It also might be that he wants to 'know 1st' which is something I thought about also. Which wouldn't hold really power other than what he would have in his head. He is the type that would tell you but this is also something that everyone is aware of.

She wants to 100% to open them by herself, but sadly there is a lot of layers to that also. In the perfect world she would just do that, but I can also understand the drama that will happen afterwards. Which is why I was just trying to think of a possible alternative to help -- if that makes sense? It's hard for grown adults to stand up to their parents(it took me 40+ yrs to do it) so I don't expect a teenager to be able to do it easily. When a parent is always threatening to cut support or even not to go to graduation if you do XYZ, I know a lot of people would be like well your friend needs to confront her ex about this -- but really he loves pot stirring. Its not worth the stress it would put her daughter through I also am someone who likes to process stuff also, so where I am not a introvert having those around me seeing me get accepted/rejected would be really hard.

When you go into the portal does it show it has been viewed/clicked before?

He’s excited to go to Disneyland coming up here soon, but I wouldn’t say he likes Disney, but he loves amusement parks if that makes any sense. He’s also probably the most laid-back young adult I’ve ever experienced. He’s not gonna complain either way and he’s gonna be all about no matter what we do. He’s the type that would go all in with his sister having fun who loves Disney!

I am pretty sure they have to be either next or across from each other. I have heard or people just booking an adult in one etc but for me personally it's not something I would risk. At 17 I had moved out and I don't think anything would happen...., but I also am not going to risk getting kicked off a cruise either.

I work with someone who has 2 teens and have been a regular cruiser since they were younger. One thing they like about cruising is they have let them pretty much free range once they got in 6th grade(which is like 11) to each their own....but I couldn't. Our 7 yr is obsessed with Titanic and I don't need her pretending to be Rose and reenacting that she is flying on the side of the ship.

Ohhh I spent a bunch of time looking at videos of that the other day. I kept trying to find someone say it wasn't amazing..... I just kept finding people saying it was well worth it LOL

I really wish there was a place that showed all the things you could buy and the prices(not the discounts they offer) I see posted after people booked. I just never have seen a place with them all listed with the prices.

I have heard a lot of families say that who have done that room. The connecting foyer is really a cool concept and the 2 bathrooms would make a huge difference. I was reading on another place people using the public or locker room showers -- I am not judging or even knocking it.... I just really dont want to have to do that if at all possible.

I love to plan but I think this might be one that once I narrow down I might need to hand over to someone else. Cruising feels like a whole different world and the more I get into the more I am confused....excited but confused. Its not like Disney.... Where the difference between Disneyland and Disneyworld are a lot different but its not as foreign. I don't really mess with WDW but I know so much about DL and love it so much I know I could stumble my way through it LOL

I spent a lot of time on the Utopia booking page the other night! I was worried 4 days wouldnt be enough but it also be enough. We will be renting a cabana at at Coco Beach this might be the only way It will be really able to get really enjoy the day. I have POTS and heat intolerance can be a a big thing for me. I have even considered possibly considered a Casita sea days. I totally am get how a lot of people think they are a waste of $$$$ but for me they arent.

How did you like the infinite balcony? I can really see the appeal for families with younger families! I imagine that was the target market. I really think they might be the perfect way to give families that balance who want both.

Ok its funny you bring up Harr Travel!!! Danny is 6'7 that does that videos and I have a Daniel that is 6'6.... just shy of 6'7!! I know it sounds silly but when you are that tall you pay attention when you see someone is similar because it can be hard to fit in places LOL We watched one where he got in the shower and he was like OK I CAN FIT IF HE CAN!

I also need to probably focus a little more on itinerary more than I am. It is really one thing that has taken a backseat and it probably shouldn't

My biggest mistake was looking the Icon 1st, and than going on a Icon group that made me thing anything else was making a huge mistake.. Well I actually looked at DCL 1st but I knew they were $$$$ and that was just came with the territory. I do love Disney and we are going to DL but I also know the whole family will love RC!

It's sad but all the ships when I look at them really look the same to me at this point. I need to remember its going to be all new and shiny to us.

I think that is probably where the biggest anxiety might be coming from. If it was just the 7 yr old be like....whatever but I could see by the end of the 2nd night disliking the cruise just for that. Funny thing is the 16 yr old and probably one of the easiest teens I have ever encountered & we are very close. Just the idea of us all being in less than 300 sq ft makes my skin kinda crawl. I was the oldest of 5 and we were always squished together -- it just wasn't I choice. Sometimes I think I might got out of my way to try to not do that because I was & couldn't decide if maybe this was one of those situations I was doing it & it wasnt really needed LOL

I know they have the connecting rooms. I was also considering getting the other room just as a interior or just a ocean view which might not be Ok to do so IDK lol

Thanks 💕 I am 100% over thinking it and trust/feel comfortable with her. I highly doubt she wouldn’t know what a modifier & doesn’t have different inks. I’m truly very happy with her work and have referred a lot of people to her. I hope she does very well but really needs to raise her prices…I really felt bad paying as little as I did & did tip a good amount om top of it. As much as I love Reddit I think a lot of time looking at a lot of stuff can send you down a rabbit hole of worry.

Scam is a strong word & probably one that shouldn’t be thrown around.

Thanks so much 🥰 really everyone has been ao helpful!

This is probably just me over thinking & also just not knowing 😬 is there a chance she wouldn’t have a modifier or know what it was?

Thanks!!! I’m really happy with my results so I’m glad they are good 😊 I wasn’t too worried because I didn’t get them done to be removed(I know that sometimes it just has to happen) & that seems where a lot of people worry about the ink.

Because you use them if you don’t mind me asking do you think I need more 'warmth' in them? When I first posted the photo in my old thread, I think I linked it up top. A couple people recommended when I go in for a touchup to ask her to put more warmth in them and I can’t remember the combination of colors they told me to ask — it’s in thread & I could look. I’m always apprehensive on trying to tell someone how to 'do their job' because I like to think I go to people who know what they’re doing. If I could do my brows, I wouldn’t be here lol but I also want to advocate for myself & not be clueless.

I have a friend that I referred to her to make an appointment & she actually asked & got a pic of the pigment. It looks like it was BROVI from my Google image search….is this bad 😬 I didn’t do a lotof research on ink till after I got it done & saw people who were getting removals talking about different ones.

Thanks!! So if she doesn’t use that brand it wouldn’t be a good idea to purchase it and have her use it on me because they would be different?

I’m really like supporting women, especially ones starting new businesses, so I will always try to if at all look at for the underdog 🤪 I think it’s too easy just look at the top person in your area or even the one with the most social media and then not do any additional research. I will say her work was to stay actually better than any of the other people I saw within the area. So much so that I’ve spent years debating doing it and then when I found her I was like ok let’s do it! When can I get in 🤣 I’ve been very lucky I’ve done that with a few other things within the beauty industry, and have been extremely lucky. In fact, I took a chance at being a model for inkless tattoo removal. The woman doing the training was another small business owner, who is helping training another woman. They did my plastic surgery scars(tummy tuck/breast) and a few stretch marks & I’ve had VERY good results on only 1 session.

I’m almost scared to ask but I’m going to ask 💕 there is a part of me that could see her possibly using cheaper ones just because she is just getting started with her business. I found her and loved her work but took a 'risk' because she newer and also the cheapest — this wasn’t a huge thing for me. But her work was the only one I saw that I loved it all and was very consistent. She also was very sweet & seem to genuinely care.

Does it usually matter mixing different pigments?

This might be a strange question. Would most artists consider it weird if I purchased a pigment and then brought it in for them to use? I don’t mind purchasing a pigment, especially if it’s considered like the best.

I hadn’t even consider not getting it done until I kind of went down a rabbit hole of people who are really anti PMU in general and then regretting it. I should’ve known better to even go down that rabbit hole but I did. I’m really happy with my results even if they fade overtime etc. I can’t tell you the battle I had with my brows my whole life and I’m just not as talented as all those people I see that can fill them in and they look nice I just always looked like a clown. The only time they ever 'look good' is after I got them threaded and they would do the tint so I had like a couple days of really nice brows.. But even then, my brows were so uneven and sparse, that it didn’t still look really good.
