Glasses and Braces Oh My!

Big news in the Grove this week....braces and eyeglasses!  If you were thinking Mini K is growing up much too soon, you are correct, because I AM the one getting both!

Clearly I am feeling old if I need glasses and if braces were NOT bad enough the first time, think about how it feels to be getting them again, at 30...well 30 something.

Am I getting those snazzy trays that are not too obvious....NOPE the full on silver removable (Thank you GOD!) bottom bottom braces with a spring on each side.  Being pregnant with Baby C made my lower teeth move and 3 years later I am getting them fixed.

Now onto the glasses, I knew this day would come, it seems to arrive for everyone.  I am choosing to focus on 2 things:
1.  It's a "minor" prescription, my doctor's own statement not just myself trying to make it better

2.  I am going to get cash back thanks to Ebates!  I just ordered these from Warby Parker.  For the record, I am not being paid for this post, in fact, I PAID for my glasses and they were a steal!  Warby Parker lets you try on up to 5 pairs at home of their prescription or sunglasses.  So I ordered5 pairs, never mind they that all were basically the same.  They shipped them to me in less than a week and I had 5 days to basically put them on and off at home and pretend that I was daring and ordered crazy shapes and colors when in fact I ordered the same shape in 5 very different shades of tortoise.  I ended up with these and got free shipping, no sales tax and 6% cash back because Warby Parker, like so many of my other favorite stores is on Ebates!

This getting old is rough!  How has your week been?

What's That Letter?

So it's official...I am getting old...at least in one eye. My visit to the eye doctor yesterday came with a party favor: a prescription for glasses.

Now I know many of you wear glasses or contacts and the does NOT mean you are old. I know my new "condition" means that because his helpful nurse, said "oh hom a lot of people need glasses when they get to be"....wait for it....."YOUR AGE!" If nurses were wait staff she wouldn't have gotten a tip.

I spent last night in front of the computer (which I could see) looking at frames and then decided I would check out ebates! Why, because I am going to continue my ebates obsession this yer and see just how many of the items I would purchase anyway could earn me cash back! Let's just say the deals almost made up for the prescription. I discovered Lens Direct. They will give me 6% CASH BACK through ebates and I can save 20% with a coupon code (CJEYE20), plus they offer free shipping. You can choose if you want them to put your lenses in or just send you the glasses and you can take them to your doctor. I think I am going to have my doctor put the lenses in, and while I do love the Chanel glasses with the pearl on the side, EVERY SINGLE PERSON that I know who has them says it falls out or catches in their hair so I am thinking I might stick to Tory Burch or Kate Spade, but these YSL ones also caught my eye.

Now if only facials and botox were on ebates I would be in heaven! Mr. G is still amazed at how my loyalty to the site has paid off....I am halfway to the splurge bag I have been wanting simply by ordering the things we use anyway from soap.com and diapers.com via ebates! (Okay and maybe a few more stores!)

And if you haven't joined ebates yet, you can join HERE.

So which pair of frames do you like?
