Here’s a secret most contact lens users won’t tell you: they secretly don’t really like wearing their contact lenses.

Sure, they like the versatility that wearing contacts provide and not having to worry about glasses breaking, falling off, or getting lost. But actually wearing them? No one really likes that. Contacts can get dry, they can make your eyes itch, they can get lost in the back of your eyes for minutes and even hours, and they can rip. For those who can’t stand wearing glasses but aren’t ready to undergo surgical treatment, contacts seem like a necessary evil, at best.

4 Fun New Fragrances to Try This Summer

We’re already considering sundresses and cutoffs before leaving the house, but it seems like winter JUST left us. Did you have a chance to even consider buying a new fragrance before spring sprung, or are you still rocking the warm, woodsy scent you sported throughout the fall and winter? Listen, perfume is perfume, and it’s nice to just smell “good,” but you’re grown now and you have to learn to consider the seasons. After all, you wouldn’t wear fur-lined knee boots in the summer, would you? And you wouldn’t don a floral mini in the winter. The same goes for scents. Along with the rest of your beauty products, changes have to be made. Whether you want to go with something clean and fresh, or sweet and fruity, there’s a fragrance for you on this list we’ve compiled here at The Shopping Masters. Take a peek. Or a whiff, rather.

Review: How Did I Ever Live Without the FitBit Blaze?

I realize fitness trackers are not exactly breaking news at this point. I see people post their results on Facebook, showing off their run mileage in an attempt to remind us all how fit and healthy they are. I’ve always stayed active, worked out pretty regularly, and maintain a fairly healthy lifestyle, but I never understood the hype behind fitness trackers. That is, until I took my health and fitness to the next level. In the last few months, I’ve seriously gotten myself in gear, working out daily in one capacity or another and closely monitoring my diet.

Sure, I still splurge – deprivation is not a system that works for me, or for most people for that matter. But now when I splurge, it’s deliberate and has been factored in to that day’s eating routine. Plus, rather than scarfing down a bag of chips because I’m too lazy to whip up something a bit healthier, I make my splurges really count – saving them for tasty restaurants and socially stuffing my face with friends and family. And as for the working out, I just find that doing it everyday works for me – it keeps me in the routine, where skipping one day can quickly turn into a slippery slope of slothfulness.
