Why are eye exam prices gotten up? Early last year Costco had the contact lens exams for $75 and now they have them for $89 dollars. Jeez, why the increase!?
My friend, Iliana, and I were calling everywhere to get the best pricing. Since eyeglasses and contacts are a necessity for those who need it. It seems like most places charge the same, with a few bucks less or more. Also, if they had a less expensive eye exam, they either got you with buying the contact lenses from them or their brand. We decided to go with Costco because they have most prescriptions in stock with the same day availability, and prices are just, :/. Who else feels the same way? I would love to know!

Patty's Closet Fashion Boutique
If you are in Las Vegas, you definitely need to stop by Patty's Closet. They have two locations and will be opening their third this summer! Patty's Closet is a very cute boutique style fashion store and comes with very affordable prices! Every time I go in there I always find something I love and get complimented frequently! Every store is different, different in the items they carry and the decoration. The first store's color theme is pink and black. The second store is Tiffany blue and black and has a very 1920s flair. I just can not wait till I get to see the third store! I will post more about its grand opening this July!Here is more information about the store.

My dog
Those of us who are dog owners know that having a dog is not as easy as it seems. I have a five year and four month mixed beagle. Her name is Honey. I've heard that she does not look like one, but yes her mother was beagle, a black and white one. Her dad was a small furry terrier. :) So that was the result of their breeding.
Honey, for a while, seemed to suffer from separation anxiety. Once she got the hint that we were leaving the house and she was staying alone, she would start trembling. When we returned, she had either destroyed a piece of the carpet that lead to a room, chewed the trim on the door, and/or defecated and/or peed inside the house, even though she is a trained dog. I seriously thought she was punishing us for leaving her alone. I searched around online and understood more the anxiety. I learned that there was a change in routine/structure when my boyfriend and I decided to live on our own. Honey was never used to staying alone, until then. I never got to fix the problem in that apartment because in a few months we moved to a new place. At the new place there were a lot different things, she was able to see the neighbors when they passed by the house through the screened door, the sofa was close to the window (where she could get on top and look to the outside), and we religiously walked her at least 2 times a day. Cesar Millan, the dog whisperer, says that walking a dog makes all the difference! Oh yea, we also ignored her when we would arrive home and once she calmed down, I would pet her and give her all my love! :D
I found this really good article about dog's who suffer from separation anxiety, hey, I guess it is a pretty common thing. ;) It offers ideas in which the pet owners can execute and gives a list of behaviors they engage in when they suffer from it.

Decorating on a budget
So I have been wanting to decorate our apartment, but had a major dilemma; money. I just hate coming home and knowing that a room in our place does not look complete. I started looking for ideas on how to decorate with a big imagination and little money. ;) I found a few website articles that gave ideas where you did not have to empty your pockets. Here are a few of the websites! Enjoy!(<--that's my place, doesn't it look bland? Any ideas on how to improve it?)
