PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS FOR ONLINE SHOPPERS

Cyber Monday can be hard on the wallet but according to The Vision Council, marathon e-shopping is also hard on the eyes.  Too much cyber shopping creates eye strain, and aches and pains in the neck, head and back.   The Vision Council says to protect your eyes, and consider some of the new computer glasses, that come in both prescription and non-prescription.  For every 20 minutes, take a 20 second break, in addition, adjust your workspace so your face is an arm’s length away and the monitor is at eye level.

AFFORDABLE GIFT SUGGESTIONS

Affordable usually means accessories, and the hot new item this year are the amazing tablets, and the 3-M Screen Protectors.  They’re the must-have accessory to keep their devices looking like new long after the holidays.   The custom screen protectors come in a variety of styles – privacy, anti-glare and fingerprint fading.  3-M also has a neat “Give One, Get One” Holiday Sweepstakes where you have a chance to win 2 Apple $500 gift cards, one for you, and one for a friend, by signing up at the 3M Screen Protectors Facebook Page.
