OR Sliced onions.

Brett’s Amazing 87 year old spitfire grandma Naomi is like lightening in Channel flats. She has her own facebook, spends $100 every week getting a particular  glitter process done on her nails, subscribes to Vogue Italia, is a magnificent, precision seamstress, has Neimans on speed dial… You get the picture? Basically exactly who I want to be when I am 87.(Oh yeah -and she recently a two time cancer survivor IN ONE YEAR)

She knows that me and the Mister like to cook and I mentioned how I always have Brett cut the onions for our meals because I start crying.

Prrrresstttooo! Problem solved. One day these appeared on my doorstep: my new awesome baby pink ONION GOGGLES!

Mister B. refused to pose in them while chopping shallots..

I decided to go for it!

I look mildly insane.. but FYI: the instructional card says that wearing protective eyewear is the only way to keep the onions fumes from making you tear up OR  wearing contact lenses! No wonder Brett never gets overwhelmed by the scent-fumes like me! Mystery solved!

Knowing me I will only ever wear them if my in-house onion chopper is away! Thanks again Grandma Naomi!
