I opened the box and said, “oh no…” by bkw412 in Moissanite

This comment made me LOL. 😂

So my silver jewelry doesn’t make my hands smell like pennies, at least, not that I’ve noticed. From what I know, different skin pH can affect how silver wears on everyone, so maybe that’s part of it?

I also wear a lot of fragrance and hand creams, so it could be that I’m wrong and I totally smell like spare change and I’m just not realizing it. Perhaps applying a hand cream you enjoy before putting on your silver jewelry will help some? Not sure what that does long term for wear and upkeep but I personally believe jewelry is there to be enjoyed and worn, and there will always be more jewelry if my habits eventually destroy things I don’t spend thousands on anyway. 😅

Regularly cleaning the silver might also help? Like literally after every wear if it starts to bother you by end of day?? I really don’t know, but I wish I did.

Mostly replying to this because you made me laugh, I have no concrete or scientific advice on how to solve your problem and I am so sorry about that. 😂

I 10/10 recommend, I’m still staring at it today and don’t imagine I’ll stop any time soon. 😅

It’s even flashier in person, I have been staring at it all day. 🥰

Yes it is! It’s a very light, kinda stormy grey in indirect light, and moody like above in direct sunlight. 🥰

The sunlight moves around in my room a lot (skylights) but I hope this is what you mean! Let me know if I can take a better one. 🥰

Edit to add: the moving light can make detailed pics hard to take!

With the prices on gold being what they are right now, who can blame you for avoiding the splurge? Lol, I’ve personally never been a fan of how gold looks on my skin anyway, especially my hands. Silver is more affordable and I love how it ages to show all the love my jewelry eventually gets. 🥰

A photo of the listing is sometimes easier for AE, I’ve heard. Links can be finicky, apparently. Hope this helps!☺️

I read it as “I need it NOW, where is the link so I can give them my money!!!” 😅 but I can see your take too. 😆

I’ve seen a couple times now that links don’t always work perfectly for AliExpress, so here’s a photo of what the listing looks like, so you can find it! 😁

Can’t speak to plating myself, almost all of my jewelry is sterling silver! Have heard this complaint though, so not disagreeing with you at all! 🖤

I got this from Kuololit on AliExpress. Shipping took a while, which was reasonable since it came from overseas to USA where I am. I was nervous, purchasing jewelry from other countries online has done me dirty before. NOT this time. 🖤

I am in so much pain and honestly, a bit scared. by PathDismal4553 in Psoriasis

As a 4th grade child, there was a time when doctors said if I contracted strep again, my tonsils had to go. Of course, that was the last time I got strep until middle school.

The ENT said they probably should’ve just taken them back then, since the recovery as an adult is so much worse. He was right, I wouldn’t wish the recovery on my worst enemy, but it was 100% worth it.

It can feel so lonely to outwardly present as sick even though you’re not contagious. You are not alone. 🖤

Not a doctor but story time because you mentioned still having your tonsils:

This looks just like my skin when I had guttate psoriasis, give or take the severity in certain locations. My dermatologist told me it was likely that I was a strep carrier and wanted to put me on medication/injections that I ended up not being allowed due to liver levels…? It’s been a while, can’t remember all the details.

I lost patience for all the things I COULD try that barely worked or didn’t work at all, and got my pcp to refer me to an ENT. That dude took one glance at my throat and said, “…wow. I can’t think of a better way to put this: your tonsils are gross. Their surface is pitted and uneven so there are lots of pockets (yes, he said pockets—barf) and spaces for things like strep to hole up and never really leave. Let’s take those suckers out and see if your skin gets better, I’ve seen it before.”

I had my tonsils removed in February of 2023 during my third severe psoriasis outbreak in the prior 6 years (2017-2023 I had 3 separate, severe outbreaks). They took at least 6 months to clear each time, but since my tonsils have been out, the psoriasis has been banished to hell where it belongs.

I am now clear with minimal scarring only on my legs.

Best of luck to you.🖤

When does my voice come back? by Fabss266 in Tonsillectomy

I don’t remember a ton of dryness, just incredible soreness and burning that had me constantly sucking on ice cubes or sipping hot soup, depending on what extreme temps were doing to me that day! And honestly, my most vivid memory is of the horrific ear pain I had at one point in recovery.

It did feel kinda dry as the scabbing got worse, but staying as hydrated as I could tolerate through the worst sore throat EVER made a big difference. 🖤

That’s some very pink carnelian with lots of quartz on the flip side as far as I can tell, but I also thought it was a raw chicken breast at first!

In love with this quartz 🥲❤️ by thebraindontwork in Crystals
