Not So Little Things


Today marks a solid month that I have been wearing contacts only and let me tell you, my eyes are tired. My glasses are more than a year old so I know that I need new ones. Since my days are full with work, school, and my family I decided to look online. That’s when I came across eyeglasses.com. Now when I buy glasses I want ones that compliment my look. Therefore, I need a variety to choose from. That is exactly what I found at eyeglasses.com. With top notch brands like Baby Phat, Giorgio Armani, and Gucci these glasses were stylish and affordable. This was a surprise for me because whenever I have bought my eyeglasses in the past I avoided big brands because of the price. More and more I am becoming aware that online shopping is not only convenient, but a lot more practical for these financial times. My eyes are really important to me and I do not recommend anyone neglecting their eyes like I have. My busy work/life schedule is no longer an excuse now that I know about eyeglasses.com. I am going to give my eyes a much needed break, but if I can look good while doing it that makes it even better.

Making It On My Own, Well Sort Of

When I had my son in 2002 I made a very important decision, I was never going to depend on anyone to take care of us. I had my high school diploma but I knew that it would take more knowledge to make my decision a reality. That is why I decided to enroll in an entrepreneurial 13-week course. In this course I learned a lot about running my own business. However, I did not gain enough knowledge about how to finance this business. Over the years I have been trying gain this knowledge and that is when I came across the name Jared Metz. Apparently when it comes to business funding he is the guy with the “know how”. I always do my research so I looked up Jared Metz and he has an interesting bio. Although his background has been mainly in orthotics and prosthetics, he specializes in helping all types of U.S. businesses. Honestly I did not know that there were specialists, like Jared Metz, who find financing for businesses. I have often said that knowledge is power. I am learning that everyday, as I try to take my financial life to the next level. It is good to know that there is help out there because I cannot do everything, even though I sometimes think I can.
