After Your Vacation Ends, Memories are All That Remain.

It has been the most horrible 50 days for my native country Ukraine, my family, friends, and the people I know who are there.

I feel awful and horrified, but it's nothing compared to the people in Ukraine, especially those who have lost their homes and loved ones.

Two weeks after February 24th, I started working again. It's hard to concentrate, it's hard not to read the news, not to speak up, and not to post information about what's going on there. It's hard to say "I'm good, how are you?" because it's a lie.

My mom and my grandma have moved to Europe. I call them twice a day and support them in any way I can. I am constantly messaging many of my friends in Ukraine and trying to help.

In order to be able to help, I need to work.

Today, I have a wedding. I want to start showing a little bit about my work and what I do, and my work also requires me to be active on Instagram.

Life goes on, even during those 50 days, although it feels like it's passing me by. It feels like I'm in a glass spacesuit where I see everything around me but don't feel anything besides suffocating sadness.

I will still post about Ukraine. I hope everyone can understand.

Glory to Ukraine!🇺🇦❤️

YELLOW GOLD is one of the most classic metals used for wedding bands, and it happens to be the most popular choice for men's and ladies wedding rings. Yellow gold is an incredibly versatile as it suits all skin tones and personality my favorite ☺

When you go to buy a yellow gold wedding ring, you need to consider how many "karats" the gold is. These aren't the same as the carats used to measure diamonds.

Karat represents the percentage of gold. For example, 24K (24 Karat) gold is 99.9% pure gold.  

If you want to know what 8K is, you divide 8K by 24K: 

8K is 33% gold.

10K is 41.6% gold.

14K is  58.3% gold

18K is 75% gold. 

The lower the karat, the less expensive the ring.

Basically, pure gold is too soft to be used for wedding rings. So, gold is mixed with other metals to form the ring. Karats measure the proportion of gold that is actually used in the ring, expressed as parts of 24. So, an 18K yellow gold ring is actually 18/24 or 75% pure gold.

Yellow gold is made by mixing pure gold with alloy metals such as zinc and copper to get the yellow color.

For a basic cleaning: rub a jewelry polishing cloth vigorously on the surface of the ring.

To remove scratches: you’ll need to take the ring to a jeweler.

A STORY ABOUT A COUPLE WHO DIDN'T PLAN A PHOTOSHOOT.
(Перевод в комментариях)

One of my lovely brides Lana messaged me and said she would love to have a photoshoot for her parents. They never had it and she really wants some nice photos of them. But, here's the deal, they don't have to know about it, otherwise they would never go! Sounds even more interesting for me because I never had that situation, besides proposals 😀 So they all together went to the beach for a walk, then came back to their car and thought they will go home. But here I came. We met on Lana's wedding and of course her parents recognized me)) And Lana finally said about our plan. As a very caring daughter she prepared new outfits for them and hid it in the trunk! Should I say they was surprised and kind of shocked?!😄🙈 To be honest I was worried they will feel uncomfortable and emotionally not ready. But our photoshoot turned out so great! Lana's parents relaxed very fast and we got so many happy, emotional moments that will stay with them forever 💕

Don't afraid your photoshoots! I know, you never feel ready. But when if not now?! I heard couple of days ago this words in the movie "we are not getting any younger!"😌
