Tip: Cheap Glasses from Zenni

I love wearing glasses, I always have done. I wore them from a very early age so I guess I am just used to them – it amazes me how much my parents used to have to pay for glasses when I was younger though, they could easily cost hundreds of pounds on the high street. Unlike now where as long as you know your PD you can order some online for as little as $6.95 from sites like Zenni Optical among others.

What’s great about them being so cheap is that you can buy more – I have several pairs to suit my various moods, what I am wearing or even the season. With valentines day just around the corner now I am thinking of getting some nice $6.95 pr​escripti​on eyegl​asses​ to add to my collection. I don’t think I will go for any thing too obvious like a heart or flower pattern, but something in pink maybe, despite it being my favourite colour for some reason I don’t already own any pink glasses.

I may even ask my other half to purchase them for me as a gift for valentines day, I’d always rather have something that will last rather than the traditional gifts such as chocolate and flowers.

What is Nopalea and how can it benefit you?

I’m very much interested in my own health and well being and a lot of people feel the same way, espcially in Januray after perhaps over indulging a little over the Christmas period. Eating whole foods, plant based diet does wonders for the human body, significantly reducing the risk of myriad diseases, promoting optimal internal system health, helping to maintain a healthy body weight and much more.

I also discourage pharmaceuticals when and wherever possible, as there are many plant based alternatives that can be very effective in countering certain health problems.

With that in mind, I find the Nopalea wellness drink quite interesting.

According to the manufacturer (TriVita, Inc):

Nopalea (No-pah lay’uh) is a tasty wellness drink sourced from the fruit of the Nopal cactus (Opuntia Ficus Indica). The healing properties of the Nopal cactus have been relied on for centuries by native peoples, and they’re now available in Nopalea. Each 32–ounce bottle of Nopalea brims with the health benefits of the Nopal fruit. Nopalea helps your body neutralize its inner toxins and reduce its inflammation.

I had not previously heard of the Nopal cactus, nor the name Opuntia Ficus Indica, but when I looked up more information on the plant, my suspicions were confirmed: this is the cactus also known as the Prickly Pear, which is native to my home region, the Sonoran desert.

With the help of Nopal cactus extracts, Nopalea is packed with rare and potent antioxidants that are scientifically proven to help the body reduce inflammation.

TriVita claims that when you take Nopalea daily, it can help your body:
Reduce inflammation
Cleanse itself of daily toxins
Promote optimal health

Seeing as though the anti-oxidants contained in this drink have been proven to help with inflammation (the leading cause of pain), I can see this product being a very helpful plant-based solution that could help many people. In addition, I personally LOVE the taste of the prickly pear cactus fruit, so it’s very likely that I would enjoy the taste of this wellness drink. I’m certainly looking forward to trying out Nopalea for myself in the near future.

Over 3 million bottles of the Nopalea anti-inflammatory wellness drink have been sold. To learn more, check out the Nopalea Facebook page or try it for free (only pay $9.95 for shipping) by calling 1-800-203-7063.

Tip: Where to buy MoroccanOil online

I used some MoroccanOil Shampoo for the first time a few weeks ago and I have to say I was hugely impressed – it did wonders for my hair and the results actually seemed to last a long time. I almost didn’t want to wash it again with my regular shampoo. I have been on the lookout for a good place to buy MoroccanOil online since, somewhere cheap but reliable – I came across HairTrader.co.uk and they seem to be the best option at the moment.

I am going to order some now and I can’t wait to give my poor hard worked hair another MoroccanOil Oil Treatment and have it looking all shiny and gorgeous again.

Tip: Find the cheapest mobile deals

I just spent the last week or so trying to find a new mobile phone for my fiance. Back in the summer when we were on holiday his phone, that he loved and had had for around 3 years, got drowned when we got stuck out at sea on a little boat in a storm – not fun. As it was me who insisted he take his phone ‘just in case‘ I always felt guilty and said I would replace it.

He’s had to wait 6 months, but he’s getting one in the end.

He is very picky which is partly why it’s taken so long, but he also has expensive taste – he really wanted an iPhone, but this bargain queen was not happy to be spending so much on a phone so kept an eye out for a good deal.

I just need to use the jailbreakme software from Iphonelox.com so that he can use his existing sim in it and not have to get a new contract.

Hopefully he’ll be happy come his birthday morning.

Tip: Get Cheap Eyeglasses from Zenni Optical

There are many things we have to spend a lot of money on even though we’d rather save our pennies – petrol, tax, prescriptions and all round great eyeglasses to name a few.

But when you need these things you need them and the costs are unavoidable. But of course you should make sure you shop around so that you are getting the best return on your money. There are sites out there that will find the cheapest petrol in your area or teach you how to make sure you are only paying the tax you ought to be.

And I am about to tell you about a site that will save you a small fortune on your eyeglasses, I heard about them from Clark Howards new book called “Living Large in Lean Times” – the site is Zennioptical.com and you can pick up pairs of prescription glasses for as little as $8 (around £5). They are a US based company but ship worldwide. The glasses are of the highest quality and they have a huge range available so there’s something to suit every taste. I have personally been ordering my glasses from them for around 3 years now and recommend them to every one I know.

Just go for a sight test at any reputable opticians and ask for your prescription – they are legally obliged to provide you with this so don’t feel like you are doing something wrong in asking for it and buying your glasses elsewhere.

Tip: Sell Mobile Phones for the best price

I used to buy and sell phones on ebay a few years ago and could make a tidy profit. Of course it was a case of knowing what to look for and taking advantage of various discounts and offers and it didn’t always work out – a few times I bought phones to sell on and ended up losing money on them, partly because they didn’t sell for as much as I expected they would but also because the ebay listing and final value fees kept getting higher and higher to the point that it just wasn’t worth it any more and I stopped doing it.

I have thought about starting it up again but I am not as savvy about phones as I used to be, heck I don’t even own a smart phone yet – I have a 4 year old LG flip phone – so feel I’d need to do a lot of research first.

One area that is interesting though are the sites where you can recycle your old phones for various cash amounts, but with so many of them how do you know if you are getting the best price? That’s where a site like sellmymobile.com comes in especially handy as they allow you to compare the prices from several sites so you can be sure you are getting the best possible price for your old phone without having to put the leg work in yourself.

As well as earning a little pocket money that you can put towards a new phone or any thing else you might fancy, recycling your old mobile phone in this way is better for the environment than just throwing it in a bin or (like me) leaving it sitting in a drawer for a few years as a ‘spare’ until it ends up not being worth any thing.
