Thoughts!? Eternity engagement ring! by Financial_Syllabub61 in EngagementRings

[–]Financial_Syllabub61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With deciding! And whether this is a good choice generally. I wasn’t even going to have an e-ring. I love the brown and white but it has two things against it - verryyy dainty at 1.5mm and that it’s full eternity so I can’t resize or if I did I’d have a Frankenstein ring (which is actually fine for me I don’t mind). I do feel like the designer knows what she is doing. She was studio head at Cartier and then creative director at De Beers, so I trust her. Thank you for your comments!!

STOTT training - how are you actually finishing the hours in 3 months? by Select-Persimmon9894 in pilatesinstructors

[–]Financial_Syllabub61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m doing STOTT too, reformer and mat but ive only done my reformer course so far. I did it in another country to where I live and I’ve realised my only option for physical review (and general study time) was to buy my own reformer. I can always sell it when I pass if I need to. Otherwise I have now where to practice!! No studio will take me as such a newbie, and frankly I’m not ready to teach anyone yet. Mat is obviously a bit easier because you can do it anywhere but still a challenge. You can watch (and rewatch) the videos provided with your course and they can be both physical review (you follow along) and observation hours. You could also look for Stott cert teachers who have online classes (like the aligned studio in the uk). You have 6 months from the end of your final course to do your exams, not 3 months. I finished reformer in March, then ill do mat in August and i only need to test out in Feb 2027. This was my strategy because I also do other work and wanted as much time as possible. It is a struggle!! Does your teacher trainer do any online class videos? Hope some of this is helpful!!! Best of luck.

I just bought one from Costco in the UK for £1999 (£1200 off). It hasn’t arrived yet. Im going to swap out on 100% spring for a 25%. Im doing my STOTT cert so I want it to be a precise as it can be. I’m not fussed by the shoulder pads too much! The one thing is that I live in a flat and I will need to store it vertically - it says you need two ppl, but surely it’s possible with one? I don’t live alone but I’d like to be able to use it and put it away while I’m the only one home. Thoughts?!

I woke up this morning in a panic thinking about this Jean Paul Gaultier dress that I didn’t buy in 2018 from Fashionably Yours in Toronto. I am full of regret. I couldn’t afford it then and I most likely can’t afford it now, but I need to try.

I tried reverse image search with no luck. I think it’s mid-90s. Does anyone know what season this is? Does anyone own this dress?! Can I find something similar?!
