My ADHD Journey: From Letter Openers to Finding Focus My ADHD Journey: From Letter Openers to Finding Focus Okay, let's be real. Life with ADHD can feel like a constant juggling act.

But I also didn't want to lose a finger or damage my precious metal ring during training. So, I went on a little journey to find the best solution. This is what I learned.

How to Wear Your Rings: Engagement and Wedding Band Etiquette How to Wear Your Rings: Engagement and Wedding Band Etiquette I remember when I first got engaged – I was so excited to wear my rings, but I also felt a little clueless about the "right" way to do it.

After some trial and error, and a lot of observation, I've figured out what works best for me, and I'm excited to share my insights with you.

This is because the ring finger on the left hand was once believed to ...

Gold Rings for Women Near Me: How Sumsfashion Became My Savior Gold Rings for Women Near Me: How Sumsfashion Became My Savior Let me be completely honest. I once bought gold rings for women from a local store near me, and the experience was a huge letdown. The rings looked stunning in the display case. However, after just a week of wear, they began to tarnish and even left a green mark on my finger. The so-called "gold plating" was clearly not what it seemed. The poor quality wasn't the only issue. The customer service was awful. When I returned to complain, they blamed me, suggesting I must have exposed the rings to harsh chemicals. I was incredibly frustrated—I had spent good money only to receive a subpar product. Here’s a summary of the problems I encountered: Poor quality materials. Misleading product descriptions. Terrible customer service. Overpriced for the actual value. Verdict: Don't automatically trust local ...
