Thursday Tidbits: Barstools

House hunting is absolutely exhausting!!! We have been looking for three months so far and have seen lots of houses, some good and some awful and I'm starting to feel like it's never going to end. To break the monotony I've been imagining my dream house and shopping for the perfect furniture for it.

One thing that I want is a really nice island or counter where family and friends can pull up barstools and converse while I'm in the kitchen preparing meals. And who knows... maybe I'll get to put my feet up from time to time.

So I decided to check CSNStores, since I know that they carry just about everything. Sure enough, I found AllBarStools.com which carries thousands of different barstools. Here are some of my favorites:

I love these, but they swivel. I think the kids would do a lot more swiveling than eating so...

But I absolutely LOVE these! I adore everything about this barstool, from the distressed brown leather to the nailhead trim.

EyeBuyDirect.com Review and Giveaway

I was recently selected to test the services of EyeBuyDirect.com. I primarily wear contacts, but I have been rocking my new glasses every since they arrived last week because I adore them.

I have really bad vision and usually get annoyed when I go to a brick and mortar store to shop for glasses. It seems like they either a) don't have enough frames to choose from or b) they rush me to the back to begin the exam and then expect me to choose frames after they've dilated my eyes and I can no longer see. With EyeBuyDirect, I didn't run into either of those problems. There were literally, hundreds of frames to choose from starting from just $7.95 including prescription lenses.

I was able to narrow my choices down to two and then got stuck. But that wasn't a problem, because I was able to try them on virtually using the EyeTry system and post it to Facebook to have my friends vote on which frames they liked best.

After choosing the Bourges frames, I selected options like thinner, photochromatic lenses. As well as anti scratch, anti reflective, and UV coatings all for under $100! My new glasses were made and shipped within two weeks and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. This was my first time ordering prescription eyewear online and I was pleasantly surprised by quality of both their service and products.
