Happy Super Bowl Sunday beauties! As I sit here waiting for my danseurs in the lounge of the New York Marriot at the Brooklyn Bridge, my favorite place on Earth, I look fresh as a daisy after a long weekend of stale air, salty foods and long hours. Why? Because I know a quick fix for tired puffy eyes, that you can use tomorrow after a day of Super Bowl Sunday partying.
I am a blessed mother, with three boys who not only dance, but also do it extremely well. We are now into our third dance competition of 2013, and today I wait for my boys in the lounge of the Brooklyn Marriot as they finish off the weekend taking a full day of dance convention classes with Dance America, which also happens to be Super Bowl Sunday.
As I am writing this, my husband just peeked over my computer to tell me how beautiful my eyes looked. I giggle because this is what I am blogging about, how to take care of tired puffy eyes, and you would think that I was the one who danced all weekend long.
There will be no Super Bowl Sunday partying for us. When we do finally get home later on, it will be time for homework, cleaning out dance bags and costumes, making dinner and crashing on the coach as we watch Beyoncé lip synch for the half time show. But I have a quick fix for tired puffy eyes for all of you who will be living it up tonight to try tomorrow morning on your way into the office.
There is something about the stagnant air in hotels that makes you puffy; swollen eyes, feet and legs. Add to that three days of prepping, cheering, and eating salty, unhealthy foods to stay awake and the eyes show the wear of the weekend. If you are drinking today to cheer on your favorite team in the Super Bowl, puffy, tired eyes will be guaranteed in the morning.
If you aren’t too drunk tonight, drink plenty of water before bed; however, a cure all, all the time, for puffy, tired eyes is Preparation H. Yes, Preparation H., the hemorrhoid cream will decrease the swelling of the bags under the eyes making you look fresh as a daisy.
This morning after waking at 6, I grabbed my tube of Preparation H. that I store in my fridge, and applied it under my puffy eyes and voila, I look as if I slept all weekend long, even though all of us dance moms know that is not true.
So tonight, as I fall asleep watching the Super Bowl, dreaming of a day when the Jets are competing, hopefully next year when Super Bowl XLVIII hits New York, I will rest easy knowing I have given all of my readers my secret to fixing tired puffy eyes. Wink, Wink!
Go Ravens!!!
