Features and confidence…

2009 November 11

At the moment.  I. Am. Typing. This. Blog. Post with contact lenses instead of my normal glasses.

I believe life is good when you can get exciting about the little things.  I am excited that I am wearing contact lenses and that I am finding them a hell of a lot more comfortable that I thought I would. 

The whole contact lense thing has been a topic of thought for me for a while now.  See last year this time, I was wearing my glasses for driving.  For watching tv.  For attending workshops with Powerpoint presentations.  That was it.  I did however need to have my eyes retested and after doing so, I found the result absolutely amazing.  I could see, c-l-e-a-r-l-y. 

Naturally for the past year I have been wearing my glasses 24/7, which as much as it was needed, was sad.

My eyes are one of my features.  (So is my cleavage according to a couple of friends)   My eyes, give me depth, they give life to the people around me!  So hiding them behind glasses is a sin, especially if there are things like contact lenses.

Besides, at the moment I need a bit of a confidence booster!

 What are your features?  Does it give you a bit of a boost in confidence from time to time?

    I am also legally blind so I alternate between wearing glasses and contact lenses (whatever my mood dictates). I enjoy my glasses and I get a different repsonse from clients when I wear them.

    I think my features the people notice the most is my hair colour and my blue eyes. I don’t really have any other nice features. Being five foot nothing and chubby isn’t very appealing…

      At least you know how tall you are.
      (Weight isn’t features – stop beating yourself up. Next year’s resolution – you and me both!)

    I have been wearing glasses and contacts for 16 years now. I have a variety of different glasses and only wear contact a couple times a week.

    I really cannot say what my ‘features’ are…

    I also have contacts – changed my life when I got them :)

    My favourite feature is my eyes! And according to my boyfriend my legs :)

    Contacts are awesome, I would love to have that op and be able to wake up and see without having to fumble for my glasses. BUT i can’t get over the fear of something going wrong and the night blindness thing puts me off.
    My best feature – at the moment I am loving my new boobs just because they are new.

      I say we wait for the technology to improve – until it is a common procedure!
