons??!!

I will certainly be going back to make full use of my 60-day free membership.

Do you have a BJ’s Wholesale Club by you? If so, here is how you can get a free one-day shopping pass to try it out for yourself.
