Once on, I noticed the right lens seemed a little smudged, so at the next red light, I tried to clean them off repeatedly with no luck. After further inspection, I noticed the smudges were in fact about 8 tiny scratches and were certainly not coming off no matter how much I huffed and buffed.<div><br /></div><div>This made me very sad as this particular pair of sunglasses is one of my favorite pairs of <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/oakley-sunglasses-c-12.html">Oakley sunglasses</a> ever owned and I had two choices: </div><div><ol><li>To continue wearing them and ignore the little smudge-like scratches</li><li>To send them to the graveyard of sunglasses past (May they Rest in Peace)</li></ol><div>As the depressing music began to sound in my head, it hit me... <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/advanced_search_result.php?osCsid=49e3bc268f66eec28d7f922e9bad2ead&keywords=lense">OPTION C</a>!

Dish washing soap removes body oil on the lenses, nosepads, hinges and screws. Ever notice how your nosepads turn an ugly greenish hue? This is caused by chronic build up of body oil. Similarly body oil in the screws & hinges loosens them.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;">For step by step instructions on the best way to clean your <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/">sunglasses</a>, click the link below!</span></span></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_2091059_best-way-clean-glasses-sunglasses.html">How to best way to clean glasses or sunglasses. | eHow.com</a>SunglassMehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06655298979611363619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303645259641111816.post-58554320964807451302010-03-31T08:15:00.000-07:002010-03-31T08:37:11.150-07:00Golf Season is upon us!With golf tournaments heating up just like the weather, every golfer weather for sport or fun is dusting off the polo shirts and khakis and hitting the course.<div><br /></div><div>There's one item most people don't think to consider when out on the range or golf course: Sunglasses.

Just about any frame shape works best with your face shape... BUT be sure to avoid over-sized sunglasses. Some sunglasses we recommend for you are <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/oakley-half-wire-20-p-805.html">Oakley Half Wire </a>, <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/lacoste-la12419-p-610.html">Lacoste LA12419</a>, and <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/ray-ban-rb3025-55mm-poly-polarized-p-440.html">these polarized Ray-Bans</a> aviators.</li><li>Round - Those of you who fall into the round face shape category look good in most frame shapes as well. However, it is best to avoid round frames which will make your face look rounder. You want to accent your features and angular/geometric shaped glasses will help! We highly recommend these <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/ray-ban-top-bar-square-p-198.html">Top Bar Square Ray-Bans</a>. </li><li>Square - On the contrary to people with a Round face shape, square face shapes are PERFECT for rounded sunglass frames but not angular frames. These <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/ralph-lauren-rl8001-p-438.html">Ralph Lauren sunglasses</a> and <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/prada-pr18is-p-706.html">Prada sunglasses</a> are ideal for square face shapes!</li><li>Long/Oblong - If you have an oblong face shape, it is best to avoid short frames as they accentuate your longer face. It is best to choose sunglasses with tall frames such as these <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/ralph-lauren-rl7026-p-894.html">Ralph Lauren sunglasses</a>.</li><li>Heart - Heart-shaped faces are a little more of a challenge to find the perfect frame for your face. Look for frames that are heavier on the bottom to add width to the lower face and soften the forehead. Sunglasses such as these <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/d-g-dd2192-p-346.html">D&G sunglasses</a> and these <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/arnette-high-roller-an4065-p-619.html">Arnette High Roller sunglasses</a>.</li></ol><div>It's not always easy to pick the best pair of sunglasses for ourselves, but if you refer to the above information and our <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net">Sunglass Warehouse</a> post on <a href="http://sunglasswarehousenet.blogspot.com/2010/02/age-old-question.html">face shape,</a> you will be well on your way to looking good while protecting your eyes!</div></div>SunglassMehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06655298979611363619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303645259641111816.post-86852417186149333102010-02-13T09:03:00.000-08:002010-02-13T11:34:31.032-08:00Age Old Question<div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><b>What Sunglasses work best for YOUR face shape?</b></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Before we can answer that question, we must determine what your face shape is. There are 5 main shapes that you could fall into...</div><div><ol><li><i>Oval</i> - Oval face shapes contain a slightly narrow chin and higher cheek bones. The face is mostly proportional. Celebrities with this face shape include: Charlize Theron and Beyonce.</li><li><i>Round</i> - Round face shapes contain full cheeks, a rounded chin and very few angles. Celebrities with this face shape include: Kelly Clarkson and Kate Winslet.</li><li><i>Square</i> - These faces are quite angular with a strong jawline, square shin, and wide forehead. Celebrities with this face shape include: Demi Moore and Sandra Bullock.</li><li><i>Long/Oblong</i> - These faces are longer than they are wide. Long faces also include angular shapes, longer noses, and tall foreheads. Some notable celebrities with this face shape include: Sarah Jessica Parker and Paris Hilton.</li><li><i>Heart</i> - Heart-shaped faces tend to have broad foreheads, somewhat wide cheekbones, and pointy, long chins. Celebrities with this face shape include Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Lopez.</li></ol><div><br /></div></div><div>Alright, now that the face shape question has been resolved, time to select the best style sunglasses for Y-O-U!</div><div><br /></div><div>... thought I'd tell you now didn't you? Well you're going to have to stay tuned to the next post answering that "Age Old Question"!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>SunglassMehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06655298979611363619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303645259641111816.post-91715582123118500102010-02-10T08:03:00.000-08:002010-02-10T08:18:38.515-08:00Sunscreen For Your Eyes<div>Did you know that <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/">sunglasses</a> are like sunscreen for your eyes? Cheaper sunglasses may mask the brightness of the sun but they don't in fact protect your eyes from the harmful UV Rays. When considering items to save or splurge on, <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net">sunglasses</a> without a doubt fall into the splurge category. A <a href="http://www.shoppingpagesplus.com/sunglasswarehouse/polarized-sunglasses.html">good pair of sunglasses</a> (saying you don't sit on them or run them over) can last you YEARS. Let's break this down mathematically...</div><div><br /></div><div>Say you spend $40 on a cheap pair of <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net">sunglasses</a> that only last you a couple of months, compounded over 20 years, that's $800 on glasses you would be spending on top of trips to the eye doctor for eye glasses/contact lenses as a result of the lack of UV protection.</div><div><br /></div><div>However, say you spend $120 every four years on a good quality pair of <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/">sunglasses</a> with optimal UV protection. That equates to about $600 over 20 years and you won't be needing to constantly be worrying about your vision fading as a result of direct radiation from the sun.</div><div><br /></div><div>Given those two options, the choice is easy: SPLURGE and save your eyes! Don't forget! Unlike singlasses, we only get one pair for our entire lives. </div>SunglassMehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06655298979611363619noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303645259641111816.post-56813160927054580012010-02-02T08:34:00.000-08:002010-02-03T10:09:41.450-08:00Do you wear your sunglasses at night?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; ">Ever since popular rap/hip-hop and "new age" music videos have hit the television, a new trend of wearing <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net">sunglasses</a> at night has reached an all-time high.

It was suddenly uber cool to be a pilot. Let's face it, what man doesn't want to wear a leather jacket, ride a motorcycle, and have beautiful women flocking to you at your becking call? <div><br /></div><div>Now, while actually becoming a pilot, learning to ride a motorcycle, and singing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" on key may not be the easiest tasks in the world, there is one aspect that rounds the entire image out: <a href="http://www.shoppingpagesplus.com/sunglasswarehouse/aviator-sunglasses.html">Aviator sunglasses</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>There is absolutely no training required to own a pair of <a href="http://www.shoppingpagesplus.com/sunglasswarehouse/aviator-sunglasses.html">Aviator sunglasses</a>, and pretty much everyone who puts on a pair, males and females alike, instantly become "cool". Lucky for us, this phenomenon has withstood time and holds true even today.</div><div><br /></div><div>There's only one important question left to ask: Do you feel the need, the need for speed? </div><div><br /></div><div>Over and out Ghost Rider!</div>SunglassMehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06655298979611363619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303645259641111816.post-55514064217493585822010-01-22T08:36:00.000-08:002010-01-22T09:07:24.318-08:00UV Radiation and Your EyesMany people have heard of UV Rays and that they can be harmful to not only your skin but also your eyes. However, most people don't know the specific effects UV Rays have on vision.<div><br /></div><div>UV Rays can cause eye damage, including cataracts and blurred vision. Many factors contribute to how sensitive your eyes are to the sun: </div><div><br /></div><div><ol><li><b>Time of day</b> - Your eyes are most susceptible to damage when the sun is highest in the sky, typically between 10am and 2pm. </li><li><b>Altitude</b> - Picture this: the higher up in altitude you go, the closer you are to the sun... and thus, the greater impact UV Rays have on your eyes.</li><li><b>Geography</b> - We all know that things heat up as you get closer to the equator, as does the severity of UV Rays.</li><li><b>Medications</b> - Make sure you read the bottle of your prescriptions and OTC medicines to see if they impact your eye sensitivity.</li></ol><div>Long story short, don't go hiking the northern Andes mountains between 10am and 2pm while taking birth control... Kidding aside, live your life and enjoy the outdoors. Just make sure your eyes are protected! </div><div><br /></div><div>For optimal protection while being active outdoors, try to find <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.net/">sunglasses</a> with 100% UV protection with a close-fitting style.
