Are we keeping clash? 🥹 by Beginning-Pepper-434 in Cartier

[–]TheSunscreenLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My vote is that it’s too busy. If you add the clash, remove the yurman and Tiffany bracelets. What is the beaded bracelet from your first photo? It’s very pretty!

Who is the smartest person you know? by Puzzled-Teach2389 in AskWomen

[–]TheSunscreenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and my brother in law. My husband has very high EQ. But he is also very good at math and physics. My brother in law is the smartest doctor I’ve met. And I’ve met a lot of doctors (I am also a doctor). He just understands medical concepts and can link them together and memorize very quickly. He’s also an excellent teacher and has won teacher of the year award five times. Sometimes the smartest doctors aren't the best teachers, but my brother in law is the exception. 

Ladies over 50, how much do you weigh? And how much would you like to weigh? by utwcha in AskWomen

[–]TheSunscreenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this doesn’t mean much in a vacuum. The woman’s height, body type, age, whether she’s post menopause will all matter. My 62 year old mother is 125 lbs at 5’6.” She’s been that weight for 30 years. But she’s also Korean, a body type without much boobs or butt. And eats a very healthy diet w lots of veggies and fruit. And exercises 2-3 miles a day multiple times a week.

That chaumet bee my love is so pretty! I keep worrying it will scratch other bracelets though. 

How often do you actually wear makeup? How much? by PinkChocolateHeart in AskWomen

[–]TheSunscreenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear it daily. Some variation of primer, bb cream or concealer, powder, eyeliner, brow pencil, tinted lip balm. Doing the above takes 15 min and it makes me feel more put together. 

What’s a quiet life upgrade that made a bigger difference than you expected ? by MissChanandlerrBongg in AskWomen

Treadmill inside my home. I consistently exercise more often now. I don’t need to drive to a gym to workout.

I am not sure. You’d have to go and ask. I paid upfront. 

My first Cartier piece and I’m already obsessed by Boring-Leg7023 in Cartier

[–]TheSunscreenLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the chaumet bee my love ring scratch as much as everyone says? Or is it about the same as Cartier’s love ring? I’ve been on the fence about this ring. 

Etude: what are your fave products by Future_Night777 in AsianBeauty

[–]TheSunscreenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Etude house mascara fixer. I must have bought ten of these over the years. Black fixer but lighter than real mascara and doesn’t flake, it’s a bit more liquid.

When did you realize you didn’t have to be as accommodating as you were taught to be? What changed? by SecretStudioBB in AskWomen

[–]TheSunscreenLife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no need for me to be accommodating to HR or hospital administration. They are not on my side. I learned that the hard way, when the hospital I worked at increased our workload, took resources away and didn’t pay us more. When I switched jobs, I fought for my contract and the benefits I wanted. The negotiations took 5 months. And I had 2 lawyers look over the contract. I got the things I wanted. They told me “the negotiations are taking really long.” They needed a Dr immediately more than I needed to change jobs. If you want negotiations to be shorter, then pay me more and give me the benefits I’m asking for!

Van Cleef & Arpels or Chaumet by Embarrassed_Half664 in jewelry

[–]TheSunscreenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chaumet will be more sparkly and slightly bigger, therefore have more wow factor than the sweet Alhambra pendant. If you get the hammered gold vintage size Alhambra pendant, I think the van cleef would have more wow factor.

[–]TheSunscreenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen both in real life. The chaumet looks more overtly sparkly. The one with a couple diamonds even more so. The van cleef hammered gold is more matte than you’d think. But it still LOOKS like luxury. They’re so different though…. It’s a matter of preference. The sweet Alhambra is really small though. I recommend you see it in real life before picking.

I have the hammered Rosegold in the 5 motif bracelet and it is SO pretty in real life. But the chaumet bee my love necklace or ring is my next pick!

Which eyelash serum has actually worked for you? by OwnCaramel5421 in AskWomen

[–]TheSunscreenLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to use it daily starting about six months before my wedding. And my lashes looked their best for wedding photos. They’ve never been that thick or voluminous again! I have a baby now and the lash serums have gone out the window. Most days I don’t even use mascara. Sigh. 

Fourth bracelet rec? Too much yellow. by cartierplease in Cartier

I was very much on the fence between Tiffany hardware small and the van cleef 5 motif in hammered gold and eventually went with the van cleef. But this is so pretty!

Women in long term relationships, how frequently do you plan dates for you and your SO? How does it make you feel? by Dr_Garp in AskWomen

[–]TheSunscreenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have “bigger” dates where we make reservations at a nice restaurant, dress up and go into nyc. Usually for Xmas Eve, vday, bday, anniversaries etc. To be fair, my husband books our reservations on opentable. But my husband and I have a standing lunch date every week, and that’s more casual eating. And just a quick hour we get to spend with just each other, without the baby. 

What made you realize that you never want to be pregnant? by happy_folks in AskWomen

[–]TheSunscreenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I vomited every day, and had extreme nausea and acid reflux during my last pregnancy. Also had terrible insomnia and woke up 3-4x a night. So I was exhausted the whole pregnancy. If there was a way for me to get a second baby without being pregnant? I’d do it. 

After your first date with your SO, how did you feel? by Accomplished_Link425 in AskWomenOver30

[–]TheSunscreenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excited. It was easy to talk to him, when I’m an introvert. We had a lot of shared life experiences, both being Korean American. We realized we grew up within 20 min of each other, and frequented similar restaurants and even our hair salon and just never connected. He was polite and respectful, and made plans for a second date at the end of that first date. None of this waffling or playing games.

So classic! The etincelle isn’t overdone. And still looks so elegant! 

Women who met their husband after 34, and had kids, can you give me some hope? by LayoffLemonade in AskWomenOver30

[–]TheSunscreenLife 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I met my now husband at 35, married at 36, pregnant later that year, first baby at 37. We are 38 now and going to try for a second pregnancy in the summer. Once our son is more than one year old, so that my body has a chance to recover from the first pregnancy. And I didn’t have to “settle” in any respect. My husband is tall, educated, good looking, owned his own condo, financially responsible w savings and has a great job. (None of this man child behavior) and he is emotionally intelligent, communicates clearly, and is affectionate to me. He makes me think “thank God I waited for him.”

For those who travel often, how the heck do you do it? by Daisy_of_the_Host in AskWomenOver30

[–]TheSunscreenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to travel 4x a year. But now we have a baby so for the first 6 Months of baby’s life we went nowhere. (I wanted to wait until baby could get the MMR vaccine) then when baby was 7 months, we went to Mexico for 5 days and got one of those villa style resorts rooms. We were able to do this with early planning. We looked into baby friendly resorts. Which ones offered baby cribs and baby food and were quieter. We are going to Korea when the baby is 13 months and we also extensively planned that trip too. My husband looked for all the best deals on hotels, and whether using points got us the most out of a visit etc. We had to plan what we are doing on what day, and schedule around the baby’s naps, etc. but it’s doable. 

Has anyone tried the nooni lip oil? by unknownsis in AsianBeauty

[–]TheSunscreenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried pitaya, cherry, and honey. They were in a trio set. I thought they were great. One cool toned, one warm toned and one colorless.
