OOPS! I Did It Again!

Judging from my dodgy, unintentional eye lid reconstruction, I’m going to have to keep away from the hard stuff for a little while until the newest allergic reaction on my eyelids settles and disappears. Yes, yours truly is sporting the latest in elephant eyes today. Sigh. It’s an itchy, swollen, crepey nuisance, which means I will have to give the guinea pigging of eye products a rest for a few days. Ooh, but the upside to this malady is, I now have an excuse to shop for a new pair of gorgeous sunglasses. Yes! So that’s me for the weekend: ice cubes, chilled chamomile tea bags, certified organic jojoba oil, and the odd antihistamine, if I can’t keep the swelling at bay. I’m not too worried…as sadly, I’ve been here before. I’ll just keep reminding myself that it’s worth it for posterity’s sake, right? *wink* After all, it’s just as Pierre-August Renoir said, “The pain passes, but the beauty remains.”
