Hi I'm Dee. I'm 23 and married. I've worked in health care as well as office settings but am now a home-maker. I'm knowledgeable in a variety of subjects but don't mind doing a little research if asked about something I don't know about. Most of my friends come to me for advice. I read several advice columns and would like to help you also. I'm not judgemental. Your life is yours to live it as you choose. I believe asking for advice is good, but ultimately the choice is yours. You WILL NOT find a hurtful or smartass answer here.
If you have a question that you would like to keep private, you can email me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
advice
okay so i just got contacts like 3 months ago but i have dark dark circles i cover it up with makeup n im tired of it n so i heard you could freeze spoons...do you use plastic or metal? and what exactly do you do?? And do you know any home remedies or inexpensive products i could buy like $10 or less
It's generally a metal spoon. You just pop it in the freezer until it gets ice cold then close your eyes and lay the round part of the spoon against your eyes for 10-15 minutes. Another option is using a slice of cold cucumber or potato. Just cut 2 slices, close your eyes, place the slices over your eyes and lay back for 15-20 minutes.
I have heard that drinking tomato juice helps reduce circles. I have also heard that drinking lots of water may help.
Mix equal parts almond oil and honey. Massage on dark circles daily before bed. Wash your face clean in the morning. Alternate hot and cold clothes under your eyes for 10 minutes.
It is possible that you're low on iron or not getting enough sleep. Try taking a good quality multivitamin (I recommend One-a-day) and making sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep daily.
All of these remedies are fairly inexpensive. You may even have some of the items in your refrigerator. I hope this helps.
