I have stumbled upon a really fun website, that kept me entertained for a while and to even purchase.
It offers loads of different contact lenses, running from your average coloured contacts, to ones with barbwire, smiley faces, cats eyes, dollar signs. They have all the colours of the rainbow, even if you don't buy any it makes interesting browsing.
I purchased the blue ultra violet ones. I guess I'm going clubbing at the weekend. I wish I got the pale pink one now, mmm maybe next week.

Imagine your belly being pushed to the floor. And flatten your lower back. Each
time you flatten your lumbar and lower back to the ground is a stretch.
The second exercise - is the knee to chest stretch. In the

chest. You will feel your hip and lower back stretch. This provides help for
your nerves that are exiting your spinal column. Bring one knee to your chest
and hold for the 8 seconds and then repeat with the other knee.
