Comments (7)I had laser done years ago by a dermatologist who specialized in cosmetic procedures. My issue was crow's feet under my eyes which began developing in my 20's. She also did the eyelids for a little lift. It was one of the best things I've ever done for myself! I can't address bags/circles but hope you'll report what your derm says about it, as well as the results should you move forward with the procedure. I would have no qualms about having a derm do the procedure assuming they are board certified, have a lot of experience with the procedure, etc. I knew within just a few minutes of talking with her that she was the one I wanted to do it (the testimonials around her office from local and national celebs didn't hurt either:). She didn't push, just provided me with info and before/after photos of patients she had done the procedure on. She was wonderful!...See Morepermanent or removable fence?
Comments (10)Ducter: If you are making a straight fence it is MUCH MUCH easier than trying to make a curved fence that follows a curving perimeter of a pool. The fence I built around my current yard is straight on all sides so it was easier. With a straight fence you can stand at one end and sight down the fence and see any posts that are out of alignment. My advice? First drill all the holes. Unless you have REALLY soft soil, rent an auger from a local rental place. Second, cement your gate posts in place. You will really need to get the gate posts exactly alligned or the gate won't close properly. You can get a fence post level at any hardware store. It's a level that fits on the side of a fence post with a rubber band that measures plumbness in all directions. Or get a couple of carpenters levels and tape them to the posts so you can make the necessary micro-adjustments. The gate posts also have to be exactly the same height so put a board across the tops of the posts and make sure that is level too. When you are positive you have the gate posts properly positioned, cement them in place and let it harden for a day or two. While your gate posts are hardening you can dig the rest of your holes. Best way to lay out the fence is with string stretched from guide posts. When you have the posts all dug and the gate posts cemented in place the rest of the fence goes fast. Stretch a string along the ground about 6" high as your guide for the bottoms of the posts. I assembled a panel to a post and dropped it in the hole and then repeated for 5-6 sections so that each panel is attached to one post. You need 2 people to do this. Have someone standing down at the end of the row of posts sighting down your fenceline to make sure all the tops of the posts are perfectly aligned while the other person is adjusting each post up and down and side-to-side with the clamps and braces. If you have to raise one, drop a shovel of gravel into the hole and wiggle the post around to raise it up. Or pull some gravel out to lower it. Get a bunch of braces. 6' 1x2 furring strips work well. You can nail them to a small stake and pound it into the ground to have a secure brace, then use clamps to position the post exactly level. When you get a row of posts that are all perfectly positioned and braced and you are sure that the panels are all inserted fully into the posts then you can pour the concrete. Once the concrete is poured make one final check for alignment. Check that the bottoms are all along your string, that the tops are all lined up to your eye, and that they are all plumb. The concrete will harden fast. You don't have to worry so much about plumbness along the fence line, only side to side. The fence panels will level out the posts if they are all inserted properly. The pitfall is if you lay out a bunch of panels and posts and find later that the posts are spaced slightly too far apart so that the panels aren't inserted all the way. You can't scoot them closer together once you have the concrete in. If your yard is perfectly level it is easy. If your yard has contours then allow the fence to gently follow the contours. Don't try to measure it out, just use your eye to generate a pleasing contour to the top rail. If you have plenty of braces, clamps, and stakes then you can lay out quite a bit of fence and align it before pouring concrete. Don't try to follow every dip and bump in your yard. Smooth them out with gentle long curves in your fence. That looks much better. When you get to a corner post, make doubly certain that it is plumb in all directions. And let the cement harden on your corner post before continuing the next run. If your corner post is at all crooked it will mess up your entire run. Oh, you absolutely need a cordless drill for driving all the screws. For a 3 rail fence you'll be driving 6 screws per post and they are self-tapping screws so they need a lot of force to drive in. The last time I put in a fence I mixed up all the concrete diligently in a wheelbarrow and dumped it into each hole. This time I'm just going to dump the dry concrete into each hole, one bag per hole, pour some water in with a hose, and use a tamping rod like a 2x2 board to mix the water around and tamp down the concrete. That's what most fence builders do. The concrete job doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to anchor the post. Just make sure the top of the concrete is below the level of the ground so you can remove the fence later without needing to dig out the posts....See MoreRecommend a under eye concealer?
Comments (14)Boing eye concealer by benefit works well for me. The right shade is really important, IME. Too light makes things worse. I find a bit darker than my foundation is better than too light. http://www.sephora.com/boi-ing-indistrial-strength-full-coverage-concealer-P1273?skuId=1073980&om_mmc=ppc-GG_194585799_15762231519_pla-83842464039_1073980_50233217079_9029606_t&country_switch=us&lang=en&gclid=CIqMsLz3ydQCFYFqfgodzyILFw&gclsrc=aw.ds...See Morelemonspice
