The Faces Of My Sunglasses

I am addicted to sunglasses. I have gotten at least one pair of sunglasses every year for the past 14 years (usually for Christmas). I want to explain the relevance of owning so many pairs and more importantly, why I need more! :) General Protection: In a previous post , I explained the importance of your eye wear protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays. A good pair will provide full protection, but polarized glasses takes safety a step further and actually makes your vision crisper and clearer. Polarization cuts out glare that may hinder your vision while driving, etc. Making a Statement: Depending on the situation, a great pair of sunglasses speaks volumes. For example, when you're on a poker tour. Nothing says "I'm a serious gambler" like wearing a pair of sunglasses indoors... at night. Or here's another statement, "Hey, I'm a uni-bomber."

OOOO, See! Not Just An Obsession!

What alternative do you have other than to not leave your home (which doesn't help you either because the sun provides vitamin D and boosts your immune system)? Well, I've got the answer! Try an all-natural, organic sunscreen that will give you protection from more than just the sun. Using it will also keep you from poisoning yourself. Hahahahaha! That's what I call serious protection.
