People spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on eyeglasses every year at speciality stores because they have no idea that online stores like Zenni Optical have the same quality glasses, at affordable prices. Personally, I stopped going to speciality stores because I've had so many terrible experiences with the doctors and the quality of the eyeglasses I'm received after examinations. Now you may be thinking, Lauren, you've already mentioned Zenni before. A few times actually. You're absolutely right, I have.  I like to give credit where credit is certainly deserved. After all, eyeglasses are a signature style for people like myself. Just look at my stainless steel frames. They're super savvy and smart, and they cost me a fraction of what you probably paid for yours.

Now, if you're finally taking a chance and ordering a pair of Zenni glasses like mine, all you need to do is provide a prescription online stating what your pupillary distance is. Typically, you will not be provided with this information during your exam since this would empower you to purchase your glasses from another supplier. However, you're still entitled to this information. It typically takes a little under two weeks to receive your glasses, but this is because your glasses go through rigorous quality checks before they're sent to you. That's it. In a few weeks you can start out the school year or work week with a new pair of frames, and you'll be the envy of everyone.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I've never had the pleasure of peering across the room, from a horrid cubicle, into the bosses office, which is lined with glass windows and a comfortable, oversized leather chair.  I mean, what's up with office spaces these days? They're supposed to be a conducive atmosphere for excellence. Instead, they represent a long journey to the middle, instead of the top where you should be. This is why Contest Factory is running the Pimp My Cube Contest. If you have a messy, ugly, unorganized, or outdated cubicle, you have the chance to pimp it out with a grand prize of $1200.

All you need is an angle or a funny story. Remember the scene in Office Space when the guys essentially destroy the fax machine with a bat? Ok, so Contest Factory doesn't want you to destroy company equipment, but I'm sure you can get creative, in a completely legal and hilarious way. I mean for $1200, and a chance at a new computer, stereo system, and an espresso maker, situated right in the corner on your cubicle, what wouldn't you do? So here's what you have to do.

Register at the Pimp My Cube website, and then upload your video. Once your video is approved, tell your friends and family to vote for your video on the PMC website. Even if your video doesn't win the Grand Prize, you still have a chance at a second prize, which is a $200 gift card. Video submissions start today, so don't wait. The deadline is January 31, at 12:00pm.

Good Luck!

 

 

I can’t say I was part of the 60’s, nor do I have a special connection to the historical events. Yet, individuals like my parents lived this decade. According to them, the 60’s were a time of contemplation and global awareness. A time of love and acepptance, and a time when transcendence thru drug use was the only way for people to escape the politics of goverment.

There's another side of the 1960's that many would rather forget. Some people call the 60's the "Decade of Death", when Martin Luther King, Bobby and JFK were assasinated, and civil rights activists were murdered by white supremacists.
