All it takes to stop your eyeglasses from falling down your face: Keepons eyewear retainers
I went on my first date in 4 years. Let me tell you about 4 years ago first. I was 21 at the time. Nervous as anything. More than you can imagine. She was a girl I met in my social sciences class and her name was Anita. We had chatted a few times and it came out that we both loved watching the Simpsons. We talked about our favorite episodes and even quotes favorite scenes. So then we went out. Nothing special, coffee at first, then dinner. But the more we went out, the more nervous I got. I think it was because I really wanted it to happen. I really wanted her to be my girlfriend. So I kept getting nervous and then sweating a lot and then I would be pushing up my falling glasses every two minutes. I don’t know about you but when I get self-conscious I tend to go away inside my head and I may seem distant. I think that turned her off or that she got the wrong signals and slowly we drifted apart. But that was 4 years ago like I said. In that time, I’ve done everything I can think of to stop my glasses from falling down my face. I’ve tried eyeglass straps and chains and eyeglass cords too but they are so uncomfortable. They sit on your neck and restrict movement when you turn your head. Not by a lot, but enough to be a nagging inconvenience. I’ve tried contact lenses too but they dry out my eyes something fierce. And I am too much of a chicken to go for laser eye surgery. What if something goes wrong? I don’t want to lose my eyesight. As time went on I became more and more depressed. My self-esteem suffered and I went to the doctor for medication. He gave me something called Celexa, an anti-depressant and that kind of helped but my self-esteem was still in an abyss. And serendipitously, one day I was surfing the web and in this sports forum I came across a post about Keepons eyewear retainers which were supposed to stop your glasses from slipping down your nose. Everyone raved about it and I did some more searching and saw some more positive reviews. But I found it hard to believe that a solution actually existed. But I figured it’s only six bucks. Yeah Keepons cost six dollars and that includes free shipping worldwide and a free tracking number. Well I can tell you this. 10 days later they arrived in the mail and on that very day, my life changed. My glasses didn’t slip anymore. And that’s why I’m on a date. I want to try it again. I got in touch with Anita on facebook and well, my fingers are crossed.

Preventing eyeglass slipping with eyeglass retainers, Keepons
I’m giving a talk to a room full of investors right now. These people have money but they’re sharp. Hyperintelligent. I’m on my game, hitting all my points and I see their nodding heads and I know that at the end of my talk, which will happen in about 7 minutes, I have a timer near my foot like the people do on ted.com, that at the end of my talk a lot of people will want to give me their money. I work for a tech company, a startup actually. As I’m giving this talk, my thoughts wander. I shouldn’t let them wander but I can’t help feeling how surreal this all is. Two months ago if you asked me to stand in front of a crowd of multimillionaires and convince them to give me their money I would have told you to go jump in a lake. In fact I was thinking of bringing aboard a partner to do the selling and marketing part. But the person I had in mind, the fit was right and I really couldn’t afford. So I took it upon myself to pitch my own company. But I was always nervous and when I get nervous I sweat and then my glasses keep slipping. But one of my staff suggested I take a look at Keepons eyeglass retainers. I did and immediately I order two pairs. I also ordered them on EMS so that it arrived from Hong Kong in 4 days. And here I am giving this talk and I know I am nailing it. My glasses aren’t slipping. I look intelligent. I’m dressed sharp. Not Wallstreet sharp but silicon valley sharp with jeans, a white collared shirt, and a blazer. I think this will turn out ok and I have to thank Keepons eyewear retainers for that. Who would have ever thought that a tiny piece of silicone could make such a big difference in your life.

Keepons for eyeglasses stops glasses slipping for good
You know what learned helplessness is? It’s like when there’s a problem and the problem is a big problem, but the solution is an easy solution. For most people that is. For you though, it’s a big deal to solve the problem. Sometimes you’re unmotivated. Even the smallest thing is a huge obstacle for you. That’s learned helplessness. And to say there’s something wrong with you it’s untrue, but to suggest you’re making it up, that’s not true either.
The thing is, most likely when you grew up, if there was difficulty you chose to do something else. You convinced yourself that there’s always alternatives. But after a while when you keep taking the left path, you veer farther and farther off course until one day, you so far left that you can’t get right again.
That is becomes a habit to always seek the easiest way. The problem with that is that you problems never go away, they just pile up, blocking your way so that one day you find that your life options are incredibly limited. Then you get depressed and feel even worse and unmotivated.
Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it.
Yes it’s tough taking out your wallet, but do it. Now sure, it’s a lot of work removing your credit card, but go ahead and put it on the table.
Now choose one style of Keepons to help you keep your glasses on. How about the Keepons original clear? They are the most popular style.
Now this is the really really hard part. You have to fill in your address, but don’t worry I’m here with you. Don’t think about how you’ll do everything, that will overwhelm you.
What’s your house number? Great. What about your street name? You’re doing fine. No worries. City? Excellent. Now take a few breaths and relax for a minute or two. You ready? Ok let’s do this. What province or state are you? Then country…
Postal code?
OK, now just click that button.
I know you don’t want to do it because you know even if you click it it will be at least a week or more before it arrives. You’re conditioned such that anything you do must immediately gratify or it’s not worth doing.
Please, you’ll feel better and it’s time to heal.
There great.

Please tell me how to stop my glasses from falling down my nose
And once something good happens it can be like a snowball effect. The minute my glasses started NOT to slip anymore because of my Keepons eyeglasses retainers I started having all these ideas. I didn’t really think of them, they just appeared in my head from the new found freedom I was enjoying.
I told myself I was going to start going out more and not be a prisoner in my own home. Which is true since for as long as I remember all I do is go to work, then come home, surf the net and oh yeah spend at least 3 hours a night playing World of Warcraft.
And did I mention I don’t have a girlfriend.
I’m not exactly attractive but since my glasses don’t slip I think I can go a long way to improving how I look.
I’m going to get my haircut and start dressing my age.
My friends tell me I dress like I did in college and even in college I dressed like a kid. I wear shorts everywhere I go, and at work my pants and really baggy and I wear dress runners which are really nice Air Jordans that are in black suede so they don’t look like traditional running shoes.
I don’t know why I’ve been like this, why I’ve refused to grow up. I guess I felt there was nothing to live for, but my Keepons eyeglass retainers have shown me that life is indeed remarkable and it’s time to move on to the next part of the adventure, relationships, travel, maybe finally writing that novel I’ve been saying I would write since grade 5 English class.
