Damn is right. (I heard your thoughts.) This is what I saw in the mirror this morning when I awoke, after a big cry last night. I took a picture to document the sexy metamorphosis.
I shared on The Bert Show this morning how, like most women, I have a good big cry every once and awhile and last night was that time. When I went to bed I tried to use ice and a cold washcloth to keep the above from happening but my efforts were in vain. So I asked listeners what remedies they use for these emergency situations. Here is the list they came up with both on-air and via e-mail:
Cold Mayo
Cucumbers
Preparation H
Green tea bags
Coffee filter with the grounds still inside
Mary Kay Indulge Soothing Eye Gel
Garnier eye roller
Bath and Body Works Gel Mask
Take a cotton t-shirt and fold it in half. Then make a peace sign with both hands and press the t-shirt to the corners of your eyes. Then lean over. It soaks up the tears.
Keep a couple of spoons in the freezer. When you need them pull them out and put the spoon-side down on your eyes.
If you have more ideas let me know before I make a trip to Publix to stock all this in my cabinet or fridge for next *sniff* time.
And don't feel alone! One husband decided to start a website based on his wife's tears over movies. Click here to see it. It will make you feel better.

OMG, honey. What was this big cry about? This makes me sad to see you like this

I am so relieved that someone else shares my pain. I used to go to school looking just like that and it was so embarrassing. I found that the "butt" cream works the best in this situation. I am now an RN and see that my teenage days remedy is helping so many other women with the same problem. Thanks for sharing your photo!

Bless your heart!! I have the same problem and not only does it look like hell, but is SO uncomfortable. I think I will have to try the green tea bags next time! Thanks for sharing!
