Of Things I Regret, I Wish I Had Worn More Sunscreen – And Hats!

I always say that my only regret in life is not studying abroad in college. But truth be told, I have a second one. It’s not wearing enough sunscreen. I wish I had lathered on the sunscreen as a child instead of opting for baby oil. I mean God bless the 80s and the stupid stuff we did. 

I also wish I had always worn hats. Had I combined that with sunscreen I feel like the sins of my summers past might be a little less obvious. I mean I have often thought about bringing back driving gloves as well. Our hands are what truly show our aging.

What is done is done, though, and thank God for good products and peels. I do, however, always wear a hat when outside these days. At sporting events, it’s a baseball cap but if I am at the pool or beach I opt for a straw hat. The wider the brim the better.

My favorites are Janessa Leone. Especially her packable options. Here’s a great YouTube video on how to safely pack her hats:

You really can pack them in a suitcase or bag and be on your way. I am not someone who treats bags or hats with much care so I always opt for the packable version.

Our selection isn’t limited to just packable hats, or Janessa. We have some great Hat Attack options as well.
