Destressers in 2005


OK ladies... here's my rant

Like so many high powered 20 somethings in the work world we get our share of stress... 70+ hours / week, combined with bad diet (mostly coffee and granola bars) and no sleep and what to do you get???

bags under your eyes, stressed out skin, yucky cuticles, and ashy legs...

My morning regime is from snooze to traffic 20 minutes flat (that includes a shower and makeup)

So here's the real question... when you're a successful hardworking gal, getting to the gym everyday ... who's got time to get dolled up and maintain that "youthful" glow that apparently we're all going to lose (oops it's already gone)... and oh yeah i forgot to mention now that "school" is over... i'm of marriage material age, per mom, and apparently i'm too old and too stressed out to attract a man... GREAT. best part was when she said i needed to get an eye lift ... i'm 25!!!!

ladies (and gents)... rant away!

thank you ladies... i find the time to go to the gym... because I HAVE TO LOSE THE WEIGHT!!!... but sometimes i have to stress so much to get that into my shcedule as well that i'm more stressed when i get done....

it's all a conspiracy... we should all just marry rich old hotel owners and pay someone to work out for us... and doll us up

haha... thanx ladies... i tried the cucumbers... they were yummyy!!!

omg.......you just told the story of my life.

That sounds a lot like what I'm going through. My little beauty regime usually consists of a few important things including Preparation H (hemorrohoid ointment...I know it sounds bad but it actually works) for puffy eyes and besan (gram flour) made into a paste with water and applied as a mask once a week to my face to get that clear, fresh look. It also acts as a scrub removing all the dead skin cells when you wash it off.

Try it...........hope it helps!

i ve heard ice works for puffy eyes..but m not sure how true is it...so dont quote me on it try it when u ve free time and not going anywhere...

its soo great that u workout...i hardly get chance to do any workout anymore...working full time specially working 12+ hours per day :(...i need a workout partner!!

good way of destressing urself is b4 u go to bed unwind...clear ur mind out of all the things and relax...then try to sleep with good happy thoughts...honestly i tried doing it and it just didnt work for me but u never know it might work for u...working out is great but sometimes we over do it which doesnt help...so check out ur workout schedule...drink plenty of water helps alot...i dont i shud practice this myself b4 i preach but ohh well...anyways sweets i hope i was a bit of a help...i myself m overly worked, overly stressed and sleep deprived...i can never get enuf sleep...im always tired and my dark circles so do not help my situation...

i feel ya sista!!...the fact that ur getting to the gym everyday is great...working out is my ultimate stress reliever....but make sure u make time on the weekends to pamper yourself...get a manicure, haircut or just sleep!..i miss sleep the most...i can never get enough it...by the way does anyone know what to do about puffy eyes??...as for your mom...all of em are worried about getting us married...dont worry too much about that...ur still young...as long as your happy and feel good..everything else is secondary in my opinion
