Happy New Year!

I love making new year's resolutions, and I do them every year.  For me, it is all about setting the intention of what I would like to work towards.  I like to take the time at the beginning of the year to think about all the steps to get me from where I am to where I would like to be.  I write them down and put them on my calendar so that it is not only an idea of how to get there but the exact path I need to follow.

I know what a lot of you are thinking.  How could anything good have come out of 2020?  And, I totally get where you are coming from.  But, I am a glass-half-full kind of gal, and I implore you to take a hard look back at the year and find what you can truly be grateful for.

Most days a couldn't stand to wear eye makeup.  I knew there must be a better way to live.  I couldn't go on with the feeling of wanting to claw the contact lenses from my eyes before 5 pm. 

I began to research how to keep moisture in my eyes longer.  I played around and tried every contact lens and contact lens cleaning solution on the market.  I definitely have my favorites from that experiment, but there was still something missing.
