Puffy Eyes

Welcome to Chaos !!

Puffy Eyes

It snowed in Portland.....the city stood still for a while. It took a friend of mine 13 HOURS to get home from work the other day. A trip that takes about 30-40 minutes usually. That is insane. I would had lost my mind waiting in traffic for that long, I can barely do regular bumper to bumper traffic.
The hummingbird water that I have out for the little hummingbirds that circle my backyard is frozen, I feel bad for the birds. 
So the other day I tried an eye cream I have not used before (Andalou Rejuvenating Plant Based Retinol Eye Balm), I use other Andalou products for my face so I did not think anything of it. I woke up Thursday with two eyes looking like.....red, puffy, skin stretching downwards. My eyes did not look like usual. Not fun. Not a good look for me. An allergic reaction of some sort. I thought maybe some chilled tea bags would help so I applied those Thurday night before sleep, woke up looking puffy still. Then I read some articles that eye creams can cause CHRONIC eye puffiness and bags under the eyes and that the only way to reverse that is to get blepharoplasty. Now I am not ready to have a plastic surgeon cut up my face.....yet. Ask me in 10 years and I might tell you something different. So I got some antihistamine and some sort of eye scrubs yesterday. Then towards the evening the skin around my eyes started to itch. Earlier yesterday I exchanged the Andalou eye cream for another eye cream I have used in the past (Wild Carrot Wild Rose Hydrating Eye Cream) and patted it on to soothe the irritated delicate skin around my eyes. Did you know that the skin around the eyes (especially the eyelids) is the thinnest skin on your body? I regret not taking better care of the skin around my eyes. Learn from Tati.....treat the skin around your eyes with the most gentle care, get a good eye cream and DO NOT use tanning beds and cover your eyes and face while in the sun as much as possible. 
Woke up today looking better but still not fully recovered. I hope my eyes go back to their normal state soon.

I have been making coffee at home. I do not think that the latte at Black Rock coffee shop close to where I live is worth the $6 plus so I am trying to get lattes from places where the quality is worth it. Like Stumptown. Besides coffee at home is kind of cozy, I get up, make the coffee and go back to bed, sip on the coffee while reading what is new in the world. 

Took an evening walk through the snow the other night. Saw this. Pretty!

Now I am going to start my day. Work tonight. Pet Pack tomorrow.
