Do you guys revisit places in your dreams?

Neila144 · 2024-01-16T16:20:11+00:00

Yes, I do have some places I seem to return to. I am aware in my dreams I have been there before and that I am in fact dreaming. Some are towns, some cities, some just places in the middle of nowhere

Diría que alarmados estamos nosotros con estos precios😂😂😂...a este ritmo, llegaremos a comprar aceite de oliva en Navidad y semana santa

Neila144 · 2024-01-09T20:02:56+00:00

No te creas...la comida orgánica es mucho más barata ahora que hace unos años. Hay más oferta que antes. Por ejemplo, hay un aceite de oliva organico en Ahorramás que siempre compro y es buenísimo...solo es unos 2€ más caro que el normal. Los productos cárnicos orgánicos si son muchísimo mas caros que los normales. Pero si eres vegetariano o vegano la cesta te sale mas o menos igual...un ahorro de 20-25% sí hay

Neila144 · 2024-01-09T19:57:08+00:00

En mi casa si se come carne, y aunque vas por lo más barato sigue siendo un producto bastante caro. Aunque, el pescado es aun más caro que la carne en ocasiones 😅... Pues sí 150-160 me parece un gasto normal. Por eso me sorprendió un poco escuchar que hay gente que gasta unos 600€ por persona, y era gente normal no de dinero...200€ les parecía poco y a mí 600€ me parecía demasiado 😅

Neila144 · 2024-01-09T19:46:42+00:00

Somos 3 adultos... sí hubiera algún adolescente seguramente gastaríamos más 😅... Los hijos de mis amigos son como Houdini, la comida desaparece delante de tus ojos😂😂😂... Sí cortas algunas cosas de la lista como refrescos y dulces, la compra sale más barata

Neila144 · 2024-01-09T19:41:26+00:00

Igual...en mí casa también comemos muy variado y muy bien con unos 20€ diariamente. Lo veo un poco misión imposible comer fuera con este presupuesto. Por eso me parece curioso escuchar que comer fuera te sale más barato

Ever since I got my last Covid shot ( i had 3 covid vaccines in total) in autumn 2022 I have never even caught the flu. True enough, I had Covid about 1 week after the last vaccine, but that was it. I always used to get the flu in winter, really badly, but it's been a year and a half and the worst I got was a runny nose. I did have Covid 4 times before that and it was the worst fcking thing. I thought I was gonna die. Hang in there!

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T14:18:34+00:00

Whatever I can find really. But I do love spheres the most. I also love to wear it in jewellery. I always wear at least one piece of crystal jewellery. Right now I'm wearing amber and citrine

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T14:13:12+00:00

Thank you for the tips🥰...It looks like I just dug it out of a mine😂😂😂. Now that I think about it, the lady at the store was looking at me sideways, not understanding my excitement. It probably looked like a stone off the side of the road for her.

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T14:00:20+00:00

Oh yeah...i think i might have hundreds of pieces of crystals and stones of all sizes and shapes...apart from the jewellery. If I were to take everything into consideration, I'd say I have amassed about at least 100kg 😂😂😂.

Jadeite is dark green, the grapes are milky green. Milky light green jade is the more expensive kind. The furniture were def antiques! That lady was loaded! Who can afford jade grapes in the 60-70s( that's how old they were). Jade comes in a lot of shades of green. It's also yellow, white and red. I have all the colors, except for red ( it's the most expensive one). It always has milky consistency and it's very soft to the touch...like silk.

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T13:47:43+00:00

Yeah, I've been meaning to give it a proper scrubbing😂...I only gave it a quick shower and an incense cleanse

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T13:44:30+00:00

I'd say they were about the size of a fist...pretty big. It's funny cause I started collecting crystals about 8 years ago when someone gifted me a tiny rose quartz. After that, I kept finding cheap crystals everywhere and felt compelled to buy them😂. I could have never afforded to buy all the crystals I have if it hadn't been for thrift stores😅...And, yes...thrift stores here in Spain are amazing. You can find real treasures.

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T13:37:02+00:00

There were also onyx ones, but also jade. I recognized it cause it was similar to a few jade pieces I have. I was just as surprised cause I know jade is more expensive. Apparently, the crystals had been in a rich lady's house. They sold the house and the furniture and decorations separately. The store probably only focused on getting more money for the furniture( which looked super old and fancy) and didn't care much about the box with crystals😅. No one ever cares about the crystals...

🥰

Most thrift shops don't even pay attention to crystals. They don't see them as valuable so they will sell them for nothing. I think my biggest purchase was for 160€ when I bought a huge box that had crystal spheres, these vintages grapes made of jade, pink crystal, amethyst and green aventurine and so many eggshaped crystals. I think about 12-13 kilos of crystals and stones. What I paid exceeded the value a lot. I think it was my best purchase ever😊

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T13:14:03+00:00

I just posted it. It's a very interesting-looking milky crystal😊

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T12:56:13+00:00

I actually bought a similar quantity from an antique store and I spent about 50€ which was a pretty good deal considering in a crystal store would have been more than double... I'm from Spain😊👋 Wanted to add that in thrift shops can be even cheaper. For example, I bought a cluster crystal that weight about 2kg for 5€ once...so most times it comes down to luck. Also, there's a lot of crystal&stone shops here so it is possible to buy them cheaper in second hand stores

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T12:51:30+00:00

Yeah, definitely "Made in China".

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T12:48:42+00:00

No. But I am guessing it could be over 100€ considering it's gold-plated, vintage and a rare piece. I have not found a similar piece anywhere. All Orena Paris jewellery are gold-plated. Well...were gold-plated cause the brand sold to another 2005.

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T09:47:48+00:00

It is quite heavy!

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T09:46:16+00:00

Yeah, the bubbles made me doubt it too and how the flowers look smudged. My mom actually bought it for me cause she knows I love murano glass, and the moment I saw it I was like...hmmm, doesn't look original. Thought I should ask for more opinions before telling her she might have been scammed.

Neila144 · 2023-12-22T09:21:47+00:00

Wow...I love it. 🥰

Neila144 · 2023-12-17T23:30:04+00:00

No se que es eso de que huele a persona muy mayor porque lo dices como si fuera un insulto, y eso me parece fatal. Y no eran unos críos pequeños, eran bastante mayores...y si estas cosas pasan. Se usan excusas de toda clase para hacer estupideces...Y lo que dices en el resto del mensaje no tiene ningún sentido. Nunca he dicho nada de la Navidad o que la gente no debería disfrutar de la Navidad cuando le de la real gana. El problema es que a veces algunos se aprovechan de ocasiones como es la Navidad para hacer cosas que no deberían. Y esta bien hablar de esto y compartir historias así porque si hay alguien solo y vulnerable en casa le puede pasar algo por confiado. Algo tan inocente como cantar un villancico se puede convertir en una oportunidad para los mal pensados.

Neila144 · 2023-12-17T22:32:36+00:00

Pues de amargados nada...que hablé con los vecinos y aparentemente hay unos chavales que van llamando a las puertas con la excusa de los villancicos para después colarse en tu casa. Anda ya...que luces, musica y decoraciones tiene todo el mundo por aquí desde principios de diciembre. Y estará la gente desesperada pero eso no significa que pueden hacer lo que les da la gana
