The economic depression of America makes most of the people worried about the economic state of their own families. It is probably because most of them are in charge of the finance of the family, women concern more about the economic crises. Paying the bills, unemployment, how to bring up their children and saving money for the retirement are some of the problems they are worrying about.
It is believed that under the economic crises, obviously, women have more anxieties than men. Since people’s worry about the economic crisis is deeper and deeper in the extent, we can certainly condemn that, the women, who seem naïve and optimistic in the life, are the most painful people under the economic crisis.
3517 Americans above 18 are interviewed by telephone in an investigation. The investigation shows that 3/10 females are worried about the economic crisis, but only 1/5 of the males have the same feeling. What’s more, 2/3 females are afraid of not having enough money when they are old, but only half of the males have that kind of anxiety.
These are probably because compared with the males; the females are inferior in the working conditions, the economic basis and the education background. The females are easily having a sense of insecurity in their minds.
So, how can our females survive in the economic crises or even live a better life? This have been the questions concerned and chatted between the most intimate friends and the stranger net friends.
In view of what I read and talked with my friends, I found the ways below maybe effective to save our money.
Make yourself consider twice before you buy anything, improve your way of shopping and try to make it reasonable.
There are many ways of shopping other than going to the shopping malls. There maybe some discounts, but there are always more or less profits for the sellers and they are no doubts from you.
So, if you want to buy something, make yourself have above 3 reasons to buy it. If you have any other place to buy it in a lower price, don’t be lazy.
More and more fashion girls buy clothes, decorations, books or even glasses on the Internet because you can see how cheap they are. Do you still have no idea that glasses can be bought on net? www.glassesshop.com You can try from this on.
Logout your credit card, or go out only with your deposit book but not your card.It is effective for someone crazy on shopping.
Change the habit of having dinners out into making some cooking at home.
No matter how cheap a restaurant is, you have to spend much than cooking yourself. So why don’t you eat at home? On the other hand, it will be good for your diet as well.
Keep an account.
It will remind you of what you have bought and how much money have you wasted on the useless things. It will help you to make better use of your money.
5. Save the energy source = save your money
Remember to turn off the lights when you leave and remember to turn off the water tap. It is good to our environment, as well as your family.

My glasses have been serving me for more than 2 years. As I am not very used to cherish things, the lens has been colored fiercely and the legs have become more and more loosely. And now I almost cannot bow while wearing glasses because it will fall from the face. Every time wear it, I must pay special attention not to bow. Although it can show my elegance when raising neck, I felt so tired to be so. So that I decided to match myself a new pair of glasses with my low income and seek glasses shop.
The shop which I haven’t paid attention to before was quite clean and tidy and the wide store left me an impression of containing everything. However the more graceful it is, the less possibility I could afford to consume in such a place. Anyway I went into the store bravely with sort of upset I scanned each frame showcase carefully and the prices made me feel that I’m indeed lack of money. So I came out of the store with guilt to the sellers.
However, as many of my friends are so crazy for shopping online that I decide to have a try to buy myself a pair of glasses on the internet. There are many advantages to shop on line, such as lower prices and much more convenience to just have a click and then everything is ok.
At first, I communicated with the seller online and his service was quite good and complete. He asked me to go to real glasses shops or hospitals to examine my eyes and then turn to the internet to buy glasses frames and lens. Considering that I have to work with computer for a long time and the price is really low, the seller recommended me the anti-radioactivity lens, which cost me only $19.8. As to the glasses frames, the seller gave me two choices and said that I could make up my mind after receiving and trying the two kinds of frames. I bought the Richard titanium frame eventually, totally $32.8. I’m very satisfied with the glasses and its good service.
This very first time of shopping online has left me not only a pair of perfect glasses, but also some experiences. And I concluded several points to which online buyers should pay attention.
First: professionalism. Although buyers cannot get their eyes examined directly, whether the seller is professional or not is quite critic because they can give useful suggestions to buyers if the seller is professional.
Second: honesty. Consumers should choose an honest online seller, which is of vital importance to purchase a pair of good glasses.
Maybe I am lucky or I’ve made enough preparations before purchasing, it is a successful experience of shopping online generally.

Tinted Lenses
Tinted lenses have been bathed in tint colours and can assume just about any colour shade or colour density. The tinted lens actually absorbs the tint colour into the lens material. Tint density is defined as a percentage, where 0% is completely clear, and 100% permits no light to pass through (solid). A 10% to 20% tint is used for a “fashion” tint, and a 50% to 80% tint is used for outdoor protection from the sun.
UV protection filters out the sun’s ultraviolet rays that are very damaging to the eyes. An extra coating is required for hard resin lenses. However, all polycarbonate, high index, and sun-sensitive lenses already include UV protection due to the characteristics of the lens
Unfortunately, many sunglasses sold by street vendors to not comply with UK Law. Using a tinted lens without UV protection can be extremely dangerous. Lens tint has the effect of increasing the wearer’s pupil size and admitting more ultraviolet light to the intraocular lens, which can cause premature cataracts and/or permanent damage to your eyes.
Tinting
The colour of the tint determines the parts of the light spectrum that are absorbed by the lenses. Manufacturers use different colours to produce specific results.
Gray tints are great all-purpose tints that reduce the overall amount of brightness with the least amount of colour distortion. Gray lenses offer good protection against glare, making them a good choice for driving and general use.
Yellow or gold tints reduce the amount of blue light while allowing a larger percentage of other frequencies through. Since blue light tends to bounce and scatter off a lot of things, it can create a kind of glare known as blue haze. The yellow tint virtually eliminates the blue part of the spectrum and has the effect of making everything bright and sharp. That’s why snow glasses are usually yellow. This tint really distorts colour perception, which makes it inappropriate for any activity that relies on accurate colour.
Amber and brownish tints are also good general purpose tints. They have the added benefit of reducing glare and have molecules that absorb higher frequency colours, such as blue, in addition to UV rays.. These sunglasses also distort colours similar to yellow lenses, but increase contrast and clarity.
Green tints on lenses filter some blue light and reduce glare. Because green tints offer the highest contrast and greatest visual acuity of any tint, they are very popular.
Purple and rose tints offer the best contrast of objects against a green or blue background. They make a good choice for hunting, target sports and water skiing.
Many manufacturers employ a process called constant density to tint the lenses. It is the oldest method of creating sunglasses and involves a glass or polycarbonate mixture with a uniform colour throughout the material. The tint is built right into the lenses when they are created.
Tinting can also be accomplished by applying a coat of light-absorbing molecules to the surface of clear polycarbonate. The most common method for tinting polycarbonate lenses is to immerse the lenses in a special liquid containing the tinting material. The tint is slowly absorbed into the plastic. To make a darker tint, the lenses are simply left in the liquid longer

Which Eyeglass FramesWould Look Best on You?
By Erinn Morgan http://www.glassesshop.com
For many of us, the most important aspect of choosing eyeglass frames is how they look on our face. You could try on every pair of eyeglasses in the store to find out how each one looks, but narrowing down your choices in advance can save you a lot of time and aggravation. To do so, you simply need to determine your face shape and coloring, and understand which eyeglass frame styles and colors would look best on you.
Matching Eyeglass Frames to Face Shapes
You should consider three main points when choosing an eyeglass frame for your face shape, according to Vision Council of America (VCA):
Eyewear should repeat your personal best feature (such as a blue frame to match blue eyes).
The frame shape should contrast with the face shape.
The frame size should be in scale with the face size.
Also, while most faces are a combination of shapes and angles, there are seven basic face shapes: round, oval, oblong, base-down triangle, base-up triangle, diamond and square. Here is a further description of these face shapes and which types of frames work for each (information comes from VCA). A good optician can help you use these guidelines to choose your new eyeglasses.
Round

A round face has curvilinear lines with the width and length in the same proportions and no angles. To make the face appear thinner and longer, try angular narrow eyeglass frames to lengthen the face, a clear bridge that widens the eyes and frames that are wider than they are deep, such as a rectangular shape.
Oval

The oval face is considered to be the ideal shape because of its balanced proportions. To keep the oval’s natural balance, look for eyeglass frames that are as wide as (or wider than) the broadest part of the face, or walnut-shaped frames that are not too deep or too narrow.
Oblong

The oblong face is longer than it is wide and has a long straight cheek line and sometimes a longish nose. To make the face appear shorter and more balanced, try frames that have a top-to-bottom depth, decorative or contrasting temples that add width to the face or a low bridge to shorten the nose.
Base-Down Triangle

The triangular face has a narrow forehead that widens at the cheek and chin areas. To add width and emphasize the narrow upper third of the face, try frames that are heavily accented with color and detailing on the top half or cat-eye shapes.
Base-Up Triangle

This face has a very wide top third and small bottom third. To minimize the width of the top of the face, try frames that are wider at the bottom, very light colors and materials, and rimless frame styles (which have a light, airy effect because the lenses are simply held in place to the temples by a few screws).
Diamond

Diamond-shaped faces are narrow at the eye line and jawline, and cheekbones are often high and dramatic. This is the rarest face shape. To highlight the eyes and bring out the cheekbones, try frames that have detailing or distinctive brow lines, or try rimless frames or oval and cat-eye shapes.
Square

A square face has a strong jaw line and a broad forehead, plus the width and length are in the same proportions. To make the square face look longer and soften the angles, try narrow frame styles, frames that have more width than depth and narrow ovals.
Color Analysis
VCA’s three keys to color analysis are that …
All people have either a cool (blue-based) or warm (yellow-based) coloring.
Everyone looks best in his or her own color base.
Eyewear color should complement personal coloring.
The main factors to determine the best color palette are the colors of the skin, eyes and hair.
Are you warm or cool? Knowing the answer will help you easily select frame colors. These eyeglasses are by Moschino.
SkinSkin tone is the prime element in determining coloring. All complexions fall into one of two color bases — blue (cool) or yellow (warm). A cool complexion has blue or pink undertones, and a warm complexion has a “peaches and cream” or yellow cast. Olive skin is considered cool because it is a mixture of blue and yellow. (In the United States, cool, blue-based complexions are more common than the yellow-based warm complexions. About 60 percent of the population are “cools.”)
EyesEye colors are usually a secondary element in determining coloring because of the wide range of eye colors. For example, blue eyes can range from a cool almost-violet to a pale blue-gray, which is warm. Brown eyes can vary from a light cider shade (warm) through a medium-brown to a cool almost-black.

HairHair colors are also considered warm or cool. Strawberry blond, platinum, blue-black, white, salt-and-pepper and “dishwater” brown are cool. Warm hair colors include golden blond, flat black, brown-gold, “carrot” and “dirty” gray.
Eyeglass Frame Colors
Once you have determined if you are “warm” or “cool,” then you can find the eyeglass frame colors that will suit you the best. Some examples of frame colors best for warm coloring are: camel, khaki, gold, copper, peach, orange, coral, off-white, fire-engine red, warm blue and blond tortoise. For cool coloring, the best eyeglass frame hues are black, rose-brown, blue-gray, plum, magenta, pink, jade, blue and demi-amber (darker) tortoise.
