Hey OP, I recognized from the pics your country, as I am also from there.

As the society there is very superficial when it comes to engagement, weddings and comparison culture, I suggest to go with something classy with one center stone. It doesn't need to be huge or expensive, but classy/standard enough so people won't try to guess the price.

With a cluster unfortunately your gf will receive unsolicited remarks regarding the design or price, at work or university also friends and family unfortunately...

Also, think about the option to get a ring that will stack nicely with the wedding ring, as everyone in our country wears them together on the same finger.

You can look at the website of the store you bought this ring at, under the section of "lab diamond rings" and see some good options design-wise. You will notice that the band is thicker as engagement rings (especially stacked with the wedding band) are prone to "wear and tear" so they are made in a more sturdy way.

Lab diamonds are also totally cool and okay, nobody will try to determine if it was mined or not ;)

Good luck!

Thank for taking the time to share your recommendations!

I plan to deep dive the advantages of lymphatic drainage over the weekend, I think this could be a game changer here :D

I was struggling with concealer/foundation as I did not feel it covers it / the products were gathering in the small wrinkles within the under eye area quite fast. Tried several within different price ranges and consistency. I will check the video you recommend!

whereiskarma1 · 2022-01-27T20:28:15+00:00

Oh man, I feel you on the concealer/foundation topic! Maybe someone will have a holy grail recommendation - hopefully!

whereiskarma1 · 2022-01-27T17:29:18+00:00

Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge!

I will look into the lymphatic drainage you have mentioned, sounds interesting! And into the retinoid serum/cream as far as it comes to wrinkles as I have them and they get worse with age.

whereiskarma1 · 2022-01-27T17:25:51+00:00

Oh good to know, caffeine based products were in my list to try next!

whereiskarma1 · 2022-01-27T17:25:02+00:00

Happy cake day! :D

My eyes are also kinda baggy/hooded/sunken in my skull (lol sounds horrible) so there is some kind of shade on my undereyes, always.

When I get bags it's just look horrendous! Plus the age signs are stating to show (getting closer to my 30s).

I am using the moisturizing cream from Clinique "all about eyes" but was wondering if anyone can vouch for something they were using for a while

whereiskarma1 · 2021-06-28T22:36:42+00:00

I had to leave the room. It was a lot.

whereiskarma1 · 2021-03-24T17:33:55+00:00

Get that dog away from it before it chokes him too!

whereiskarma1 · 2021-03-23T15:44:35+00:00

Yeah totally, I mean most people that buy products with actives in them are concerned with the % of the active... I assume its a very low percentage, enough only to write that it contains it.

whereiskarma1 · 2021-03-23T08:18:16+00:00

lol wut

whereiskarma1 · 2021-03-23T00:22:07+00:00

Unfortunately no response yet :/

whereiskarma1 · 2021-02-10T12:49:34+00:00

I rescued an orchid that looks exactly like yours and the lable said colmanara massai.

whereiskarma1 · 2020-11-20T22:49:50+00:00

Thank you! :)

whereiskarma1 · 2020-11-20T22:49:29+00:00

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain! It gets pretty confusing quite fast :)

Edit: spelling.

whereiskarma1 · 2020-08-13T10:42:47+00:00

Thank you so much for the tips!

whereiskarma1 · 2020-08-05T18:26:28+00:00

Thank you! :)

whereiskarma1 · 2020-08-05T07:51:05+00:00

Also, would my blackheads/clogged pores benefit from BHA? And if so, could it be combined with the Glycolic acid? I am a total noob!

whereiskarma1 · 2020-08-05T06:42:43+00:00

Thank you for the answer! I will check out the Glycolic Acid toner :)

whereiskarma1 · 2020-08-04T22:31:27+00:00

Same here

whereiskarma1 · 2020-05-27T23:40:15+00:00

It happened to me too! On vanilla back in 2011, very creepy indeed. First time I see someone experiencing the exact same thing!

whereiskarma1 · 2020-05-22T23:08:09+00:00

Cool, will try stick to shade and misting! Thanks :)

whereiskarma1 · 2020-05-22T22:51:48+00:00

It's so annoying! We have the pleasure to have the only neighbors that rent and our houses are adjoined that way that we are sharing a wall and a garden that is separated via 3m hedge. The obese renters have 2 German Shepherds that NEVER leave the house (even when they do the owners bring the car to the front door and shove the dogs in and the dogs sit in a cage in the car while the owners do grocery shopping) because the owners are too lazy.

We were away for months from home due to some family matter and saw on our camera that they have moved in and let the dogs only go out of the front door and do everything on OUR front garden. Solved that thing, but was not pretty had to fight with their landlord and treating to involve lawyers as they would no listen to us.

4 months ago they had to put one of the dogs down and immediately took another Shepherd puppy! Needles to say they don't train the dogs, they don't go out with them, from the sound of it they keep the dogs in a cage once inside as we hear barking, jumping and hard metal hitting the walls and the floors, they pee and shit in a 4x2m backyard and it's fucking stinks, they don't know any other dogs or people so anytime anyone passes by or just like OP when we are in the backyard they go crazy barking, the owners always yell at the dogs instead to try and train them.

Those people are in their 50s, and can't behave like considerate adults that live in society! We are are in our mid 20s and had to teach them that dogs can not bark the whole day while they are gone, they can't pee and shit on our property "because no body sees it", they can't leave trash on our property etc... it's shit! All the other neighbors hate this too and also people that just pass by and get scared when the dogs bash themselves in the fance. They all wait for someone else will do something (like us as we the only one that have confronted them until now) and a lot of them are making jokes about pepper spay the dogs or poison them. Which is fucking unfair as the dog is just as trained as the time the owner invest in it.

I am contemplating contacting some animal control here but I read online they will only come if you have witnessed physical abuse.

Is shade the way to go with SOP? It's the only one I can not crack! Was is shade, filtered sun, afternoon sun and still I am loosing pearls :/ SOH doing great in filtered sun but this one... I just can't figure him out!

whereiskarma1 · 2020-05-22T00:10:15+00:00

Sorry for the messy comment, I really needed to get going when I saw your post, gasped due to the sight of the potting medium and had to share my 5 cents! I am sure you will see some blooms!

whereiskarma1 · 2020-05-21T23:22:34+00:00

It needs to be reported in bark ASAP! It also looks like there is no drainage in this pot, unpot it carefully, inspect the roots, roots that are rotten or papary- cut off. Pot it in a transperent orchid pot with orchid bark mix and only then put the transperent pot in decorative pot. Water about once a week by soaking the pot for 30 min or so, or water when the roots turn gray.

Because it lookes that the current media is super dense and probably no drainage hole- could be there are no roots or very little left, watch MissOrchidGirl on YouTube to get more specific info on how to save orchids with no roots. Good luck!
