PROTECT YOUR BABY BLUES, EMERALD GREENS
AND CHOCOLATE BROWNS!!
Hi All It's Cody!! My Mom and I are sunglass freaks as evidenced by my photo above and Mom's classic that has been on our header above for YEARS , but every day millions of humans make the decision to not wear sunglasses
or other ultraviolet (UV)-protective eyewear. This is SUPER risky behavior!
UV radiation is often recognized as the culprit for sunburns
and skin cancer but most people are oblivious to the damaging impact the
wavelengths inflict on our vision. The problem originates with the sun’s
unfiltered ultraviolet (UV) rays. Just as these rays can burn skin cells, they
can also harm unprotected eyes. A full day outside without protection can cause
immediate, temporary issues such as swollen or red eyes and hypersensitivity to
light. Years of cumulative exposure can cause cancer of the eye or eyelid,
accelerate conditions like cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
National Sunglasses Day is held annually on June 27. It is
not only an observance but a reminder that our shades are a health necessity
and it is important to wear sunglasses or other UV-protective eyewear every day
to protect long-term eye health.
NOW GO AND PUT ON
YOUR SUNGLASSES!!!
(even "CHEAP" Sunglasses!)
YOUR SUNGLASSES!!!
(even "CHEAP" Sunglasses!)
and enjoy one of Mom's
FAVORITE TUNES!!
Mom is a sunglass freak too! She even got a pair with readers in them so she could read outside.

DeleteDon't worry Cody we were our sunglasses too. We're on the water a lot and need the extra protection.
ReplyDeleteI linked this post to Awww Mondays.
Have a purrfect day Cody. My best to your wonderful mom. ♥♥♥
Thanks so much my dear furiend!!!!!!!! You are a smart lady that you wear your sunglasses! Love, Cody xoox
DeleteHAH! I posted about this too! Great minds think alike. TW never wore or liked sunglasses until she started wearing contacts. Now she never goes out without them even thought she doesn"t wear contacts anymore.
ReplyDelete"Great minds" is right!! Will be over to see yours soon!!!
DeleteNow those are some cool shades Cody!
ReplyDeleteYou have cool sunglasses, Cody ! Claire never forgets hers, she doesn't like to be dazzled by the sun. Purrs
ReplyDeletedood...ewe R rockin thoz shades ya noe....lookin good buddy, lookin good !! ☺☺♥♥
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, sunglasses are really important! Our Mama is really sensitive to sunlight.She wears sunglasses even on partially cloudy days and tells people she is part of the Witness Protection Program (her humour not ours!). We wished your Mam lived closer to us too. Our Mama would love to go to the market with her! :)
ReplyDeletethe critters in the cottage xo
OMC, that photo is priceless! That's a good look for you, Cody!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute photo! Our mommy always wears sunglasses because the brightness makes her squint and gives her a headache. She's weird but at least she's protected!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing in your shades, Cody! I would have a permanent migraine if I didn't wear my funky animal print sunglasses every day!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! You look so cool, Cody! You're one cool cat! Good for you doing this post. The lady heard on the news this morning that it's National Sunglasses Day today and she wished she had known and did a post with one of us. We really like your picture!
ReplyDeletewhat is with the dark glasses?? Have a very fabulous day!
ReplyDeleteYou are all ready to pawrty in those shades, Cody!!
ReplyDeleteMeowmy is naughty...she hates those and only wears hers sometimes...one day she will pay dearly...but...she is not an outdoorsy peep...and she says there are UV filters in her regular glasses..whahtevfur...
You are rockin' those shades, Cody!
ReplyDeleteMy human never wears sunglasses... but then, she is rarely out in the sun! She probably should look into vitamin D supplements, she gets so little sunshine!
ReplyDeleteMy wife won't go anywhere without her sunglasses but I believe if any of that were true, humans would not have survived the last 200,000 years. Of course, I'm also the wierdo that thinks it's the sunscreen that causes cancer.
ReplyDeleteWhen mom wore contacts she was a sunglasses freak too. Now that she wears glasses instead, she doesn't have prescription sunglasses. She should probably do something about that!
ReplyDeleteVery cool sunglasses! Our mom has contact lenses with UV filters, and she also wears sunglasses when she is outside.
ReplyDeleteYou look so cool Cody! Thanks for the reminder Caren.
ReplyDeleteAlso, on another note, hydrate everybody!
xxoo
My Mom has those photogray lenses in her glasses which she wears always - so she's protected but indeed Cody people forget to protect their peepers! Not good! Thanks for reminding everyone to wear cheap or expensive eye protection WHATEVA!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
Like Sammy's Mom, I have the photogray built right into my regular glasses, so it's never a problem for me!
ReplyDeleteGood idea for this day to remind everyone to protect their eyes, and you are stylin' in your sunglasses, Cody! :)
Looking cool dude
ReplyDeleteSnorts,
Lily & Edward
You are one stylish dude, Cody!
ReplyDeleteLove the shades! And Love ZZ Top!!!
ReplyDeletethank you and I do too!
DeleteYou look great in your shades Cody and so does your Mom. I never go outside without mine, my eyes are very sensitive to the light.
ReplyDeleteIt's was raining today but love sunglasses all year round! xoxo
