Ditch Dark Circles

Though dark blue shadows under your eyes can make it appear as though you haven't slept in weeks, lack of slumber isn't their only cause, says New York City dermatologist Gervaise Gerstner, M.D., who explains the sometimes surprising reasons they occur—and what you can do about them.

The basic facts
The skin under your eyes is thin and fairly translucent, which causes the blood vessels in this area to show through and give off a dark, bluish cast. To compound the problem, the fat pads that surround your eyes—and the muscles that hold them in place—sag as you get older, exacerbating the effect.

What to look for

* A family history Shadows under the eyes are often hereditary.
* You’re not getting your zzz’s This slows your circulation, making your skin look
paler and dark vessels more pronounced.
* You have allergies When the body is fighting off an allergen, the veins under the
eyes dilate and become darker.
* You’re often bloated If you smoke, drink alcohol excessively, or eat a lot of
processed foods—which tend to be loaded with sodium—the blood vessels under your
eyes can swell with fluid and look more prominent.
* You’re always rubbing your eyes The stress of constant pressure in this area can
cause capillaries to break, which results in a bruise-like hue on the surface of
skin.

Simple solutions

* Use an eye cream with vitamin K This minimizes clotting, helping to lighten blood
vessels. Try Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue ($100; peterthomasroth.com).
* Cover eyes with chilled black tea bags The cool water and caffeine combo
constricts vessels and lessens blue tones.
* Camouflage shadows Try using a sheer concealing cream that has yellow tones to
mask dark circles. We like Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener ($32;
bobbibrown.com), which comes in four shades to suit everyone.
* Sleep with your head slightly elevated You’ll prevent fluid from collecting under
your eyes, which creates shadows.
* Drink enough water Staying hydrated will plump the under-eye skin and help obscure
blueness.

LIFE PATH NUMBER

The Life Path Number

What is Life Path Number?

The Life Path is the sum of the birth date of an individual. This number represents who you are at birth and the native traits that you will carry with you through life. The Life Path describes the nature of this journey through life.

How to find the Life Path Number?

This is a number that is derived from all the numbers in your birth date. The Life Path number is established from the date of birth. First, convert the month to a single number, then add this individual digit, the birthday, and the individual digits of the birth year. The individual digits are again added together, as necessary to reduce the sum to a single digit 1 through 9, or to the numerology "master numbers," 11 or 22. These master numbers are not reduced any further.

Example: Date of Birth: February 8, 1939 (2-8-1939). Add the month (2) to the day (8) plus the total of the digits in the year (22). The total comes to 32. Then add this number together. 3+2=5; the Life Path Number is 5.

The Life Path 1 drive in this life is characterized by individualist desires, independence, and the need for personal attainment. The purpose to be fulfilled on this Life Path is that of becoming independent. This is a two part learning process; first, you must learn to stand on your own two feet and learn not to depend on others. After you are indeed free and independent, you must learn to be a leader. Many of our Generals, corporate leaders, and political leaders are men and women having the Life Path number 1. The 1 always has the potential for greatness as a leader, but they may fail as a follower. Many 1's spend most of their lives shaking off their dependent side.

You have very strong personal needs and desires, and you feel it is always necessary to follow your own convictions.

Although you may hide the fact for social reasons, you are highly self-centered and demand to have your way in most circumstances.

Negative Traits : When the 1 Life Path person is not fully developed and expressing the negative side of this number, the demeanor may appear very dependent rather than independent. If you are expressing this negative trait of the number 1, you are likely to be very dissatisfied with your circumstances, and long for self-sufficiency. This is defined as the weak or dependent side of the negative 1 Life Path. On the strong side of this negative curve, the 1 energy can become too self-serving, selfish and egotistical. Over-confidence and impatience mark this individual. Top
