Eva’s Byte #528 – A Blessing in DisgEYEse
The revolting development of a stye inside the upper lid of my left eye put the kibosh on waving my magic mascara wand over my long, curly lashes. I not only tossed the tube, but got rid of a jar of cold cream makeup remover and a jar of night cream.
A stye can develop from bacterial infection at the base of an eyelash when one of the small glands lining the eyelid gets plugged. As suggested, applying a warm compress to the area helped to relieve the discomfort during the reddish swelling which lingered for a few days.
For years, mascara and lipstick have been my only go-to cosmetics. The stye may have vanished, but not my misgivings over applying mascara. Perhaps, this abstinence is a blessing in disgEYEse for warding off another unsightly and annoying infection.
Let’s face it, pun intended, I’ve subtracted two-three minutes from my morning grooming routine. I’m saving money by not spending any on mascara, cold cream, and makeup remover towelettes.
A New England summer with its fair share of heat and humidity is the perfect time for me to quit my addiction, cold turkey. I no longer have to check for smudges and rings around the eyes.
In the capacity of a writer drafting my Contemporary work in progress, I’ve split a chapter into two. Chapter 16 has 632 words. I’m at the tail end of chapter 17 (1519 words thus far).
*May each of us eliminate risks with potential to undermine our health and well-being.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
