NOT MY GRANDMA'S GLASSES!











I go to a Senior Center once a week to 
play Bingo.  I've made a few friends since 
I've been going there. Most of the seniors there no longer drive. The city offers transportation for them.  They must schedule a pick date and pay a small 
fee for their transportation. 

A lot of the ladies told me they stopped driving due to visual problems. I must 
admit I couldn't pass my driver's test a 
few years ago.  My old glasses did not 
help me see the small print.
I plan to get an eye exam before my
driver's license expire again.  I'm on 
the computer for long periods of time
daily. So, I doubt that my vision has improved!

I have a hard time choosing a nice pair 
of glasses. I don't want trendy glasses 
young people wear. But, I do not want 
granny glasses either!  First, I'll do my homework. I saw a TV show that said 
that the classic black rimmed glasses 
are trendy now.

I am studying charts which show the 
glasses you need for the shape of your 
face. 

Here are some charts like looked at:


I have a oval shaped face, so according
to this chart, I need rectangular frames.
Some other charts also suggested round,
butterfly, and aviator frames.


Here are a few glasses that I have on my wish list:

MY NEW LOOK, 2016!













I don't to reinvent myself. I just want 
a fresh age appropriate look for 2016. 
I feel that I let myself get into a rut 
last year.  I settled for the same old 
hairstyle and same old clothes. 

I don't want to go to a beauty salon 
often and don't want to buy a new wardrobe. I've seen ways to update 
your look without going broke on
TV and online.
 

I can splurge on a new haircut and 
color, sexy wig,and new make-up.



I did research online and YouTube. 
Here are some new hairstyles I'm considering:




                OMBRE/HIGHLIGHTS























(hairdo only-no jewelry on my forehead!)





  GREY WITH NICE HAIRCUT




















GREY CURLY WIG TO WEAR TO PARTIES

 









HOLIDAY BREAKFAST BREAD!

  My children are grown and I am retired. Therefore,  gourmet cooking is my new passion. I am a foodie who tries to cook some of the Mexican...
