Chic Couture-Firmoo Review

*This is a sponsored post.  Firmoo did supply me with a pair of glasses to review. 

All opinions are mine.*

Surely I'm not the only one who likes having an eyeglass accessory arsenal? Since I've got too dry of eyes for contacts I'm having fun with having a few choices of frames to accessorize with! And Firmoo is a great place to get a variety of fashionable frames.  I went with a fun burgundy/pink frame this time, a new color scheme for me!  Well wait.....

.....after switching to my Firmoo Sunnies to pick Lil' Hunkie up from school, I realized I picked out the exact frame to wear everyday without knowing it!! Ha! This frame is just made for me!

I realize buying frames online may be a little intimidating but honestly Firmoo is great about walking you through the process.

Firmoo updates their selections in their 'Daily New' section everyday so us gals who do use glasses to accessorize can make sure we're being trendy! And they offer 15% off  your first pair of any frame for all new customers! Which totally helps taking the buying online plunge!

My shopping experience has been great, you should try it out!

Let me know if ya do!!

Happy Thursday lovelies!!

(Ps. I used Snapseed and Candy Camera apps to edit/filter my pics....the first pic the filter is called 'peach punch'....loved how it was different!! And tried to stay general with the last two so you could see the frame color.  Loving the frames!!)

August...aka...as my birthday month is here, oh my!! I think I've said it before...once August hits it's pretty much downhill to the New Year!

Week 1 : red, white, and blue..........pic 1 Let Freedom Ring! Used some new in July packs in the Rhonna Desgins app to make a 4th of July Insta.

pic 2  Made some good ole' no bakes for our 4th celebration...they are a go-to for me!

Week 2 : travel........... pic 1 Day one on the beach!

pic 2 Day two...took a 'sunrise walk' and it was perfect!

Week 3 : snack...... Sweet Tart ropes....a new fav candy!

Week 4 : family....... #throwbackthursday to a sister beach selfie!

Week 5 : time....... #throwbackthursday to missing some beach time!
