The staff has been amazing and I’m excited to share an update on my CoolSculpting stomach results, and they’ve generously offered a reader giveaway, so keep reading for details!

Blue Light Filter Glasses for Adults and Kids!

by 46 Comments

I have dry, tired eyes! As someone who works on the computer often, among other devices, I have been struggling with dry eyes for the past year. After doing research, I learned that the blue light from devices like my phone, computer and tablet is most likely the cause. Don’t get me wrong, eye drops have made an improvement, but they didn’t get to the root of the problem, so I partnered with Felix Gray because I heard amazing things about their Blue Light Filter Glasses, and I am so glad I did!

Have you noticed that your eyes are dry, tired, or you often get headaches? These glasses may be just what you need too!

However, with the increase in online shopping and package delivery for my home business, I had to go beyond looking through the peephole. The Panasonic HomeHawk Wireless Home Monitoring System was the perfect solution for securing our front door and offering me peace of mind.
