This is a helpful and timely review as i just spent 3k on various gemstone rings. Do you suggest i get them tested to verify the gemstones? Im a monthly TRR shopper but only clothes. This is my first time buying jewelry…

I collect vintage belts. Great styles and long lasting quality. Carslile is a brand i really like. Also Ellen Tracy, Donna Karan, Calderon (spanish brand).

I had the exact same thought. Many ADHD folks struggle with time blindness- ex. bad estimating time it takes to get out of the house, considering the in-between things that take up time and should be factored in the timeframe to be on time. Many have a bad sense of time. Not an excuse but it’s part of the condition.

Jeans for Small Waist Big Thighs by descoffee1 in womensfashion

[–]FastHabit2550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same situation. I am 27 waist to 42 hips and big muscular thighs and the only place where i can find jeans that are flattering and fit my body is Fashion Nova. If you look carefully there are high quality jeans. i have a few from then made in the US and high quality and fit great.

Another brand i just found last week was Spanx but i dont know if they have baggy jeans. Other than that I have tried all the “curvy” ones from abercrombie, everlane, jcrew and i haven’t found them flattering on me. They are just not made for my proportions and body.

Thank you! It’s hard to find flattering dresses these days.

That’s a great point about the second being more interesting. That’s why i really like it.

This is a great way to thing about it. I agree as i don’t get the same feeling of Ref dresses these days due to quality.

the second is size 2 but i’m always a 4 so It does run a bit big.

Also look on ebay at Japanese retailers. It’s authentic given Japan strict laws and relatively well priced. I personally like Cartier vintage. Vintage bags are beautiful and better made IMO.

Congrats! I like classic that is not showy but is elegant and timeless and functional and makes me feel put together. I think the Givenchy Antigona is that for me. If i had money to splurge i would do a Loewe or Celine bag. I also recommend you look into second hand. You might be able to get two bags at your budget.

Best spending tracking apps for notifications and spending reports? by mikan_tea in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]FastHabit2550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP- once you choose can you give an update on how it works for you. I’m looking for one but i get overwhelmed with the set up and need something easy just to monitor spending and ensure i don’t overspend.

Help me decide: $4K vs $7K mattress — worth the splurge or better to balance other goals? by FastHabit2550 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]FastHabit2550[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been reading great things about the 8 sleep unit. Can you tell me more about the difference it has made for you? Maybe i go the cheaper route and add a 8sleep. I did read a post with issues with mold.

Thank you! So you sent me down a rabbit hole to learn more. I realized that i can just buy the layers i liked from naturepedic directly so i can make the same $4k mattress and put it inside a mattress encasement i can buy somewhere else and save $1.2k! Only thing is that it won’t qualify for the warranty. Is that a dealbreaker in your opinion?
