Life of Kimberly Edwards

I read a neat post today @: How to Deal with the Swear Jar

I found it from the “Dessert Course” of the Blog Carnival we’re hosting on BlogNButter.com:

Welcome to Dessert – “Soup to Nuts 3″ Progressive Dinner Blog Carnival

Basically, to make a long story shorter, a family is trying to figure out how to use the funds from the family “swear jar” that has accumulated a small fortune now…LOL…

While they were going to donate it to a charity they all agreed on, they wondered if this would be encouraging the swearing behavior as the giving feels good for this worthy cause…

Then, they outline a number of different options, which they wanted us to comment on, one of which even included giving the funds to an organization they don’t agree with, like the Nazi Movement…Yikes!

I actually left a lengthy comment afterward and thought it would be a great post for my readers here @ Through the Eyes of Kimberly Edwards!

Please let us know what you think they should or could do with the money…Any fabulous ideas?

Check out my opinion:

“Well, the root of the issue here is the desire to swear…Obviously, just giving up $1 or 50 cents is not enough of a punishment for the swearing in the first place.

Now, you are trying to find another reason not to swear after the first one didn’t do the trick, so to speak.

I certainly do not condone donating the money to an organization that you find questionable or that you do not support…That is just backwards humanity…

The idea to donate it to something worthwhile is great, or to someone in desperate need…(LOL…like the ExoticAnimalLover.com Animal Refuge Project…LOL)…

I, however, have always been a fan of sewing it back into your family, either your direct family or your extended family.

So many people send money all over the world (not that that’s not an amazing and selfless thing in itself and is necessary too), but we too often forget our brother or sister that’s struggling to Read more…

Featuring Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, Katie Holmes and Ted Danson, Mad Money is entertaining.

It’s about some ordinary financially struggling families and individuals that finally find a way to get ahead in life…by stealing money from a federal reserve bank…

The story is all about the planning, executing and situations that arise because of their crime…

We enjoyed this comedy, but got a little frustrated that the story line dragged along for a while…They could’ve cut out some of the “more of the same” in the middle…

Not for children or pre-teens for sure…it’s an adult movie, in our opinion.

We give it 3 1/4 stars…LOL…

Worth a watch…

This summer took a long time to get hot in Ontario this year, and what did I think is “Hot” right now?

Well, in Australia, they have these boots that they wear around the house, etc. called “Uggs”…some places they call them pugs…

I found some “boots” that truly resemble the “ugg” theme…They were not made of sheepskin, however, so they were much thinner and cooler…

So, wearing a cute sloganed t-shirt with a shorter skirt and the “pretend pugs”…That’s hot this summer! Complete it all with a shell necklace and you’re golden…

What a surfer-girl look…

Have you checked out my story on BlogNButter.com/mysteryshopping about how I had to pay a lot of money for my glasses, even though I performed a mystery shop that promised to pay 1/2 of the cost of the glasses?

Well, I did get some seriously stylish DKNY lenses, but I did have to pay over $200, after the “1/2″ the mystery shopping company reimbursed me.

Now, recently, I just found this website, ZenniOptical.com, where you can get Incredible Stylish New Frames From Zenni for so much less!

Seriously, you could go to this website and purchase a pair of glasses, or more than 1 pair, and almost not even bat an eyelash!

They actually have Zenni Optical $ 8 Rx Eyeglasses! Really cute stuff too!

My mother is actually ordering a few within the next few days, and I will certainly keep you up to date on how good this service is!

You are probably saying, “Yeah, right!” Really…they do have some of the most stylish frames out there now, just like the ones we looked at this past month at the eye doctor with my mother!

Well, I am one of the most cynical people out there and did my research…I found out that Zenni Optical was on FOX news!

There is no doubt in my mind that I will check out Zenni the next time I have to get glasses, or whenever I feel like spicing it up a bit, since they are so inexpensive! How fun!

I had to share this find with you so you can style-up your glasses wardrobe!

Okay, between everyone in our household, we’ve been doing quite a bit of traveling lately…

The luggage we’ve been using has either been destroyed, as it was obviously of poor quality, or we can use those oldies, but goodies in the basement that have been around since the 1970s…Funny, they don’t make things like they used to.

Those oldies may not be cute anymore, but they sure are durable, right?

Well, if you don’t want to bring out your dad’s old suitcase from “the good old days“, you’ll probably want to look at getting new luggage.

What’s New In Luggage?
Well, there are pieces that are of all different sizes, shapes, colors, patterns and textures. I thought I especially liked those hard-sided suitcases, but as I’ve been traveling and seeing them in baggage claim, I’ve seen a few that have been cracked or broken. Not cool!

Yes, many of the “beautiful” pieces, with patent leather looks, cool patterns and wild colors, are often just too flimsy. How will those suitcases look after you pick them up post-flight? Are they washable? Will the nicks and scuffs come off?

What Do I Suggest Then?
We recently went shopping for luggage for my mother’s trip to California. She, of course, wanted that patent leather/alligator pattern set, but no dice…Not durable enough, and the carry-on bags did not have wheels. That was a No-Go!

So, I suggest to get a luggage set that not only has wheels, for sure, but also has a durable material that it is covered with. We went with a pretty turquoise colored, semi-hard vinyl set that satisfied my mother’s style requirements, had wheels, and large zippers. It is very similar to this set here: CalPak Dimple Expandable Luggage Set

The vinyl is easy to clean with a wet wash cloth or a Magic Eraser.

Large zippers are also important because they Read more…

Wow…It never ceases to amaze me how many nail salons try to dupe their customers into thinking that the acrylic nails are actually gel nails…

This is a serious problem because not only are you getting charged for more expensive “solar gel” or “bio gel” nails, the acrylic nails are not good for your health, unlike the gel nails.

So, How Do You Know The Difference?

If the product applied to your nails is in any kind of powder form, that you witness, before being put on your nails, they are ACRYLIC! Don’t let them tell you otherwise…THEY ARE LYING!

If the product is not a gel right out of a container onto the brush onto your nails, it is solar gel or bio gel. They are called both names.

Also, if you don’t put your nails under a UV lamp after the product is applied to your nails, then they ARE NOT gel nails…They are acrylic!

Gel nails come in completely clear, with a slight pink tint, and in colors (more rare). The French tip is applied with a white gel!

What’s Better About Gel Nails?

They aren’t bad for your heath, often are made of organic ingredients, and look much more natural!

The Downside?

Acrylic nails are known to be slightly more durable and stronger than gel nails…

So, make sure you get what you want, and DON’T let them tell you otherwise!
