Gathering of the Tea Bags
When I was in SF, I drank inordinate amounts of tea, mostly from teabags. I had a load of teabags that I didn’t know what to do with. I wanted to compost them, but the garden is not mine and I don’t want to mess with it (I’ll get my little window garden sometime!). So eventually, I remembered there was another way I could use them – as a beauty product!Tea does amazing things for bags under the eyes. It has antioxidants that are good for the skin. Just squeeze the bag of tea until it’s relatively dry (so you don’t get tea into your eyes) and then lay them down flat on top of your eyes, covering as much surface area as you can. Then leave them there for about 10 minutes. I’m not sure how many times you can do that, but I would suggest using them once or at most, twice. Also, when you are saving teabags (to be used later), put them in the fridge to keep the temperature low. The cooler temperature will keep the bags
So the next time you have a batch of teabags that you don’t quite know what to do with (black tea and green tea work the best, herbal tea not so much), why not try to use them for some eye pampering!When I left SF, I left the bag of teabags to my roommate. I hope she figures out how to use them.[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="Yummy and useful!"][/caption]

For longer and stronger eyelashes
I’m not usually one who does open advertisements for products, but having tested this for myself I really think I should recommend it to people who have always been troubled (especially Asians like myself) by sparse and fragile eyelashes.
The product is called Zino. It’s a special serum that is used the same way as a mascara. You can also choose to use it as a primer, although I’m usually too lazy to put on mascara in general.
My eyelashes used to be (like any typical Asian) very short and the lashes on my lower lid are few or non-existent. My friend S read about this product in a beauty magazine and recommended to me. Unfortunately it can only be purchased (as far as I know) from SaSa, which is in HK. But we generally order them together and then share the shipping, the total of which comes out to be around the same as a high end mascara. I used it for about half a year (you’re supposed to use it once in the morning and once at night but I was lazy so eventually I only put it on in the morning). After a few weeks I could start to see results, eyelashes started growing where there were none and existing lashes were much stronger than before. I used it for a little over half a year, by the end of which I probably only put it on once every 2-3 days and only on the upper lashes, but they worked wonderfully. Now I don’t even use them anymore, but this is a wonderful product and I’d like to recommend it to all my friends and people who have eyelash problems.
