I'm trying to experiment more with my jewelry. I have always liked beaded jewelry, but I didn't think it was age-appropriate when I was younger. (I found it was mostly worn on older women.) I would like to buy a beaded necklace or two, but I don't want it to look cheap, tacky, or make me look older. What are some general guidelines to avoid this?

I'm thinking:

-only natural gemstones
-either neutral colors or soft tones
-smaller bead size (like maybe 6-8mm)
-maybe a shorter length would look better (16" instead of 18")
-sterling silver findings (no plated gold)

Do you agree with this? Do you have anything else to add? Any photos of a qualifying piece?

I wear mainly neutrals and some blue and I am very fair and cool-toned. What color(s) do you recommend?

Also, if you have any store recommendations, please share!

I'm looking for inspiration! I want to buy a new handbag, mainly for clothing-shopping and running errands (grocery store, etc.). I've had a look at a few handbags, but they're either too big, too small, low quality, too dressy, too casual, don't have straps, etc! I'm curious as to what others use (mainly for shopping/errands). Bonus points for pics!

I am taking the Business – Accounting Diploma program at AC. I am taking 3 courses (online) each semester. I’m trying to choose the courses in a way that there is only one difficult/time-consuming course per semester, and preferably the other two courses would be easy-medium difficulty. So far, here are the courses I have completed, along with their difficulty level:

-Financial Accounting I, II, and III: fairly difficult/time-consuming, especially III
-Business Computer Applications: easy
-Spreadsheet Applications: easy
-Business Fundamentals: fairly easy
-Communications I: material was fairly easy BUT assignments were time-consuming

For anyone who has studied this program, from the remaining courses, if you could tell me how you found the difficulty/time-consuming level for any or all of them, it would be greatly appreciated! (I know each course has hours stated on the website, but I didn’t find this very accurate so far.) I do realize everyone is different, but if 10 people say one course is particularly difficult, then that would be a great indication. 😄

Here are the remaining courses:

-Basic Business Mathematics
-Economic Issues
-Communications 2
-Finance
-Management Accounting 1
-Introduction to Personal Taxation
-Accounting Software Applications
-Payroll and Compliance
-Management Accounting 2
-Audit Principles and Business Issues
-Integrated Accounting Practice
(Plus 2 electives)

Thanks in advance!
