I personally love wearing just my very simple gold band. It’s so easy. The only time I take it off is while making meatballs or my turkey/feta/spinach patties.
I’m glad you’re enjoying band shopping @hfantods! When is your wedding again?
We love our condo, but had we known there would be a pandemic and we’d switch from going into the office every day to working from home nearly every day, we would have bought a place with one more room, or at least one more half room. Or even a nook. Something!
So I feel you @Copa.
How fun @copa! When I was engaged the first time, my aunt and I browsed the rings at Tiffany’s. I knew it wasn’t going to be purchased there, but I wanted to see what I liked. My ex and his dad went to a diamond dealer in Miami, picked out the diamonds and had the ring made.
I didn’t want a second engagement ring, so the husband bought me diamond earrings. Again, he used a diamond dealer, I think this one was in TX. He went to diamond dealers here to look, but most discouraged him from getting high quality diamonds for earrings. Dude, do you not like money?? Idiots.
@Rangerchic, I do have sensitive skin and I use a retinol cream at night. Exactly as @kate mentioned, I started with a low % cream 2-3 times a week and now I’m up to about 5 times a week. I use Obagi Retinal 0.5, although I finally bought the 1.0 and am going down from 5 times a week to 2-3 again while I adjust to the higher %, if that makes sense?
I’ve heard good things about The Ordinary and wouldn’t mind trying their products sometime.
I’m with Copa. I don’t care about aging. I oddly always round up when I’m asked my age. It’s more about looking tired vs. looking bright and refreshed. I do color my hair blonde because the natural color is that ugly, dull dishwater color. I’ve tried to go darker, but I didn’t like it. My sister has beautiful, shiny brown hair and doesn’t have to do a thing. Jerk!
Anyway, I just want to feel good and look refreshed. A little bit of help can’t hurt.
You haven’t, but please share! I’m way overdue for a mole check because I haven’t found anyone I like yet.
I’m def going to check her out Wendy. Thanks!!
Oh yes, genetics. My maternal grandma had flawless skin. She also had a lot of daughters and her daughters had daughters and we all look relatively young. I think the only time I look my age is after a couple nights of drinking and my eyes look tired.
Well, there’s extractions. My skin is pretty good, but I do have a couple areas that need help. Also, because my skin changes regularly throughout the year, I can get targeted treatments instead researching and buying several different kinds of creams or oils or whatever. I prefer to keep my at home care super simple.
I know you def like researching and trying products to see what works. I’m not good at it/don’t like it.
My at home experimentation is always related to food, my true passion.
Or I guess I could see a dermatologist. But meh. The couple I’ve gone to throughout my life I absolutely didn’t like.
She totally went alien. I have a hard time looking at people who’ve had that much work done. My recently watched Modern Family in full and Both Julie Bowen and Ty Burrel were a little had to look at toward the end.
That’s why I want to try regular facials. I know it won’t help aging and fine lines, but I’m hoping it will help keep my skin looking fresh. Especially in Chicago since the weather can swing 40+ degrees in a day.
The laser hair removal, I want armpits, legs and bikini line.
Shaving bothers me. I have to apply lotion immediately after, otherwise my skin burns/itches. We’ll see eventually start traveling again on the regular so not having to shave be a blessing.
Ooh, thanks Wendy. Your friend’s place is super close to me. About a 10 min walk. When I’m ready, I’ll have to check her out.
Actually, I’m really interested in laser hair removal right now. I might finally bite the bullet and do it.
