Summer fun abounds.
But perhaps the thing I appreciate most about summer is a
little something that makes all those activities even more enjoyable—my hat.

In the Midwest the wind rolls across
the plains like a freight train and the sun’s rays, unobstructed by foliage or
timbers, bear down on fair skin.

In that turbulent climate my hat stands as a beacon of
steadfastness and sanity. Atop my head it saves me a ton of hair-fixing time by
simultaneously performing these various functions:

Hair
product: My rebellious cowlick, which no amount of hair gel or blow drying
can tame, will finally submit to the all-day pressure of my hat.

Barrett:
Those wispy side hairs —you know the ones that curl ever so slightly toward the
face and look so lovely on celebrities. But on regular people, with average
hair, they just look like hairs that never grow long enough to fit into the
pony tail—because that’s what they are.
Yeah, those—my hat keeps them tucked up, out of sight making me appear
more “put together.”

Pony-tail

Sunscreen:

Sweatband:
It’s gross, but true. The hat absorbs the sweat of the day, which also
contributes to taming the cowlick.

Accessory:
In a juvenile attempt to feel fashionable and young, I bought the bejeweled hat
with a little bling-bling on the fleur de
lis. Can you imagine my fashion quotient when paired with my unwashed
jeans! It’s breath-taking…for more reasons than one!!

This summer I’ll avoid the strain of a “good hair day” and
the shame of a “bad hair day” by enjoying the benefits of a “summer hair day” compliments
of my hat.

You crack me up! Will you please add a widget so I can follow your blog by email?
I would be glad to…as soon as I have time to google "how to add a widget." I'm new at blogging and technologically challenged to boot.
Glad you got a chuckle. That's about all I have to offer : )
