my own tea party protest

Starred Photos32-1 ...rallying against out-of-control baggy eyes and excessive dark circles.

i read somewhere that putting cold tea bags on your eyes would help and i really wanted it to be true. so i pulled out my box of celestial seasonings this morning hoping they could finally prove to be of good use. i soaked the caffeine-free green tea bags in ice water, placed them on my puffy eyes and laid on the couch for 15 minutes of meditation, channeling the swelling to manifest itself in someone more deserving. i mean, i don't smoke, i don't sun bathe, i drink plenty of water, get enough sleep. why me?

i'd post an after picture for you, but it was unfortunately too similar to the before. turns out the tea didn't relieve any noticeable taxing affect on my early morning "old man face"-a nickname i was gifted from dearly departed roommates of the past. hmph.

no one would riot for less - bright eyes

You so don't have old man face. You have the youngest looking face of any of the BBG's (no offense girls)! Hang in there. We will grow old together. . . Gracefully or not. . .

I'm impressed Faith. Not with the circles or old man face, but with the fact that you got to lay down and relax for 15 minutes. Even if it doesn't work it's worth doing just for that.

i think you're pretty.

seriously. great eyes.

i don't know where the whole "old man face" thing came from, but it's bogus.
