<p>Want to talk about stupid inventions? Then let&#8217;s talk about <strong>EYE JEWELRY!  </strong></p>
<p>Yes that&#8217;s right folks, you read right, jewelry for your EYES~!!! Can we say super yuck! I find it hard enough to touch the gelantinous part of my eye when I use to wear contacts, more so to have some stupid string with bedazzles hanging from my EYE!!</p>
<p>How is that beautiful? Or safe? <strong>The thought of going out with a string hanging out of my eye creeps me out to no end.</strong> Not to mention if something were to snag on it or pull it out?!! Arghhh!</p>
<p><strong>Plus even in the promotional video the model can&#8217;t stop tearing</strong>. She is literally crying the whole time, the whole thing seems very painful and irritating..</p>
<p><em> Am I wrong guys? Would you actually wear these? </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I was reading fellow Beauty bloggers posts and came across this picture of <strong>Chloe Sevigny</strong> sporting <a href="http://www.smarter.com/reading-glasses-accessories/pl--ch-39--ca-69.html" title="Discount Reading Glasses, Eyeglasses &amp; Accessories " target="_blank">eyeglasses</a> at a PUBLIC event! I actually recently got Lasik done but when I did wear contacts slash <a href="http://www.smarter.com/reading-glasses-accessories/pl--ch-39--ca-69.html" title="Discount Eyeglasses, Reading Glasses &amp; Accessories " target="_blank">eyeglasses</a> I never went to parties or public forums wearing my <a href="http://www.smarter.com/reading-glasses-accessories/pl--ch-39--ca-69.html" title="Discount Eyeglasses, Reading Glasses &amp; Accessories " target="_blank">eyeglasses</a>. <em>I think back on it and wonder why I never did?</em></p>
<p>I am by all means a fairly confident chick, yet I would not even let people I was dating see me in my glasses, hell some of my closest friends have yet to see me in <a href="http://www.smarter.com/reading-glasses-accessories/pl--ch-39--ca-69.html" title="Discount Eyeglasses, Reading Glasses &amp; Accessories " target="_blank">eyeglasses</a>. Well just so you know my prescription was out of control, even when I would purchase the super condensed lenses, when viewed from an angle you could still see the compacted levels of blindness. I think if I had a slight prescription I would have definitely sported my <a href="http://www.smarter.com/reading-glasses-accessories/pl--ch-39--ca-69.html" title="Discount Eyeglasses, Reading Glasses &amp; Accessories " target="_blank">eyeglasses</a> in public. <em>That&#8217;s my story and I am sticking to it! </em></p>
<p><strong>That said here are a few gorgeous celebs who aren&#8217;t afraid to rock out with their eyeglasses out!</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/glasses%20on%20chloe%20sevigny.jpg" alt="Chloe Sevigny Eyeglasses " /></p>
<p><strong>Quirky Chloe Sevigny</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/amanda%20peet%20glasses.jpg" alt="Amanda Peet Eyeglasses " height="445" width="271" /></p>
<p><strong>Adorable Amanda Peet</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/cate%20blanchett.jpg" alt="Cate Blanchette Eyeglasses " height="445" width="297" /></p>
<p><strong>The Incomparable Cate Blanchett</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/jennifer%20garner%20glasses.jpg" alt="Jennifer Garner Eyeglasses " height="445" width="300" /></p>
<p><strong> Mrs. Ben Affleck - Jennifer Garner </strong></p>
<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/kirsten%20dunst%20glasses.jpg" alt="Kirsten Dunst Eyeglasses " height="445" width="172" /></p>
<p><strong>Kirsten Dunst bugs me, she reeks of self-love&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/lindsay%20lohan%20glasses.jpg" alt="Lindsay Lohan Eyeglasses " height="445" width="296" /></p>
<p><strong>Wow! She actually looks STD free with a pair of eyeglasses on, Ha! </strong><strong>Ms. Lindsay Lohan  </strong>&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/sharon%20stone%20glasses.jpg" alt="Sharon Stone Eyeglasses " height="445" width="297" /></p>
<p><strong>Sharon Stone - gotta say I prefer when she dresses her age! Plus eyeglasses is a great way to conceal wrinkles and dark circles, not that she has many&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Moral of the Story Girls -</strong></p>
<p>Learn from other women&#8217;s mistakes and be brave enough to show the world your gorgeous bespectacled selves.  If I had it to do over I would have worn my <strong>Buddy Holly</strong> specs out much more than I did! <img src='http://blogs.smarter.com/beauty/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/buddy%20holly%20glasses.jpg" alt="Buddy Holly Eyeglasses " height="300" width="302" /></p>
<p><em>I still think these are the hottest eyeglasses out there!  </em></p>

<p>Yesssss!! <strong>I just received the much talked about Stimulus Tax Refund, and I feel it is my civic duty to boost the economy and spend every last cent</strong>. Sure, I could use the money to pay off a nice chunk of a credit card or do the responsible thing and stick it in my dwindling savings account but you and I both know that I shall re-circulate that six hundred dollars back into our American economy.<strong>So let&#8217;s get to the crux of the matter, what to spend it on?</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/korean%20massage.jpg" alt="Korean Massage Sign " height="326" width="435" /></p>
<p><strong>1. Korean Spas &amp; Massages</strong></p>
<p>Well I was recently introduced to the hidden realm of the Korean spas by my friend Kyung. Once you get over the blatant nudity and hard core &#8220;full body loofah&#8221; scrub it&#8217;s actually an awesome deal and every time I leave my whole body feels like butter.  I recommend the:<a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/olympic-spa-los-angeles#hrid:RV6MGVtD9aaoTcQfmaLDQw/query:korean%20massage" title="Korean Massages - Olympic Spa - Yelp Reviews " target="_blank"> Olympic Spa in Los Angeles </a> Read reviews on Yelp so you are prepared for the &#8220;culture shock&#8221; but it&#8217;s a definite &#8220;must do&#8221; if you have never gone.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/gold%20makeup.jpg" alt="Gold Makeup - Cosmetics and Makeup" height="300" width="250" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.smarter.com/cosmetics-makeup/pl--ch-39--ca-486.html" title="Discount Cosmetics &amp; Makeup - Smarter.com" target="_blank"><strong>2. Cosmetics &amp; Makeup</strong></a></p>
<p>I have been wanting to buy a<a href="http://www.smarter.com/cosmetics-makeup/pl--ch-39--ca-486--iq-gold%2Beyeshadow.html" title="Gold Eyeshadow in Discount Cosmetics " target="_blank"> gold eyeshadow</a> of some sort. Not sure what brand yet, but <a href="http://www.smarter.com/cosmetics-makeup/pl--ch-39--ca-486--iq-gold%2Beyeshadow.html" title="Gold Eyeshadow in Discount Cosmetics " target="_blank">gold eyeshadow.</a> <em>Anyone have any recommendations?</em></p>
<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/dita%20sunglasses.jpg" alt="Dita Sunglasses - ShopBop.com " height="396" width="201" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.smarter.com/vision-care/pl--ch-39--ca-545--iq-sunglasses.html" title="Sunglasses in Vision Care - Health &amp; Beauty"><strong>3. Sunglasses in Vision Care  </strong></a></p>
<p>I have been browsing this pair of <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/xanadu-sunglasses-dita/vp/v=1/845524441801026.htm?folderID=2534374302049010&amp;fm=browse-brand-shopbysize" title="Dita Sunglasses - Xanadu Sunglasses at Shopbop.com" target="_blank">Dita Sunglasses called &#8220;Xanadu&#8221;</a> from<a href="http://www.smarter.com/womens-clothing/shopbop/pl--ch-30--ca-112--mi-4930.html" title="Shopbop.com Fashion, Sunglasses, Handbags &amp; More" target="_blank"> ShopBop.com.</a>  I like the style and color, I like over sized frames and colors that are not common. These sunglasses cost $350.00! For that price I hope they instantly transform me into this model, but I have to admit designer sunglasses is my shopping weakness.</p>
<p><em><strong>So far that&#8217;s what I plan on spending my Tax Refund on &#8230; what are you going to buy with your six hundred dollars? </strong></em></p>
