All opinions are my own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know the earth is closest to the sun in early-January? It&#8217;s true! Despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/january-sales-shopping\/\">January<\/a> being the dead of winter in the Western hemisphere, the sun&#8217;s elliptical orbit brings that fiery star closest to our planet about two weeks after the December Solstice. In 2020, that magical date is January 5 &#8212; at 1:47am CST, to be exact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know I&#8217;m going to use this fact to justify a new pair of sunnies &#8212; you&#8217;d expect nothing less, I&#8217;m sure. But there&#8217;s a safety concern as well as style one. When the sun is closer, it&#8217;s brighter. And a brighter sun can increase the risk of sun damage to your eyes and decrease your visibility, particularly when driving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So stay safe and get yourself a pair of sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection. Here are five picks I&#8217;m shopping now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Winter sunglasses we love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
