I have a bunch of fun charms (mobile charm from a temple recently, Riddler coin in my wallet, a prosperity bead bracelet from an Indigenous artist in Taiwan, etc. etc.) but the most permanent one is the silver pendant my mum made me wear as a child and I literally never take it off except for those chest x-rays, it feels very odd to do so, I feel kind of naked without it.

I have two small, stackable silver rings with children’s names engraved on them. I got the first one right after I returned to work with my first. It was really hard leaving him, so I got it as a comfort for myself. Naturally, I got one when my second was born as well.
I didn’t realize how attached I was until I briefly lost them at work. I never take them off, but I did to help a kid and they fell out of my pocket. I was panicked even though they’re replaceable. They’re the only jewelry I wear 24/7 (aside from my daith). My wedding ring set is really important to me, duh, but my husband took a silversmithing class through the park district to make it and it’s just so perfectly me.
I also have a gift for finding 4 leaf clovers, so I keep those around. At this point I always have rocks and/or crystals on me. It’s fun grabbing a jacket or bag I haven’t used and finding what I’ve stashed 😂

Around a year ago, I developed a craving for jingling and jangling as I move, so I started passively looking for the type of jewelry that would do this. From there, I set my sights on the necklaces and bracelets made of coins. I find coin jewelry charming and a bit cheesy, the cruise ship equivalent of spoons bent and soldered into rings. I recently picked one up from a very old man selling antiques on Portobello road and have worn it since. It feels a bit bohemian, even the coins around my neck are not (being old American or British currency, I have not looked hard enough to be sure). Because it fits tight around the neck, the coins neither jingle nor jangle when I move, but there is a phantom clanging that does the job.

it's totally cool to age and society still isn't equipped to deal with that.

Sometimes you try your best and everything seems to hit the fan no matter how much you try, so you take that raincheck and take yourself out for a day.

This is what I call it hahahah made by mums everywhere but the greased up version is sold along stalls in Mumbai. Two regular slices of white bread, buttered, and the middle filling is cream cheese with red onions, coriander/cilantro, tomatoes and some minced chillis. All veggies chopped mini cube size so they blend with the cheese. Toasted crispy.
