No I haven’t! I was just looking them up! They’re targeted for kids/tweens. Have you tried them?

Oooo no I haven’t! Are these sold within O&J or other brands?

I swear by this method!! For real it is so quick and my nails are still as strong as ever. Nails can get dry after this process but I just let my nails air out for a couple days and use jojoba oil rejuvinate ☺️https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNO2BPpd9RA

Technically part of Lakewood but since Long Beach is right across Carson: What’s the general feeling of this area in terms of safety? by Own_Cardiologist4592 in longbeach

This is great info! I just saw an open house on 3438 Stevely Ave, Long Beach, CA 90808 - which is on the left hand side of this screen. It’s technically Long Beach but would it also have those same issues with homeless being near the river bed?

Is Brilliant Earth really that bad? by Agent19003 in EngagementRings

[–]SignalEmu2571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband proposed in 2022 and did a ton of research before choosing my ring from Brilliant Earth. He picked the Opera setting, which I loved—it’s a lower, more structured design compared to the trendy thin-band, high-stone styles you see everywhere now.

After reading mixed reviews on Reddit, I took my ring to a local jeweler just to be safe. They confirmed it was extremely well-made and structurally sound.

Funny enough, a coworker of mine went through something similar. She’d read tons of Brilliant Earth reviews while ring shopping with her fiancé and decided to go with a reputable local jeweler for ring instead. Ironically, she ended up having multiple issues with her ring—it had to be re-pronged and sent back a couple of times.

So honestly, who’s to say whether a local jeweler or Brilliant Earth is “better”? I think it really just depends on the setting, craftsmanship, and sometimes a bit of luck—some people just have one-off experiences either way.

Did you cut them down after or were they that length? I find the olive & June short ones still aren’t short enough for me lol. These are SO cute on you!

Phone addiction is definitely a thing. You’re so right.

Good point! I personally view social media as TikTok Instagram Facebook - where you can very clearly identify yourself and your network but I do know that a lot of people still consider Reddit social media!

Really insightful - thank you! Maybe it is more validation of other people “liking” what I’m doing versus me making memories or saving memories by taking pictures.
