5 Reasons to Know Your Limits

Cocktails with friends is one thing, but having too many and driving is another. Aside from heavy legal fines and criminal charges, there are other long-lasting effects of drinking and driving. It’s good to know your limit.

what is the legal blood alcohol level? All states have lowered the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit to .08. Most social drinkers don’t even feel any effects at this level. Any traffic stop resulting in DUI charges can lead to legal and personal ramifications.

Legal Penalties

Being charged with a DUI means legal trouble. You will probably lose your license for at least 30 days. You will have to go to court and might spend time in jail. If you’re a repeat offender, you can lose your right to bear arms or vote. Repeat offenders can lose their license for several years or for good.

Financial Loss

Most states require different vehicle insurance for DUI offenders. This is at least three times higher than the insurance for a safe driver. Expect to spend a lot each year for special, post-DUI insurance.
There are many fines associated with DUI charges. These include the breathalyzer and impound fees to license reinstatement and DUI school. Expect to spend at least $1500.
Attorney fees aren’t included above. These can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on your case.

Personal Loss

If you lose your license and aren’t allowed a hardship license, you could lose your job or you’ll have to commute to and from work. Even if you get a hardship license, you may only be able to drive to work and back. What about going to the store, relatives, church, or other social groups?
The hearings, meetings, and classes you must attend will take hours out of your free time and working hours. You may be reprimand at work and home.

Status Loss

You may lose your role at work or at home. If you drive for a living, you will probably lose your job or be demoted. Your family might react negatively. If this is a recurring offense, you may face divorce or separation from your spouse and family.

Emotional Strain

A basic DUI case is stressful enough. Time constraints, financial burdens, and license loss creates difficulties in your personal and professional life. The worry about your case outcome may overwhelm you.
Imagine if something terrible happened. What if you seriously hurt or killed another person? What if you were injured? The long-term effects would be devastating.
Drinking and driving is not safe. Avoiding these consequences is as easy as knowing your limit.

Vision, Fashion,Fun, the Firmoo Way

Watching The Avengers

Watching The Avengers with my Firmoo eyeglasses

Joining the million supporters of The Avengers is just one of my summer unforgettable list this year.  The movie was indeed beautiful and you would wish that  there is a sequel soon but one of the things I am happy about is my new eyeglasses.

I am very thankful for Firmoo  because i have a good reason to  finally get rid of my old eyeglasses   ( fyi, it was already old and broken) but i could not replace it that easy because it would take amount of money to buy one and it’s not on my priority list for now.

With the rise of purchasing eyeglasses online, many have been talking about the benefits and doubts over the idea.  Honestly, i have doubts too at first,  there are certain “if’s” on my lists and some of this if’s, are ;

  • what if it doesn’t fit my prescription?
  • what if it doesn’t suit my taste?
  • What if the company was a fraud?
and some ifs that a consumer would normally think when you haven’t got the chance to see the actual manufacturer but Firmoo’s slogan tells you everything: Vision and Fashion the Frugal Way.
Interesting isn’t it? Reading this article from Yahoo Finance about Firmoo makes the whole picture more believable.
 Most eyeglasses wearers have purchased eyeglasses at traditional eyeglass stores. Nevertheless, due to the limited styles and unaffordable prices, consumers have had to regard eyeglasses as a medical tool used to correct vision instead of a fashion accessory. But now, with the emergence of online eyeglass shopping, we can get fashionable eyeglasses at reasonable prices. Among the many online eyeglass stores, Firmoo, which combines fashion and economy, is undoubtedly the most outstanding one.

As we all know, we usually have to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of glasses at brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores. Yet, you can get the same pair of glasses from online eyeglass stores at a fraction of the price. For this reason, buying glasses online is, so to speak, quite an economical way to get eyeglasses. Among the numerous online optical stores, Firmoo is the most economic one. Customers can usually get their beloved glasses at a price that is up to 90% lower than that in brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores. Furthermore, new customers can even get their first pair for FREE there. Some people may doubt the quality, safety, durability, etc. of eyeglasses purchased online, but there is no need to worry when purchasing from Firmoo. Firstly, all glasses provided by Firmoo are carefully manufactured by skilled workers and are strictly inspected by professional opticians before shipment, thus ensuring the quality and safety of glasses; secondly, Firmoo has developed a try-on tool for customers to try their beloved eyeglasses on so as to see how they look on them; thirdly, Firmoo has a customer service team that has always been committed to offering their valued customers the best service; lastly, all glasses available at Firmoo are provided by their affiliated factory, which is why they can offer eyeglasses at such a low price.

“We have dozens of affiliated eyeglasses factories which enable us to provide our customers with the most affordable eyeglasses around because there are no middlemen in between. Meanwhile, we have devoted ourselves to providing our valued customers with fashionable and aesthetic eyeglasses,” said Patrick Li, Firmoo’s CEO.

Here’s a more better view of my new eyeglasses.

Firmoo eyeglasses

What I love about it?  No, it is not just because it’s free!  But the truth is, i love the style, when i first saw it on Firmoo Online Store, i told myself that it would be perfect.

Firmoo has many designs you can choose from,  rectangle frames, square, oval, round, aviator. There are also different materials that will suit your needs.  The only important thing that you need to remember is to have the right prescription of your eyes.  So, you need to see an optometrist to do that for you.

Getting a new pair of eyeglasses at a traditional eyeglasses store has an advantage of choosing, getting your eyeglasses at no time and you can return it at once when theirs a problem with the lenses but with Firmoo, you would never fear of not finding the right eyeglasses because there are many choices, the delivery of product upon purchase;

  •  depends on what lenses and shipping method you choose, namely the time includes the processing time and shipping time.  Processing In most cases, the processing may take 3-4 business days for normal single vision eyeglasses. Orders with tinted lenses may take 5-7 business days.

They also offer free eyeglasses for new buyers and free worldwide shipping when you buy 2 pairs or more and you can return  and refund your eyeglasses no questions asked if;

  •  Your eyeglasses arrive damaged. 2. they produce  eyeglasses not as per the prescription you entered when placing your order, or fit your lenses to the wrong glasses frame.
And the most important of all is the affordability. Even if you find a beautiful eyeglasses , it takes thousand of money to buy one and what would you do if your kid suddenly break it, then you will surely be in tears. (just like what happened when my daughter snatched my old eyeglasses and break the lenses )   Firmoo offers quality eyeglasses in a very affordable price and mind you, starting at $4.95, you can really enjoy sunshine and enjoy the beauty of life with your glasses.  It’s really Vision and Fashion in a frugal way!

So, what do you think? Does my new eyeglasses fits me? If you think it’s beautiful, i think it’s more than that, it’s fashion and comfort rolled into one.  If you think this ends here, wait for my Firmoo sunglasses review and i guess you would surely say that I’m definitely a  fan :)

Finding a Bigger Apartment for Your Growing Family

My dog and me

Is your family getting too big for that tiny apartment? Many people have a hard time finding a bigger apartment for their growing family. If you have three or more children, look for a small house or townhouse to rent since most apartments only offer three bedrooms.
Here are helpful tips for finding a bigger apartment for your growing family.

Plan in Advance
Planning to view the Lincoln apartments will make the process less stressful and time-consuming. Create a strict checklist for what you’re looking for in an apartment. Tenants looking for a bigger place will more than likely want a three-bedroom apartment, which could get costly.
Get creative when it comes to the design. This can make a small room look bigger. If the children are small enough, two can fit in one room depending on the size. Bunk beds can give extra space for dressers while making sure your children are comfortable. Another option is turning a loft into a bedroom if the child is a little older. While you won’t be able to add a door, you can put up a stylish curtain to offer privacy.

Budget Appropriately
Your family is growing, so there will be more costs, especially with your livign space. When searching through lincoln apartments, make sure that it’s big enough for your family and you’re getting a good deal on the place. Compare rentals. Take a look at what you’re getting for your money. That extra $100 for 200 more square feet could be very beneficial for your family. It might even be worth spending an extra $200 a month on rent on that has two bathrooms. Cross your criteria with your budget total and what you will get with each apartment and choose the one that offers the best amenities for the price.

Find Nearby Parks
With an apartment complex, there isn’t much room for children to play unless they’re toddlers. With a park nearby your Lincoln apartment, it could work in your favor. When the weather is gorgeous, everyone can enjoy the day outside. While the apartment is larger, but it’s might not exactly be large enough for children to have much fun playing in.
When it comes to finding a bigger apartment for your growing family, it’s important to think about what you need opposed to what you want. Make sure to have a wish list and your budget handy when looking at apartment. It will make the entire process easier on you.
