Blue Blocker Eyeglasses For Eye Strain - Zinff Review

I love my new blue-blocker eyeglasses! With so much time spent on the computer, my eyes were really taking a beating. It's said that the blue light from our computer can cause strain after extended use. This is my first time owning a pair of blue blockers. I chose Zinff brand. I feel like I'm doing something to protect my eyes. You know, you only get two! 

Have you tried blue light blocker eyeglasses? The Zinff model I chose is Alvin Square Black Eyeglasses. They're great! They are lightweight and make me look so studious! I believe they really make a difference in how my eyes react to daily extended screen time. The exclusive coupon code is Caron30 (20% off lens, 50% off frame). If you try them, please let me know.

Under Sink Organization - Dollar Tree Hack

Dollar Tree is the perfect spot for getting everything you need to tackle that storage space under the kitchen sink. Stock up on plastic containers in various colors and sizes. These are excellent for corralling your various containers of cleaners, disinfectants, brushes and all those products you usually hoard under the sink.  I like the white containers because they're neutral and have a crisp look and work with any decor. 

Don't forget contact paper! You'll need this to line the base of your under sink area. Again, Dollar Tree has several designs.

While you're at it, pick up a few scrub brushes. Why not?  This won't break the bank. 

Dollar Tree even has those little adhesive hooks (like @Command Strips). These are great for hanging scrub brushes or rubber gloves on the inside of the cabinet or on the cabinet door. 

Complete your entire project for less than $10 using Dollar Tree products. Here's a shopping list:

• 4 Storage bins       $4.00
• Contact paper        $1.00
• Scrub brush           $1.00
• Rubber gloves       $1.00
• Adhesive hooks     $1.00

I'm all good now that I've straightened out my space! Was this helpful? Let me know!

Active "Plus 60" Women's Fashion on a Budget

 Thrifting is my passion! I have a conservative style, so I gravitate toward fashion that is comfortable and modest. Recently, I found several pre-loved @Talbots blouses that I absolutely love! 

Each blouse can be worn with jeans, a blazer, tucked or tied.

A friend of mine said she wasn't fond of one of them, but I'm trying to win her over by styling it with pearls. How can she not like anything when adorned with a string of pearls? 

Anyway, these blouses, in my opinion, are perfect for the active "Plus 60" woman.

Denim Jacket Fashion On a Budget - Walmart Review

Want to up your denim jacket game and not break the budget? Try Walmart! Yes, Walmart! Their Time and Tru Women's line has a new denim jacket that comes in Black Wash (what I'm wearing), Dark Wash, Medium Wash, and Sandstone Pink Wash to name a few. Cost $19.98 and runs in sizes XS to XXXL. Can you believe that? 

The jacket has slit side pockets and flap pockets on the chest. It has a little stretch to it and I love it! I found mine in-store, but you can also find them at walmart.com. Would you wear this jacket? Drop me a line and let me know.

How to Install a Peel and Stick Tile Backsplash - Tic Tac Tiles

Your girl installed a whole peel and stick tile backsplash! I bought a townhouse back in 2004. It was a new build with mostly builder-grade amenities. Over the years I have painted a few rooms, but there are large sections of the house that remain untouched. You know that flat white paint that the builders use that catches every scuff? Well, I still have it.

So, I've decided to do a few upgrades, starting by adding a much needed kitchen backsplash. I decided to try peel and stick tiles. There are so many styles out there. Cost and ease of installation were important to me since I would be doing this project on my own. Another thing, this townhouse is not my primary residence and I really didn't want to make a huge investment at this time.

After searching the internet, I selected Tic Tac Tiles and they graciously sent me five samples from their peel and stick collection. I had a tough decision to make! I polled my social media followers for feedback on which way I should go. The response was overwhelmingly positive! I chose the Metallic Marble White peel and stick tile. Great decision!

So how did I do?

Tips - Things You Must Consider

1. Clean your walls thoroughly with a degreaser. If you have stuck-on grease spots, use a steel wool pad or something similar to scrape off the gunk. A clean surface is a must in order to get maximum adhesion!
2. Use the proper tools. Scissors, level, ruler or measuring tape and a pencil are about all you will need to install vinyl peel and stick. For more durable peel and stick tile like Metallic Marble White tiles, I would recommend a utility knife instead of scissors. 
3. Before applying a sheet of tile to the wall, peel the paper backing half way. This will give you a little more control so the entire sheet of tile doesn't adhere to the wall before you have it properly lined up. It's really sticky! Slowly peel back the rest of paper covering as you adhere the tile to the wall. In the case of Metallic Marble White, one end of the sheet of tile simply interlocks and snaps into place. 

The Hard Part - Cutting Around Outlets

If you're working with vinyl tile, cutting around outlet covers should be pretty easy. Because the Metallic Marble White tiles is much thicker than vinyl, I used my utility knife to score the area that I wanted to cut. Then I used wire cutters to nip away at the tile until I had the results I needed.

The Good Part - No Grouting

I love my tile backsplash!  And the best part is, I did it myself! With Metallic Marble White peel and stick tiles, you get the look of real stone tile, without the hassle of grouting. I don't mind that at all!

Miral Studio Lipstick and Nails Review

I don't usually write about glamour or beauty. There are more than enough influencers on social media to take care of that. But when a company reached out to me with an offer to try their lipstick and press-on nails, I figured, why not?  I mean, I wear make-up. I like make-up. I've been wearing make-up for over 50 years. 

That company is Miral Studio. I tried their 2-in-1 Matte Lipstick  and Liquid Lipstick as well as their Reusable False Nails. The nails were quite nice. Each set of nails comes with a separate sheet of little adhesive pads. I tried on a set of Short Solid Color Matte Black. So cute and unobtrusive!

I also sampled their RGLL 10 liquid lipstick. What an awesome red! The liquid formula glided on with absolutely amazing coverage! No bleeding. And get this. It lasted for hours! Definitely a keeper. 

Their nude lip coverage, RGLL08, is also a luscious color, which on me appears to be a mixture of tan and orange. I like it!  It's hard to find a good nude lippy, especially for women of color. 

So will I start doing more beauty content? Who knows? But I did have fun trying on these products!
