When it comes to the best eye creams, it's literally all about the selection of premium and clinically proven, proprietary ingredients that make them so effective. The leading cosmetic companies have gone to much trouble spending millions upon millions of dollars-in an ongoing effort-to research develop the latest and greatest cosmetic technologies so that they can offer a truly revolutionary eye cream that fully delivers. And, one that will not cost the individual consumer an arm and a leg when they reach the checkout counter.
Over the past ten years, the research of the leading companies that make the best eye creams have yielded some fantastic results, which have allowed them to develop and patent clinically proven ingredients that work quickly to heal the skin around the eyes without causing any side effects and without requiring a prescription from a doctor. This allows for any consumer to enjoy the myriad of benefits offered by the leading eye creams without having to resort to dangerous injections or costly spa treatments.
The Importance of Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
These two popular ingredients are very important in maximizing the effectiveness of any eye cream; and they tend to only be found in the very best eye creams. Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 are delivered to the targeted areas of the skin using potent moisturizers. They work to increase and boost the growth of the connective tissues while naturally increasing the production of collagen in the skin. Essentially, these two wonder ingredients can help to revitalize the skin, restoring it to a more youthful and suppler nature. Collagen is like the body's natural skin maker, it helps to keep skin firm and smooth. When the production of collagen is increased, the skin can easily heal and rejuvenate.

True love--that is, unconditional love--is such a puzzle for so many of us. We give it names like agape or grace, and think it is reserved only for a certain few or that it is so rare that we have little hope of ever finding it.
Yet true love displays many of the same characteristics as the lighthouse, which is neither rare nor all that hard to locate.Indeed, the lighthouse nearly always stands on an elevated promontory, deliberately exposed to all on sea and land. Everyone is supposed to see (and hear) the lighthouse; otherwise it could not fulfill its purpose.
The mission of the lighthouse is to guide us through perils. Night and day, in any kind of weather, its steady light rotates in every direction--360 degrees--illuminating the safe harbor to travelers on sea and land. When fog shrouds its beacon, the lighthouse still shines and adds a loud horn to make sure all those within its range get the message.
Notice a few things about the lighthouse. First, its beam falls on everyone alike. Pilgrim or pirate, saint or sinner, it does not concern the lighthouse. Its rays are available equally to all, without any kind of condition or limitation. The only step they need take is to keep open their eyes (and sometimes ears). It is always their choice.
Second, the lighthouse does not demand that travelers pay heed to its warning. It does not uproot itself, wade out into the ocean, take a ship by the prow, and insist that the vessel steer toward safety. The lighthouse, by its very nature, sets the example of the "tough love" that respects others' free will to follow their own spiritual paths.
Even if a million ships pass by without attending to the lighthouse, it does not become discouraged or start to think that there is no value to its purpose. It keeps shining its light because eventually, someone will notice and will avoid danger thanks to its illumination. That is true faith.
Third, the most brilliant part of its own light falls on the lighthouse itself, demonstrating that light--and love--are a two-way street, to the benefit of both the recipient and the giver. This is perhaps the hardest lesson of the lighthouse-that giving unconditional love (light) to others is not meant to be a painful sacrifice. We deserve to receive as much love as we lavish on others.
So what does the lighthouse teach us about true love? That we all deserve it, no matter who we are or what we have done. That we cannot force our love/light on others because doing so violates their free will. As puzzling as it may seem, others have the right to reject our light/love. And, last but by no means least, that we merit our light/love as much as anyone else to whom we give it.
These are deceptively simple lessons. Simple in this case should not be equated with easy. Most of us have a tough time understanding these lighthouse teachings at even the most basic level. We hoard our love and refuse to give it to certain people or groups. We foolishly rush in where angels (lighthouses) fear to tread because we lack faith in others' free will and thus are certain we know best for them. Or we try desperately to give love while insisting that we are not worthy of it, and giving then hurts because our own cup of love is bone dry.
Yet true love--lighthouse love, unconditional love--is the simplest of all love. Perhaps that is precisely why we don't get it. We're so accustomed to complexity that we discount the validity of anything so utterly simple.
Since complexity doesn't seem to be working for us, why not give simplicity a go? Let's simplify our love and look to the lighthouse as the example of how true love really works for others--and for us.

If you have read my previous article regarding what is Fantasy; you know that I define all things written, by their disconnection from reality. Fantasy fits under Speculative Fiction; which is the longest leap away from reality. However, Fantasy, despite what many think, is actually a broad genre and read far more often than many people thing. What most people consider as 'Fantasy' is better termed as 'High Fantasy'.
High Fantasy is a Sub-Genre that is known both not only for its quality and singularity of content, but indeed, its often noted for the quality and style of the actual literature. I define High Fantasy as any fantasy involving an epic conflict, and an equally epic history (termed a Mythopoeia). Often; these books are also noted for a supernatural factor, and a setting which is pre-industrial.
So what do I mean by Epic Conflict? In High Fantasy; the heroes are often pitted and arrayed against forces that threaten a nation, the whole of existence, a religion, or some other great task. Their quest, the battles they fight, take on the utmost importance, because if they fail; it means the end of not only them, but most likely everyone they have loved or cared for. Often, these conflicts are against a humanoid player for an antagonist, but sometimes not. For example, a lone sorcerer trying to end a magical drought that threatens to kill of humanity...is an epic conflict.
In addition, High Fantasy is defined by a back story that far surpasses the back cover of a book. JRR Tolkien, for instance, wrote quite a few pieces which he carefully used to craft his Mythopoeia (a term which he coined). He developed not only back-stories for his main characters, but back-stories for his minor characters, maps, histories of entire nations and peoples...he even went so far as to craft written languages for each of his major races. This sort of dedication not only builds a dedicated fan base, but is often a good source for future stories and works, and will make a work seem that much more 'complete'.
As I mentioned, often times the stories take place in a pre-industrial setting, and feature a supernatural factor (such as magic and wizardry). These elements are essential for the item to be defined as High Fantasy, instead of a subset of another Genre, for these factors (and indeed the Mythopoeia itself) help define that this world which we are experiencing is not our own.
Lastly, stylized narrative is very much apart of High Fantasy, as crucial as anything listed above. Given the amount of time and dedication spent to develop the world, equal parts of time and dedication are given over to make the narrative poetic yet enjoyable. This also goes hand in hand with the development of a Mythopoeia; as the writer is responsible for the poetry and language of the people he has Created.
Basically, what most people imagine and more, in fact, High Fantasy. Fantasia is still high can be mixed with other elements. But of course it is all his own letters.
