The weekend can take a toll on your eyes. Smoky clubs. Lots of drinking. Late nights. By Sunday your eyes are looking redder than Carrot Top after a day on the beach. And you're dragging more ass than JLo. (I know, two bad celeb references.)
For years, club kids and college students in Japan and the UK have been using Rohto V (pronounced row tow vee), eye drops to lose the red, soothe tired, partied-out eyes, and get a caffeine-like jolt at the same time.
The drops come in three strengths, Cool, Ice (which also soothes itch, irritation and burning), and their newest one, Arctic, which administers the highest level of their signature menthol-like "cooling sensation" felt when the drops hit your eyes.
Yup. Menthol-like drops. For your eyes. Sounds insane, but actually doesn't sear your retina like you'd think. And it's that ingredient that gives the "jolt" users call eye-drenaline.

Instead of shopping all day the Friday after Thanksgiving, head over to a Gold's Gym near you and work off those calories you packed on the day before.
Participating gyms will open their doors all day to anyone who wants to work off the mashed potatoes and stuffing. Some locations are planning to run the free workouts through the weekend. All you have to do is walk in and say you want your free workout, but as with anything, some restrictions may apply. (I'm pretty sure if you show up wheezing and dragging an oxygen tank behind you they may turn you away.) Who knows, you might end up liking it.
There's more than 500 locations nationwide. To find one near you go to
