Hey all, I have a great giveaway for you today – just in time for the spring and sunshine! Thanks to VSP for sponsoring this giveaway.
About: VSP Vision Care is the nation’s largest not-for-profit eyecare provider with more than 56 million members and one of their main missions is to help promote the importance of eye health in
connection to our overall health!
This month, VSP is reminding fashionable mommies like you about the importance of wearing sunglasses, year round and especially during the spring and summer months, to help protect our eyes against harmful UVA / UVB rays.
Here are some great tips about selecting and wearing sunglasses:
Labels: Make sure they carry a consumer-protection label stating they’re 99-100% UV-absorbent, or provide UV absorption up to 400 nanometers (nm).
Go big or wrap it: Bigger frames and lenses, and also wrap-around styles, give you
more UV protection because they block peripheral rays. Also, this is the trend this
season!
Go polar: Polarized lenses block out sunlight glare bouncing off windshields, pavement,
and other smooth surfaces.
Consider color: Gray lenses are best. Why? They don’t change colors. Green and brown
lenses are good too.
One lucky Mommies with Style winner will get to choose from a collection of $150 designer sunglasses!

I learned that gray lenses are the best because thy don’t change color. Green and brown lenses are good too.
It seems that I should be more concerned about getting polarized sunglasses. I’ve never really thought much about it, but they obviously help block more glare than “regular, non-polarized” sunglasses.
Thanks!
I breeders glasses, since my eyes r so light its hard to see in the sun
Bigger glasses that wrap the face block peripheral rays.
I learned that I should also consider the importance of coverage for peripheral rays in choosing new glasses
Gray, green and brown lenses are good…

I learned about polarized lenses!
I thought I knew a lot about sunglasses but I really had no idea grey lenses were the best and that they don’t change colors. I could use a new pair for the summer!
