Do you wear eyeglasses? If so you know they can really be expensive. You might have seen some positive reports about ZenniOptical.com on Fox Newx TV, or heard about them on the radio. The popular U.S. talk radio host of the nationally syndicated consumer advocate program The Clark Howard Show, even recommended them.

ZenniOptical.com sells Stylish Prescription Glasses Online from $8. You will find huge selection of frames, with single vision lens, sunsensor (potochromic)lens, tinted sunglasses lens, bifocal lens and progressive lens. The Secret to Zenni’s Low Prices is that they sell only their own manufactured frames direct to the customer, with no middlemen and virtually no advertising budget.

If you are looking for new frames, check out ZenniOptical.com. They have a lot of frames to choose from like the ones below.

They use the latest modern materials, manufacturing and marketing systems and they ship directly from the factories to you. No retail overhead and almost no advertising budget. They leave it to their customers to tell their friends about how much they love ZenniOptical.com. There are no expensive brands, just the manufactured brand zenni. Eyeglasses are a personal fashion statement, so find a great pair that match your style!

Name what you think should be your first 5 priorities in life? Then order those priorities the way they actually are at present in your own life. Do they match up? Why or why not? If needed, what is one thing that you can do today that will help your two lists match up?

Should be:

1. God. Putting Him first, guarding my heart & mind, being a servant, having faith…
2. Family. Matt and kids. Loving, nurturing, providing needs.
3. Home. Keeping things clean & organized. Cooking healthy meals.
4. Others. Being a servant, willing to serve, focusing on others.
5. me. Blogging, shopping, etc.

I think in reality I am a little higher on the list than I should be. Sad but true. Why? Because I forget to remind myself of what my actual priorities are and the reasons behind them. I think step one to making sure my priorities line up with the way I live my life would be to look at the priority list daily. Probably first thing each day.
