Gift to myself!

 I bought myself a wonderful gift to celebrate my weight loss!  A chocolate diamond ring from Le Vian.  It signifies my new relationship with chocolate.  I am still 17 lbs from goal but there was a special event from Le Vian at a Jared Jewellers near me.  I bought it and I wasn't going to get it sized until I lost the last few pounds.  However, it fits perfectly!  So I'm wearing it!  Size 6.75!  I was wearing a size 9 ring just 6 months ago!  How awesome!  

If I could figure out how to post a pic on here I would.  I am on my IPad, but when I get on my PC I will add a picture to my photos at the very least. Trust me, it's gorgeous.  

And there is a uniquely powerful feeling to buying a diamond ring for yourself.  I have always depended on my husband to buy one for me.  Even though we are separated, he offered to pay for this one too.  Ladies, if you can afford it, I highly recommend buying yourself a special gift like this at least once.  It is an amazing feeling!

Pictures....YES!  So happy things are finally putting a smile on your face!

I sold jewelry at a family owned jewelry store ( not my family) for 18 years but when my DD was picking out her ring I went with her to Jarads and I was in awe.  They have the most unique settings there. She only got the setting there because I got things at cost where I worked so I wanted to make sure she got a beautiful diamond set in the center of it.

 Congrats Tonya!  I buy myself jewlery often - and yes, diamonds.  I too bought myself (after my first divorce) a diamond ring I love.  I still wear it.  I have bought several for myself since.  I figured if I wanted it, then i'd buy it, regardless if I was in a relation****
