Light as Air

I am HORRIBLE on my glasses. I lay them around, never like they are supposed to be. I take them off and put them somewhere and then can’t find them. I weed-eat in them. I am the epitome of the absent minded, glasses wearing, geek. Especially this past week. I got a set of new lenses because well, I weed-eat in my glasses. I wish I had taken a before picture of them, they were scratched, chipped and warped. Seriously. They were sad and I could have showed you just how sad, if I would just remember things like that. My lenses were replaced with Airwear eyeglass lenses by Essilor. These babies are so light that I am constantly hunting for my glasses…which will just happen to be on my face. I LOVE them. I wouldn’t have thought that a pair of lenses could make such a difference but they do. They are so clear and light weight. They are impact and scratch resistant…and for me, that is HUGE!  In addition to increased durability, the lenses are made using environmentally conscious practices such as 100 percent recycled water, 100 percent recyclable packaging, and the company re-purposes unused materials in other industries. With these new, green practices Airwear conserves millions of gallons of water and eliminates 570,000 pounds of plastic waste every year! You can read more about Airwear’s dedication to taking care of our planet at www.LighterSaferGreener.com.

You now have the choice to go “green” with your eyewear… how cool is that?  Airwear® polycarbonate lenses from Essilor are 43% lighter and 10 times more impact resistant than regular lenses,  made using environmentally-conscious practices, including the use of 100% recycled water, 100% recyclable packaging and re-purposing unused materials in other industries. But going green doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort, performance, protection or style. With Airwear you can have both!

And Airwear has the reputation to back it up. When I talked to my Optometrist about Airwear he had nothing but praises to sing about their lenses. He guaranteed me that I would love them and that they would be perfect for my lifestyle. He was right!

If you are in the market for new lenses or glasses, ask for Airwear. You can’t go wrong!

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Airwear and received a pair of Airwear eyeglass lenses to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

Rosie Hippo was born of a deep love for inspiring children’s imagination and creativity through a carefully hand-selected collection of natural, earth-friendly toys.

At Rosie Hippo, you will find beautifully handcrafted wooden toys, toys made from organic fabrics, toys from individuals, companies, villages and cooperatives around the world, and books and games that stimulate creativity and independent thought. We offer toys that we hope will become family heirlooms….toys that will evoke a sense of fun, curiosity and wonder for that special little one in your life. All of their toys are produced under conditions that are fair to workers and kind to our environment.

_images_product_icon_f737_puppy-tab-towel-doll_1They choose toys that are all natural, unique, organic and handcrafted. Wonderful stuff! Take the Puppy Tab Towel Doll for instance. Towel Dolls are an old fashioned European tradition for new mothers. This soft and cuddly Towel Doll is made of cuddly flannel and cotton and features colorful pull-tabs that little fingers love to grab. The fabric absorbs the familiar smell of mother to create a calming effect for baby at nap and bedtime. The soft cloth is cozy and warm for the baby’s first months and later becomes their most trusted and favorite playmate. We absolutely love this towel doll and the quality is fabulous! We can’t wait to check out some of the other things from Rosie Hippo as well.

Rosie Hippo offers a wide selection of toys, books, games, etc for many ages. If you are looking for something special to add to your child’s toy box or as a gift for that special friend or family member check out Rosie Hippo! And I would like to personally thank Rosie Hippo for giving me the opportunity to check out their great products!

My Mom bought herself a lawnmower that she can use and maintain. I think she got tired of relying on us to either Mom her lawn or start her mower. Anyway, everyone of the kids that comes through here LOVES this thing. Tit is old fashioned, has no motor, is not newfangledwithtonsofbellsandwhistles, but they all love it! Who would have thought? And, it is great exercise. Even better for the environment. And Shhhh, it is fun to use. Please don’t tell. I have snuck over a few times to check it out and I really like it. But please don’t tell her, cause I made fun of her when she got it. I didn’t think it would work very good. I was wrong. Very wrong. And I love that the kids like to “play” with it, because when they do…they get half the work done! How great is that?
