So, they say a ring is just a ring. The holidays are coming up and you had a ring in mind but you don't have the funds to buy your dream ring. You all know by now, that I am a ring addict and I am not ashamed of it, but sometimes, a hobby can be very expensive. I am also a person who will not wear my most treasured possessions in places that would put me at risk for damage or other unfortunate events.
I searched for inexpensive ways to feed my ring addiction and I found a site that has rings that are reasonable but I am interested in jewelry that doesn't tarnish or turn my fingers green. I am a person who is allergic to many things so, as I started to look online, I was amazed at the jewelry that I saw and the rings were so pretty.
I want to tell you if, you are on a budget and you like to look glamorous, there are a lot of options now. You may even be looking for an inexpensive engagement or wedding set but you know that you can only afford sterling silver or a ring from a chain store that is mediocre. Well, the option that I found is stainless steel rings. They are so comfortable, don't tarnish, hypoallergenic, and will not turn your finger green and they have some with colored stones, cubic zirconia, or plain bands.
This is a great option to look into and I found a wonderful site called https://www.buybluesteel.com/
You can get a beautiful ring and they also have rings in a yellow gold tone also. Building your dream ring collection is now easy!
Disclaimer: I am not sponsored by this company and I have not received anything of monetary value for this review. I purchased items from this company from my own money. This is my honest opinion.
I decided to do this post because I have been thinking about the seeds that I have been planting for years now with my online hobbies. Some of these activities are productive but It was never my goal to use social media as a business.
There is a company that I have been associated with that has not lived up to the end of their bargain. I will not say the name of this company but I feel that I have produced and I am not seeing any progress with this company.
I think my biggest regret is not taking my hobby serious enough to see that it could possibly turn into something more.
Before you think about joining a social media platform, you should truly research it and see if it is a viable choice where you could turn it into a small business. I love having a hobby.
I am a very sick person, so I have to keep my mind occupied to keep from dwelling on my illnesses. Do not let these companies use your craft to get rich and leave you with nothing.
I went to the Mall about a week ago and I saw this simple, black, dress. I love the cut of this garment and the material was good quality and heavy. These kinds of dresses are a staple that we all should have because it can be dressed up or down. You can wear this dress year round and just add a blazer when the weather gets cooler.
I didn't purchase it but if it is still around, I will go back and buy it.
Well, Guys, I had a lot to confront this weekend. There were decisions to be made and they had to be made quickly. I cannot go into direct details but I have some things that I want to say.
You can go through life and refuse to see the things right before you and you try to cover up the hurt but there will be a time that you will have to face a situation, a (Goliath) in your life.
This situation was something that had been going on for a very long time but I didn't know how to confront this situation because of the uncertainty about how it would turn out.
God, let me know that now was the time and when I attempted to approach this situation, the pieces started to fall into place. I was still fearful and to be honest, I still am. That is what real change will do, it will scare the heck out of you.
Still not sure what the outcome will be, but, I am expecting something great to come through this. When God says move, you better move because you may not get the opportunity again.
Confront your fears early because it will still have to be confronted even if it is many years from now.
The Truth About Poverty And Its Effects.
A poverty mindset begins at a very young age. We eat, sleep, and breathe its effects.
Poverty breeds contempt, greed, desperation, and instability. If you have ever been poor, you will never forget the grip it has had on your life.
Even if you are no longer poor you will still wake up in a cold sweat from dreams you have had about your childhood. The chipped paint, the times you probably have seen your parent cry because they are wondering where the food and the school clothes will come from. Scenes of children going to bed hungry and their cries are something you will never forget.
Being poor is shameful, especially to children because they are usually teased and picked on in school. They wear the badge of scorn that shouldn't be theirs.
Sometimes you will see young mothers wearing designer duds while their babies are in a soiled shirt and diaper, most of the day.
Some fathers will avoid coming home because they don't want to face the reality because they are unemployed and a non-contributor to the family. Most of the time they will disappear or drown their despair with alcohol.
Some people will borrow money from a neighbor or friend to buy food and then the next month they will have to pay this person back and revisit poverty once more. This is a never-ending cycle that will hold you in the prison and grip of poverty.
The problem with poverty is, we escape through spending money that we really don't have. We run away through alcohol, gambling and sometimes drugs and do not hold the other parent accountable for the responsibility in our children's lives.
How To Escape Poverty?
Educate yourself. If you cannot go to college, go to your local Library and read self-help books and money management books. Get a job and find other legal ways to supplement your income. You can take low-cost courses through your local high school. If you do not have your high school diploma, study and get your GED.
If you or your children need clothing, go to a clothing bank, participate in clothing swap meets so you can get bigger size clothing for your kids if they are outgrowing their clothes. You can also volunteer at a local thrift store to get skills and free clothing. Also, try Freecycle.org to get free clothing.
If you need furniture, there are thrift stores and also organizations that donate furniture. Contact social service organizations again Freecycle or ask family and friends for furniture they no longer want or using. You can also get furniture from the curb but be careful you do not want to bring bedbugs home.
For food, only buy generic brands and learn how to cook with inexpensive ingredients. Watch YouTube videos for good, cheap, recipes. If you are really desperate contact social services for help with food and if you are really in dire straights consider dumpster diving and if you live near a lake or stream learn how to fish and read books on how to cook and clean it correctly.
Live beneath your means, pray, and don't borrow what you cannot pay back.
