The old man shows him a magically vivid memory of a fighter pilot, in the hopes of getting Benji to pay to see other memories Louis has collected from people over the years. Benji quickly realizes the ability to take memories could help his parents stop fighting with each other, and he asks Louis to teach him how to become a Memory Thief. But Louis isn’t the only person with the ability to show and manipulate memories. There’s also the mysterious Genevieve, a Memory Thief with much more nefarious motives.

How to Order Prescription Glasses Online

logo

I have been wearing glasses for more than half my life. I like my frames and the fun styles I can wear. The attitude and personality I can achieve from frames, along with the comfort I find in them, are why I choose to keep with frames over contacts. I wear them everyday from morning, noon to night. One things I have always wanted was a pair of prescription sunglasses. Being in my 30’s and with my style I just don’t feel like transitional lens are for me (they kind that automatically becomes tinted in bright lights). I have tried wearing oversize sunglasses over top of my prescription glasses and my husband hates it. He thinks I am being ridiculous. I thought I was being crafty… :-p So I have been grinning and bearing it….until now!

I found out about GlassesUSA.com recently and did some additional research. I know loads of people who buy their glasses online. I just never thought about doing it myself. But then I saw the amazing selection of frames – including brands like Ray-Bans, Oakley, Armani Exchange, DKNY and many more. This was a legit website with real brands and styles that appeal to me, the everyday mom. The website is laid out in a very easy to navigate manner. Allowing you to click between brands, styles, shapes and price points easily. However if you’re wanting peace of mind and don’t want to have to wait until your glasses come to see if they’re right for you, you can see if your health insurance policy covers optical correction and get your glasses made perfectly for YOU.

GlassesUSA has been making glasses for consumers since 2008. They feature a huge lab with state-of-the-art equipment to get us the highest quality glasses we desire. If customer service is something you consider in making purchases you will be pleased to hear that they respond to emails within 24 hours and phone calls within 10 seconds! They love their customers and know that without them they wouldn’t have a job! Making the customer happy is of utmost importance. Because of this attitude they really stand out in the online glasses community.

If you have Vision Insurance, they are on the ball with providers and how to work with them. Getting you the prices and coverage benefits from your plan. If you are not sure how to order glasses, they have Virtual Optician’s that can help you make the right choices on selecting your glasses.

Trying on the frames is the most fun part about shopping with GlassesUSA. You can take a photo with your webcam, upload a photo from your computer or even grab one from your Facebook! After you choose you picture you line up your eyes and save the image. You can them try on countless frames to see which look best on your face. I love being able to see what I will look like in a future pair of glasses. It makes the online shopping experience for satisfying, knowing that I will get a pair that really will look nice on my face.

Yorba Organics

logo
People are precious. What a beautiful and loving company motto. Yorba Organics is the organic skincare line you have been looking for. While many companies may be organic, they fall short in other sections, like green practices or not considering cruelty-free ingredients. Yorba Organics made sure to structure their entire company and development around creating products for adults and children without making any compromises.

They are certificated with the following: Organic Cosmetic, PETA cruelty-free and vegan, PhytoTrade Africa Accredited Partner, and USDA Organic.

yorba-organic-products

Some of my favorite things about Yorba Organics is that they harvest their ingredients in the wild! They are sustainable naturally and don’t require fertilizers or chemicals to regrow once harvested. Better for the earth and better for you. They search the globe high and low, in remote forests and jungles to find the right ingredients for their products. They will not settle for just any old ingredient. They do this to locate high concentrations of beneficial ingredients, and it has paid off.

Their key ingredients are: Aloe Vera, Bamboo, Baobab, Kalahari Melon, Kigelia, Mafura & Marula

This Mama’s Experience

yorba-full-set

I was able to try out their shampoo, conditioner, face wash, clay wash, moisturizer and body lotion. Here are my thoughts and tips based on my experience.

These are products are really, honest organic. They have a slight tan tint to most of them. At first I thought it had a low amount of foundation in the moisturizer because of the coloring. After talking to a company rep I was told that they do not use any additives to alter the natural colors. The color you see is the true color of the natural ingredients. Pretty cool, huh?! After using it for a while now I can say it will not effect the coloring of your face. It soaks in just like a true moisturizer should. The moisturizer goes way farther than I expected. Typically with organic products I feel like I have to use more to get the results I desire. With moisturizers in the past that are organic I take a nickel size to cover my face & decolletage. With Yorba Organics I was shocked my first time using it. I had squirted out way too much. It was rich, creamy and covered my face and neck with such a small quantity. This is a product that is really high in value based on it’s low price of $16.95.

The shampoo and conditioner is made with Marula Oil, “Marula Oil is renowned for its cleansing and refreshing properties. It also provides protection against free radicals and helps to repair the skin. Marula Oil has a pH very close to our skin pH so it is mild and gentle enough to be used on even the most sensitive of skins”Yorba’s Website

I loved how the shampoo gave a slight lather, soapy feel that is very hard to achieve in an organic product without SLS (sulfates). The conditioner had no lather or soapy feel, so I used more than I probably need. I like to really feel my hair coated with conditioner as if I am giving it a mask treatment with every use. Their conditioner does not achieve this, but I know that the thick feeling is not needed for it to truly moisturize my hair. The ingredients stand for themselves and you don’t need to use a higher volume to achieve the results you desire. I know this now by how my hair looks and feels after using their shampoo and conditioner set for a while now.

The Exfoliating Clay Wash is such a fun product. This body wash is a creamy scrub with a lovely natural clay color. It goes on smoothly and leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. This clay wash features Kalahari Melon Oil. “Kalahari Melon Oil has regenerative properties and helps to restructure skin cell walls. With high levels of essential fatty acids, it also leaves the skin supple and hydrated after use. Along with a high fatty acid content, Kalahari Melon is also rich in oils, protein, carbohydrates, minerals and nutrients that all act to reduce skin stress, hydrate and pH balance skin”Yorba’s Wesbite

Face cleansers can be tricky for me. I use eye makeup and often forget to use eye make remover before washing my face. Past organic face washes that I have tried never come close to taking off my eye makeup. With Yorba Organics I didn’t even consider it to take off my eye makeup, but it did! I mean some days there is some left, but as a whole I am shocked at how well it works. One of the key ingredients in Yorba’s face cleanser is Kigelia. “Kigelia is a clinically proven antibacterial and is known to aid in the natural treatment of very dry skin conditions and Eczema. It is packed with nutrients that aid in the repair of damaged or aging skin. Kigelia is also a highly effective anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredient”Yorba’s Website Being that I am now in my mid 30’s, taking care of my facial skin has a whole new meaning. I mean honestly I blew off caring about my skin until really recently. Knowing that I need to make this skin last and take care of it. I am only getting older and more wrinkles from here on out! LOL! Knowing this takes care of my aging skin really gives me a peace of mind. My friend couldn’t report the same levels of satisfaction so she decided to look into more permanent solutions from professionals at websites similar to thevictoriancosmeticinstitute.com.au. These products don’t work for everyone even if they are fantastic!

Yorba’s entire line is such high quality and it smells so natural and peaceful. You will instantly fall in love with these products and will come back to try out more products, I can assure you, you will be happy.

Cosatto Supa Dupa Double Stroller

cosatto-supa-dupa-review

If you have a hard time with double strollers (and I mean come on people, they can be such a pain in the butt) you have to look no further. I have discovered literally the coolest double stroller ever. It has features that will blow your mind. It’s gorgeous to look at and the Supa Dupa is supa cozy. It gives you the ease of smooth travel with the added bonus of support and strength for a full days worth of adventure. They really worked their magic when creating this new amazing piece of equipment.

It works like a folding umbrella stroller but has the structure & support of a full size stroller.

What makes Cosatto special is their formula for design and colors. They strive to make the most fun and colorful strollers you can buy. I know they are certainly the prettiest ones I have ever seen, and as a blogger I have seen a lot! Cosatto believes every newborn needs a brilliant fanfare of joy and color. Cosatto is now available through Amazon, Babies R Us, Nordstrom and a few other online retailers.

 

The Supa Dupa Double comes fully assembled. I honestly expected there would be a few things I would have to piece together, but nope, it’s fully ready to use out of the box. No screwdrivers required. If you want to put on the hood/sun guard, then yes, you would need to snap that in. Plus, the box it comes in can provide hours of entertainment for your toddler as an added bonus.

Features

There are so many features to this stunning stroller. I will highlight the most important here.

  • Easy to adjust straps. Whether you are putting a 4 month old or 4 year old in the Supa Dupa Double, you are able to adjust the straps and the headrest so that it is cozy and the perfect fit. With headhuggers and chest pads your child with my as cozy as they safe.
  • 3 cup holders. Say what? This stroller features 1 plastic cup holder that can be clipped on the left or right side of the stroller. It is removable so that if you want to switch sides it can be done with ease. As a super cool bonus you get 2 water bottle holders that are insulated to keep you bottles cold. Many oversize water bottles are unable to fit in a standard cup hold. This stroller has you covered mama, so keep hydrated and stay cool (and look cool too) with these bonus water bottle holders.
  • Full sized shade cover. Every other stroller I know has a standard hood to shade your child from the sun rays. But the Supa Dupa Double has extendable sunshades with a added bonus of UPF50+ protection. These shades almost reach down to the child’s knees. I was shocked at how far they really do extend. Oftentimes with past strollers my kids got angry that the sun was ‘still’ in their eyes. I have no fear with the extendable sunshade on this stroller. If you do not want it to fully extend, you can zip the extra extension closed for a clean look and the standard hood still available. It also easily comes off so that is it ever more slim and has less bulk for this quick trips.
  • iPad/Table Holder. Honestly, I depend on my kids iPads to get my through the day. I need them to be quiet so that I can shop, cook dinner, fold the laundry, watch the new episode of The Crown…you know the necessary things in life. When I go to the mall we bring them along to keep the kids quiet in the stores so I can get down to business. ‘Window-on-the-World’ hood display pockets are a clear plastic slot in the hood above the child that you can slip an iPad or tablet in. It lays above them so they can recline and take in their movie. You cannot really play a game or use the touch screen once it’s in the holder. This feature is best to be used when they are going to watch a movie and relax. Being positioned directly above their heads I also find it best to slightly or fully recline their seat. If your kids don’t use a tablet then this feature is great for flash cards or fave photos.
  • Speaker. The Supa Dupa’s multimedia gadget pocket with speaker. This speaker works iPods and similar devices, not with cell phones.
  • Reclining Seats. Most of the time I try to avoid taking my kids into a public restroom to change their diaper. Now, I can recline their Supa Dupa Double seat and change in them in the seat. This is super helpful for mom’s like me. Its also perfect for when they fall asleep or when they fall asleep in their car seat and you need to transfer them over the the stroller. There are 4 settings ranging from fully upright to practically laying down.
  • Raincover. I have never used a raincover before. I live in Ohio and we have the normal 4 seasons being a Midwestern state. I love having the option now. For those times when its pouring but you have to get to the grocery store. Stuck at the state fair and it starts to drizzle. If you live in a state with sporadic weather then this is your dream feature.
  • Cosy Toes. Blankets can be a disaster in the winter. Kids throw them. They fall off their laps and land in the snow or worse, the slush…eww… The Cosy Toes is the best wintertime feature. This muff-like addition can be placed on the seat under the child and their feet and legs can slide into the Cosy Toes. You can unzip the Cosy Toes to make going in and out that much easier for you. My children love how warm and cozy this feature is and they love that they both have their own! They don’t share the same Cosy Toes, but each seat has an individual one. This is such a sanity saver for the sibling quarrels that would have inevitably happened if they had to share. It easy goes on and off so when springtime rolls around you can take it off and save it for the next dip in the weather.
  • Triple handles. I love the feature of the 3rd handle on the Supa Dupa. This gives you more position options depending on how you are pushing. If you are needing to use only 1 hand, no problem. Need to maneuver through a department store – easy peasy. This puppy can turn so smoothly and without extra effort. The high quality materials used for its construction makes it easy for busy parents who don’t have time to deal with funky wheels that don’t want to go the right direction. This stroller is streamlined with easy and comfort.
  • Kickstand. All of my past strollers have just leaving against a garage wall when not in use. That or else my husband has installed hooks to the garage wall to get them off the floor and out of the way. With this Cosatto Supa Dupa Double stroller, there is a kickstand by the wheels which allow you to have your stroller stand upright without needing to lean up against anything. This is such a fabulous feature.

I am confident you will not find a stroller like a Cosotto. If you have been searching for a double stroller, you cannot go wrong with the Supa Dupa Douple by Cosatto. My stroller was the Pixelate print. It also comes in the Cuddle Monseter 2 print.
