Why You Get Bags Under Your Eyes and What You Must Know About Baggy Eyes

In most cases bags under eyes are not serious, even though they have a negative effect on your appearance. But if the swelling is around the entire eye (referred to as periorbital puffiness) and is not due to an injury, it could be a symptom of an underlying illness or medical condition.


This article will help you identify what may be causing your baggy eyes. Then I'll show you how you can alleviate bags under your eyes, if not completely get rid of them.


Let's first find your cause of your eye bagginess and then find an effective solution. The goal is to have a healthy, smooth skin appearance on the face and the body.


**Mononucleosis Cause


In mononucleosis, the eye orbits become puffy and swollen. Usually, this occurs in the early stages of the infection. Other symptoms of mononucleosis include fever, weight loss due to loss of appetite and swollen lymph nodes.


**Hypothyroidism Cause


In hypothyroidism, the face becomes puffy and the orbits swell due to increased levels of hyaluronic acid. Low levels of hyaluronic acid typically accompany aging and have the opposite effect. Instead of being filled with fluid, the cells lose their moisture. The skin's layers start to sag as a result. Other symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, intolerance to cold, depression, joint pain and dry, itchy skin.


**Trichinosis Cause


Trichinosis is an illness caused by eating raw, infected pork. You would likely notice the fever and muscle pain, before you started worrying about periorbital puffiness.


If you have any of the other symptoms of the conditions mentioned above, see your doctor. If not, the cause of your baggy eyes could be any of the following:
? Allergies
? Excessive salt in the diet
? Alcohol consumption
? Cigarette smoking
? Fluid retention due to hormonal changes
? Sleeping too much
? Not sleeping enough
? Aging


Not sleeping enough is one of the most common causes, especially today. Fatigue and stress are common complaints. The whole thing can become a vicious cycle with stress making it difficult to sleep and fatigue causing even more stress.


Although everyone ages, bags under eyes are not symptoms that everyone experiences. Due to loss of hyaluronic acid, decreased collagen production, a general thinning of the skin's layers and gravity, the inferior (lower) orbital area can become very loose.


The skin in the periorbital area is thinner than on any other part of the body. The aging process can make it even thinner.


The loose skin in the inferior orbital area may feel with fluids. The fluids mostly leak from the fatty tissue layer through osmosis. If the area looks dark, the tiny blood vessels beneath the orbital skin may be leaking hemoglobin and waste products.


**Dark Circles


When baggy eyes are accompanied by dark circles, leaky blood vessels are the likely cause. Because the skin is very thin, the blood vessels are sometimes very noticeable. In most cases, the vessels are not visible. You can only see the fluids that leak from them.
Many people simply do not get enough nutrients in their diet. Stress and lack of sleep increase their need for nutrients, but they often eat the wrong foods, because they are tired and frustrated. It's another vicious circle.


Since there are so many causes, there is no short answer to how to get rid of bags under eyes. Another article is required to cover the subject completely. My next article will be devoted to the subject - How to Get Rid of Baggy Eyes. Please click the link in the resource box below for more information on How to Get Rid of Baggy Eyes.

Why Did My Woman Want to Breakup With Me?

Did your girlfriend or your wife tell you that she wants to break up with you and you just don't understand the reason why?


You feel that you've been playing your cards right so why did she dump you anyway. She gave you reasons that you find unacceptable and even illogical. Surely they are not grounds for splitting up.


Keep in mind that women are from Venus and men are from Mars. What may seem totally irrational to you makes perfect sense to her. In this article, you'll understand more about the reasons that your ex-girlfriend broke up with you.


There may be different reasons for her to call it quits but these are the usual ones. Most of the time, men often do not realize that they are adding bullets to her gun, giving her enough motive to "pull the trigger".


#1: You did not pay enough attention to her feelings.


A lot of women love the courting stage because this is the time when a guy showers her with all the attention and sweetness. If there is something she wants, he goes the extra mile just to make sure she gets her heart's desire. He is willing to "climb every mountain" so to speak just to make the woman of his dreams happy.


Sadly, this just doesn't last for very long.


Once you are already together, the situation is somewhat reversed, with the woman going through leaps and bounds to keep the relationship stable.


The valiant knight who once did everything to serve her is now acting like a king, giving orders and constantly taking. She may love you a lot but eventually, she would feel tired and weary doing all the work - all because you did not pay enough attention to her emotions.


#2: You may have been overly jealous and clingy.


Not allowing her to go out with friends without you, constantly calling and asking where she is and who she's with, getting angry when she doesn't report right on the dot about her whereabouts... all those things could add up and cause her to call it quits.


Compound it with unfair accusations when she hangs out with of her guy friends or sticking to her like glue 24/7 and you are slowly causing the demise of your relationship without even realizing it.


#3: Falling into a regular and constant routine may have caused your girlfriend to walk out on you.


Although a certain amount of stability is desirable in a relationship, too much of it can make it too utterly boring.


--> Love is exciting and invigorating.


The moment it becomes dull and boring is when love gets watered down. Doing the same things in the same way from the types of dates you have or the movies you watch are some of the telltale signs you must have missed out on, causing her to leave.


And of course, these are just the common reasons why your woman called it off and there are a lot more reasons beside these three depending on the circumstances and the relationship stage that you are in.


If you finished reading this article to find out the reasons your woman left you, 99% chances are you want to get her back in relationship with you. So, do you want to keep guessing if you still have a place in her heart and hoping she will come back to you? Or you can start learning and using the secrets from a relationship expert that can help you get your woman back for sure.

Why Is a Player Exciting - But Not Good For You?

A player. Just the sound of it already connotes danger. Yet, we, male or female, end up deliberately head over heels at these vicious creatures. Admit it. One way or the other, you've ended with a player hoping that one day, s/he will really fall for you and change for you - then got ripped to pieces. There are even times when you fall for the same player or tactic over and over again and yes, got torn over and over and over again. What's a player, anyway? Why is a player exciting? And, why is a player not good for you?
What's a player?
? A player is extremely adorable.
? S/He comes with such irresistible charm that is very difficult to repel.
? A player looks ravishingly gorgeous.
? His/Her looks are combined with flashy and expensive things.
? S/He seems to be very confident of him/herself.
? S/He is a smooth talker. S/He knows the right words to say and where and when to spill them.
? S/He is a pro when it comes to subjects like Seduction and Flirtation.
? S/He has a lot of fe/male friends and when they're around, you smell the stiff competition burning. It's in the air you breathe.
? To them, every single soul of the opposite sex whom they see fit is "the one." S/He might call you darling and you'd go giggling all day because s/he did. But take note of this, s/he is surely calling everyone else the same endearment.
? Your friends know. They will rub it onto your face. They will tell you that s/he is no good for you. That s/he will nothing but a future pain in the butt. But, since you are blinded by his/her perfect smile, shiny, perfectly cut and soft hair and mouth watering physique, you will not listen to them.
Why is a player exciting?
? Because of his/her good looks, s/he seems to be a real good catch. Who doesn't want to walk beside the most gorgeous creature on your side of the planet, right?
? S/He knows the right places to go.
? S/He may make you feel that you are the luckiest wo/man alive for winning his/her love and affection. And by feeling that you are so lucky to have him/her by your side, you get to be proud of yourself by winning such a wonderful prize.
? The competition is stiff. Even if you are the "it" guy/girl right now, that doesn't give you the assurance that s/he will always be by your side. That's why you keep on doing things which you believe are capable of making him/her stay.
? Making him/her happy is always like a prize you need to win.
? S/He exposes you to wonders you've never experienced before. These things make him/her more addictive as s/he can possibly be.
Why is a player not good for you?
A player is not good for anyone (for that matter) because a player is someone who is born to break people's hearts. No matter how hard you try, how much effort you exert, you will never be good enough. S/He will keep on looking around. S/He will keep on having affairs with others. A player takes pride of how many wo/men have cried over him/her. S/He will never take you as someone s/he will be with for the rest of his/her life. When someone better comes along, expect that you'll be ditched at any second - without a single drop of hesitation. You will always be a booty call no matter how sincere your love is for him/her. Falling for a player spells disaster.

Why Men Breakup With Women - Dirty Tricks Other Women Use to Steal Your Man

Did your boyfriend or husband recently break up with you for another woman? You checked her out and found out that she is not half as pretty as you are, her career hasn't fully taken off, she has pimples and she is way bigger than you are. You seem to be better than her in every aspect (in your eyes and your friend's eyes, of course) so why in the world did he choose her and breakup with you?

Why do men break up with women whom they have invested so much time and emotions on?

Man break up with his woman for many reasons but there are times when this is due to another woman. Her scheming and devious tricks worked its charms on your man and now he is all hers. What happened and how did she manage to destroy what seems to be a solid relationship?

The truth is, this other woman could not have won your guy over unless there is already an underlying problem in your relationship. She maybe a good seductress but no one is ever that good.

Ever heard the phrase, "men want their wife to be their mistress too"? This does not just refer to married couples because it can work for anyone involved in a romantic relationship.

The problem with girlfriends is that they can nag and yell and totally forget to express their gratitude and appreciation for their man. They imbibe a negative vibe without even realizing it.

Mistresses, on the other hand, are always just fun and gentle. They don't nag and neither do they yell. You may have played the role of the nagging wife so you pretty much handed your man over to the other woman on a silver platter.

In a relationship, you may have gotten too comfortable with each other that you have fallen into a routine that maybe okay at first but this gets dry, dull and boring pretty fast.

Do you do the same things when you go out on dates? Is your regular schedule movie and dinner for weeks at a time? Although there's nothing wrong with it, people can only have too much of a good thing. It's like having steak for dinner every night. It maybe flavorful and juicy but you'll get tired of it pretty soon.

The other woman offers new experiences, thus making her the more exciting option. This lure just might be too much for your man to endure and so she won him over.

Know how to make sure that your man never looks at another woman again by being a relationship expert. Know what makes him tick so he will be yours forever. Know how to improve your value and attraction so that your man will always be addicted to you. Do so by learning the secrets and tips as well as the tricks that other smart women are using to keep their men at home all the time.

You might love your husband or boyfriend very much but without the fun and excitement in the relationship, sooner or later your man will fall into an arm of other woman.

You Are a Sex Bomb Waiting to Explode! How to Bring Out Your Sexual Prowess and Change Your Marriage

People make the mistake of believing sexuality has got to do with talents, some people are not just gifted. However sex should be seen more has a task, it takes hard work to get it done well, you just won't achieve sexual pleasure by mistake, here are some tips to help you rediscover yourself sexually.

1. Prepare: are you a good cook? Sex is like cooking, every dish has a recipe, and no matter how good a cook you are if your dish is short of ingredients or has too much of a particular ingredient, your title as a good cook cant save the dish, if it's bad it's bad.

I have discovered that sex has to be well prepared to be enjoyed, if you decide to have sex every day, then you must prepare for it everyday, psychologically you have to prepare your mind as well as your spouse for it. I'm not saying you should write your spouse a formal letter stamped and sealed. But what I mean is you should prepare your partners mind, it could be an erotic text message, a horny phone call, or a simple short note, women find it difficult to just jump into bed and have sex, so prepare.

2. Get creative: Like I said sex is like food, a common excuse men give to flirt around is that they need a taste of variety, although I totally disagree because that's plain fornication, I agree that everyone needs a taste of variety. Can you try taking rice as breakfast, lunch and dinner for a week? Crazy isn't it? That's how sex gets when you are not creative. Always add a touch of spice to sex, always introduce something new.

3. Talk: make out time to talk to your spouse about your sexuality, always make sure the motive is to achieve a better sexual experience for a better marriage, and not to run down your partner or compare him to your ex. Talking can help you discover your partners g-spot, talk freely about sex often it helps you bond your relationship.

4. Research: No matter how creative you try to get, what you don't know, you don't know. Its really important that you should make constant research so that you learn new tips and tricks that will help you light up you sexuality as well as your marriage, read books, read articles, visit helpful sites and blogs dedicated to achieving great sex in your marriage all the best!

You Complete Me - What Does That Really Mean?

"You complete me". The famous statement made by Tom Cruise to Renee Zellweger in the movie Jerry Maguire has "messed women up!" according to Oprah.


I agree.


From my own personal experience and all the reading I have done on abuse as well as discussions and information I've been told I believe that statement is actually abusive, and this is why.


"You complete me" is not romantic, it's controlling. How? Well, now that person has made you responsible for their feelings and their well-being. It's a form of manipulation.


I remember my ex saying to me that he didn't like me talking to a business associate of his, someone he had introduced me to and whom he thought would help me in my career.


"I know what you are doing and I'm going to be watching you."


Watching me do what? I was doing nothing wrong but all of a sudden I started to question myself and his feelings became more important than my own. I wanted to make sure he felt safe, secure and loved in our relationship so I limited any other relationships that might cause him to feel otherwise. Well, there's really no end to that...soon it wasn't just business associates and co-workers, it was friends, family and students. Yes, even students. I remember one night I had dinner planned with one of my teenage students who was really struggling.


My ex and I got in a huge fight over that dinner because he did not want me to go. He said I couldn't save her and he needed me and if I went then I was telling him that she was more important than he was blah blah blah. May I point out, he's an adult and she is a child. I still went because that was clearly the right thing to do, but I paid dearly for it. He made my life miserable for months to come and still brought it up, right to the day we parted ways. Yes, no one in my life was safe from his insecurities and therefore, I became isolated.


Don't get me wrong, I take total responsibility for my actions. I allowed that manipulation to invade my life and erode my spirit. I allowed his voice to be louder than mine. I believed and lived the statement "you complete me". I was like so many other women who thought there was an element of love and romance in that. Somehow confusing control and abuse with love and care. Now, on the other side of it, I see clearly it was a way to control and manipulate. It wasn't about love at all.


"You complete me" meant that I had to now live my life filling him up, nurturing his needs and abandoning any self care of my own. There was no time; he was a full time job.


"You complete me."
Really? Well you deplete me.


It's true, having to constantly worry about whether he was feeling secure in the relationship (there was never an end to that because his insecurities ran so deep), whether I was doing something 'wrong' in his eyes, always guessing his moods, continually having to adapt to his new set of rules...it depleted me all right. I was exhausted, chronically depressed and emotionally drained. His support was control in disguise and his actions never matched his words. He lied regularly but still I filled his cup instead of my own.


Finally after years of this, years of trying to break free but always being too weak within myself to emotionally tear myself away, I finally built the strength to say...


"You complete me? Huh, that's too bad, because I delete you."


Are you sure you want to permanently delete this man? YES. And just like your folders on your computer, you now have a lot more space to fill with good stuff, positive stuff, nurturing stuff for yourself. You are free to fill your cup and so now


"I complete me"


That's a much better line, don't you think?


And now if you would like to continue being inspired and you are motivated to change your life go to http://www.the40by40.com/ where Tina openly shares her story and all the tips that can help you move forward with your life. Life is too short to be unhappy, especially if you can do something about it! You are worth it!
