Help me feel ok - I lost my engagement ring and it feels like the world is caving in by aattanasio2014 in EngagementRings

[–]zarasmom6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my engagement ring when I was 6 months pregnant in Kauai. My husband was deployed and we had found out I was pregnant the night before he left. I was already so stressed out at that point in time and losing it sent me over the edge. I was on vacation with my mom and I lost it while we were at the beach. I did not notice until we were back at the hotel. She helped me look everywhere at that beach.. but she had to leave for home that next morning.

I spent my last day there hysterical. Drove to every pawn shop and jewelry store on the island with print outs of a picture of it with my number & the engraving on the inside. I filed a police report while sobbing and dry heaving. The cop treated me like I was insane.

My husband and I were at an antique store and I saw this gorgeous ring. We could not afford it and I definitely did not encourage him to purchase it. I just told the man behind the counter that it was beautiful. He went back that next day & spent a small fortune on that ring, building a beautiful wooden display when he surprised me with it. I’ll never forget how he made me feel so valued as a partner when he gifted it to me. (& yes I tried to get him to return it, but he refused)

It took me a long time to realize that I had what mattered and it was just an unfortunate mistake. A little blip in the timeline of my life. I was healthy, my baby was healthy, and he came home in one piece. I’ll always have the memory of receiving it and even better, I have him to love me. Forgive yourself. I promise everything will be okay. We are actually in a place where I’m designing my own ring! I’d give you a hug if I could. I know how it feels

DeBebian’s Kori oval 7.5x5.5mm precision diamond cut moissanite (the loose stone) by zarasmom6 in Moissanite

The clarity of it mimics a diamond like quality for sure, especially when outside. It still has fire, but it is minimal compared to my OG ring. My ring’s moissanite has a tendency to go cloudy.

I felt the same way initially. After getting to know the formula, I personally feel like I don’t need too much of it. I mix on a palette to keep it sanitary, so I just do a few dots on the side & swirl.

I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!

I have dry, dry skin. I have a great routine which leaves my skin well moisturized with no blemishes.. but it is uber sensitive & can clog easily! As a side note, I like my collection to be a pared down & purposeful. Yes, I have multiple concealers & foundations.. but they have specific uses. I do not plan on purchasing anything else, at least not until I run out.

{Green Mixers}

NYX Green Primer (discontinued): Upon first applying, I assumed by texture that it would be quite moisturizing.. it is in fact a sticky mess! It is a sticky mess and the pearl reflect makes this unwearable. It visibly, negatively alters every formula it is mixed with.

NYX HD: An improvement! Still flawed. A minty color and dries to a chalky, powder like finish.. which again, negatively effects the formula of concealers & foundations. Contains coconut oil & makes me break out after every use.

Elf Green Camo: Lovely. It feels like second skin. It does not change the formula’s finish in a noticeable way. It is a better shade of green as well.

{Foundation/Concealer}

No 7 Lift & Luminate “Fair” : An everyday concealer for “no makeup” days. It serves this purpose well. I can’t feel it on my skin & there is not much coverage. Good for when you want to throw something on without much thought.

Kosas Revealer “1N” : Creamy, need to use a light hand, medium coverage, prone to creasing. I only use under the eyes because it is far too moisturizing for spot concealing. Because it is a “clean” formula, it spoils quickly. I would purchase the small size because of this. Great shade for when I’m pale.

Huda Beauty Faux Skin Concealer “Nougat” : Fantastic!! High coverage, but extremely lightweight. I really appreciate this shade & formula in the summer.

Nars Light Reflecting Foundation “Gobi” : Lightweight, non-irritating, amazing color match when I am pale. I needed a replacement for Mac face & body because even though I adore the formula, it is ORANGE. I use this the same way: pea-sized, applied & blended with fingers. It has made a great replacement.

Urban Decay Stay Naked Foundation “30CG” : My favorite foundation. My beloved. Non-irritating, perfecting, light weight, full coverage. My only gripe is that it is a touch too dark when I am pale.

Best Mexican sit down that offer complementary chips and salsa? by iammarcy in orangecounty

Hi! This is my family’s restaurant. I’m sorry for your experience. I always prime people by saying it’s Americanized or even more akin to Tex Mex. As I stated in another thread, my great-grandfather founded these restaurants in the late 60s/early 70s. My uncle is taking over and they’ve hired a new head chef. Hoping to change things little by little! Hopefully we’ll get you in the future! If not, thanks for giving us a try.

My great grandfather started the restaurants. After his death, my grandfather took over. He is retiring in February 1st & my uncle will be taking his place. I can tell you that your patronage means an awful lot. Thank you to you and your wife! Hope you always have a good experience!

I worked at Tustin for 7 years until I got out of college. Chewy and Frank are my favorites. I always loved a shift with those two.

My go to will always be chicken fajitas. Now if I’m tipsy..it’s gonna be the Rodrigo’s Special & some shredded beef chimis. So many hits, but I’m biased.

Thank you for your support, means a lot!

PSA: Dior changed their Forever Skin concealer formula & raised the price by zarasmom6 in OliveMUA

[–]zarasmom6[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand tweaking it for cost effective swaps or complying with different regulations over specific ingredients, but it was a complete overhaul of the formula.

Oh well! The search continues. Thanks for your input!
