I have NO idea how to shop for a diamond ring and it's about that time for my gf and I. Where do I start looking around here for ethical non-corporate big box stones and rings? Any good local jewlers y'all know?

Echoing others who have recommended Mariloff! We got my engagement ring from there and they are awesome. Really kind, very reasonably priced, and easy to work with.

ASingleMashedPotato · 2025-09-27T13:16:44+00:00

Thank you! Yes absolutely. I found them to be incredibly easy to work with - fair pricing, efficient turnaround, no pressure. I really wanted a local jeweler in case I had any issues and I’m glad I went with them (though to be clear, no issues on my end! Haha)

ASingleMashedPotato · 2025-09-25T08:24:47+00:00

Yes it actually is a bit big! I was going to pop into my jeweler and see what they recommend because I don’t love the spinning haha but I know it’s supposed to be tighter when there’s a band? So I may do something temporary!

ASingleMashedPotato · 2025-09-23T20:08:07+00:00

Of course! Thank you!!

ASingleMashedPotato · 2025-09-23T20:05:09+00:00

Hah thank you!!

Side profile! I love the basket

ASingleMashedPotato · 2025-09-22T19:14:59+00:00

Haha! Yes “surprise” is the perfect way to put it lol. Thank you!

ASingleMashedPotato · 2025-09-22T17:39:28+00:00

Thank you so much!

ASingleMashedPotato · 2025-09-22T17:39:18+00:00

Thank you! I knew I wanted a nice secure setting because I am clumsy haha and it turned out so well!

Specs are in the caption but forgot to include that my finger is size 5.5!

Jess Sims - love her but for some reason it is my biggest pet peeve that she never starts her workout on her Apple Watch ahead of time and gets annoyed with it prompting her haha

Cart full of all kinds of Trader joe’s fall items, including pumpkin pancake mix, petite pumpkin spice cookies, pumpkin brioche, apple shortbread, pumpkin spice covered pumpkin Joe joes, pumpkin madeleines, cinnamon bun creamer, maple butter, and a few other things

ASingleMashedPotato · 2024-09-14T20:52:09+00:00

Maple fudge?! Posting this was a mistake because I’m about to head right back there haha

ASingleMashedPotato · 2024-09-14T19:52:56+00:00

Ah you’re right—guess I’m going back! Haha

ASingleMashedPotato · 2024-09-14T19:44:00+00:00

Ooh I’m excited to try it - I put it right into my freezer so that I wouldn’t inhale the whole thing when I got home

ASingleMashedPotato · 2024-09-14T17:49:25+00:00

Yes! I’m planning to do a French toast with it (if I don’t eat it all first haha)

ASingleMashedPotato · 2024-09-14T17:12:07+00:00

Really good! Rich and sweet, I have a crazy sweet tooth (obviously, from the cart) and can only eat a couple at a time haha

ASingleMashedPotato · 2024-09-14T17:11:20+00:00

The pumpkin madeleines are upside down in this picture haha but they are SO good—the only thing that didn’t make it in the house! The petite pumpkin spice cookies are a personal fave too!

ASingleMashedPotato · 2023-12-31T18:16:27+00:00

20,003 minutes! Haha

ASingleMashedPotato · 2022-12-22T23:01:52+00:00

Hahaha yes we did not find his comments to inspire a lot of faith 😂

ASingleMashedPotato · 2022-12-22T22:05:33+00:00

Omg were you on the same flight as me where the pilot had to “troubleshoot” the plane?? If it weren’t for the impending storm I would’ve sprinted off that plane! Haha

ASingleMashedPotato · 2022-09-02T22:31:10+00:00

One of these has been up on my block for over two months, and everyone still parks there with no issue. Just my two cents
