Add ground almonds or ground rice to your cleanser/soap when doing your cleansing routine and it will provide you with a cheap but good exfolator for the face, which rids the skin of dead skin cells that will block the pores and create spots.0

I am really sorry To hear about your dog.
For your eyes, smother your face in moisturiser, which has been in the fridge for a few minutes and try some slices of cucumber on your eyes for 10 -15 mins.
Or try peppermint or camomile tea bags infused in water, and cooled in the fridge. Again use on your eyes for 10-15 minutes.
Keep smiling :P
I can't promise that all my replies will illicit this responser.mac, you are so wise and wonderful, that post was lovely and so insightful!

Thank you so much! I am off to load up the fridge!!
Don't have any cucumber but have just remembered I have one of those avery gel filled eye masks from the freebie board!
Also have some peppermint teabags that I hadn't worked up courage to drink so will try those out as well
Have just made myself cry some more by writing out a poem for her but guess it is best to get it out of your system, she had a good, long and happy life so yes I will be smiling too
Thank you again for your kindnessOur days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

thats so so sad. a big hug to you, and my thoughts are with you.
try teaspoons in the fridge, is what i do, then lay with them on your eyes for 10 mins, works wonders and is reuable as many times as you need. :-*0 -
I just wanted to say sorry for your loss and to agree with the above tips.
The Avery gel mask is very good."This site is addictive!"
Wooligan 2 squares for smoky - 3 squares for HTA

Thanks everyone, you are such lovely people!
It has already brought a smile to my face thinking of what my husband would say if he opened to fridge now to find 2 used peppermint teabags, 2 teaspoons, a pot of nivea and what looks like an eye mask for zorro!! lol
I will try all these wonderful ideas though before I head off to work.
I am also being brave and drinking the peppermint tea! It is actually not too bad and is settling my queasy tum as well!Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.
