Sun On Your Face: Mass Vision Sunglasses Review

Part of: New Year, New You

Feel The Sun ON Your Face:  Not Your Eyes

MassVisionInc.com

* Fun Fact:  Did you know that wearing sunglasses can reduce your chances of getting Crow's Feet wrinkles?

We all love to get outside and feel the sun beating down on us.  In fact, it's a pretty important part of life, getting natural sunlight.  Sunlight can help to boost your health as well as your mood.  One of the bummers of winter time is struggling with "Winter Blues" because of the lack of daylight.  So, getting outside is really vital to your well-being.

HOWEVER, we all know how badly it stinks to be in the bright, bright sun without sunglasses to block those powerful rays.  So, sunglasses are fun, but they are also a practical item.  But who wants to rock some sunglasses that are NOT cute??  Choosing the right sunglasses is about as important as choosing the right handbag.  The right sunglasses can be like the perfect topping to a great outfit, the WRONG sunglasses can throw your whole look off.

Mass Vision Inc: Options

So, all ladies know that a key to a good shopping experience is the power of CHOICE.  We need options.  Well, the folks at MassVisionInc.com definitely have  plenty of options for their customers. They carry a wide variety of brands and styles to fit just about all personalities and styles. 

They ALSO can cater to different types of buyers.  Whether your looking to make an individual purchase or a BULK purchase, they have you covered.

They have really nicely priced packages available!  You can choose to purchase a "Mixed Dozen" that includes 12 different sunglasses for starting at $30!!  To see the different options available:  MassVisionInc.com: Mixed Dozen Packages

My Experience:

I received my sunglasses fairly quickly.  I actually have delayed my posting because I had wrapped them as a gift for my son for Christmas and it wasn't until after Christmas was over and I started thinking about everything my children received that I realized he never opened the sunglasses, so I'm not quite sure where the "Sunglasses Present" disappeared to.  I had wanted to get some pictures of my son wearing his new shades, and so sadly since the sunglasses are MIA, I was unable to do so.  

It really stinks, because this was one of those gifts I knew he was going to get really excited to see!  However, that's not massvisioninc.com's problem or fault. 

Besides my sunglasses or Cody's Sunglasses going missing, I was really happy with this pair of sunglasses.  DG sunglasses are everywhere it seems and I always seem to hover over their styles versus other styles when I'm in the store.  I also know that Cody would have LOVED these, he would have been extremely thrilled with getting these if they hadn't gone missing!

Overall:  

I'm really pleased with this product and even more impressed by the site in which sent these to me for review.  I think that they have really affordable options for any budget as well as a lot of varieties of types of sunglasses.  They don't just sell sunglasses, but also offer a variety of other types of glasses from Safety Goggles to Reading Glasses to Clip-Ons and Fit-Overs, they have just about any type of glasses that you may be searching for.

They also have a blog in which they give different types of helpful advice in regards to sunglasses.  One article is a post about choosing your sunglasses based on your face shape!

NOW About My Apron:

Beautiful & Bold Print!

For starters, this apron is absolutely insanely GORGEOUS!  I love the vivid Black & White print! It's an eye catcher, for SURE!!!  

The design of this apron is also extremely funtional!  With the collar of the apron, it's super easy to take on and off without having to find someone to grab and ask to tie it up.  The only downside to the design is, being a little bit of a skinny person, it's a tad looser and lower than what I'd like, but not extremely so.  It's still beautiful on and it's not so low that it's not functional or pretty on.

I love the placement of the pocket.  Not only is it super convenient, it's also HUGE!  And so you can slide tons of stuff inside this one little pocket!  I love the wide trim on the pocket!  It's insanely GORGEOUS!

The backside of this apron ia just as gorgeous as the front is!  I love the tie strings and the black trim edging!  It really makes it pop and makes whomever is wearing it feel like a throwback to a 50's era housewife.

I love wearing this around the house when I'm cleaning, etc.  I am so scared to mess this gorgeous apron up, that I actually haven't used it for cooking.  Perhaps I'll try it when baking sometime, but I use a lot of cooking oil, etc and I always, ALWAYS find it all over me.  I do NOT want to mess my gorgeous apron up!

It would be great for holiday parties or whatever that you might be hosting at your home.  You are sure to stand out and make everything look super easy donning this super fab apron!  Your guests will picture you as having it all together!

Let's Get Physical: Accessories to Get Your Blood Pumping

Suddora: Pink Ribbons

(Purchase Here)

Suddora: Pink Ribbon Sweatbands

Who is Suddora???

From sports bras to mouth gear to sweatbands and just about everything in between, Suddora provides their customers the accessories that they need to get active.  They strive to provide their customer's with high quality atheletic merchandise.

Whether your purchasing for yourself or for a huge GROUP they have really reasonable prices.  They offer bulk pricing and same day shipping!!

Getting Physical:

So, my daughter and I put our sweatbands on and proceeded to do our own version of  a workout video to "Eye of the Tiger".  I uploaded the video and it was flagged for using the song :(  So, I can't upload it here to show you these in action.

But, needless to say that wearing these truly did get us in the spirit of working out and wanting to get up and move.  Something about these sweatbands just make you want to dance (our form of exercising!).

Quality:

The quality of these sweatbands were surpsingly really nice.  I've had sweatbands before and they just felt very cheaply made, yet these truly feel as if they have been made with quality materials and are going to outlast.  They are gorgeous and I still like grabbing them and putting them on whenever the mood strikes!

CustomOnIt

www.customonit.com

If your looking instead for a more customized option, then CustomOnIt is where you need to go!  They offer a variety of prodcuts that can be customized to your specifications!

In our "work-out" video, this is actually what I was wearing.  This is a great option for those who are looking for a product to have their own logo emblazoned on stuff!

Options, Options, Options...

Whether your looking for sweatbands or something else to have customized, CustomOnIt probably has whatever it is that you are looking for.  With items ranging from wearables to toys to business products, there's a product for whatever your needs!  

Quality:

The headband that I received seems to be a great product.  I actually am using it as a headband for when I put my make-up on!  I have another headband, but it's more cutesy and I really don't want to get my makeup all over it, so this is perfect for that!  

However, it truly is a nice product!  If you are looking for wearables than they have a huge range of options from sunglasses to ponchos to bandanas and flip-flops!

A Workout For Your ARM:

Gyro Force Ball

 So, this is the most awkward review I've ever done.  I actually cannot leave a review for this item, because I cannot figure out how to work this thing.  The product information isn't available to even tell you much about it.

What I do know is this:

There's a little ball on the inside, there's a little string that you use to attach around the ball and your supposed to be able to make the inside ball spin and at the same time work out your arm.  I actually watched a guy's Amazon Review on this, but I for the life of me could not make it work.

I am not very coordinated though.  I had my son and his friend try it out and I believe that the friend was able to get it to work, not anywhere near what the guy in the video was doing though.

Gyro Force Ball:  This is where the string is supposed to go....

For AFTER Getting Physical......

Chef Necessities Tea Infuser

Chef Necessities Tea Infuser on Amazon

For many Americans, a nice cup of hot tea is a special treat.  Tea drinking is of course a part of life in places such as Europe.  I'm from the south and so drinking tea for us consists of grabbing our cold sweet tea out of the fridge and pouring over ice.  That's what tea drinking is to me.

However, I know that this isn't the case with everyone.  So, for those of you who prefer a nice hot cup of tea versus "Iced tea" or a "cup of joe", then this is a great little device for you.

It allows you to brew fresh tea with each cup you drink.  Simply put loose tea grinds inside the "tea infuser" and then place in your hot cup of water and you have yourself a nice hot tea (I'm guessing here....  ).  This actually was a gift for my mother-in-law who loves her chai tea!  So, I'm sure she's going to be tickled pink when she has this cute little gift set !

I really like the little compartment that they have for you to place the little infuser part inside when not in use!  It should eliminate quite a bit of mess!!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Wade & Belle Tights: Perfect Accessory this Holiday Season

Accessorize this holiday season with Wade & Belle Stockings

Wade & Belle 

Wade & Belle is a smallish company that was founded by two sisters.  They saw a need in the panty hose arena.  For ladies, you will appreciate and understand the frustration and the discomfort associated with panty hose (a must for the working woman or a woman who attends a lot of fancy parties) and how they tend to be extremely tight and uncomfortable around the waist area. 

They decided to create a pair of stockings that would eliminate the uncomfy tightness around the waistline and today they have three designs of their life changing stockings.

A Change...

This picture shows the unique design of the Wade & Belle stockings.  What they managed to create was a stocking that wouldn't "Dig" into your gut (creating those unsightly fat rolls), they created a stocking that would manage to lie flat underneath your most form fitting dress, losing the tell-tale signs that other stockings leave behind!!

(I took this image from the Wade & Belle site)

Gorgeous & Cozy

So, it's all well and good to have a pair of tights or stockings that are comfy, but if they ain't cute they ain't going on my body....  Fortunately, they also thought about women and their desire to look cute as well as be nice and cozy!!

 Packaging:

Ok, so anyone who is familiar with me, knows that I am a sucker for a gorgeously packaged product and these stockings arrived in an absolutely sophisticated box.

It made it go from just getting a pair of stockings to created an "experience" receiving these!  The way a company pays attention to small details, in my mind is what truly makes a company rise to greatness and shows how they care about their products and their customers.

They could have simply thrown these packages into a brown envelope and saved themselves some time and money, but they went above the call of duty and wanted their name displayed on a package that set themselves apart.

 Wade & Belle Tights:

Currently, they have three styles to choose from.  Each beautiful and special in its' own way.  These designs are great and perfect for just about any occassion you can imagine!!

They even included a little scented sachet, how cute is it!!!

Seeing is Believing...

Take a look at the three different styles in action....  These tights are also unique in that they are ONE SIZE fits all!  So,  no need to worry about getting the wrong size!  I was a tad confused when they never asked me what size I would need LOL!  When I opened the package, I then understood!

"Polka Dots"

" Cross Applesauce"

"Plain Jane"

SassyHolidays Recommendation:

So, these were chosen as a product for the SassyHolidays Gift Guide.  The reasons??  Well, for starters, this is a time of year when fancy parties are at their peak and so for all of these fancy do's you will be attending, a great pair of tights are a no-brainer!

I also chose them, because they also would make a great gift for your daughter, wife or yourself! Do something for yourself this holiday season and gift yourself a gift of "Style" with a pair of gorgeously designs tights / stockings / panty hose whatever you want to call them from Wade & Belle!

Bear Paw Shoes

Bear Paws on Facebook

I live in Alabama where the weather is extremely unpredictable.  It can be mid-December and we can experience a heat wave.  However, we do have those frosty mornings more often than not.  Especially this time of year.  One afternoon we can be relaxing outside in our tshirts and shorts and the next, find that we need to scramble to find the warmest clothing possible to keep the frost away.

So, finding warm clothing of course is a must, but finding warm footwwear is essential.  Afterall, if your feet are warm and cozy it helps to keep the rest of your body warm and cozy.  While, it's of course important to find a good pair of shoes to keep you warm, finding some that are also STYLISH is also as important!  Especially when you have teen daughters, like I do!
