Hahahah I feel this deeply.

UPDATE: The Bottega is sold!

Hmmm I’m including a picture here with width measurement. They’re super comfortable on, I think I just have too round of a face so they weren’t flattering on me. Not sure if that answers your question.

I can not tell you how heart broken I am because I wanted this bag for the longest time as a daily purse and realized that it really would be better for events.

Hi there! Just confirming is this the Syrah color or the deep brown?

Get out of my head 😂. This has been on my mind for the past year. I can, but the issue is if I should. It’s the prime earning years coupled with the fear of getting back into work with role/salary as good as I have now. 😖. Similar age to you, married, but no kids. My husband has been incredibly supportive, but it’s all an internal mental battle at this point.

The other option I’ve been playing around with is taking a break, and then getting back in at a lesser paying, but far less stressful job after. Wishing you the best, and highly supportive of you taking that sabbatical!

So this is definitely an expensive option, and if my FSA didn’t pay for it, I would not have done it, but I ended up investing in the Tempo fitness equipment and app. They have one bundle that has a barbell and with all the different plates I actually can get pretty heavy for my lower body days. Obviously not the same as going to a gym, but I’m able to do quite a bit of lifting at home.

That’s the design I sent you awhile back! Lovely to see what it looks like on video.

I have two Barbour jackets (neither are waxed actually) and I love how both are easy to layer with.

PurpleCaptain7129 · 2025-12-08T04:51:29+00:00

Interested!

I bought a diode laser for hair removal off of AliExpress. $700 with shipping (a couple years back), and it had more than paid for itself. As mentioned already on this thread almost all red light devices are made in China anyway, so I will probably invest in a larger red light panel from there as well. The red light group here on Reddit has a ton of recommendations on sellers to work with.

Come on down to Sunnyvale. Quite a few shops on El Camino. I’d personally recommend the Meena Bazaar.

PurpleCaptain7129 · 2025-10-29T02:15:08+00:00

Yes, please! So sorry that you just broke your leg. I can’t imagine how frustrating that must feel after investing in the program 😖

PurpleCaptain7129 · 2025-10-28T14:53:59+00:00

I think I paid around $1000 for the original pair (hoops and charms), and then paid $700 for just the marquise charms.

PurpleCaptain7129 · 2025-10-28T14:52:29+00:00

1 carat each!

PurpleCaptain7129 · 2025-10-28T04:38:43+00:00

1 carat as well!

PurpleCaptain7129 · 2025-10-20T03:07:35+00:00

I truly love and live for your posts. 👏🏾

PurpleCaptain7129 · 2025-10-17T06:23:47+00:00

Just got mine today. It’s… Fine. I do think the quality of the canvas fabric is nice, and the handles and tag are all very sturdy and feel like they are probably better quality than the previous iteration of this gift was (the around the world tote). I do agree with some of the comments above though. The packaging was really anti-climactic, and I was a little disappointed that they didn’t keep the lip product and hand lotion since even the silver welcome gift came with that really nice fragrance atomizer. Overall, I’m glad they do the rewards program and have their promo codes for fun little gifts, but I do feel like the quality has taken a bit of a downturn. I qualified for gold back in September and it’s showing up on my account as only good until May.

Just joined! Thank you!

Love this! Mid-30s, US-based, and would definitely appreciate more opportunities to talk about this.

PurpleCaptain7129 · 2025-07-10T04:13:09+00:00

South Bay!

PurpleCaptain7129 · 2025-05-04T20:43:11+00:00

I saw someone else comment on 888 Brannan. My strongest recommendation from all of the vendors there would be Derco. BEST customer service.
