glasses or lenses?

Do you wear glasses or contact lenses? Do you alternate between them? 

If you wear glasses and are thinking about whether to switch to contact lenses then it is important to weigh up both the pros and cons of doing so. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages and contact lenses are no different. Wearing contact lenses means that you not have the sensation of viewing the world through a screen. Plus other people are able to see your eyes whereas they appear hidden when you wear glasses.This is not designed to be a rant or set of complaints about eyeglasses. Glasses have been around for a long time and have proven to be an effective means of correcting faulty vision.

Cost
Eyeglasses are a one time purchase, while contacts are purchased in boxes that contain a supply that may last three or six months. Both types of vision correction aids are usually at least partially covered by the majority of vision insurance plans. There are nowadays lots of cheap contact lenses

Maintenance

Cleaning eyeglasses involves wiping the lenses with a soft cloth and lens cleaner a few times a week and takes less than a minute. Although daily disposable contact lenses are thrown away after one time use and require no maintenance, extended wear contacts and gas permeable contacts require more care.

Physical Appearance

Contacts allow you to keep your physical appearance unobstructed. Some varieties of contact lenses allow you to change the color of your iris while wearing them. Eyeglasses complement and draw attention to your facial features. Custom eyeglass frames allow you to accessorize and express your individual style.

Considerations

Although new technology has made some glasses more durable, all glasses can break. Disposable contact lenses can tear, while gas permeable lenses can break.

Benefits to Vision
Contacts provide unobstructed vision, while the frame of your glasses is always within your field of vision. Tinted eyeglass lenses offer protection from UV rays and make day driving easier. Contact lenses do not fog up during wet or cold weather.

Anyway the most important thing is that YOU have to be comfortable with it. 
In my case I do both because I like the variety!

    Parfume By Kilian - Love, don't be shy  via skins cosmetics / Bijenkorf

    Isn't this the most lovely parfume travel set? 
    Taking inspiration from the Marshmallow, this fragrance is a sweet treat for sensuous connoisseurs. Atfirst soft and tender, it unfolds into the intensity that graces truly great seductresses. 
    Top notes of glorious Neroli are like a shy, tentative kiss given by fresh lips. At the heart of the fragrance, Sambac Jasmine caresses skin warm with Rose and Iris, reaching ecstasy in the embrace of vanilla and musk.
    Kilian uses only the rarest and most expensive essential oils in each scent and, most importantly, all of Kilian's perfumes are refillable so the bottle you buy is the bottle you keep for your lifetime. 
    Nothing is meant to be thrown away!

    What to do if your hairdryer is not working anymore?


    Since I had my straightner from GHD hair which I got so comfortable with, I've deciced to buy the GHD air
    Blow drying is an essential part of a hair styling especially since I got shot hair (well short.. I mean a bob). 
    My hair is naturally fairly wavy and a little frizzy, so that's pretty much what it looks like. The ends are always flipping out, and there's a great deal of frizz. I don't bother blow drying because I wash my hair at night and then if I want to style it, I just do the iron in the morning. if I'm in a hurry, I just run the flat iron over the topmost layer of hair around my head for a reasonably smooth look. I also apply heat protectant product to my hair, paying special attention to the end
    I've found that flatironing the just blown-out sections is the key for me to get really straight, glossy hair. Using the iron by itself takes too long, and just blowing out didn't get my really coarse, wavy hair straight enough. Using the flat iron also prevents me from getting the "mushroom head" effect that blowing out with a round brush sometimes produces.

    GHD hair dryer made a world of difference, it's the ideal tool to help create a salon look at home professional.
    A hairdryer doesn’t just dry hair, it inspires it ;)

             Schmidt Zeevis   /    Address: Vasteland 60  3011 BM Rotterdam





    Say hello to the best FISH and Chips in town! The international top supplier Schmidt  Seafood of Rotterdam. Schmidt has always a large assortment of quality fresh fish from all seas. Not cheap, but the quality is the best! 


    The lekkerbek and kibbeling (dutch ‘fish and chips’) are heavenly, but beware: their servings are enormous! I suggest you share a plate with two or even three. I've also ordered the shrimp kroketten which were also yum! Another typically Dutch fast food thingy.
