I love pearls. Nearly every day in the Before Times, I wore a Mikimoto single pearl necklace to the office — it was classic, subdued, and went with everything. Right now, I still want something that goes with everything, but bolder.
As the name suggests, Mejuri’s Bold Pearl Necklace might be the update I’m looking for. This elegant 16″ necklace is strung with 25 oval, freshwater pearls. It’s a different take on your traditional string of pearls but still looks great with everything — you can dress it up or down. It would also look great layered with another gold chain or drop pendant necklace.
The necklace is $250. Mejuri prices their products without the markup of traditional brands, so you receive the same high quality materials and craftsmanship for less!

Anyone have suggestions for a duffle bag that I can buy from Target or Amazon for less than $50? I just need something that would work for 2-3 day trips when I don’t want a suitcase (in the future).
Well, we had a good run but got the dreaded call this morning – someone in my kid’s preschool class has Covid. We’re keeping her home along with her little bro (not required, but seems like the right thing). And awaiting further instructions. We’re all planning to test Sunday.
I’m 14w pregnant and had my first Pfizer dose scheduled for today, which I now have to skip — ugh! And of course now I’m nervous I’ll get covid. Anyone have advice? Doesn’t seem possible to isolate from the kids.
FTM and wondering now that summer is approaching how you handle special events (weddings specifically), family gatherings, things you cannot negotiate the time for, and kid bedtime. My daughter is 6 months and we haven’t gotten out much or gotten any sitters. If it’s something important and you want them to come, do you just see how long they last? Curious how this works now and as they get older.
I’m starting the process of finding an RE for secondary infertility. I have names for a few doctors in the area that friends have seen and resulted in successful pregnancies, I’ve checked which ones are in /out of network and determined that injectable fertility meds are not covered by my insurance but might be covered by a pharmacy benefit plan I have. My current thought is to get an appointment with the in-network doctor even though they are less convenient (25 minute drive from home; 40 min from work during non-pandemic times) because the cost difference between in-network and out-of-network is at least $20k under my plan. I’ve spoken to my insurance company and they have confirmed this for the specific providers I’m considering. The out-of-network doctor is 25 minutes from home; 15 minute walk from work. I’m not currently working in the office and don’t expect to return until September but I think I’ll have decent flexibility when I go back (senior associate Biglaw). Will I regret picking the further away doctor? Both places have similar success rates on their websites and in the SART data.
What else did you wish you knew at this point? I have a couple friends who have been through this, but I’d prefer folks not know I’m trying just yet so I don’t want to ask them. If it helps, I’m 38, partner is 41, we have a 2 year old and have been trying for 6 months.
This is going to sound silly … but how do you know if little kids are happy at daycare? At a new center, and dropoff and pickup have been really stressful with lots of chaos. The teachers say things are going fine, and I’ve been trying to trust that but having a hard time not worrying.
Am I crazy to let my 3 year color her hair with hair chalk for “wacky hair day” at school?
Please send positive vibes. My youngest has a cold, so both kids have to stay home until we get a negative COVID test. DH and I are completely slammed at work this week with some super time sensitive deliverables, and back up care isn’t available due to COVID. Here’s hoping we get a negative test and the baby feels well enough to go back to daycare ASAP.
For anyone who has had a third c-section, could you speak to how the experience compared to your earlier ones? If you can say how old you were, that’d be great, too! I’m having our third at 42 (will be 43 at birth) and am a little nervous for the recovery. (And yes, yes, I know I’m super freaking old to be doing this.)
You guys are always handy with this stuff – about to list our house – any tips or good products for whitening grout on the floor of a kids bath? It’s not terrible but really trying to make our house look as nice as possible! TIA!
This reminds me of something Kamala Harris would wear.
I had laparoscopic surgery to remove an ovarian cyst and they removed the ovary with it. The recovery was a bit harder than I’d expected or when I had just had a cyst (and not an ovary) removed. Does anyone have any experience with this surgery? Am I right to expect the recovery to be a bit harder when they take an ovary and Fallopian tube? Thanks!
