Air Optix Colors, My NEW Fashion Accessory

So I started wearing contact lenses when I was still a kid. 

I begged my parents for contact lenses because my glasses were so thick they looked like coke bottles. (OK. Exaggerating just a little, but still.)

My eye doctor said that I could try them out at fourteen because that would be considered safe. My whole world opened up because I would no longer feel self conscious about my glasses and I could participate easily in sports.

However, my eyesight continued to worsen until I was about 25 years old. 

I was terribly near sighted, and couldn’t even see the clock across the room while I was in bed, if I didn’t have my eyeglasses on or my contact lenses in.

AS IN THAT NEAR SIGHTED.

And then I got LASIK Surgery. I remember the day clearly. Nino had to work with his dad and drive to Subic for a meeting, so his mom accompanied me to Megamall. We had talked about the surgery with Nino’s Tito for some time, and after considering all things, I decided to go for it. 

So I braved it. I had LASIK. And I’m glad I did.

But I really like the option of accessorizing with my eye color. (As long as it looks natural. And not freaky doll eyes.) I don’t think I could do that…

TRUTH: I never even considered wearing a different eye color until recently. Some of my new found friends enjoy wearing the different colored contacts and I think that I could definitely have some fun with this as an option. 

AIR OPTIX Colors and Fresh Look Contact Lenses have just made accessorizing even more fun and easier as we are approaching Christmas.  Both of these brands are designed to enhance dark or light eyes and bring out your own natural beauty. (I like the sound of that.)

From now until December 31st, 2016, you can purchase gift certificates for one pair of lenses at a discounted rate. All you have to do is visit any participating optical clinic that carries AIR OPTIX Colors and Fresh Look Contact Lenses. (You can have your eyes checked in case you need to adjust your grade too!)

Doc Glenda over at Perez Optical in ATC explained to me everything I needed to know.

Ok. So the GC’s are 25% off. That means that the FreshLook® will now only be @ 896.00/pair instead of P1195.00 and AIR OPTIX® COLORS will now only be 1121.00/pair instead of P1495.00.

Both of these brands use technology that will blend naturally with your own eye color and depending on whether or not you need to wear them for an extended amount a time or not can determine which brand would fit you more comfortably.

Now, I don’t need the corrective lenses. But they do come in different grades if you DO need corrective lenses. Win. Win.

Here’s the catch. Go get your GC’s at any one of the following places.

  1. Optical Works – Shoppesville Greenhills, SM SouthMall, SM North, SM Dasma, SM Bacoor, SM Pampanga
  2. Ideal Vision Center – SM North Edsa, SM Mall of Asia, SM Mega, SM Aura, SM Makati, SM Sta Mesa, Shoppesville Greenhills, Glorietta 3
  3. Sarabia Optical – Greenbelt, Glorietta, Alabang Town Center
  4. JP Sabater Optical – Pasig, Magnolia, Festival Mall
  5. Mojica Chavez Optical – Paranaque
  6. Almeda Optical – Glorietta 4
  7. Sarabia Optical – RockWell
  8. The Optical Shop – Trinoma, Gateway, AliMall
  9. Gold Heart Optical – E. Rodriguez
  10. The Eyepod – SM MegaMall
  11. Perez Optical – Harrison Plaza
  12. Magno Optical – Glorietta 1, Ayala Terraces Fairview, Sta Lucia, Robinsons Pioneer, Shangri-La Plaza, Trinoma
  13. Perez Optical – Glorietta 4, Alabang Town Center
  14. Vision Plus Optical – Masangkay Manila, UltiMart San Pablo
  15. Clarin Optical – Batangas City
  16. Eye Studio Optical – WalterMart Plaridel, E. Rodriguez, SM Sucat
  17. Soliman Paroli Optical – SM Clark, Nepo Mall

Then, make sure you redeem these GC’s by January 31st, 2017.

You can stockpile as many colors as you want!

Hmmm…I chose Hazel and Grey. What colors would you choose?

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
