You should see what I wear if I'm out for a long time. It's an 1840s slat bonnet that goes far out in front of my face and covers my shoulders and upper neck. OC my arms and legs are out. LOL. In face, I'm getting ready to make a new one as my old was is seriously ratty. Although, I'm not a fan of hats in any form, I GET SOOOOO hot wearing one, but I need to cut that glare.
I can't stand sunscreen either, but I wear it. It's almost useless out here. On high UV days I wear a monitor with an alarm that tells you when, based on how you burn/tan, skin tone, and what SPF you use in combination with it's constant UV monitoring, how often to reapply your sunscreen. I have days it's going off every 10 minutes. UGH.
Lotion grosses me out tactile thing. Spray doesn't cover everywhere, but it's better than nothing. EVERYTHING is sticky, I don't care what the label says. And when you're out working everything clings to it. Icks me out! That said, I do stay cooler when I wear it. Basically because you aren't roasting.
Is the lawn treated with chemicals? I'd only be concerned then. Otherwise, eh, mine eats Junebugs. She says they taste like peanut butter.

Morning rant.
I CANNOT STAND GETTING NEW GLASSES!
My prescription has to be dead on, no fudge room, or it effect my vestibular issues and I get dizzy, and anxious, fall down, etc. There is NO "try them for a few days" to get used to them. They are either correct out of the box, or not.
I have to have a pair of script sunglasses, and all day glasses, and a strong pair of script reading glasses (cheaters don't work). When it's time to get new glasses, I DREAD it as all have to be changed and switched out at the same time. Even with insurance it costs me well over $1000 every 2ish years, as I wear them as long as possible to avoid the switch.
I broke my sunglasses plowing snow in January. UGH. I dragged myself in for a new script, but knowing I wouldn't wear NEW glasses until after shearing, the most likely time for me to break glasses, I was going to hold off on buying glasses until early June. But the sales girl talked me into a sale, insurance, more than one pair, blah blah blah. Even in January, the show room was full and loud, and halogen lights, and music and too much conversation. I was on sensory over load and the only way I saw to get out was to say yes, and buy new frames. I bought frames I don't even LIKE FCOL.
Fast forward to a month ago. I couldn't stand being without my sunglasses for another second, so it was time to switch to the new script. Pulled out new pair of day glasses, HUGE piece of the lens missing. UGH. They replaced the lens, and I picked up my glasses last week.
I put them on this morning. UGH same lens, scratch down the middle. WTH?!
AND the script is wrong. I have overlapping vision and the script in the left lens is blurry.
The script in the sunglasses is fine.
Turns out this place has a 90 day like it or swap them deal. Ya, I would have worked harder to switch earlier had I KNOWN that. Now I just want to crumple this pair up and throw them away. EVERY time I have to go in for their mistake it costs me 3 hours and they always act like their doing me a honor by saying 'just pop in anytime you have a problem' . Just....UGH. I should have a problem! Quality control at eyeglass shops STINKS! It's taken me up to 10 trips for some scripts to get them right. NO WONDER glasses cost so much.
Dragging myself in again on Tuesday.
Thanks for allowing me to vent. SO FRUSTRATING.
