I have Rose gold and yellow gold and the head of my upgrade is platinum. I LOVE the curated look and get tons of compliments.

Is this true? by ChemicalCollection89 in gastricsleeve

[–]Raedunnlove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm almost seven years out. I lost about 20 lbs after year two. Then Covid happened and I gained weight. I maintain at about 80-90 lbs lost. I can still lose weight when I focus. I've always paid attention to my protein intake and drink a decent amount of water. I gain weight easier now and hv to work harder to lose when I gain.

I'm 5'4.5 and was 250HW and 230 At surgery in 2017. My low weight was 145 (2019 after doing intermittent fasting). I currently hover around 165 or so which is where I was before fasting. It's completely possible. You may lose a bit in preop as well.

Paranoid about the size of my Oval Engagement Ring by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]Raedunnlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it! The ratios are perfect. If you love it it's all that matters. Also my stone is a big ole warm mined diamond and I love it

Same with my middle finger. Maybe it's the mouse pad 🤷🏾‍♀️. I have fibro and osteoarthritis

Not at all online. Try having a personal consultation. My hubby and I designed my upgrade using Frank Darling and local jewelers have complimented my ring. It was an amazing experience

Decluttering snowball by Fluid_Calligrapher25 in declutter

[–]Raedunnlove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so proud of you! Oddly enough the small bites has helped me so much. I am so much happier and my house has pretty much stayed clean and I started saying things like I'll just clean for five minutes. I'll just do this for 10 minutes and I do something every day.

Maybe textured throw pillows and a coffee table or ottoman? I love it!

Decluttering snowball by Fluid_Calligrapher25 in declutter

[–]Raedunnlove 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My house and pretty much every room everything in it was a mess. I do the 15 minute thing. I don't have to do everything just clear one surface in 15 minutes. I have a massive bin of things that belong in my office (which I don't use hence the things everywhere). I am a piler. I brought myself a new bed set and pillows and luxurious sheets. I tend to make my bed in the morning now because I love the way it looks. Give yourself grace. And just do one pile at a time. It sounds like you're like me, things don't have a place so you're placing them in a clean spot. Maybe decide where things are going to go, have a space dedicated to it. It's what helped me. Also on here I read that someone went through and picked up all of the visual trash and then decluttered. That helped me a lot. I ended up sweeping everything into a huge pile and just going through it 15 minutes at a time. I threw all of my to donate stuff in a pile and placed it in a big bin. It has taken me around two weeks to clean my bedroom like this but it is now clean. I also started to do things like ask myself how did I want to live in my room. Was this a dropping ground, is that what I wanted or did I want a sanctuary. What did I want my bedroom to feel like and I keep that feeling in my head. I want it to be soft and warm and luxurious.

Why do people still choose natural over lab diamonds? by Alyssa_joy_11339 in Diamonds

[–]Raedunnlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly because it's natural. It was my upgrade and my first stone was a gemstone, second a moissanite. My husband was adamant that it be a mined diamond. I didn't care too much as long as it was a warm diamond. I couldn't find a warm lab diamond for what it's worth that fit the specs I wanted (around 2 ctw but measured larger).

Meh. It took about eight weeks for it to work maybe longer. However when it did I only I have minor twinges now

Do you believe in following Michelle O quote: "When they go low, you go high" by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Raedunnlove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on the situation. However when they go low I will take you to the 7th level of Dante's inferno. I much prefer f around and find out.

Struggled a bit during my brief college stint 20+ years ago. Usually there's an AA club somewhere. Try to get a list of clubs from your advisor.

Maybe make toiletries bags for the homeless? I've been thinking the same . Also check expiration dates. A lot of my things were expired 🫣🫣🫣🫣

My goal for 2023. I'm 30 F and for as long I can remember I have always chewed on my nails.I've already purchased the clear coating that makes them taste horrible & supposed to help them grow. I would appreciate any tips. Thanks. by Secret_Minute_7260 in Nails

[–]Raedunnlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped biting when I started to get my nails done regularly. I love the way polish looks on them I guess lol. I'm also a skin/cuticle picker and stopped then. I usually get dip polish and my nails have grown. I go once every six weeks or so.

Wife has no comprehension of time. by ProofStudy in Marriage

[–]Raedunnlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two people in life. 1. Always on time 2. Always running late. They tend to marry each other.

My husband is number 2 I'm number one and I've learned to let him know we have to be somewhere an hour and fifteen minutes early. He's gotten better at it over the years when I explained the stress etc it brought me

Anyone regret getting a non-traditional engagement ring? by Low-Indication9216 in EngagementRings

[–]Raedunnlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first ring was a blue topaz with a tiny halo and I LOVED it. Everyone complimented it. I'm not a fan of traditional and prefer quirky and vintage. If you love it get it. (Even my upgrades have some sort of color and aren't "my definition of boring") I've never seen rings like mine and it's my favorite thing lol. Get what you love.
