Get rid of those tired eyes in a jiffy
Often we all have that tired, lack of sleep, excessive alcohol look in our eyes. More often than not that the ugly dark under eye circles also make an appearance in the day and walking into a meeting with this slightly hungover look is no fun.

In such a situation all I want is a pair of sunglasses for the day but it is not viable (or practical) to wear them in front of your boss! So here are few easy home remedy tips to get rid of those dark circles:
