When I was in ninth grade, I found out I had to wear glasses all the time. I was so upset—I thought I looked awful in glasses. I
begged my mom to get contacts, and I am sure she agreed just so I would stop whining.
That same day, I was showing my new contacts to my best friend…and she accidentally dropped one down the drain. I wanted to avoid wearing glasses so badly that I wouldn’t leave Mom alone until she got me another pair from the eye doctor.
Over the years, I avoided wearing glasses as much as possible. Part of it was definitely because I had the same pair of glasses I bought in sixth grade (I never got the prescription for them in ninth grade due to the contact fiasco) all the way through college, but mostly I just thought I looked terrible in glasses.
This year, my allergies were so terrible that putting in contacts in the morning felt like stabbing myself with needles. I settled for wearing glasses to work…and surprisingly received a lot of compliments. As I grew used to seeing myself in glasses, I didn’t feel like an ugly duckling every time I wore them.
When
Firmoo contacted me about reviewing a pair of glasses, I was excited but also a bit concerned about ordering glasses online. I have always gone to a store to get glasses fitted, so I wasn't sure how this could be done online. Honestly, the process was so quick and easy! I just picked a pair of glasses (so hard to do because there were so many cute options), plugged in my prescription, measured my pupillary distance, and I was finished! I loved that I could upload a photo of myself to see what the glasses would look like on me.
The glasses came quickly, and I was so surprised by how nice the quality was, especially compared to the price. They came in a nice case with a cute pink lens cloth. The best thing is that
I actually like how they look on me.
Firmoo is
currently offering 15 percent off your first pair for new customers, which makes its cheap prices even better.
I am already looking at other styles, since it never hurts to have a spare pair!
I received a pair of Firmoo glasses in exchange for this review, but all opinions are my own.
