The Faces Of My Sunglasses

I am addicted to sunglasses. I have gotten at least one pair of sunglasses every year for the past 14 years (usually for Christmas). I want to explain the relevance of owning so many pairs and more importantly, why I need more! :)

General Protection: In a previous post, I explained the importance of your eye wear protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays. A good pair will provide full protection, but polarized glasses takes safety a step further and actually makes your vision crisper and clearer. Polarization cuts out glare that may hinder your vision while driving, etc.

Making a Statement: Depending on the situation, a great pair of sunglasses speaks volumes. For example, when you're on a poker tour. Nothing says "I'm a serious gambler" like wearing a pair of sunglasses indoors... at night. Or here's another statement, "Hey, I'm a uni-bomber." Hopefully you're seeing how a great pair of sunglasses tells a lot about a person. And I'm seeing a preference for black. Maybe it's the new pink?

Accessorizing: Topping a great outfit with an even greater pair of sunglasses is a no-brainer, but on days when the outfit isn't saying "I'm hot!", a great pair of sunglasses will. I have a pair of sunglasses in just about every color (although my Bvlgari 857B's in yellow and my Tiffany and Co. 4004B's in Ivory seem to elude me) to accessorize with my entire wardrobe. I will go a step further to say the my sunglasses actually make up my wardrobe as it is my experience I can be wearing sweats and a t-shirt... but mess up my hair, throw on some lip gloss and a rockin pair of shades and I'm ready for my close up!

Natural Selection: Finally, I find myself drawn to other people's sunglasses and will strike up a conversation just to get a closer look. Food for thought here - it is preferred that you actually go through the motions of establishing a relationship with this person BEFORE asking to borrow or try on their sunglasses. Skipping this step may result in orders of protection and/or police visitation. The latter is actually kind of cool because the police usually wear very sporty shades, but they have a tendency to not let you try theirs on either. Yah, the natural selection can turn into unnatural selection unfortunately. I wonder how many uni-bombers I've talked to?

By my example you can see, sunglasses go way beyond protection and provide many benefits and services. Think of all the money you will save, all the friends you will meet (Officer Friendly is just a name... trust me) and the interesting life you will have just by owning great sunglasses. This completes my civic duty. I'm a giver and blog with a purpose.

Past 7 Days....

Quick Tip and Treat!

So I was on my group message board at P eertrainer.com and someone made a recommendation that I thought was wonderful! So wonderful in fact that I spent the afternoon balancing my checkbook to see if I can afford it!!!! Apparently the Magic Bullet is quite the go-to gadget for trainers and athletes! Why? Isn't that just another piece of garbage that they are trying to push on those infomercials??? Well, that's what I thought, but I've gotta say that more than one person in the discussion said that this piece of garbage is invaluable in keeping them on track with their nutrition. Here's what I heard today about the Magic Bullet: It's got a really powerful motor It really is quick and easy to use (the infomercial didn't lie) The handy single servings make it quick and easy to whip up a power shake for a quick "treat"! If you drink more than one a day, you can make many different types of shakes without continually dirtying up an entire unit! NICE! A co...

You Can Thank Scandalous

Alright, this is a long story that I'll sum up right here: I'm giving away one of my bottles of Gun Metal Pink FLASH (also known as My Private Jet by OPI). That will leave me with only two bottles, so it's almost as important as giving one of you a kidney... if I had three kidneys. Ok... so.... one day I posted a blog about my all-time favorite nail polish My Private Jet , after seeing someone else's post of the same polish that didn't look anything near the polish I have. The one I saw was a holo and mine WAS NOT. Mine was an AWESOME gun metal pink! So I posted a question as to why my My Private Jet looked so different. Well, I got some VERY helpful responses from some VERY helpful bloggers informing me that there are MANY versions of this particular polish and that no one had yet heard of MY version. I even got a request from Scandalous over at Scandalously Polished to let her know if I find another one, and I did find another three, so I sent one to her. Now my ...
