Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

{Review} Adlens ViewPlus Glasses

New year! New You! New image? I was sent the adlens ViewPlus glasses in exchange for an honest review and no monetary exchange was given.

 

Ever since I was a child I have loved the idea of wearing glasses, but when the time actually came and I was given the ‘dork’ glasses (back in the day they were not as sexy as they are now) I knew I never wanted to wear glasses again no matter how much I needed them. Over time my mind has been swayed to wanting to wear glasses now and again.

 

 

 

Adlens ViewPlus glasses are amazing non-prescription reading glasses which don’t only look cool but you can adjust them to your needs. I think this is what makes them standout of the crowd, you can adjust each lens dependent on the need and not have to keep going to the optician to keep changing lenses.

Disclaimer: These are ready to read non-prescription lenses which are not meant to replace your prescription, always check with your optician before use.

When I received the glasses they were nicely packaged and in a protective case. We know how sometimes the postman can have slippy fingers and throw accidentally drop the post so it was nice to see how they had packaged the glasses. The glasses also came with a hard plastic case which added to the level of protection during transit.

It was easy to adjust each lens to my needs, like I said I don’t exactly need glasses but I spend 20/24 hours staring at either the computer or my phone and sometimes the tv too so my eyesight is slightly faulty at best. The offer to try these reading glasses came at the right time and now I can continue to work without worrying too much about the damage my eyes were being exposed to due to my job and my personal use of gadgets.

 

I definitely recommend these reading glasses for those who do not exactly need glasses daily but could use some help when reading or watching tv etc. and for £29.99 it is an absolute bargain.

**Disclaimer – I was sent the sample glasses for free in exchange for an honest review**

    That is so clever! My mother in law has two pairs of generic reading glasses that she carries everywhere, these would be perfect for her needs! Awesome

    These look great on you. I used glasses for the work computer about 16 years ago to see if it stopped my headaches. They didn’t, so I gave up on them and have’nt needed any since. I’m not sure I’ use some when I didn’t really need the, though

      That is true though if you don’t need them don’t use them as it just spoils your eyes but for some they are a must not just as fashion statement but a must

    Oh I’m always on the lookout for new glasses as I wear mine all the time. My eyesight is terrible and my glasses are shot to pieces from the boys grabbing them and bending them.

    Glasses suit you. I’m actually getting my eyes checked next week, maybe they’ll tell me I need glasses or not.
