If you’ve ever had your pupils dilated at the eye doctor and noticed your floaters suddenly shift, stretch, or speed around like they’re late to a meeting—you’re definitely not alone. I used to think it was just a side effect of the bright lights they use, but over time, I started noticing a consistent pattern….
So here’s the thing—I’ve always been a big fan of essential oils. Lavender in the diffuser before bed, peppermint when I have a headache, and even a little tea tree diluted for skin. But I remember one time, right after trying a new blend someone recommended, I noticed these weird little floaty specks in my…
Ever been in a dimly lit movie theater, just settling in as the previews start, and suddenly—there they are. Those squiggly, translucent threads or shadowy blobs floating across your vision.
