Is It Called A Navel Or Belly Button Ring?

FOR CHEAP BELLY BUTTON RINGS GO TO ADORNED SOUL.
Check out this if you’re looking for a Jamaican Pot Leaf navel ring.

Even though I lack spontaneity and couldn’t jump up and go have my belly button pierced today with my sister’s friend, I still decided to finally go and get it done. Her friend bought two rings and decided to wait until they arrive to get the piercing. We’re going to go together.

I also bought three rings at Body Candy. I’m such a dork! Why is it that people who are, for the most part, BROKE always spend money that they should really save for something more important? I guess getting my rebate check really made me realize that I should spend at least $100 on myself. I’m halfway there, by the way. It was so hard to limit myself to just three. I’m glad they didn’t charge for shipping & handling or tax. And of course…there are pictures.

The bad news set in when I called a piercing place that a friend recommended. I quickly learned the shop will take my jewelry, but only if it’s an actual circular ring. I’m going to call the one I planned to go to in the first place tomorrow and see if they’ll use the body jewelry instead of an actual navel ring. That’s the only reason I got ring #1. I read online that the jewelry is easier to clean than the ring and that it’ll promote keeping it in until the piercing is fully healed (3-4+ months) because it’s much easier to find a likable one.

I can’t wait to get them! I think they’re all super cute. And regarding ring #3…No, I don’t smoke marijuana. It was the closest ring I could get to something representative of my Jamaican heritage.

As previously written, we’re going in to get the piercing soon after the rings arrive. The free shipping was 2-7 days, so I guess at the latest I’ll have the operation the week after next. I’ll make a post about how it went. I know that I’m going to buy more once the healing occurs. That’s if I keep up with the regime of silly tasks necessary to keep the dang thing from getting infected. If that happens, I’ll just say goodbye to the rings and give them to my boyfriend’s sister or one of my friends.

Why Comparing Credit Cards Before You Apply Is A Good Thing

March 6, 2008   Filed Under: General   297 words

When it comes to credit cards, there are many misconceptions, pitfalls, and of course good things. A common misconception is that you should apply for a “pre-approved” offer that you received in the mail. While some of these are actual pre-approvals, it takes a while for the credit card companies to get these letters out, so the credit condition that you were pre-approved for from three months ago may be invalid now. That’s if your credit information has changed. Common pitfalls include high interest rates, yearly fees, and other inconvenient fees for dealing with late payments, cash advances, balance transfers, and overage.

For almost every bad thing, there’s usually a good thing. Credit cards are no exception. The great thing is that they’ll help you to build a solid credit history, which may help you to get a loan (home, car, education, or even just a small personal) in the future. Your credit report also affects your car insurance, certain careers, and your ability to rent a house or an apartment. The trick is getting a credit card that can really benefit you. That’s why it’s important to do a comparison search before you apply for a credit card.

If you’re in the market for a credit card, I would advise shopping around for one of the interest free credit cards. Even though it may only be a few months to a year of interest-free purchases, it’s worth getting. The credit card company is going to make plenty of money off of you in the future, so keep as much as you can now.
