Wedding Season ~ What to Wear

I love attending weddings for numerous reasons.  Nine times out of ten a very good friend of mine is getting married.  While I am always very happy for my friends, I must admit that I enjoy seeing what everyone is wearing to the wedding as well.  I love to see the amazing dresses and heels that all of us women tend to bust out for special occasions.  While perusing the web I came across a very nice website with a dress that I was practically drooling over.

Greta is available in four beautiful colors:  Beach Glass (shown above), Chantilly, Midnight, and Sterling.  I particularly love this dress because of the fun color options, the straps still allow me to wear a full bra for extra support, and the high waist is flattering to most body types.  If I were to try this amazing dress on my first impulse would be to twirl around. 🙂

To view more details and size options about Greta please click here to arrive at their homepage.  From there I hovered my mouse over the Dresses option and then clicked on Social Events.

Vista Vapors ~ Great Deals if you are Planning to Switch

I have found another website that has great deals if you are looking to switch from smoking cigarettes to an electronic cigarette. Not only do they have competitive pricing, they also offer a COUPON for 10% off!  Simply enter the coupon code VISTATEN during the checkout process.  The tanks that they offer are reasonably priced and the flavors look amazing.  I personally want to check out their Rainbow flavor (it’s supposed to taste just like Skittles)!  Click the logo below to be directed to their website to view all of their wonderful items.  You will not be disappointed.  I read some of their reviews and it looks like they have excellent customer service!

Until next time,

39 Dollar Glasses

How many of you wear eyeglass or contacts?  I happen to wear glasses full-time and lets face it eyewear can be expensive.  Some of the options that they have available at the optometrists office aren’t always the greatest.  Besides, I don’t want to have the same pair that a ton of others will have as well.  I tend to lean more towards the unique looking frames.  🙂  The last time I purchased frames I didn’t have insurance so I purchased a Groupon and saved a ton of money, yet I still spent a chunk of change out of pocket.  

I think I found a website that will save me a ton of money.  I will still have to get an eye exam, but those tend to be less expensive to pay out of pocket.  It’s the frames and lenses that get you the most.  I found out about 39 Dollar Glasses.  The frames are literally $39!  My last pair of frames alone were over $100!  I figure if I can save roughly $60 then I will be one happy lady.  I did a fake order to check out the finished pricing.  If you get the frames and lenses alone they really are only $39.00!  If you decide to get the anti-reflective coating you add an additional $24.95 which brings us to a total of $63.95.  Did your jaw drop at the pricing? I know mine did!  To view this awesome website click here.

My next question was, “how much is shipping going to cost me?”  I checked into that and holy smokes is it reasonable!  For USPS first class with delivery confirmation it is only $4.95.  If you choose USPS priority mail it is only $5.95.  Second day air  is $12.90.  Do you want your glasses the next day?  For $17.90 you can have them!  When I decide to place an order I know I will select at least the priority mail option….I think I can afford $1 more to get them that much faster.

I have selected some of the frames that immediately caught my eye.  Check them out below!

Electronic Cigarettes ~ How to Make the Switch

A year and two days have gone by where I have been cigarette free!  I cannot tell you how much better I feel….and I do not smell like cigarette smoke!  I would only smoke outside or in my car, I refused to have all of my CLEAN clothes in my closet to smell like smoke.  I can now honestly say that regular smoke kind of puts me off.  It smells rather nasty.

Let me explain how I switched with success.  The first thing I did was make sure that my liquid juice did not smell/taste like a cigarette.  I selected more of the fruity flavors.  When you stick with the cigarette flavors it tends to make it trickier to actually quit smoking.  The next thing that I quickly realized that having variable airflow allows you to control how much actually inhale and have that “cloud of vapor.”  Being able to control your wattage is pretty important too.  It goes hand in hand with having that much more control of how much that you can inhale.

Another thing that you have to keep in mind is that you will be saving a TON of money in the long run.  Yes, the initial setup cost can seem expensive, but think about how many packs/cartons of cigarettes you will smoke in a month.  Your initial kit setup will cost between $30-$150 (depending on what setup you select).  You will also have wicks that need replacing typically every 2-4 weeks.  Eventually they “burn out.”  When your juice starts to have a burnt taste, that’s when you know that it might be time to swap out your wick.  Depending on your setup the wick costs will vary.  I generally spend $12-$16 on a five pack of wicks.  The five pack will generally last me roughly 2 1/2 months.  10 ml of juice is equivalent to one carton of cigarettes.  20 ml of juice is equivalent to two cartons of cigarettes.  I typically purchase the 30 ml of juice which is equivalent to three cartons of cigarettes.  The liquid juice varies in cost depending on your supplier.  It can range between $7-$25 per bottle (depending on the size of bottle that you choose).

One of the most important things is to first purchase a KIT rather than attempting to put together a modified setup.  You need to get yourself familiar with your setup first before you play around with customization.  As the old saying goes….baby steps 🙂  The EcoLUX kit was the first kit that I purchased.  This did NOT have a variable air flow (there are some kits like these that do have variable air flow…I just didn’t purchase one at the time).  This was a good kit to test the waters with.  The one downfall is that the kit that I purchased had a hard plastic tank.  Some of the juices available can only be put into a glass tank….so keep that in mind if you decide to start out with this kit.  Click here to see what exactly comes in this setup through PREMIUMecigarettes.

My next kit that I purchased was the Innokin iTaste VTR kit and I purchased a larger tank that would hold more juice.  This kit can be found here through PREMIUMecigarettes.  You can find the Aspire Nautilus tank through here at PREMIUMecigarettes.  When you purchase this tank, you will need to use the extender that comes with the iTaste VTR kit.  The reason you have to use the extender is because the Aspire Nautilus will not fit like shown in the picture above.  This particular setup was great for starting out; however, it is rather on the clunky side so keep that in mind.  The reason I thought it was perfect for starting out was because it didn’t overload me with as many options.  You won’t be able to inhale quite as much due to the control settings.  I found it to be perfect because I didn’t cough myself senseless.  Typically the first time you inhale from an electronic cigarette (aka eCig) you will most likely cough a little because you will inhale exactly like you would a regular cigarette.

I recently decided to purchase a smaller setup with a bigger air flow.  I compared costs with other kits, the size, and style and finally came to the decision to purchase the KangerTech SUBOX Mini kit.  This kit is MUCH smaller than my previous one.  Don’t get me wrong, I still use my VTR…just not as much.  A few different people I know have a couple of different setups and/or tanks so that they can bounce back and forth between different flavors.  This particular kit has a larger wick and allows me to inhale quite a bit at once.  I get that larger “cloud of vapor” effect.  To view what exactly comes in this particular kit through PREMIUMecigarettes, please click here.

I know this is a lot of information to process and there is much more to learn!  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask away.  Don’t forget to check back for additional posts.

Not only do these particular heels look comfortable, they have a unique style to them that you won’t see everywhere!  They would go with so much in my closet 🙂  I am going to narrow it down to three of my favorites from the website Blue and Cream; which I have to tell you was VERY hard to do!!  Let’s take a look at what I discovered.

Say hello to Roisin Red/Black Stingray by Chrissie Morris! These heels would definitely be a conversation starter on a night out on the town.  They would add that special touch to the perfect outfit! Click here to view on the Blue and Cream website.
