Take the sting out of being a grown up
19 June 2007I remember being a little girl & being so excited to someday be a “grown up”. I pictured being “grown up” to consist of wearing fancy ball gowns everyday & living in a pink house. I would wear a faux fur coat, & be dripping in diamonds. Granted, I should’ve noticed that this was not the life that my parents or any adult I know lived, & consisted only when I was playing with my Barbies.
Now that I’m grown up, I kind of wish I was a kid again & didn’t have all the responsibility that I do now. I find one thing that helps ease the pain of being a grown up is to celebrate little accomplishments. Most of us don’t get to go to big parties, & wear ball gowns. However, life is a lot more interesting if you take time & a little effort to really celebrate things. For instance, for the one year anniversary of my blog, I bought myself a new ring. Whenever I look at it, I smile & remember my accomplishments. Most people think that they can’t afford to buy jewelry to celebrate little or big occasions. However, you can if you know where to go.
Online jewelry stores don’t have a lot of overhead, & sometimes they pass the savings onto you, which means that you can buy more jewelry & own jewelry that you’ve never dreamed about. White Flash, the diamond jewelry store, is one such place. They are dedicated to finding you the perfect piece of jewelry & they have excellent customer service. They have a great section about diamond information. You can lead at least some of the life you dreamed of as a little girl, if you know where to shop.
