It is allergy season. Things here in Florida are in glorious, full bloom. Of course, this means my nose it stuffed up and my eyes are red, swollen, and itchy. I enjoy the beauty all around me and think it is a shame that I feel sick throughout the best part of my favorite season.

Anyway, a lot of people put chemicals on and in their eyes to reduce puffiness. There are Visene drops for in your eyes and Preparation H under your eyes for puffiness. But, you do not have to use anything so complicated. You can simply put an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas over your eyes for about three minutes. It works better and it’s chemical-free!
