First Pair #Free @Firmoo Classic Series & a #Giveaway

I had been sent product to review in exchange for this post, however, all opinions are my own. I did not receive any monetary compensation for the review of this product.

Remember, this post? The one where I showed you the free glasses that Firmoo sent to me for review? Yeah, that one. Well, bloggers aren't the only ones who can get "in" on the free pair of eye wear; you can too! The first time you make a purchase with Firmoo they'll give you a FREE pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses (yes, even prescription) for free. They'll cover the cost of the glasses and you pay the shipping which is unheard of as far as price points go! A friend of mine from church actually tried their first pair of glasses for free program after I did my review and she was as pleased as I was.


I still love my Firmoo glasses and I'm constantly receiving compliments on them whenever I'm out and about from complete strangers. Recently, Firmoo put together a series of their popular sellers for the past three years. The eye wear you find in this crowd are sure-fire, stand the test of fashion time and they have titled it the Classic Series. Dictionary.com defines the word classic as, "...the first or highest quality, class, or rank: a classic piece of work." After looking through the glasses that are part of this series I can see why they were chosen. What do you think?

Well, in an effort to bring attention to their Classic Series, Firmoo is hosting a giveaway for 6, that's right, 6 of you to receive a $20 e-voucher by entering the giveaway below! And get this, if there are 50 people that enter the giveaway then Firmoo will throw in a grand prize of winner's choice in one pair of glasses. Share the wealth with your friends and family; even if you don't win you have to really look into their First Pair Free program...do it! Sunglasses or eyeglasses, first time is on Firmoo, pay the shipping and voila! You're stylin' with a new pair of specs!

From Firmoo: "Firmoo is the World's Most Popular Online Eyeglasses Store. We have always been committed ourselves to offering customers the best quality products at the most affordable prices which start at 8 dollars- 80%-90% lower compared to that in local store.

Lost in space? Facebook News Feed and Google Reader help!

I've been on (the) Facebook since it was called The Facebook, you had to have a .edu email address to be accepted onto the social networking site and there was nothing called a News Feed. The increasing popularity of Facebook has brought about natural changes to the layout and algorithms (way that you interact with the site and how various people and pages will show up in your News Feed). I don't know about you but I sometimes feel like I'm missing half of the people I actually want to see in my News Feed and completely missing the pages that I really want to see.

Don't worry; there's another update on Facebook and this time it's a good one. We'll get to that in a minute though....The other thing I wanted to talk about was the loss of the subscription service Google Reader. If you aren't familiar with the app then it really won't be any kind of loss for you, however, if you relied on the Google Reader dashboard to see everything new from your favorite blogs (like FirstTimeMom, right? wink wink) you are really going to miss it. A few months ago I stumbled upon the site Bloglovin and let me tell you, it's ten times better than Google Reader. It's cleaner, sleeker and very easy to manage. Plus, there's an app for that, I mean it, on your iPhone and iPad (I don't own either but my brother-in-law is a major Apple fan). Bloglovin is also sent to your email inbox in a nicely organized email with blurbs and pictures of the new blog posts in your feed.

Let me preface what you're about to see with this disclaimer: I am not a brilliant tech person so these are the layman's instructions and explanations.

First things first, Facebook's new Page settings:

To create lists or to add to them simply click "Add to Interests" while you're still hovered over the
"like" button on a page.

Pretty easy, right? Yes. Next we have Bloglovin.

Make sense? Yeah, I was confused too but like I said you really cannot go wrong with a site like Bloglovin and as for Facebook? Well, they'll always be updating and upgrading their system. The trick? Don't get too attached and be willing to play around with things a bit.

Timoree's Thirty-One Gifts an Essential Motherhood Accessory

This is a little overdue since the giveaway's over, however, I really wanted to highlight one of my giveaway sponsors because she's pretty awesome and I think you'd agree. Timoree Zink is not only a mother of two (boys - can you say busy?!) but she's also a Thirty-One Gifts consultant and hairstylist. That's right, this mama of two loves to care for her children as well as others through helping them with their organizational skills and making them feel pretty with their hair. That's why when the Something Special for Mom giveaway event came up I knew I had to tell Timoree about it. Due to her generous spirit Timoree jumped on board; anything to make another mom feel special, right? Right.

I think you can tell a lot about a consultant by whether or not they are willing to give products away. Not many are because it costs them money but the handful that I have come across do it frequently and understand that the way to show people how awesome a product is is to be willing to give it away for free. That's why I purposefully choose to buy products from consultants that I've either reviewed products for or have seen their product reviewed by another blog. Timoree says, "I have got involved with selling 31 so that I can also incorporate it with the salon. As soon as the salon opens I will be taking all free and profit money to do giveaways. I also want to work with the FYCC (Family Youth Community Connections)... I would also like to work with the local shelters, donating bags and haircuts."

& Landon

What drives Timoree's generous outlook on life? Growing up Timoree did not have much in the means of material possessions; what Timoree was lacking in possessions she gained in love from her family. "I was...someone who had nothing and needed the help," Timoree explains, "Now that I am in a place that [I] can help I want to give back." What can you do to help Timoree help others? Simple. Visit her Facebook group and get to know her! The next time you need to buy a gift or want to splurge on a little something to help the organization in your home buy it from Timoree. 

My personal favorites from Thirty-One Gifts are these:

Large Utility Tote - This is essential for trips to Costco and Aldi!

Picnic Thermal Tote - I love this in the summertime when you're at the park, beach or on a jog with the jogging stroller. It's the perfect size to carry on your shoulder or fit in-between the seats of your car.

Do you have a favorite Thirty-One product or a product you'd love to try out? Let me know! Contact Timoree if you have any questions or would love to help her help others through Thirty-One!!
