Fytoo Glasses: A Review

 The BEST Place to Buy Glasses Online

Fytoo.com

Once upon a time, a teenager got a bad grade in math, a subject she usually did well in. So her mother took her for an eye exam, and the teenager got her very first pair of prescription lenses. Within a decade, she had to wear glasses to drive. Then, when she was in her early thirties, she was in an accident that caused a head injury. That head injury zapped her balance, but miraculously knocked her vision back to near perfect, and for the next 20 or so years, she no longer needed prescription lenses. But as this woman aged, her eyes started getting worse. First, she found herself needing glasses to read. Then she started having issues seeing distances again. By the time she reached her mid-fifties, she was back to needing prescription lenses.

That person is me. I am the one who found herself needing to wear glasses again, after an over twenty year break.  I saw an optometrist, and that optometrist not only recommended glasses, but he told me I needed bifocals.  Prescription in hand, I started looking at glasses online.

I shopped every online outlet I could find, and I was horrified at how much prescription lenses cost these days. Bifocals were especially pricey. I literally spent weeks putting various frames into my cart, and most every outlet wanted about $300 for a pair of prescription bifocals. After two years of  pandemic-related financial hardship, I just did not have $300+ for a pair of glasses.

Then I discovered Fytoo.com.   And I was elated.

LifeLaurels' Preferred Vendor for All Things CBD

Rating: 5 Laurels

I am a Chronic Pain Person. I choose NOT to use opiates as a part of my pain management strategy. Opiates have a slew of negative side effects, especially after long-term use. I prefer more natural remedies to help me manage my pain. For me, CBD is an essential part of  pain management.

CBD is derived from Hemp, rather than marijuana. It is legal Federally, as well as in most States, thanks to the Hemp Farming Act of 2018.  The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Hemp Farming Bill) authorized the production of hemp and removed hemp and hemp seeds from the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) schedule of Controlled Substances.  Thus, it is legal in states where traditional weed is not. Additionally, hemp contains all of the pain management benefits of marijuana, and is available in varieties that do not cause any psychoactive side effects. There are also varieties that will give you the buzz.

When CBD first became widely available, I was excited to try it.  I experimented with various brands, and definitely found that some brands are more effective than others. I also found that prices varied widely, even for the exact same products. I continue to try new brands and new vendors, but I keep coming back to CBDMall. They carry the brands I like at the best prices I have found so far. Their Free Shipping threshold is low enough that I reach it without a problem when I place my monthly order. CBDMall also  runs sales very frequently, which helps me save even more.

Movie Review: Wonder

Wonder

A Movie Review

Rating: 4 Laurels

Wonder (2017): Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, and Jacob Tremblay star in an inspiring story of a loving family whose son, born with facial differences, enters a mainstream school for the first time.

While Wonder was on sale at Amazon Video, I decided to use up some of my no rush shipping credits and check it out. Not since The Florida Project have I been so compelled to recommend a movie.

Ostensibly, Wonder is the story of Auggie, a medically fragile child whose many surgeries have left him disfigured, much like Rocky in Mask. We meet Auggie as he is about to begin Middle School, venturing past the world of homeschooling for the first time. Children being children, Auggie immediately gets bullied by the "cool kids," but the quiet kids start seeing past his looks to what he is inside.

There is the imdb-type summary.  However, if you only see Wonder as a story of Auggie, you are missing half the point. This movie is not about Auggie trying to find his place in the outside world, but rather about how Auggie impacts everyone around him's life. Like Next to Normal, it really examines the effect of disability on the family structure, as well as everyone from the inner circle on out in his social network.
