Results of the poll

The response to the poll about email subscriptions wasn't good at all. Only a few of you showed any interest. Nevertheless I'd like to thank those e-mail readers who actually managed to spare time to cast their votes. I hope a better response from you all the next time, and I'm sure you won't disappoint me.

The results of this poll do not in any way indicate the preferences of all e-mail subscribers because only 12 of you participated in it. 7 (58%) readers preferred weekly e-mail updates while the other 5 (42%) voted for daily updates. So the verdict is in favor of 'Weekly updates'. And henceforth you all will receive a weekly notification about new posts every Wednesday.

    I didn't respond to the poll because I check this blog several times a week when I open it with all my other bookmarked blogs in tabs :)

Natural remedies for dark circles around your eyes

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them!

Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion.
