Having dark circles under your eyes might be trendy now.
Earlier this year, a TikToker with three million followers named Sara Carstens did a make-up tutorial where she added extra shading under her eyes.
It went viral, so other people started doing it. And now a bunch of news outlets like Yahoo Style are saying that dark bags are suddenly en vogue.
Is it actually true though? It kinda seems like the real trend is for young, fresh-faced people to make themselves look exhausted. So your authentic undereye bags might not get the same reaction.
But some folks online are pushing to normalize the look, and get people to stop covering them up with concealer.

2% of people have already finished their Christmas shopping. You're all overachievers and we kind of hate you (and envy you at the same time.)
Another 5% said they're mostly done shopping.

A 43-year-old guy named Matthew Huber got arrested for trying to break into someone's truck outside a Walmart in Vero Beach, Florida on Tuesday.
And he told the cops he was looking for stuff to steal because he needed money to see his imaginary girlfriend again.
The girlfriend's name is Emma and he said he only sees her when he's on meth. So he was looking for stuff to steal, so he could sell it and use the money to buy more drugs.
He's facing a felony charge for burglary. Plus another charge for carrying a concealed weapon while committing a crime, because he had a knife on him.

October marks the start of "cuffing season," where single people pair up for a few months before ending their relationship in the spring. Here are some tips to help you decide if cuffing season is worth your time.
1. Figure out what you want. Be honest with yourself about what you want, and whether a temporary relationship will be fulfilling. If you want something long-term, cuffing season probably isn't for you.
2. Consider just how deep you're willing to get. Since there will likely be an expiration date on your relationship, check in with yourself and the other person on how things will work. Will you bring them around your friends? Your family? There's no right or wrong answer, but you should be on the same page.
3. Don't let the pressure get to you. It's a bad idea to cuff up with someone just because you're super lonely or because you don't want to deal with your nosy family members bugging you about being single at Thanksgiving.
4. Check in occasionally. Even if you're both totally upfront about wanting a short-term thing going in, at some point, the line between "casual fling" and "taking it to another level" may blur. Checking in with them once in a while will help make it so things don't get too awkward.
