|
 |
For the past two weeks I’ve been up late working on this personal project. And I just noticed dark shadows under my eyes. Black spots if you will. Raccoon eyes. I’ve also been getting less and less sleep lately.
Is there a way to get rid of them without going to a cosmetologist? I heard they can charge an arm and a leg to get rid of a few unwanted blemishes, but raccoon eyes? I don’t know.
Is there some home remedy for this shit? Like putting cucumbers on your face (I’ve seen people do it on tv… what’s that for?)
Or some face mask. I don’t want to talk about makeup cause… come on… guys weaning make up… that’s a tad queer. (odd/weird)
Help me! I have a social gathering in a days time and I wouldn't want to show up like I just rummaged through someone’s garbage. 
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

Get more sleep, try taking a Melatonin before bed. Also rubbing a little bit of eggwhite on your eyesockets in the morning helps. Don't wash it off though.

Paaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttttttttttttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! YAY! Booze! Booze! Food! Booze! YAAAAAAAAAAY!
I drink more than 8 glasses a day of clear unfiltered water. Filtered i drink 2. since it's hot outside and filtered water sits on the counter all day and it's room temperature. 
I got... 4 days. So if I go to sleep at 9 (5 hours earlier than my usual time) and get a good nights sleep till (6/7 am) these things should vanish in days time?

With the tea bags CAMOMILE (sp) is the best. It is good if you are getting an eye infection too.

lol ... tea FTW! at least not for drinking, where tea gets it's ass kicked by coffee 
| Quote: | Uncommon Uses for Tea and Tea Bags
Ease achy eyes. When your eyes ache from reading or staring at a computer all day, pamper yourself with some tea. You can drink a cup of course, or you can wet two tea bags with warm or cool water, and lie down with one tea bag on each eye. Relax for at least 15 minutes, and your eyes (and you) will feel invigorated. Chilled chamomile tea bags are particularly effective against puffiness.
Feed your houseplants. For lush, luxurious ferns, give them an occasional spot of tea. Use tea instead of water once in a while, or work wet tea leaves into the soil.
Soothe burns and sunburns.You stayed out on the beach just a little too long, and even your sunscreen didn’t keep you from getting an uncomfortable sunburn. Wet tea bags can take out the sting. Just pat them onto affected areas or keep in place with gauze. You can also put tea into your bath water. This works for other types of burns as well.
Tenderize meat. If you can’t afford expensive cuts of meat, try marinating or cooking your meat in tea. The tannins in tea work as a tenderizer to make the meat tasty and delicious.
Did You Know? In Great Britain alone, 150 million cups of tea are made from tea bags every day.
Stop bleeding gums. If you’ve just had a tooth pulled, or if you have a youngster who just lost a tooth, tea bags can help stop the bleeding. Just wet a tea bag with cool water and press into the spot the tooth came from.
Keep the dust down. Sprinkle damp tea leaves over the ashes in your fireplace before cleaning it out. The tea will help keep the ashes from rising and getting all over the place while you lift them out.
Dye lace for an old ivory look. Soak white lace in cold brewed tea to get a beige, ecru, or ivory color.
Remove old furniture polish. Boil two tea bags in a quart of water and let cool. Soak a soft cloth in the tea and wring out. Wipe off dirt and old polish, let dry, buff, and then decide if you need to reapply polish.
Did You Know? Before the invention of tea bags, tea was brewed loose-leaf and then strained. If you wanted just one cup of tea, you could put a small amount of tea in a "tea bell" and submerge it in your cup. A tea wholesaler decided to make his own version of a tea bell out of gauze so he could send his customers small samples. He was surprised when he received large orders for tea — in the sample containers. He’d invented the tea bag.
Mirrors that sparkle and shine. Brew up a batch of strong tea, let it cool, then use it to clean your mirrors. Buff it dry with a soft cloth for a great streak-free shine.
A tea party for your roses.Tea leaves sprinkled under your rose bushes will give them a new lease on life in mid-summer. Tea provides tannic acid, which roses love.
Darken gray hair. Make a natural dye for dark hair that’s going gray. Steep three regular-size tea bags in a cup of boiling water. Add a tablespoon of fresh or dried rosemary and a tablespoon of fresh or dried sage. Let it stand at least three hours — overnight is better — and strain. Shampoo your hair. Then, wearing old clothes because it can stain, pour or spray the mixture on your hair, saturating it thoroughly. Blot with a towel and dry. Don’t rinse it out. You may have to repeat the process a few times before the gray hair turns dark.
Take care of a messy shave. A wet tea bag is a soothing way to treat shaving nicks and cuts.
Freshen your breath. A cup of mint tea is a good-tasting breath freshener for after meals, especially if you can’t brush your teeth, or don’t like gum or candy mints. Carry a few mint tea bags with you so you’ll always be prepared.
Seed your lawn with a tea bag patch. Sow grass seed in small bare spots with a used tea bag. Make sure the bag is moist, and place it on the dirt where you want the grass. Sprinkle it with seed. The bag will hold moisture and gradually decompose.
Did You Know? According to legend, tea was discovered by a Chinese emperor named Shen Nong, often called "The Divine Healer." Some tea leaves accidentally fell into boiling water, and he tried it and found it invigorating. Today, tea is the most popular beverage in the world.
Out of the teapot and into potted plants. Place a few used Tetley tea bags in the bottom of a planter, on top of your drainage material (gravel, Styrofoam, etc.). Add soil and your plants as usual. The tea bags will hold moisture and gradually leach nutrients into the soil. |

I read from somewhere, that some models use the paste for hemorroids under theis eyes. Takes the swelling away but dunno about the blackness. Google it for better info. Still I guess sleeping would be the correct way to remove the bags under your eyes.
