How to Design a Vintage Engagement Ring

Imaginary Diva — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 16:36:02 +0000

Vintage engagement rings are making a serious comeback. Not only that; design your own vintage engagement rings are making a serious comeback. When people design their own rings, they are looking for engagement rings that match their personality and are a little more unique than the grossly overdone diamond solitaire, pave and three stone engagement rings of modern day. In response to the ever-changing needs of the modern woman, vintage rings are an exceptionally popular choice to use as a basis when you want to design your own engagement ring.

There are many websites that let you design your own engagement ring by choosing individual features. Unfortunately, not many of them give information about antique and vintage engagement ring eras, so it us up to you, the consumer to do your homework and learn about them on your own. When you make the decision to design your own engagement ring, you must choose the appropriate era to match your future fianc�s character and personal style.

Choosing to design your own engagement ring should be a fun and exhilarating experience, but before you start, you must be careful to narrow down what era your ring should resemble.

If you choose to design your own engagement ring in fashion with the Edwardian era (1901-1915), you would be designing a ring that features platinum and white gold bands with filigree and scrollwork details. In accordance with this era, when you design your own ring, make sure to include princess cut and emerald cut center stones when selecting solitaire, three-stone or multiple stone arrangements. In addition, amethysts and pearls were often used as complimentary stones.

To design your own art deco engagement ring (1920′s) would be simple as long as you followed the style of intricate and angular patterns similar to architectural construction. We have all heard of the roaring 20s and as such, the Art Deco fashion period captured the spirit of this bold age. When you design your own engagement ring in art deco fashion, be sure to include geometric shapes, contrasting materials and large colorful cluster settings. Another popular trend of this time was to mix and match gemstones with diamonds. Many engagement rings featured cushion cut, emerald cut and Asscher cut diamonds.

If you want to design your own engagement ring, but are on a budget; fashioning your ring after the 1930s may be the perfect solution. In the 1930′s, the Great Depression had an influence on al most all areas of life, including engagement rings. Engagement rings of this time were much more modest than their art deco counterparts. The geometric patterns of the previous era were still used, but the bands were narrower and stones were smaller. To design your own engagement ring imitative of this era would mean less financial obligation because both the stones and the bands were more delicate.

When choosing to design your engagement ring after the trend of the 1940s, be aware that the designs were quite a bit less elaborate than the Art Deco and early 1900 styles that came before. This was most likely in response to the onset of World War II. Solitaire round brilliant cut diamonds, sometimes flanked by baguettes or other small cut diamonds, were prevalent during the 1940s. Also, when you design your own engagement ring, be sure to choose either platinum or white gold.

To design your engagement ring in the style of the mid 1940s to the 1950s you would have to become familiar with the style preferences of Hollywood starlets. Jewels were big and bold and a variety of gold alloys in various colors were utilized, due to the scarcity of platinum. Semi-precious stones, such as aquamarine and garnet, were also used.

No matter which era you prefer to design your own engagement ring after, make sure you choose one which is an accurate representation your future fianc�s personality: if she would appreciate a more glamorous ring, 20′s or 50′s is the way to go. If she would prefer something sleeker, 30′s or 40′s is best. Do some research to find your idyllic model and print out pictures to help you remember when the time comes to sit down and design your own engagement ring.

Cancel Your RSVP to the Pity Party

Imaginary Diva — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 16:09:54 +0000

Sometimes having a pity party is easier than accepting responsibility and trying to make a conscious change in our lives. While I like to give ourselves permission to feel negative every now and then, a pity party is when we become addicted to these toxic emotions, and this can greatly inhibit our self-esteem and personal growth.

Listen. I understand that people feel bad about themselves every now and then. That’s normal. We all go through times when we make mistakes, we embarrass ourselves, we don’t live up to our expectations, or disappoint others. And I truly believe that giving ourselves permission to feel negative emotions, every now and again, is a necessary element of emotional intelligence.

The problem with negative emotions is that we sometimes become addicted to them, like a drug. We become so conditioned and attached to our frustrations, our anger, our sadness, and our guilt, and we begin to depend on these feelings in order to feel alive.

Instead of recognizing our emotions as only passing expressions of our current situation in life, we begin to identify ourselves with these feelings. We can’t imagine a day going by without them. We wake up every morning and we begin to anticipate their arrival…and sure enough, they usually come.

In many ways, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. We expect to feel like shit and those expectations cause us to act in ways that reinforce that fact. This is how many people get caught in having “pity parties.”

A pity party is an excessive and unproductive way of experiencing grief, in which you spend all your time feeling sorry for yourself and whining endlessly about how crappy your life is, without ever doing anything about it.

Often we have these pity parties all by ourselves. For weeks, months, or even years at a time we may come home from work or school, then run up to our room, lock ourselves in it, crash on our beds, curl up in a ball, munch on Doritos, and then try to sleep for the rest of the day. Maybe we don’t even go to school or work anymore.

Common symptoms of a “pity party” include:

Persistent low self-esteem.

Constant feelings of frustration, sadness, or anger toward life.

Excessive negative self-talk (such as “I’m no good.” or “Nobody likes me.”) and complaining.

Lots of ruminating on past events.

Not motivated to go to school, work, or fulfill other obligations.

Poor diet, excessive eating, and/or substance abuse.

Indulging in too much TV, movies, music, or videogames.

Feeling lethargic and lazy for most of the day.

Lots of day-time sleeping.

No real plans, hopes, or dreams for the future.

Identifying oneself as “the victim” in most situations.

Indifference to others or wanting others to feel bad for you.

The most unhealthy thing about any pity party is that we do everything but actually confront our problems. Instead, we run away from responsibility by feeling sorry for how pathetic we are as human beings.
Perhaps even worse, we carry this attitude with us wherever we go and it begins to pollute our relationships. Our negative attitude and gloomy demeanor become an emotional contagion. This means that the people who are surrounded by you begin to pick up on your negative vibes and feel down themselves.

Most people don’t want to hang around others who make them feel like crap unless they themselves already feel like crap. Due to this, we begin to attract toxic individuals which only help to refuel our own toxicity. Our social circle becomes a feedback loop of toxic emotions – and the pity party continues to grow.

7 Foods that Help Make Your Skin Glow

Imaginary Diva — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:21:23 +0000

GUEST POST BY DANIELA BAKER

Did you know that what you put on your plate is as important as what you put on your face when it comes to having glowing skin? The best way to build truly beautiful skin with a healthy, youthful glow is from the inside out.

Start with a generally healthy diet, and then add these seven particular foods to get the skin you’re dreaming of:

Salmon: Salmon and other foods high in omega-3 fatty acids can help keep your skin smooth from the inside out. If your skin is typically dry, or if you want to fight wrinkles with what you eat, omega-3 fatty acids are the way to go. These healthy fats can also reduce inflammation that can cause redness. Other foods that include omega-3 fatty acids are walnuts and flax seeds. Add some to your morning oatmeal for a skin healthy boost.

Berries and Plums: Blackberries, strawberries, blueberries and plums have an especially high antioxidant count. Antioxidants can destroy the free radicals in your body that can cause premature aging and that may even lead to cancer. One easy way to get a big dose of these antioxidant-rich fruits into your daily diet is to make a daily berry smoothie.

Green Tea: Green tea is great for tamping down inflammation in the body, which is why you’re seeing it in advertised as an ingredient in more and more skin care products. However, taking it on the inside is a great way to keep your skin from getting red and inflamed without having to slather on the products. If you aren’t much of a tea drinker, try adding a bit of honey to your green tea to sweeten the deal, or look for flavored green teas that are very popular right now.

Carrots: Carrots are high in beta carotene, which turns into vitamin A on the inside. It’s best to get your vitamin A through food sources, since too much artificial vitamin A from a supplement can have harmful side effects. Vitamin A is used to fight severe acne, and it can keep skin soft. Another food high in beta carotene is sweet potatoes.

Oranges: Oranges, kiwis, and other fruits that are high in vitamin C are great for your skin. You’ve probably seen lots of skin care products with vitamin C advertised as an ingredient. The reason for this is that vitamin C stimulates your skin to produce more collagen, which eases out wrinkles from the inside out. Vitamin C can also help keep your skin from drying out, so it’s especially important in the winter months.

Dairy Products: Low fat dairy products are another place where you can get vitamin A. Also, dairy products with live cultures – such as kefir and yogurt – can keep your intestines healthy. While that doesn’t sound like it would be related to your skin, it actually is. When your intestines are healthy your body can more easily dispose of toxins and absorb nutrients. This means your skin gets the nutrition it needs, and it also means that your body doesn’t have to dump its excess toxins out through your skin, causing acne and inflammation.

Chocolate: Dark chocolate is packed with flavonoids, plant compounds that can help soften and hydrate your skin. Small portions of dark chocolate each day can help you have more glowing skin. Just keep your portion sizes in check, and go for quality over quantity when it comes to your chocolate!

Putting it All Together

Your skin is your body’s biggest organ, so it would make since that keeping it healthy and glowing would start by keeping your body in general healthy and in good working order. Shopping for the fresh, whole foods you need for this can be a little expensive, but you can fit healthy foods into your budget in several different ways. You can shop with a list, which helps you stick to just the things you need, and you can also use a cash back credit card for groceries to get a little bit of what you spend back every time.
