The best cure for dark circles is to get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy diet, drink water and exercise regularly. Now, what mom really has time for all of that on a daily basis? I certainly don’t! That’s why I resort to concealers that will help me look bright-eyed—or at least not sleep-deprived! After […]
Recently one of my best friends got engaged and posted a picture of her engagement ring on Facebook. I congratulated her. She was quick to clarify in a comment that the ring wasn’t “the real deal”.
