I know a lot of people are touched in some way by disease and dementia, and everyone has to go through their own struggles, but one struggle that my sister and I have both had to deal with is taking care of a parent who was plagued with Alzheimer’s in their twilight years.

It’s something that just tears you up and eats you alive, especially for our family because we couldn’t afford treatment like so many other people out there. It’s scary, you’re totally alone in something like this and you can’t see a way out, and we weren’t even the ones afflicted, I can’t imagine how horrible it must be to have the disease.

If you’ve been touched by Alzheimer’s or know someone who has, or just feel strongly about finding a cure then please sign up for the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk as a team captain! Normally these walks are 2-3 miles and occur in the fall on a weekend morning and with the help of the Alzheimer’s Association you can help find a cure for this debilitating disease. Please do what you can, if you can’t walk then please spread the word and donate if possible!

I’ve talked before about how I need to be able to afford new eyeglasses, and how I’m skint broke and can barely afford to keep my domain name registered to keep my blog online here at Beautiful Sin, so this isn’t news to my regular visitors I’m sure, but I just got through reading up a glowing ZenniOptical.com recommendation from over at The Clark Howard Show and I really think they deserve praise like that from a consumer advocate show.

I mean, where else are you going to find such gorgeous glasses for such a low price? We’re talking an insane amount of stylish frames, you can get single vision lens, tinted sunglasses lense, even sunsensor and bifocals for as low as $8 and YES they are able to fill perscription orders for that price! I just adore their frames, the selection is amazing, plus they manucature their own frames so you get the lowest possible price every time because you’re not paying a middle man or extra for shipping, storage or wholesale prices that other glasses retailers pay, so you don’t get gouged on the price. My abolute favorite pair of glasses are pictured here, tell me those aren’t adorable? They’re so me!
