Eyeing Relief
Yet another Friday, and still, no Friday night date. Alas.
But my horoscope encourages me to socialize this weekend, so I am primping and prepping for a Girl’s Night Out with local pals.
And trust me, I am in dire need of the beauty work, especially around the eyes.
My adorable Lhasa Apso, Cody, took a stumble down the stairs in the middle of the night last night. He is 15, so needless to say I have been worried. I couldn’t leave him and go back to bed, so I was up half the night. The good news: he is doing well and now seems to be just a little sore but okay! The bad news: my eyes are dark, dark, dark.
What do I do in a pinch? What do I recommend? The old pantry staples of cucumbers and tea bags really do work. But sometimes it is nice to use an at-home treatment that is a bit more lavish. Here is one such version I like . . .
Grate half cucumber, strain it and keep in the fridge to cool. Take two pieces of cotton wool dipped in rose water and the cold cucumber juice, and place these on your eyes…. Get the full scoop here.
Rose water is so delicate and feminine, it gives this remedy an extra special touch. See my rose water pick in this earlier post. And please share your eye-saving tips and tricks. I need all the help I can get today!
