Hi! My bestie is getting engaged and her future fiance asked if I could help him research jewelry stores around us. He wants to find one that’s family owned not Kay Jewelers or anything. We are in Mesa, AZ. Anyone have any suggestions?!!

So I’ve been with my boyfriend a year and a half. We’ve been talking about engagement and marriage for a very long time now. We live together as well. The ring has been bought it is here - I accidentally saw it in the closet. I have MAJOR anxiety issues bc of past trauma. He knows this and tries to support me and reassure me as best he can. He ended up confirming the ring is here and got here end of last month - but I kinda figured bc he was being weird with the mail. I cutely asked him if a tiny hint and he said he “Would like to do it this month (June)” and “wants to do it sooner than later.” I’ve waited a lifetime for this I’m 33 years old and he is 29. I’ve been extremely patient even though it’s super hard lol. We’ve had so much going on this month so far. However this next weekend the 20th so far I know of nothing going on. However what is causing some anxiety for me is - I’m not “seeing” any hints or him acting weird or anything so far. And I’ve waited 5 months now for this. I’ve told him how hard this is for me - because it is and I don’t do well with uncertainty and he understands but he is also trying to “protect the surprise”. However I’m worried I’m going to be waiting longer than I can handle at the moment. Can anyone give me some advice or talk me down? I promise I don’t mean to be this way. It’s just so hard to know the ring is in the closet and I’m still waiting and idk what for

Hi! are there any riders in here from AZ?? I’m still learning and my bf is teaching me. But I am so anxious and scared - I can barely go 8 mph in a parking lot. Going straight is fine at 14mph. But turns scare me. It would be amazing if I could find a fellow woman rider to maybe help me out? Idk I’m just trying to get more confident and not be so afraid. But my anxiety is getting the best of me and it sucks

So I’ve been practicing almost every weekend with my boyfriend and his friend. I bought my bike in February and am finally learning. I have a Honda cb300r. They have been a great help in teaching me. I’m working on going about 10-15mph right now in parking lots and turning. Haven’t gotten to gear shifting yet. But my anxiety is high, my overthinking is high. I’m trying so hard to be okay and to say “I’ll be okay” and “I can do this”. But I get really anxious and scared. Especially through turns. Idk HOW NOT TO BE. I’ve never in my entire 33 years of life ridden anything faster than a horse and I did competitions for 16 years. This is way different. My bf says to “turn off my overthinking and tell myself I can do it” - it’s not that easy. I can’t turn this off. He is trying to push me a little bit to get me out of my comfort zone but I’m not ready. I literally at the end was just going slow. I was so discouraged and disappointed in myself. Idk how to be okay. Idk how to trust this. Anyone have any advice?

Hey ladies! Does anyone know any good brands for jeggings or jeans for motorcycle riding? Something comfy and high wasted? And any sweatshirts too please ☺️
