Oh, hello!

Do you see anything different?? The glasses perhaps? Well, let me tell you about those. I’ve been experiencing a lot more migraines and headaches recently, along with eyes that are getting pretty tired by the end of the day. I thought there was nothing that I could do about it, and moved on. Especially since I have 20/20 vision (doctor confirmed!) and I have to work on a computer all day.

Enter Felix Gray. They have glasses that are just for the computer. They are non-prescription and they filter out the blue light that causes issues with sleep and eye strain, and headaches. I’m only on day two, but so far, so good. At $95 a pair, they certainly aren’t cheap, but they are nice. If you want, you can get them as reading glasses with magnification as well. They also now have prescription glasses, for those who need them.

In other news…

My trip home was fantastic! My mom and I went wedding dress shopping, (I haven’t found the one yet, but we are getting closer), we shopped, and I had a wonderful time at my old roomie’s wedding. I even got my first-ever blowout, and I got my makeup professionally done. I added a bit more to my eyes and lined them before the wedding since I felt a little naked! And, I got to hang out with all of my favorite Ocho alums, and current employees.

So I have been doing some things that future Melissa will thank current Melissa for. And geez, being an adult is annoying.

I get paid every two weeks, so twice a year, there are three paycheck months. March was one of those months. I did my best to basically bank that third paycheck, and I totally nailed it. I got paid again today and I was able to transfer $1000 into savings. GO ME!!! 

We’re meeting with the travel agent for our wedding tomorrow. We are trying to get everything figured out so that we can get people to start booking as soon as the time frame opens up. We are doing a destination wedding in the Maya Riviera in Mexico. This is basically all I have ever dreamed of when it comes to my wedding. (Actual wedding site at the resort we are going to!! I feel like I’m dreaming!!)

I paid off my credit card earlier this month. Now the goal is to keep a zero balance on it. I have an amazing credit score (800′s!) and I lost like 12 points when I bought my treadmill and got the 0% interest financing. Grrr.

I started taking collagen twice a day a few weeks ago. It may be the placebo effect, but my nails are longer and stronger, my hair doesn’t seem to be falling out as much as it usually did, and my skin is looking awesome! A friend was going on about how it was glowing at the wedding this weekend. She said I look like I’m her age (29!) and as a freshly minted 36-year-old, I will take it! 

I’ve also found a new eye cream that makes me feel like my faint eye wrinkles might be disappearing! If anyone even wants to know what brands I’ve bought and used, I will let you know, but for now, I will not assume that you care!

Alright friends, I’ve gotta get some things done. Have a great Friday eve!
