I know it shouldn’t matter, but I care way too much about what other people think… and I’ve only ever gotten compliments on my pear ring. A nurse told me that she “sees rings all day everyday and she’s never commented on one for being so pretty” until she saw mine.

I really would like to consolidate down to 1 engagement ring and band. Do you like the oval or the pear?

I just got this in the mail!!! I plan to wear it by itself. It’s natural pink sapphires and natural diamonds in 14k yellow gold.

I only have white gold jewelry but I fell in love with this piece 🩷

It’s 14 karat yellow and white gold, natural pink sapphires and natural diamonds.

I haven’t seen a piece like this and I’d want to wear it everyday.

Does it look classy or costumey?

My hair right now was last partially highlighted 6 months ago.

Things I’ve implemented since growing my hair:

Blissy pillowcase
Microfiber hair towel
Silk scrunchies + claw clips
Protein and bond treatments
Braid for bedtime
Hair serums + oil
Keto shampoo

Currently a group buy for this beautiful bracelet. The text can be customized to anything but I’d be too nervous it won’t look good upon completion to change it.

Thinking of ordering it as is. I’m a dog mom to two girls and one angel boy. Think it’s still okay for me to wear this daily?

An online jeweler is taking orders for this MAMA bracelet. The text can be replaced with anything. I am only a dog mom and was thinking of getting my husbands first name initial, and then my 3 dogs. Would it be silly?

Sooo tempted by the group buy for this bracelet. But I am a mama to only dogs 🐶🐶🐶

Is it cheesy to get my own first name? Or does anyone have other suggestions? Maybe wedding date?

It’s been 1 year and 4 months since we lifted you up to the rainbow bridge. I wish I could say that time heals all wounds but it does not. Time just passes. I think of you every single day. That first day, I counted the hours since you left and then I would stare at the clock for 3:18 every day. I did this for a week and half before I forced myself to stop. The loss was crushing. It did not feel real. How could you be here every day, by my side and then gone from this earth? At first I would look at the thousands of photos I had of you just to see your face again and know you were real. Then the photos just made me sad. I would go days without seeing your face. And I would work up the strength to sneak peaks at the photos because I missed seeing you infront of me but seeing you just made me sob. I cried so hard I couldn’t catch my breath, gasping for air and I would panic, wondering if the tears would ever stop. The tears do stop eventually. You feel no relief, only defeat.

Now I mostly shed a few tears in the quiet moments. I speak your name out loud every day but it sounds different in my ears. Like a word without a home. Hollow. My phone shows photo memories randomly and it’s almost beautiful and tragic how I can see the difference in myself with you and after you. I had such peace and joy because you were my peace and joy. Now I am still happy but I will never be fully whole again.

I am so eternally grateful to have been your dog mom. Your love gave me purpose when I had none. We grew up together and you taught me the true meaning of family and friendship. I miss the quiet, ordinary moments. How whenever you entered the room, you’d have to sit or lay down touching me. You would fall asleep on me and I’d be stuck and refuse to get up and disturb you. You would howl and run around frantically when I got home on my lunch break to feed and potty you. I miss covering you during rain storms so you didn’t get wet and I’d be soaked. I miss hearing you snore like a chainsaw and me gently waking you so I could get some sleep. I miss smelling your frito toes. I miss that period of life when it was just you and me and crappy rented apartments. We always had each other.

You were the best big brother to your two dog sisters. You shared in buying houses and big moves, a wedding, and adopting another dog sister. 16 years was a long time but it’d never be enough.

The next time we see each other, it will be the greatest day of my life.

I’ve been growing out my hair for the last few years and I wash my hair 3-4x a week. I always use Dove Bond Strength mask or Unove protein mask (and never conditioner). And K18 leave in once a week. I came across this TikTok and allll of the comments were saying to only use protein or bond masks once every week or two weeks or your hair will dry out and snap off from protein overload. I know hair care isn’t a one size fits all, but should I be doing less masks and add in conditioner? My hair is naturally wavy and I get highlights once every 6 months. No heat tools.

Anytime I try to do makeup different than my usual look, it turns out lack luster or not flattering.

I want to have more fun with makeup and do bold looks. I have brown lip liners and darker lipsticks sitting unused. And I haven’t done a smokey eye in decades.

Tell me how to get out of my basic beat!

5 year wedding anniversary is next year! Maybe a honker marquise???

I spent like 40 minutes doing my makeup and it just looked like nothing special. No compliment from my husband either 😡

I tried a brand new eyeshadow palette, blush, and highlight combo. Maybe I shouldn’t have tried all new products in one go? What can I do better? I’d like to my eyes pop more! I don’t have the skill for false lashes.

Edit: I do usually part my hair down the middle and have bangs to either side. I don’t know why I chose my birthday dinner to try new things 🤣🤦‍♀️
