1. Short and easy!

Sometimes we don't always to do the most when it comes to removing dark circles, so an easy way to get rid of these dark circles is by just using concealer. It is an easy cover up and easy to hid them with just a touch of make up.
2. Tea is key!

Tea bags help with removing dark circles! What I like to do is steep tea bags in hot water then let them cool and place them over my eyes for about 15 mins. Green tea contains caffeine which helps when it comes to making the blood vessels around our eye shrink which then helps reduce dark circles.
3. You need some milk!
GiphySo I have seen on tv that if you soak cotton balls or cotton pads in milk and place them over your dark circles it can help with reducing and getting rid of dark circles. Now, I don't know how true this is but I mean it wouldn't hurt to try.
4. Sweet Almond Oil!

According to Huda Beauty's blog sweet almond oil helps with the circulation of blood for your dark circles. Huda beauty suggest to put a small dab of sweet almond oil on your dark circles every night until you notice a difference.
5. Sleep is needed!
GiphyAn easy way for your dark circles to reduce is honestly just getting enough sleep! You may be noticing your dark cirlces because you are depriving yourself from sleep.. so get some sleep!!
6. Use lemons for your circles!
GiphyI know that lemons can help brighten skin(which should be done very carefully) but the if you really want your dark circles to leave I suggest mixing together just a little lemon juice and baking soda together.
It should have a paste consistency, let sit under your eyes for 15 then wash away. I would do this daily until I saw results, but if you notice any irritation to your skin I most defiantly would stop.
7. Rose Water loves skin!

Rose water loves the skin and really helps with dark circles. Rose water is high in Vitamin C which is good for the skin and dark circles. Make sure you get an all natural rose water.
8. Tomatoes!

I have read that lots of people use tomatoes to get rid of their dark circles. After researching I found that tomatoes have natural bleaching that can lighten the skin. Whenever it comes to lighting the skin for things like dark circles, I just say be very careful!
9. Cucumbers for the win!
GiphyWe all have seen people put cucumbers on their eyes. That is because cucumbers are natural antioxidants that can help remove dark circles. Pretty basic and easy!
10. Grab some turmeric!
GiphyTurmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps with dark circles, If you easily look up "Turmeric mask for dark circles" on Youtube for Pinterest you will easily find different mask that involves turmeric and help with dark circles.
There you go, dark circles are something that many struggle with but when handled the right way they can actually be very easy to get rid of.
1. Marriage
GiphyEvery girl has hopes on being married by the age of 25. It's not an unrealistic goal to be honest with you. Our parents were married and starting families either at our age or even younger. I know I was born when my mom was 25 so I feel totally behind in that aspect. It's normal to want the white dress, prince charming, and the killer bachelorette party...sadly for me it's not happening at 25.
2. Being a parent
GiphyThis one absolutely kills me. I won't lie, I can't wait to have kids of my own but first I need to navigate being a dog and cat mom without getting angry that it's -15 outside and my dog decided to pee in the apartment...ANYWAY. (Can you tell I'm not happy with Charlie at the moment?) *Insert eyeroll emoji* I am so over the moon excited for this phase of my life but being a teacher, I get enough kiddos to last me a while so I will wait on this one.
3. Finding a job
GiphyLord knows I didn't expect to be working THREE JOBS at 25 years old. I just wanted to be a teacher but real life smacked me in the face and I can barely live some months. It's hard, I don't get how my parents did it and honestly I need them more than ever now. I asked for help with bills for my birthday...WHAT. I never thought I'd do that, but I am very very thankful for a family that supports me.
4. I would be the center of a large friend group
GiphyWe always see girls with a GIANT friend group when they're older, but that isn't always reality. I thought when I turned 25, I'd have a squad of 15 girls to go out with, eat out with, go to the movies with but lets be honest...I have four. Sex in the City was right, it doesn't matter how many girls you have with you, it matters what kind of girls they are.
5. I'd have my dream closet
GiphyI am no where near an Instagram influencer or model but boy oh boy, by 25 you think you're going to be. I am still wearing shoes and jeans I had in HIGH SCHOOL. Clothes are SO expensive and lets be honest ladies, we are not the richest age group here. Some of us may be but a good 90% of us still shop at target and are happy to find things for $5 or less.
6. I'd be in a relationship
GiphyFOR REAL. I never expected to be single at 25. That is grandma age in the dating world and holy shit does it scare me. I am terrified to date because I don't want to date guys that are in their upper 20's or lower 30's, BUT I'm too old to date the 21-23 range now..What is a girl to do! I always figured I'd be in a relationship and happy by 25 or married or literally anything.
7. I wouldn't be living paycheck to paycheck
GiphyThis kills me. I can't count the times I have cried over this sad fact of life. It is so hard having 3 jobs and sometimes still barely scraping by month to month. I never dreamt that this would be my life. I LIVE for payday because then I know I can maybe go get groceries and such. I don't spend money on fun like I used to and it makes life kind of hard to do at times.
8. Student loans would be mostly paid off
GiphyThis was a goal...now it's a dream. BUT I did restart the goal to have all of my loans paid off by the time I am between 30-35! Gotta start somewhere right? I am lucky to not have a lot, but it's enough to make me freak out.
9. I would graduate college in four years
GiphyI didn't graduate until I was 23 almost 24 years old and that is okay. I thought I'd graduate in May of 2016 and then I'd be 22 and happy along the way teaching but plans changes, majors were added and life happened. I got my degree done and eventually walked across the stage 5.5 years later. I didn't think about it when it was all happening, but there is a reason it took me so long, I needed to figure out who I was and where I wanted to be.
10. I'd own a house
GiphyLETS GET REAL. We all want the white picket fence with two dogs, a husband and 2.5 kids. Did I think I'd have it all by now, 100%, do I? NOPE. I'm happy I don't own a home at 25, I am happy I just rent a tiny apartment for me and my animals. I love where I live, but I also can't wait to have this chapter and share it with someone.
11. Maybe even a newer car
GiphyI got my jeep as a high school graduation gift from my parents. I have NEVER had to make a car payment on it, it was a BRAND NEW 2012 Jeep Patriot that was all mine. WHOA. I will forever be lucky to have parents that made having a reliable car so much easier for me through my learning years. I want a new car, but my wallet says differently.
12. Again...I WOULDN'T BE SINGLE
GiphyStill single. It's fine..I'll just be here trying to figure out what I am doing so wrong.
13. I'd be saving more money for my future
GiphyGuys...I don't even have a savings account. WHO AM I. I don't make enough to have the luxury of creating that for myself. But look at how sad that last sentence was...why is it a luxury to have a saving account, why is minimum wage not high enough that people can have ONE JOB. Why don't we make enough to feel secure enough to put money away. WHY AMERICA.
14. My life wouldn't be such a mess
GiphyLord help me. My life is a literal tornado. On one hand, I am very thankful I don't have anyone to share this mess with; on the other hand...I NEED SOMEONE TO SHARE IN THIS MESS. It's so much to deal with that sometimes, I just don't know what to do!
15. I thought I would be in better shape
GiphyI am a work in progress. I thought I'd be in the best shape of my life...am I? Closer but not exactly where I want to be.
16 I'd like to think that if I had played my cards right..I'd be famous
GiphyYeah...This is a joke....I'm famous in Kim Kardashian Hollywood and that is good enough for me.
17. I'd only have ONE job
GiphyWe can all dream right? I am perfectly okay being busy all the time. I pay my bills, I sleep, I eat.
18. I figured I'd be done bartending by now
GiphyLOLOLOLOL. I actually love this job...but I mean I need to get real here. I want to be done so I an go to bed at 9pm on a Saturday.
19. But actually...it's been too long without me going out
GiphyLike I said...I really just want to be in bed by 9 every night.
20. My alcohol tolerance would be better
GiphyIt's not. I don't drink except for MAYBE once every 3 months and my tolerance is just sad.
22. I'd move closer to my parents
GiphyI hope to make this happen someday. I have lived 6 states away for almost SEVEN years now and I think I'm ready to be closer to them.
23. I'd be Miss North Dakota by now
Happy Beauty Queen GIF by Miss America - Find & Share on GIPHYGiphyTHIS YEAR IS MY YEAR. This year is my last year to compete for my dream job, maybe I needed to let god do his thing with time. Maybe I had to do some growing first, but whatever it is. THIS IS MY TIME.
25. And yet, I didn't think...
GiphyI'd have so many people around me that make me so happy. I really am blessed with so many amazing people in my life. I have finally let go of the negative energy that people bring with them and I am very happy with life.
1. Spongebob Squarepants
GiphySpongebob: "Hey Patrick"
Patrick: "What?"
Spongebob: "I thought of something funnier than 24."
Patrick: "Let me hear it."
Spongebob: "25"
3. Jimmy Neutron
GiphyCarl: "Hey, this astronaut food isn't too bad."
Jimmy: "That's toothpaste, Carl."
Carl: "Oh. Minty."
5. Hey Arnold!
Giphy[Arnold, sees Gerald praying]
Arnold: "I didn't know you were so religious. Gerald: Neither did I."
6. Codename: Kids Next Door
GiphyNumbuh 86: "Of all the stupid things in the stupid world of stupid people acting stupid, you boys are the stupidliest!"
7. The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
GiphyBilly: "Ask me a question. Give me a challenge."
Grim: "Who developed the theory of relativity?"
Billy: "That is a trick question, Grim; everyone knows fruit bats are mammals."
I definitely did not list all the great shows that we had back in the days, but I gave you all a good idea. By far, Tom and Jerry was one of my favorites because I thought it was so funny! I wish I can go back in time and relive my childhood memories. When we all had no worries and stresses. All we looked forward to was eating, sleeping, watching cartoons and playing outside.
