Cucumbers - good for what ails ya!

My eyes have been bothering me lately, itchy, sore, puffy, so I have always seen where they put Cucumbers on the lady's eyes at the spas, so I looked it up on line to see if there is anything to it.

And amazingly enough, cukes are good for you in all sorts of ways!

So I figured what the heck, and cut up two slices and put them on my eyes. They were a little stingy at first (but my eyes were very tender) I kept them on about 20 minutes, and by then my eyes actually did feel and look better.

Now there are quite a few GREEN benefits to cukes:

1. They cost a lot less then the stuff in the store
2. They are natural, no packaging to throw away
3. They are biodegradable
4. They taste good!

So go for the Green with a Cucumber!
