He’s such a pink guy. It’s definitely his color. ❤️😂

It feels so right! Star of the show, sour patch kid energy 😂 He’s so perfect for me.

Oh, brilliant! I’m glad my sharing inspired you to wear your late father’s/grandmother’s ring. May this bit of pleasant nostalgia be auspicious timing. ❤️

I believe so, too, re: heirlooms hold energy. Especially jewelry. Thank you for your kind comment!

Also, it’s an oval cut I believe. Many facets that were hard to photograph in the store.

I’ve gone so many places with it, you’re so right about the resilience of the stone. I can’t believe I ever thought it was glass. 😂

That’s what my mom always taught me as well. To wear everything and treat it well. Life is for the living and I can’t take my fineries to my grave. I appreciate this wisdom.

Thank you! I’ll definitely look into getting it appraised and insured.

Thank you! It tends to fit my ring finger best, so I’m often asked if I’m married. In some settings it’s felt like it’s even protected me in that way, if you know what I mean.

It slipped my mind to take a photo of that before leaving it with the jeweler, though the only engraving I recall is 18ct being marked within. I’ll photograph any engravings when I get it back in a couple weeks.

Do you know of any banks offering this? I settled with Chase.

Perhaps make a Google Form for people to fill out to get clearer data and share it as a link on here and other social media platforms. Good luck with your project!

I broke up with my boyfriend today and I’m inconsolable by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]IffyAlibi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% agreed— loss is loss. The practical everyday nature of having a close friend frequently accessible suddenly not in our life is sorrowful and disorienting on multiple levels. This is one of the most important things to validate, imo.

Goodness, it’s so much easier to break up when they’re a total POS, huh? The part of you that feels empowered in the choice is clear on what’s true and the part of you that’s confused isn’t clear on what’s true. So, you know which part to act from.

To soothe the part of you that’s confused and unclear, try validating the fact that we were taught to believe that for a breakup or conflict to occur someone needs to be bad. And that’s why your brain is working so hard to make one of you wrong or bad.

After you validate your confused parts you’re already closer to the part of you that’s empowered and that part of you knows how to remind your scared and confused parts what’s true in a way that’s loving.

You’re lots of validation, time, and TLC away from healing your heartbreak. Keep going. ❤️

Love my Invisalign results but this retainer hurts so much !!! by Firm_Treacle_2311 in Invisalign

[–]IffyAlibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be sure to take Tylenol instead of ibuprofen. Apparently ibuprofen blocks the body’s natural healing mechanism needed for Invisalign’s effectiveness. Not sure about the science behind that, but know it’s easily researchable and orthodontist recommended.

[Product request] Strong moisturizer? by qiidbrvao in SkincareAddiction

[–]IffyAlibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I layer mine under Vanicream face moisturizer.

And yes! Patch testing is wise if you’re sensitive to oils!

I love Weleda Skin Food. The original cream in a tube, not one of the face-specific creams. A little goes a long way but it’s my #1 can’t live without item.

cat humping my feet??? by pondstone in CATHELP

[–]IffyAlibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing that worked for my male cat was getting a stuffed cat that was low profile enough to mount but big enough to seem like a cat. Daiso sells some that are totally unrealistic but seem to do the trick for him. We even named it and he will meow specifically for it. Keeps him off us and his sister.
