I first heard it from Kathie Lee & Hoda: it is…

National Sunglasses Day! 

the Vision Council invites us to join them in the celebration of “Sunnies” today.

National Sunglasses Day is a commemorative date held annually on June 27 reminding us of the importance of wearing our eye shades.  We are encouraged to practice safe sunning by styling our eye accessories, not only in the summer, but throughout the year, as the sun’s harsh ultraviolet rays are always at play.

In an effort to

Share the Message of UV Protection

lets all grab our shade spectacles and post a picture on social media.  To help share the message of the importance of protecting our eyes celebrate use #NationalSunglassesDay and #SunglassSelfie in your favorite shades (source).

That said, I’m joining the National Sunglasses Day celebration!

Here are some of my favorite Sunglasses Pics
