Firmoo Review

A couple months ago I was contacted by the largest online eyeglass store, Firmoo, to write an unbiased opinion post on their fabulous glasses and sunglasses. With my operation recovery, it was impossible to take photos (major swelling) and write a thorough review until now. I was able to chose my own free pair, with my prescription included, and in doing so I can share with my readers about the latest First Pair Free program!! It was hard choosing which pair I wanted because I don't like shopping online. I'm old school. I like trying things on and think shopping should be physical but Firmoo's Virtual Try-On System was a huge help. On the left side on the site, there's an app where you can upload your OWN picture and try on lens that way or choose from a wide range of models and have the models 'try on' the glasses for you.

Majority of the glasses and sunglasses are very classic, chic in style, great for men and women, and the color/pattern choices are wide enough for my taste! Each description of the pairs include measurements of the lens which is very helpful for those afraid picking up a pair that's too big or small for their face. I ended up picking a pair that was too big for my face. If you're unsure, as silly as this is sounds, measure your face and then compare the numbers to the len's. 

Now onto the good stuff! Free stuff!! The First Pair Free program allows you to choose your first pair for FREE, only paying for shipping. If you don't like the lens or it doesn't fit right on you, send them right back for a refund/exchange.

I also have a FREE SHIPPING Code for you! For U.S. Shipping on orders $39 or more, use code: FREESHIP
For all other countries with orders $55 or more, use code: FREEEXSHIP

My pair is #SD2266 in Tortoise. They're a little too big for me but it's great to have a backup pair.

Arizona and Nevada 3

The last half of the trip included jet skiing for the first time and experiencing the famous Vegas nightlife. Unfortunately, I don't have many photos of the night time adventures; what was I thinking?!

My family, Johnny, and I rented a couple of jet skies and had a blast on Lake Havasu. When John tried to do a donut, we fell off the jet ski and it was quickly moving away from us. My uncle had to jump into the lake, swim to our jet ski and manually turn it off. It was such a funny situation, I was laughing my ass off during the whole ordeal. My Aunt had no problem going the fastest speed possible but Johnny and I were a bit of scaredy cats. We went fast but not nearly as fast as she did. I can't wait to do it again, I promised myself I would go faster.

If you ever get the chance, you've GOT to try jet skiing! It's such a fun and thrilling experience. The warm sun cascading on your skin, the water lightly spraying your face, and laughing with friends is the best.

Our night time adventures were really fun. I participated in an Anthony Cools' hypnotism show. I'm too embarrassed to tell you what I ended up doing, let's just say Johnny actually bought the $45 DVD as a form of blackmail (smart but cruel, Hell, I'd do it too).

Here's the last of the photos, enjoy!

Arizona and Nevada 2

Here is part two of the Nevada and Arizona trip (part one). Johnny and I's 7th year anniversary took place while on vacation. In fact we were in Las Vegas on our anniversary (May 25). Once we had gotten settled into our hotels we ran off to the famous strip (it was the first time in Vegas for the both of us). We walked for so long that my feet still hurt! We visited Mandalay Bay's Shark Reef aquarium and later dined at the Sugar Factory. The day was just wonderful, filled with sharks, sting rays, creamy berry milkshakes, and amazingly good mac n' cheese balls. I recommend everyone who gets the chance to try the Sugar Factory. It's a lot like Max Brenner's, great food, a bit pricey, but did I mention the amazing food and desserts? They even a jolly rancher and smores martini, need I say more? Anyways, enough of the chatter and on with the photos.

On our way!

Arizona and Nevada 1

I didn't want to overwhelm you with tons of photos in one post so I'll be breaking things up in a couple of posts.

The beginning of the trip was not very smooth and quite exhausting. The first flight got delayed a couple of hours which made us miss the connection flight and that connection was the last one for the night. Not wanting to spend extra money on a hotel room and there been almost no available rooms in Houston, TX, the family and I spent the night in the airport. And no, we hardly had any sleep and but when we did, we slept in the funkiest positions. The airport was so eerie and quiet at midnight, I felt like Tom Hank's character in "Terminal".

When we finally got to our first destination, Laughlin, NV, we all sighed a big breath of relief. Here is the first set of photos from my vacation to Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada.

 My uncle lives pretty much on the Nevada and Arizona state border so he took us on a wonderful tour of the surrounding area. We went to visit a little old mining town where people still live called Oatman, Arizona. Oatman, a former mining town which began a tent town and ocated in infamous Route 66, is a favorite tourist destination. There are cowboy shows, tons of cute shops, and wild roaming burros. You can read more about the town's history here and I suggest you do, it's fascinating! Here are some photos of my visit to Oatman.
