My husband is ten years older than me (don’t tell him I told you that). Now, when I was in my twenties this was all cool. Catherine Zeta Jones was having children with Micheal Douglas and he was looking good on it.
I did however wonder a little about what happened when he got older (my husband that is not Mr Douglas). Would I become uncool ten years before my time because of his aging?Looking back, I didn’t need to worry as I was never that cool to start with.
In the last few years my husband has started to become concerned about his sight. He is finding it hard to read smaller text. Obviously I was concerned about the problems this was causing him, so we started looking for some reading glasses. Now I can tell you this, most men’s reading glasses are seriously uncool. It’s as if now my man is getting older he should care less about his appearance.
So my husband tolerated his boring reading glasses, they did the job. However when we were offered the chance to try out the Snazzy Specs range of men’s reading glasses we were pretty excited.
We chose four pairs of glasses from the range. There are lots of options to choose from. Some are cool, some quirky. I’m sure there is a pair for most personalities. These specs are fun and functional.
As you can see my handsome husband gave each pair a thorough testing. Our personal favourite are the Amerigo, they are funky and I’m sure you will agree look great on my man.
Luckily for my readers, the folks at Snazzy Specs have also agreed to let me give away a pair of men’s or women’s reading glasses. To enter this competition what you need to do is leave a comment telling me your favourite thing about getting older (making sure I get your email address).

I won’t enter because I don’t need reading glasses……yet!
Very snazzy for reading glasses, I wont be entering as my eyesights too bad for reading glasses and I only just bought my new specs! Btw I like the last pair, fair play to him for modeling for you!
Well what a handsome model! Braver than my hubby!
Fab specs. Going to enter because I would love to win some for my mother in law!
My favourite thing about getting older is the confidence you gain – I feel more confident in my skin at 29 than i ever did at 19!

Glad you like the glasses! Hubby does look rather snazzy in them. We’re almost tempted to enter your competition ourselves 🙂
The best thing about getting older is getting better at things!
the best thing about getting older is finally loving yourself for who you are and what you have become/achieved

Don’t need reading glasses yet myself but both my parents do and they would make a lovely little gift.
I think my faviroute thing about getting older is been able to relax and enjoy being “me” . Im not a drinker and don’t enjoy going out , i want to stay home and just be with my family but in my 20s people thought i was strange for it – now im 30 its expected lol
Hi Thanks for running this great competition, the best thing about getting older is knowing you are always right!

So need the specs but can’t think of anything good about getting older!!!! MMM, suppose it’s not getting the wolf whistles anymore which used to make me cringe x
Would love to win a pair.
Best thing about getting older is that you can be who you want to be without peer pressure xxx
