Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

Ok I am not the person who asked about the dark circles but I have the same problem. IDK about her, but I have dark circles. I use coverup but it doesnt help that much. I'd like to get rid of the dark circles. Ive been working on getting more sleep but what else can I do? (link)

Well I found this great website that lists all of the products that are out there to treat dark circles, but the reason that you have dark circles is also important. Here is a list of the things that researchers believe can cause dark circls.
Lack of Sleep – Lack of sleep and fatigue can cause the skin to grow wan and pale. This makes blood vessels under the eyes to appear more visible and dark. The paleness that occurs with fatigue, a cold or sinus infection or during menstruation or pregnancy may accentuate the circles under the eyes. Partying all night and smoking can play havoc with your skin and result in dark eye circles.
Bone Structure – Deep set eyes may have a tendency to develop dark shadows under them. In fair-skinned persons, dark eyes become more obvious.
Sun Exposure – Increased exposure to the sun can draw pigmentation the skin’s surface and create dark circles.
Medication – Drugs that cause blood vessels to dilate may result in darkening circles around the eyes.
Nutrition – Dark circle around the eyes can be the result of poor nutrition.
Hormonal Changes – Since the skin undergoes changes during pregnancy and menstruation, you may notice darkening of the circles under the eyes.
And here is a link to the website that lists the items that work. http://www.thearticleinsiders.com/darkcircles.php
Also, I like all natural rememdies that are cheap. you could also try tea bags. Soak them in water placed in the refrigerator. (I use just bottled water) once cold place over eyes and eye sockets and lay down for 1/2 hour. (I know, who has the time) But try. Once a week is good.
I use it before I go out for a special occasion, it makes my eyes feel great and makes them sparkle.
GOod luck to you dear.
Michele
