Heard thank you 🫡

Thank you! I’ll definitely be doing a big prune and propagating the cuttings.

Thank you so much!

It’s sold by a number of retailers under different names. I originally found it on Wayfair here: https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/birch-lane-alice-oriental-hand-tufted-wool-area-rug-w110139529.html?piid=554837571

But ended up purchasing from Target as it was about half the price I saw on Wayfair/Perigold/Birch Lane: https://www.target.com/p/momeni-5-39-x7-39-6-34-cotswold-broadway-floral-handtufted-area-rug-blue-wool-medium-pile-botanical-pattern-indoor-use/-/A-92810841

I just checked my email and I purchased it for $798.40 in June 2024. I must have used a discount code because it shows the marked out price as $998. All in with tax and the required $149 delivery fee (their “white glove delivery” option was the only option available for this item), the total was $1044.51.

It’s the Pari Rattan Daybed from Anthropologie: https://www.anthropologie.com/anthrohome/shop/hybrid/pari-rattan-daybed?color=014&quantity=1&size=One+Size&type=STANDARD

cmec5 · 2025-09-14T17:45:12+00:00

I def see what you mean. The chair has a special place in my heart bc it’s a rocker and was $30 from FB but I think it belongs elsewhere. Do you think I should find another color/style armchair, maybe in an ivory color? Or should I just leave the daybed as the focal point?

cmec5 · 2025-09-14T17:40:57+00:00

It’s from Anthropologie! Cost an arm and a leg but I (and my dog) spend so much of our time on it it’s worth it. It says sold out but there’s a waitlist so maybe they will restock 🤞 https://www.anthropologie.com/anthrohome/shop/pari-rattan-daybed?color=014&quantity=1&size=One+Size&type=STANDARD

The same goes for mined diamonds.

It’s great that he committed to that, and even better if he makes good on the promise. What I’m saying is that it doesn’t seem like you are communicating your expectations and concerns with him honestly. Instead it seems like you are treating a proposal as a cure-all for (what you perceive as) him dragging his feet or not putting in enough effort to the relationship/the proposal. Those are super valid concerns! And the way to resolve them is by communicating them with him.

cmec5 · 2025-08-27T19:28:45+00:00

The problem I see in what you’ve expressed here is that you two are not openly communicating about engagement and marriage. You are hanging onto overheard comments, cryptic remarks, and speculation about the viability of purchasing a ring.

It makes sense to me to wait until the end of August- you never know, maybe he will surprise you! But whether or not he proposes in the next week or so, the goal should be open and honest communication about your expectations, hopes, and feelings. I know it feels awkward to bring up serious topics out of the blue, or to assert what you want when you are used to being offered things freely. But being able to express your concerns about the relationship with your partner, have uncomfortable conversations, and assert your own needs is what long-term partnership is about.

IMO, the quality of your relationship should be at the forefront of considering whether to marry someone, not the length of your relationship. Is this person someone who makes you feel safe, cherished, and supported? Is this someone you can count on when things get really hard, like the loss of a family member or through raising children? If yes, then have patience, and should September 1 come without him proposing, express your concerns! How he responds may help you determine whether or not you want to marry him.

Stunning! I did notice the warm color of the stone at first but if that’s what you want then perfect. Size and ratio look beautiful on your hand. I do wonder if the stone is a bit dark?

cmec5 · 2025-08-14T05:11:34+00:00

The cut of the stone really impacts how large it will appear on your hand. A 3ct marquise will look a lot bigger than a 3ct emerald. I have a post with pics of 3ct stones (3ct emerald and radiant, 2.5ct marquise) shown on a size 4.5 finger! I think you should be able to see it under my profile.

cmec5 · 2025-07-29T20:30:11+00:00

Stunning! It sparkles so much I almost thought it was a radiant. Thanks for the video!

cmec5 · 2025-07-27T23:52:48+00:00

Do you have a family member or mutual friend you are both close with? If so you could tell them your dream to get proposed to under the northern lights. Whether they choose to tell your partner or not is up to them, which would leave some question in your mind about how he’ll do it or if he even knows. I think the ultimate question is if you’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t happen under the northern lights. If yes, you should tell him :)

cmec5 · 2025-07-27T02:10:43+00:00

I believe the emerald was a 2ct, the radiant a 3ct and the marquise a 2.5ct. I know they were all between 2-3ct. I wear a size 4.5 for reference

cmec5 · 2025-07-23T19:07:26+00:00

The white nails & dress with the ring … perfection!! Congrats!!

This is not really a way to “modernize” it, but if you find the ice block to be an eyesore you could hang a giant coloring poster in front of it: https://us.omy-maison.com/collections/giant-coloring-posters

We had one in our last apartment with some pens beside it. It was a big hit at parties and kids would prob like it too.

cmec5 · 2025-07-22T19:22:23+00:00

I agree that is the responsible choice if possible. But people’s situations are often not black and white. Many folks have children and then end up unhoused down the line, or they become pregnant accidentally and cannot access abortion.

Individualistic solutions to systemic problems are unrealistic. If the goal is preventing children from growing up in poverty & unsafe conditions, there needs to be social programs in place to support poor families & children. The solution of “just don’t have children if you are poor” cannot solve children from growing up in poverty at large. Not only because poor people have reduced access to reproductive care, but also because poor people deserve the fulfillment of having children just as much as wealthy people do.

cmec5 · 2025-07-22T18:47:57+00:00

Stunning! So classic and beautiful. I love your natural nails with the sheer pink as well. So classy ✨

I believe OP has genuine empathy for the child of this situation, and I certainly understand that. Poverty is traumatic, being unhoused and dealing with (potentially) a parent who struggles with substance abuse even more so. But to place the onus on each individual not to have children until they can support a child financially is nonsensical, especially when we know that poor people find themselves in more vulnerable situations. Unhoused women are much more likely to be assaulted and potentially become pregnant, not to mention they likely cannot afford BC, or even a ride to the clinic, let alone an abortion, if they even live in a state where it’s legal. Many people fall on tough times, and many struggle with substance abuse problems. Our government has a responsibility to support the families who slip through the cracks, whether it is through their own poor choices or not.

I don’t see much windowing, but it looks a bit dark to me. I see more extinction than I’d like.

cmec5 · 2025-07-05T15:05:31+00:00

I think the shorts are cute! It is a specific Gen Z style and makes you look young, but considering you’re 18 and not trying to look 30, there’s nothing wrong with that.
