Arthritis ? Get the Pain Off Romance

The special moment has arrived. After 10 years of marriage, you decide to give other half one of those beautiful bespoke eternity rings to complement both the engagement ring and the wedding ring. Nevertheless, your body faces its wear and tear over the years. In this case, your partner, whom you cared so much for your whole life, may have developed painful arthritis.

Arthritis is a type of joint disorder, which usually involves the inflammation of joints. The inflamed joints grind against the bone even at the slightest movement, and that makes it extremely painful.In more severe cases wherein the inflammation is very obvious, the ring itself may not fit through the finger, with the inflamed part blocking its path to the finger's base. 

Fortunately, there are many ways to make it easier for her. Just follow the tips below so you can place that ring on her finger without making her suffer for it.

1. Avoid adding stress to the joints.

Joints ache more especially when subjected to undue stress. Doing household chores for her significantly reduces stress. Carry things for her, even though she can clearly lift the objects herself. It's still possible for her to join physically demanding activities, although she has to make sure it's one that's not too strenuous on her joints. Good examples of such activities are walking, stretching, or swimming.

2. Eating healthy is a good option for her. Food has a huge part in preventing (or causing) arthritis. Fat deposits on the joints can cause undue pressure, thus increasing pain. Crystals can form on the joints from too much salt, causing friction against the bones when the joints move. Ensure that she gets a healthy low fat, low sodium diet.

3. Eat oranges.

Citrus fruits like Oranges, lemons and pineapples are good antioxidants and are rich in Vit. C. These substances are very helpful in alleviating the pain. 

4. Take care of her bones.

Arthritis is an inflammation to the joints and bones. Help make her bones strong to help her alleviate the pain. To do so, let her drink lots of milk. The calcium in milk strengthens ligaments and bone tissues. But if your wife is lactose intolerant, there are other dairy products as alternatives. Good alternatives are salmon, broccoli, cheese, and yogurt.

Massages are great for her.

Once in a while, treat her to a first-class massage in a spa. A good, gentle massage eases muscle and joint tension. If the arthritis is severe, she can spend regular visits to a professional and certified physical therapist to ease the pain and to improve her flexibility.

6. Sit back and relax at home.

At the end of each day, warm up some water in the tub for her. A hot bath can release all the tension from her muscles and joints. Adding scented oils and making the bathroom look romantic (e.g., putting up flowers and candles) will make the experience even better and more relaxing.

Getting the right shoe size.

The thighs, knees, calves, ankles, and feet are subjected to enormous amounts of stress each day. But we usually seem to neglect them. Relieve the pain of her lower body by letting her put on the right-sized, padded footwear.

There you have it! By following the rules above, you can buy now and get that ring for her finger minus the pain.

Beautiful Valuable Stuff In Anniversary Sale

Window shopping and walking around the mall exhausted me. I got dizzy and I had to look for somewhere to sit down. Then I spotted some couches lining up the hallway. Many people are also heading there, just like me. I needed a little shut-eye. I wanted to relax and turned my mind off from the conversations of the people around me. I took deep breaths. I really want to halt the start of my headache. Eating something was what I needed to do also. So I started looking for someplace to eat. I had all the intention of finding a good place to eat at. I spotted a jewellery shop with sale sign on its front window on my way to the cafe. I got closer and got my eyeglasses. I saw many unique diamond engagement rings and other beautiful rings for sale.

I definitely have to tell my niece about this jewellery shop. But I drifted right off to sleep when I got home. I forgot to tell my niece about my find. A couple of weeks after that, my niece invited me to the mall. She wanted me to go to the mall with her. I readily agreed. That was then I remembered telling her about the sale at the jewellery shop. When we checked it out, they were having a month-long sale and everything inside were on sale.

I asked a personnel from the store to direct us to unusual engagement rings. My eyes went directly to a stunning ring. I asked the lady to let me hold the ring. She took it from the display window so she could show it to me. I asked my niece to take particular notice at the coloured stone in the middle. It looked like a champagne-colored diamond or sapphire. The lady said it is sapphire. There are diamonds encompassing the center stone. Each ring shoulder features a diamond, too. There were diamonds aligned at the band too. The band of the ring is inlaid with mokume gane, which gives the ring its allure.

I asked what mokume gane is so the lady asked her supervisor to resolve our query. He said mokume gane was a Japanese technique formulated centuries ago. Metals are layered producing beautiful patterns. The Japanese used this process on their katanas or sword blades. It was later used on jewelry when sword-making was in decline. We thanked him for the details.

I liked the effect of mokume gane that I looked it up in the internet. Aside from what the supervisor said, I found out that sterling silver, platinum, and 14 karat white gold with palladium will bring out the colors of white, light gray, and medium gray. The mixture of 14 karat white gold, sterling silver, and 18 karat yellow gold has yellow and medium gray colors. White and gray colors are the by-products of combining 14 karat white gold with sterling and palladium. Other combinations are also available to make dramatic colors and effects. I inquired for the store's contact number. The supervisor gave it to us saying to contact us for reservation.

Getting Her Ring Size Discreetly

Best things come in surprises. That notion applies to presenting unique diamond engagement rings to special ladies. It is such a lady's joy when the man she loves surprises her with a sparkling diamond ring as show his love for her.

However, the business of surprising is somewhat a burden and challenge to gentlemen. If you follow tradition, it's the men who gets the burden of getting the engagement ring. If he asks her directly about her ring size, it's very likely that his woman would deduce that the ring will be for an engagement. The surprise would be prematurely revealed.

If you want to keep your proposal a secret, what you would want to do is know her ring size without giving her a hint that you're about to pop the big question. And just how are you able to do that? No fret, there are few tricks for you to be able to get her ring size with discretion.

1. Is she a deep sleeper? Then you're in luck! Measure the circumference of her left ring finger when she is in dreamland. Have a penlight or a small flashlight ready; you would want to see the numbers in the dark. Do it really gently because the slightest movement may be enough to wake her up.

2. Check out the size of her existing rings. See if she wears her rings on the right. That ring is likely to be 1 or 2 sizes bigger than the ring finger on her left hand where the engagement ring is usually worn. Of course, you're in luck if you can find a ring that she may be wearing on her left-hand finger; that would definitely be the size you are looking for. Search her jewellery box discreetly. Take one of her rings, have it measured at your jewellers, then place it back before she notices it missing.

3. A few months before the big night, take her out to go shopping. At the right moment, bring her to a jewellery shop and buy her a ring. It may be cheap as you like. She may become suspicious, but tell her that this is just a gift of thanks or a gift that symbolizes your love as sweethearts. Let her fit the ring; initially, it may be too big or too small for her. When she arrives at the right-sized band, in your mind take note of the size so you'll have an accurate reference when it's time to buy the real engagement ring.

4. Sometimes, outside help is a boon. Ask a member of family of a friend of your lady to help you get her correct ring size. It is likely that her best friend, parent, relative, or sibling would know her ring size when they bought her a ring for her birthday, graduation, or some other special event. This is a good approach because your lady isn't likely to become suspicious. After all, why would she be suspicious of a family member or a best buddy? However, tell the friend or family member not to bust the silence to maintain the surprise.
