Be Awake without Waking Up

Growing up with three older sisters was never easy when I was young. I felt like I was constantly trying to be like them, meaning, I was slathering on makeup at the age of 6 and trying to get on the bus thinking I looked as pretty as my teenage sisters. Luckily, my mom didn't ever let go to school with my artwork on my face.

But, now that a few years have past, and I've learned how to properly use mascara and eye shadow (more or less), it's amazing having older sister's to look up to and visit. What's even more fun is when they start to have families of their own. Two of my older sister's have babies in their family- one with a baby boy and the other, a baby girl. I'm lucky enough to be an aunt of the two adorable babies, who gets to come over to babysit and play without dealing with the pain of those late nights. 

Currently, my sister Meghan and her husband are the ones dealing with those kind of late nights, with their 4 month old, Emma. While there is no way I can completely relate, I know how obvious those all-nighters studying show on my face- whether it's the baggy eyes or the zombie-like complexion, it's usually pretty obvious when I don't get a good night's sleep. As a little Christmas surprise, I gave Meghan the Enza Essentials Eyebright Eye Gelee and Hydra Gel in hopes that this would help her look and feel a little more awake after those late nights. 

After about a month of using them, she said the Eyebright Eye Gelee really relieves the bags under her eyes and it does make her look more rested, even when she doesn't feel it. She added that the Hydra Gel helps her skin feel less dry and even seems to brighten up her face after using it in the mornings. Of course, as Emma gets older, Meghan is beginning to get a little more sleep at night, but nevertheless, she says the products really have been a quick, easy way to "wake up" in the mornings!
