Real life perspective

[Kaycee2018]

Very pretty together! I would love to see your watch and bracelet stack...I’m always afraid of scratching the watch crystal..Do you wear bracelets on the other hand as well?

Thanks @Mamabean ! The watch is a 31mm Rolex and the bracelet is 14k white gold from a local jeweler that my husband gifted me years ago. I wear them together almost daily (I am terrible about rotating my jewelry...unlike my bags! LOL). I haven't had any issues with scratching, though I don't think I could ever bring myself to stack a bangle bracelet with my watch. I rarely wear bracelets on my right wrist. I think I need to make it a goal to rotate out my jewelry more. I do pretty good with necklaces, but that's about it.

Thanks for the pic! I love it!
I force myself to rotate because I do the same thing and just keep wearing a combination I like..

Excuse my goofy expression. My dh was making me laugh lol.

You can also sort of see the little necklace I was wearing and my earring showing there just a bit too.

Haha... @pearaffair you’re too kind
My regime is nothing special, I think I’m blessed to have good genes and I love dabbling in trying out new skin care products. I never go out without wearing sunscreen, rain, hail or shine, it’s a must living in Australia as the sun is so harsh.

OMG ladies !! You make me believe there is a life out there ! I am almost 32, two small kids back to back , exhausted , without a good sleep in a last five years , I cannot say my body falls apart ,but every once in a while I see those body changes ,skin changes ,new gray hair and it’s kind of scary !!!!!!!! So what’s your secrets ?? No food ?? My biggest concern is that I cannot lose weight that easy as I used to do . I never restricted myself with any foods , but I guess ,now it’s time bcs my yongest is 2 , and I still have those extra 4-5 pounds in me and they don’t wanna go away .

I always protect myself from the sun. I don't smoke or drink alcohol. I laugh a lot every day. I workout every day. I find something to be grateful for every day. I am in a healthy loving relationship and that goes a long way to being content and feeling good IMO. And lol not having kids. That has helped I am sure.

Sleep is a critical component but not one I get to enjoy quality wise nor quantity wise so luckily so far it hasn't caught up with me but it might one day...

And genetics matters too but I definitely think environment plays big role and you can control a lot re aging.

As for the weight I eat healthfully and workout every day and it is second nature to me now. Which is a good thing because I am hypothyroid and have Hashimoto's so it is very easy to gain weight.

And @Golden_bird if I may add don't be tough on yourself. Be kind to yourself as you would be to other people. I bet you look great and a few extra pounds can be helpful as one ages. It softens the face. Having kids puts a toll on you but it is a priceless gift that you would never trade just to look younger!

I am right there with you... but two years and one kid behind you

When I start to feel bad I just remind myself of that big warm squishy mom hug feeling. So comforting. So if I grow older to be a big squishy mama providing the warmest most cushiony hugs, I can live with that! But I certainly appreciate people that look great at any age!

Thank you @missy !! Sometimes you just get lost in a daily routine and prioritize your children, but I guess if the mother is in good condition, everybody else is awesome too !!) Thank you for your tips ! In this case , I will put “my diamonds “ )) in perspective good thing abour these diamonds , the older the are , the bigger they are and I don’t think a diamond shrinkage can happen

St Patty's Day real life perspective...
it isn't easy being green and recovering from hand surgery but Bubbalah is A OK on the right hand for now...

 

[caolsen]

It’s a small Cartier Tank watch. The brass cuff is a small as well. The pear ring on the stack is a 2.5 carat with a 1:1.70 ratio if that helps, it’s a fairly long pear.

Thank you !!) your comment cracked me up ) “you will eat them “ that’s not easy hahaha they run so fast my little one is learning life way too quickly ! Before she would come to me and ask for chocolate or candy ,and def in rare occasion I would give her some . Now she learnt how to pull a chair to the cupboard,claim to secret boxes with candies ,quickly take some and hide in the closet once I got scared bcs couldn’t find her , found her In the closet chewing on huge bar of chocolate
