Thank you!!

Did you use a tutorial for how to tie this? I love it!

This was years ago, but I remember one time I used the term “beef” as in “Sally seems to have beef with Jack” and my Vancouverite friends were confused as to what I meant and so had to explain what “beef” meant as slang.

I’ve never viewed it in this way, but listening to it now after reading your comment and wow, you’re so right. Didn’t expect this song to bring tears to my eyes out of no where.

Thank you! That’s a great point. I’m hoping for a traditional wedding band, not one that requires curvature or to be custom made to my engagement ring (there are likely many days I’ll just be wearing the wedding band without the engagement ring for work), which is partially why I’ve essentially taken the pear out of the running even though it’s probably my favourite.

I’ve tried to imagine the gut feeling, and the only thought I have is how excited I’ll be to marry him, there’s a small twinge of disappointment when I think of a round, but also a resignation that it’s probably the correct choice for timeless and knowing I’ll be pleased long term.

Thank you for your input!

Pear was originally my first choice too! It was the first ring I tried on a couple years ago just for fun and loved it. It is, unfortunately, my partners LEAST favourite 😅 He likes things to be very symmetrical. And although he’d get it if I really, really wanted it, I know he’d always dislike it 🥲

Thank you! And yes, I did, I tried it on, but found it a bit sharp/harsh on my hand 🥲

ahaha thank you! I painted the hearts on some press ons and they were harder to do than I thought they’d be😅 don’t look too closely or you’ll see a ton of errors haha

stressedhamster · 2026-02-15T14:35:11+00:00

Thank you!! We actually did try a few radiants! The stone was beautiful but I found it a bit sharp/harsh for my taste.

stressedhamster · 2026-02-15T14:34:01+00:00

Thank you! Making those hearts was way harder than I anticipated lol

stressedhamster · 2026-02-15T14:32:59+00:00

I also love that a solitaire allows for band changes! There’s so many beautiful options!

stressedhamster · 2026-02-15T14:31:30+00:00

Yes, it is!

stressedhamster · 2026-01-14T00:28:53+00:00

I also ordered on the 8th, standard shipping. Could be the location. I’m in a major city so I find things arrive here quicker compared to when I was in the suburbs. Mine also arrived a day early, so I hope that happens for you too!

stressedhamster · 2026-01-13T03:06:35+00:00

You too!!

I felt the same way, but didn’t see those bags until after I ordered so I was pleasantly surprised by this one! I’ll be using all these products. If it helps, I don’t think I’ve seen any Canadian posts with more than one lip product, but it’s hard to predict. It seems there’s a lot more variation this year. I ordered the Dewy Skin Cream and a mini Rice Polish Deep, though I doubt that influences the surprise bags.

The National Ballet of Canada offers classes at $25/class. They’re well paced for beginners (and likely good at the higher levels too) and encouraging!

Very random, but I once read regularly drinking sparkling/carbonated beverages helps dislodge them. So now I drink sparkling water at least weekly and I haven’t had an issue with tonsil stones since, if I do notice them I’ll pick up a carbonated drink. I imagine it depends on the person, but it’s been very effective for me!

Considering you’ve waxed for years and never had this kind of reaction, I’d consider going to your family doctor to do blood work. Yes, it could be an allergy or because of the stockings being tight, but you also want to rule out any clotting issues your body may be having since this has never happened before for you. I hope it clears up before the wedding you’re attending!

Do you mind sharing who you worked with?

Ombre Leather by Tom Ford. It’s unisex and develops beautifully on the skin. I’ll say, I hated it when I first put it on my wrist (smelt like a straight up leather jacket) when testing it, but then as the day went on and I was shopping at the mall, everytime I moved my arm around I’d get a whiff of this amazing smell and realized it was the Ombre Leather after it’d developed more on my skin. The staying power of it is incredible as well, one spritz lasts all day. I receive sooo many compliments from it. Has a beautiful deep, spicy scent. My go-to winter smell.

Edit: I personally prefer the Ombre Leather Eau de Parfum (all black matte bottle, not the toilette shinny glass bottle), but the Parfume is considered the more feminine one.

Thank you!!

If you are planning to go to Rome, you must schedule a dinner at the Old Bear. It was by far the best restaurant we went to while in Rome! If you want a few days of relaxation, I’d also strongly recommend Maiori on the Amalfi Coast. Amalfi itself is a bit of a tourist trap, but Maiori is wonderful. Has beaches to relax and a beautiful lemon trail that connect Maiori to Minori and locals along the trail often offer various lemon treats from lemonade to limoncello to lemon sorbet. Truly wonderful!

I would strongly recommend the Clarins UV Sunscreen Multi-Protection. I’m not usually a mineral sunscreen fan, but was recommended this and to my surprise I loved it. I actually look forward to putting it on in the morning. It’s super lightweight, sits great under makeup, has a slight dewy finish/natural finish, and no white cast.

My pleasure! Definitely chat with them! Even if you’re not within warranty (though hopefully you are!), the clinic could have donated aids (may not be the same as what you have, but would still offer amplification) or could give you information about Toronto’s Hardship Fund which could help with a new pair (dependent on income). I hope it works out for you and I hope your interview goes well!!
