After having my Pandora moments snake chain bracelet for a few months..I'm really considering selling it to get the Studded chain bracelet. It's really annoying to wear the snake chain bracelet and have it pulling my arm hairs..I don't even have much arm hair!!! Wish I had read more reviews so I could've avoided this problem.
Also I'm selling my Pandora moments linked hearts safety chain on Mercari if anyone is interested.
Just a very short post to say..Torrid has what I've been looking for the past year. I actually wrote a blog post about wanting more sexy active wear for plus size..in particular these mesh shorts from alo yoga but they don't make plus sizes...
..and Torrid has a similar pair! instead of mesh there's lace, but the same concept which was to make a pair of shorts where it almost looks like a pair of panties and the rest of the material is lace/or mesh.
I did purchase a pair and they fit perfect! Exactly what I was looking for!!! FYI: I wore these with granny panties and the shorts are long enough where they aren't visible.
Here's the 3 charms I picked to start my Pandora charm bracelet..well 2 charms and 1 safety chain.

the bracelet I picked..
really sad..none of my James Avery charms fit..I will have to purchase some split rings to add them..I measured what size for split rings by measuring the butterfly charm from Ohm beads..you will need 8mm split rings and a pair of pliers..
bracelet design..the butterfly, shell and sunflower charms are from ohm beads..
17cm wrist with the 7.5 snake chain bracelet..
I'm really considering going back for 2 clip charms with their current promo...I would get 2 heart clip charms and another heart charm..hmm..
A few cons after wearing this bracelet 4 days now..the bracelet pulls on your arm hairs..and also the safety chain unscrews it self so it sort of defeats the purpose..you might be better off purchasing 2 clip charms instead..
Here's my first purchase ever from Pandora. I bought the Star Wars Grogu charm. From ordering to receiving the charm, everything went smoothly. Order was placed on February 1st and delivered on the 7th. Total for my order with shipping and taxes for one charm was $44.53
Here's a few pictures along with a ruler for size reference. I can't believe Pandora doesn't have a picture that shows scale of the charms. I also took a few pictures with a charm of around the same price point from James Avery. The Pandora charm definitely has more weight to it.
My order was shipped in a small rectangle box. Since I chose no gift packaging, my charm arrived in a plastic baggie inside a jewelry box. An invoice was included and also a notice with QR code to check on the website for jewelry care & warranty information.
My charm did not come like this in the box..I did this for the picture..

Here's a proper size reference..along with a charm from James Avery around the same price..
I also partook in their other recent promo of 30% off if you purchased a bracelet with 3 charms. I will be sharing what I picked soon, and am so excited to start growing my Pandora collection. One thing is for sure, I really appreciate all the promos/sales they have. James Avery hasn't had any sort of sale for a couple of years now. I may have found a new place to indulge in my sterling silver jewelry collection..
I've been selling online since 2007, I've sold on ebay, etsy, and had my own dot com. Hundreds of thousands of sales..never have run into such difficult customers until Mercari. So, I have a few thoughts on what to expect, especially if you're new to online selling.
First off, unless you are selling BRAND NEW..always expect for the buyer to not leave positive feedback. I've noticed the only time I get negative feedback is when the item is sold as USED. Be prepared that no matter if you consider yourself a nit pick perfectionist such as myself, there's a chance your perfectionism isn't up to someone else's standards.
An example I can provide is, I sold a relatively new-ish pair of Torrid active leggings. The buyer left 3 stars, without an explanation and marked it off as "item cleanliness." What in the world??? I was racking my brain trying to figure out what went wrong..as they provided no additional feedback. I mean this pair of leggings practically looked brand new..I washed them and lint rolled..Then it dawned on me to look through this person's feedback to see if they left any comments. Sure enough, they mentioned to another seller how their items smelled too much like laundry detergent..So there it was..it's because they thought I used too much detergent..which funny enough I actually don't even use the suggested amount of detergent because I'm very sensitive to strong fragrance. Top tip to new sellers, make sure you wash pre-owned items with just water or a fragrance free detergent.
Also beware of customers paying no mind to your description or pictures too. I got 2 stars because a shirt where I clearly listed the measurements on the pictures & in the description said that I listed the size incorrectly. Buyer said it fit like a little boys shirt, when it was my husband's shirt and it fit him perfectly..What she should have wrote is that she ordered the wrong size and/or didn't thoroughly read the item description.
There's a few more instances that happened way before these two that caused me to put less effort into packing the little extras. No more hand written thank you notes, and no freebie stickers. I was also giving out my business card for my etsy store, and I quickly realized there's a chance for retaliation from unhappy customers so I stopped doing that months ago. Sorry:( It is true one bad apple spoils the bunch. I still do all the little extras for my etsy store though..
This post is a photo dump of funny items seen at my local Goodwill. I've been going on average once a month since October 2022. Really wish there was a Goodwill bins in my area. The store I go to is really tidy and easy to look through the racks. No vintage here though, not one t-shirt looks from the 80s or 90s. :( Probably the most vintage you'll get is maybe early 2000s.
Here's my favorite find thus far..
Tips for Thrifting at Goodwill San Antonio
Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your thrifting experience:
Come prepared: Bring a list of items you're looking for, a measuring tape to make sure furniture will fit in your home, and a bag to carry your purchases.
Shop often: Goodwill gets new items in every day, so the selection changes often. Shopping frequently means you'll have a better chance of finding what you're looking for.
Check for sales and discounts: Goodwill stores in San Antonio frequently offer sales and discounts, so be sure to check the website or in-store signage to see if you can save even more.
Inspect items carefully: Before you buy, make sure to inspect the item for any damage, such as holes or stains. If you're not sure about an item's condition, ask a store associate for help.
Just received my Savage x Fenty order and am excited to share. Only thing is, I pulled my back so a try on will have to wait. For now, I will be sharing my initial thoughts on the shipping and some pictures I snapped of the leggings.
Shipping: Ordered on Sunday, January 22, shipped on the 25th and received on the 30th. Quick shipping, correct order..no shipment issues at all.
Here's the peak performance legging in the color red cocoa in the packaging..and also the black caviar color as well.
Here's a picture of the mesh material. A quick inspection, I saw no flaws in the stitching and the mesh seems sturdy.
Another quick picture of the leggings..can't wait til I'm 100% so I can try these on. Hoping by the end of this week..
