New Specs...

-
Anyone out there who wears prescripton glasses knows oh too well the immense cost associated with them. Every two to three years you can end up spending close to $1000.00 on new glasses. My last pair set me back $900.00 and I was not looking forward to my upcoming trip to the optamologist.
But fate stepped in by way of my girl Malin who bought about ten pairs of glasses online at this site zennioptical.com. I mean she got her prescription in every shape and colour! Needless to say I was hyped..lol.....bargain is my middle name. Someone close to me often says that I can spend a fortune on bargains I don't even need...hahaha.
Well I hopped online and let me tell you. IF you are a LIBRA like I am and cannot make choices easily when presented with options, you are going to need some time to go through this site. The site itself is extremely easy to navigate and the prices are redonkulous. Seriously, frames start at USD $6.95!!! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR and GET OUT OF HERE!
I was overwhelmed when it came time to fill the prescription online but with a super helpful online chat support all I did was take a pic of my prescrip and attach it to the chat. The staff then sent me back exactly what i needed to enter in each field. TOO EASY!!!!
I finally settled on these keyhole, tortoiseshells from Zennioptical which included progressive and anti-scratch lens and only cost me a total of $158.41!!!!! 




How super cute is this case and cleaning cloth? .... my daughter wants to steal them, that's how cute they are!


I am loving them extra because of the price and now that I am confident of their fit and service I will also be ordering my reading glasses next week.
 Had to give you guys a sneak peak at my old glasses. They were originally bamboo frames by English Laundry but those broke after a few months and I ended up with these bland replacements for my $841.00. What madness. Well off I go singing "I can see clearly now,old frames are gone..."
You must check them out if you need glasses or even if you are lover of sunglasses.Oh and have a great weekend.

Looking for bush

What is it with this woman and bush, you may be wondering, but I love me some greenery! I love bush tea, I could eat bush rice everyday (seriously, I could), I study bush (herbology), I plant bush, I bathe with bush sometimes, a brother calls me Bushwoman as if it were my real name and I even call myself Wonderworld Bush for goodness sake! I am known to carry a camera and a plastic bag with me everywhere just in case the opportunity presents itself to take cuttings or at the very least to capture a pic of new plants for later research. My "condition" is so well known, that last summer I was asked by the Nuwaubian members of my community to accompany them on a walk to identify wild plants in our area. We walked for a good hour or so and it was quite amazing to note the many things I myself discovered for the first time. In fact I was so impressed that I wanted to see what I would unearth a little closer to home. I literally went on a ten minute walk around my house and wow

Bush Tea

All week I have found myself gathering herbs for bush tea. I grew up on bush teas! I don't know about you but growing up I hardly ever visited a doctor outside of vaccine schedules. Bush teas were our cleansers, healers, tonics, nourishment and much more. They were also a part of our culture. When we had colds we were instructed to pick cerasee, mosquito bush, soursop and pear (avocado) leafs. For stomach aches, we had ginger, bayleaf, aloes or sweet basil. Heads were wrapped in oil leafs (castor oil plant) for headaches or rubbed with coconut oil for head colds. We drank fitweed, flower fence, lemongrass and a host of other "cooling teas". With development, a lot of our local bushes are all but gone and very hard to find, so when I come across an old familiar bush I make a point of bringing cuttings or saplings home to transplant. Today I am so happy to have a few essential Bajan bushes in my yard.     Cerasee is definitely a must have bush despite its

Breadfruit ...... So Many Ways

-
Image
I have a confession to make. In 2005 when I returned to Barbados, I ate breadfruit every week! Well, to be perfectly honest I ate breadfruit multiple times a week. Yes, I was overdosing on breadfruit. Reason being it was so hard to get the real fresh deal in NYC. Breadfruits do not travel well! Eight years later, we still love breadfruit. Much to my delight they are easy to come by all year round and are absolutely free . EVERYBODY knows somebody who has a breadfruit tree. Breadfruit is so very versatile and easy to cook. SO, today I bring you all things breadfruit.
