The Before

Apparently whether I drove or not seems to be the topic of conversation for those at LensCrafters.  I was asked once again once the LensGrafters employee realized I didn’t have on glasses on contacts. LOL. Shows you just how blind I really am.

How you like me now

So did you guess correctly? My frames of choice? Anywho my LensCrafters experience was a great one and my frames and lenses look and feel great. It’s amazing what you don’t realize you’re not seeing. It’s like a whole new world. And with their AccufitSM Digital Measurement system, LensCrafters offers a clearly different optical experience by helping you find your perfect pair of eyeglasses that allows you to see 5x clearer.

Getting my Dr. Evil on after having my eyes dilated

Saturday I went off to LenscCafters to get some new glasses since my last pair were cracked and truth be told I was long overdue for another eye exam. Well, you know I said I wasn’t really blind as a bat, just a bit farsighted? Well, seems like the joke was on me:

Doctor: Did you drive over here?

Me: No. I don’t know how to drive

Doctor: I see why.

Doctor: 1 Me: 0

SMH.

So outside of learning that I just can’t see. No. Really can’t see. I had a blast. My Godsister and I spent the down time trying on frames and took plenty of pictures so I could decide which pair were right for me:

Grrrr

It's Zoolander!

You see me. Cause I see you.

Hmmm...Yes? No? Maybe?

The Sexy Face

So after playing with trying on frames, it was time for me to get my lenses fitted with LensCrafters state of the art AccufitSM Digital Measurement system that’s supposed to deliver the most precise fit for your lenses.  It’s a new, state-of-the art digital measuring technology. They are the first Eye Care retail chain to introduce advanced digital optical measurements in both the U.S. and Canada.

It was actually rather painless and simple. You put on your frames. They use a measurement to make sure they are aligned property, take your pic with and voila, you’re done. Simple. All in all I’d say it was a really great experience and a fun day. So which pair of frames did I choose? Well you’ll just have to wait and see. Since my lenses weren’t stock I have to wait 7 to 10 days to get my glasses. Feel free to guess in the comment section below. All in all, LensCrafters offers a clearly different optical experience by helping you find your perfect pair of eyeglasses that allows you to see 5x clearer.

Me without my glasses

I’m blind as a bat.

Okay. Not really. But I have been wearing glasses since I was in Kindergarten. They do that first eye exam at school, and lo and behold my mom got a letter in the mail saying “Your daughter is in need of glasses.” Way to go Mom and Dad for giving me that great vision.

Now some twenty-odd years later, I’m in need of a new pair of glasses because my wonderful, perfect eyesight having child managed to (accidentally) crack my frames. Oy ve.

Me and my temporary glasses

So I’m off to LensCrafters so they can tell me again how very farsighted I am and to check out their new AccufitSM Digital Measurement system that’s supposed to deliver the most precise fit for your lenses.  It’s a new, state-of-the art digital measuring technology. They are the first Eye Care retail chain to introduce advanced digital optical measurements in both the U.S. and Canada  Gone are the days of the ginormous binoculars and hand fitting of your lenses. Everything else is going digital these days, why not the way you get your lenses fitted.

Of course I will write all about my Lenscrafters experience and what it’s like getting your lenses fit digitally. So, for once, I’m looking forward to a visit to the optometrist since LensCrafters offers a clearly different optical experience by helping you find your perfect pair of eyeglasses that allows you to see 5x clearer.

Going natural is the thing to do these days. I made my foray into the natural arena when I decided to rid myself of the dyes and straighteners I’d been using on my hair for years. And what I found was the freedom of wearing my natural hair is amazing and outweighs any loss of sense of style without the straighteners or the dyes.

Next, I made the decision to only purchase organic vegetables and meats. The added health benefits of eating food that is grown minus the chemicals and otherquestionable practices common in modern farming today was a major factor of in the decision to go organic, but the main reason was the taste difference between organic and non-organic foods. The truth is organic foods are delicious. You haven’t had a carrot until you’ve had an organic carrot. The freshness of organic foods more than makes up for the increase in price from non-organic eats. Better tasting food that’s good for you? You simply can’t beat that.

From there I decided that I would eliminate as much processed food from my diet as possible. If I’m eating organic fruits and vegetables, then why am I eating food with ingredients I can’t pronounce? Enter Coffe-mate Natural Bliss:

A healthy, confident mouth is essential when spreading the word on the joys of health and fitness. Can’t be an ambassador of healthy living when you’re not comfortable speaking to people because you lack confidence in the health of your mouth. If I’m ashamed to speak or smile how am I going to get my message across? The simple answer  is, I’m not.

Many people believe exercising and eating healthy is a chore and something too difficult and laborious to make a real part of their everyday lives. Basically, many people believe living healthy is just not any fun and requires too much sacrifice, so why bother. So I need my big personality, abundance of energy and big smile to convince the unbelievers that living a healthy life is not only rewarding, but fun as well.

I speak to people on a daily basis about the ways they can live more healthy productive lives. They expect me to embody the lessons I’m trying to impart to them. Having a smile that’s not bright, or breath that’s..um…questionable doesn’t help with that. My mouth is my bullhorn and ultimately what’s going to convince people that making small, regular, healthy changes in your life will ultimately lead to having the full, productive life they always wanted.

Your mouth is more than just teeth and gums, it’s your most important feature when it comes to expressing yourself and engaging with the world.  The Crest  & Oral-B Life Opens Up Project will highlight individual stories that showcase how a healthy mouth has played a role in opening up to life and to the world.  www.LifeOpensUpProject.com
