After all, taking on and off your ring shouldn't be painful! Choose a cloth or plastic measuring tape for a more accurate measurement. You can try a metal measuring tape, but it'll be a lot harder to wrap around your finger, and could cause injury. For an even easier measurement, check out different jeweler's websites for printable ring sizers. You can use these much like a tape measure, only the ring sizes are visible on the ruler itself, which means you don't have to convert the measurements. Don't wrap the paper too tightly. Aim for a snug but comfortable fit. Here's a fun fact: Even the same fingers on different hands are different sizes. Make sure to use the exact finger that will wear the ring. For an engagement ring, you should be sizing your left ring finger, not your right. The size of your fingers tends to change throughout the day. Weird, right? For best results, measure at the end of the day. Do this on a separate piece of paper with a pen or pencil. You can record the measurement in inches or millimeters, depending on the retailer. Many will have both measurements available, but a European retailer might only have measurements in millimeters. If you're using a printed ring sizer, mark the point where it overlaps directly on the ruler itself. Now that you've got the numbers, it's time to find your size. You can find these charts at many online jewelry retailers. If you want, you can print the chart for easy reference, but it isn't necessary. These charts convert measurements into ring sizes; for instance, 2.34" (59.5mm) would be a size 9. If your measurement falls between two sizes, go for the largest size. If you're using a printed ring sizer, check where you marked the overlap to figure out your size.
Summary: Wrap flexible measuring tape around your finger. Record the measurement where the tape overlaps. Compare the measurement to a sizing chart.

that will be comfortable based on the weather forecast. There's a big difference between what you'll need to wear for a hot-weather trip versus a cold-weather trip. Look at the weather forecast to see what temperatures are predicted for your travel dates about one week ahead of time. Remember that you'll need daytime clothes and clothes to sleep in. Depending on your planned activities, you may also need clothes for hiking, swimming, rock climbing, or other specific outings. Focus on packing lightweight clothes that can be easily put on or taken off as the temperature changes throughout the day and night. For cooler temperatures, don't forget to bring gloves and a hat, as well as an appropriate jacket. For example, wear a tank top underneath a long-sleeved shirt underneath a sweatshirt if you're camping in cooler weather. You can remove or add layers as needed. Long johns are great to wear underneath pants for an extra layer of warmth. Moisture-wicking clothing will be the most comfortable as it'll help keep your skin cool and dry, even if you're sweating. A rain jacket with a hood is a great investment because it'll keep your head and hair dry, which will make you more comfortable. Avoid jackets and clothes that are made of PVC (vinyl clothing). They'll keep you dry, but they aren't made of a breathable material and can cause you to overheat quickly. If you don't want to invest in waterproof boots, you can buy a spray that goes over your current shoes to help keep moisture from seeping through. Always wear your boots with socks, and avoid wearing new boots, as they'll most likely cause blisters and foot pain. Choose socks that are high enough to protect the back of your ankle from the rubbing motion that will occur when you walk. Never wear flip-flops or other flimsy shoes while hikingthey don't provide good protection from rocks, they don't support your feet, and they might break easily. If you have a new pair of boots, wear them around the house every day during the week before your camping trip and take short walks outside. This'll help break them in before you leave for your trip. Flip-flops are helpful to slip on while you're hanging out at the campsite. Wear them when you go the bathroom, to shower, or to get food or water. Putting on boots every time you wanted to move out of your tent could be exhausting! Bring traditional flip-flops or get a sturdier pair that laces around your ankles to help them stay on better.
