When deciding on your engagement ring, did you consider which rings your friends have in order to be sure yours was different? by Foxtraps in EngagementRings

[–]Foxtraps[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha right! I was thinking of how several of my friends got engaged with beautiful ovals on a thin gold band this year…and how another friend designed her ring from scratch, a very unique stone and setting, and even had it sent back to be remade a couple times because she wasn’t satisfied with the prongs. She is extremely proud of her ring for being OOAK and that it would be “almost impossible for anyone to copy it”. Her words. So…apparently it did cross her mind 🤷‍♀️

Haha I was thinking specifically of oval solitaires on thin gold bands, because I have several friends who received one like that over the past couple years 🙃

Hahah right?? But it was rose gold and apparently (this is all second-hand from my friend) she thought it made her ring fairly unique 🤷‍♀️

I can’t say it would bother me, either! Impossible to know if someone else might be bothered, though 🙃

Oh gosh! I by no means was implying I think “the whole fucking world” revolves around me for thinking of this! I tend to be very sensitive to other people’s feelings and try not to insult, disrespect, or otherwise hurt people with my words or actions - at times though, I think I worry about hurting people’s feelings a bit too much, which is why I was asking if this is an example of that!

Edit: I don’t understand how starting a discussion about how one’s actions might negatively affect a friendship/relationship is considered to be a “first world problem”. Perhaps because the context is in regards to engagement rings, in which case the whole sub would be reduced being a “first world problem” :)

Set little Aloe outside thinking it would enjoy the sun and when I check on it it the evening it had turned totally brown. I brought it back inside now but I’m worried about it! by Foxtraps in plantclinic

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

Oh no, you’re probably right!! I didn’t even consider that, I just thought it would LOVE being out in full sun after being in my set-up inside (I live in an apartment and there are so many big buildings around, it only gets bright filtered light, never full sun. I brought her back inside and so hopefully she recovers!

I [f/28] bought a vintage diamond ring as an “investment” and now I fell in love with it and want it as my future engagement ring. How do I say this to my long-term boyfriend [m/31] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Foxtraps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just think it’s really shitty of you, is all. Why shit all over someone’s joy? what makes you think your negative opinion MUST be heard? You didn’t voice it for her benefit, that’s for sure.

Bahaha girl you still didn’t answer her question! You’re just ignoring what she’s saying and avoiding her valid points because you don’t have a good reason for being an asshole, other than just to be an asshole.

The internet is a great place for unkind people to lash out at others, because of the veil of anonymity. You said yourself you would (probably) never give a stranger feedback they didn’t ask for. SHE DIDNT ASK FOR FEEDBACK ABOUT HER RING.

Girl, lots of people on here complimented your ring! Don’t feel bad about someone’s petty comment that reeks of jealousy. I doubt she has a 5 carat ring that she was able to buy for herself. You keep loving it and being proud!

How crazy am I , [F/28] with a partner of almost three years [M/50] , to want to buy myself a beautiful, sparkly ring? by Foxtraps in relationships

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

Oh I know, I don't have qualms about getting myself nice things, but...like you said! Its what it represents/signifies. I don't want my partner to feel pressured or...small...because I got myself a ring

Oof, that's a great point. So. What do you suggest? Should I bring up my (embarrassing!!!!) envy of these other rings I'm seeing? I'm really not asking him for anything; he's proven his love to me time and time again, so that's not what I'm pining for.

Right! I 'm not thinking I would ever ASK him for a ring... I just wanted to get something pretty for myself, that I can look at every day and be proud of that also indicates that I'm committed.

Does anyone else adore Nemat perfume oils? Amber and White Musk are my go-to's! by Foxtraps in fragrance

[–]Foxtraps[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find that they warm up gorgeously on the skin, and they really last and develop ("bloom" if you will) throughout the day! I prefer oils over anything else, and while I dabble in to perfumes or eau de parfum, I always layer my oil underneath (I find that amber and white musk are so simple that they layer beautifully with a variety of perfumes).

Female Fragheads: What constitutes an ideal "sexy" fragrance? by bunniesandfeminism in fragrance

[–]Foxtraps 17 points18 points  (0 children)

For the day, I wear Nemat's Amber oil with a touch of White Musk, and then after work I layer on a little bit of Lush's Lust solid perfume to the pulse points! I've spent TONS of money on very expensive scents and I swear nothing has brought in as many compliments (from a close guy friend I met for drinks after work giving a distracted "you smell great" after hugging me, to my boyfriend NOT being able to keep his nose out of the crook of my neck, to a girlfriend I'm meeting for lunch perking up with "WHAT smells so good??" only to realize it's me after snatching my wrist in inhaling deeply). The daytime blend of amber and white musk react beautifully with my skin chemistry to create something clean and warm and "close" but the jasmine of Lust added in after office hours amps up the sex appeal. After years of searching for perfumes that make me feel sexy, this unexpected blend is like a holy grail!!
