Top 3 Tips for Shopping Designer Jewelry

Buying anything designer can be a little intimidating, especially for those of us who don’t do it often. Spending large sums of money in one outing can be a daunting task, but it pays off in the end if you do it the right way.

There’s a reason designer jewelry is more expensive than the cheap plastic stuff you can find littered throughout your favorite store at the mall.

First off, you’ll want to make sure you choose the right thing, but you won’t want to seem like a fish out of water especially if you’re physically in a store. At least online, you can hide your inevitable confusion and indecisiveness behind your computer screen.

Don’t worry; shopping for designer jewelry is not as hard or stressful as you might think.

Here are three top tips for shopping designer jewelry

1. Decide What You Really Want

Don’t just choose your item spur of the moment! That’s a good way to ensure you’ll be disappointed with your purchase and you’ll certainly wind up experiencing buyer’s remorse.

You need to know exactly what you want. When you step inside that store or you pull up that website on your computer, have your game plan already in the forefront of your mind.

What exactly do you want the most out of this experience? Do you want a beautiful and classic necklace that you can wear to any event? What about a festive ring for the holidays? Perhaps a headpiece for parties?

Do you want gold, silver? The options are endless, so be prepared!

2. Do Ample Research

If you’re going to be spending a ton of money in one purchase, you should be doing a ton of research as well. Don’t just choose the first thing that pops into your head.

This purchase is going to last you a long time and you’ll want to get as much out of it as you possibly can. Designer jewelry is well made and still looks brand new years later. You don’t want to choose something that’s going to get old quickly. Instead, go for something you’ll still be wearing for years to come.

It won’t kill you to do some style research online for an hour or so before you make any decisions. You’ll be glad you did.

3. Don’t Think About It Too Much

Above all else, you just want to enjoy your purchase! You’re doing this for you! Don’t let the sentiment of treating yourself get lost in the whirlwind of preparation. And once that purchase has been made, you can sit back and relax while flaunting your new beautiful piece of jewelry.

Don’t worry too much or over think it or else you might wind up with something you don’t actually want.

Just get what catches your eyes, as long as the research aligns with your wishes, and take the plunge! You’ll love it for years and years to come.

The ache of acne (pimples)

Acne is often the bane of a pretty face. It is painful more emotionally than physically, for the scar that it leaves behind can last for a lifetime, adding to one’s miserable look & feeling.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago. The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes! This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead ! I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such! Side-effects due to application of a pain balm was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm. This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it give me rashes now, when I had used it...
