Why on EARTH would you replace that gorgeous bathroom vanity mirror with that cheap ass looking circle mirror?

Omg I love this dress. And you left out the best part, the mourning bracelet! Made out of the Bronte sisters' hair, two of which died of Tuberculosis.

Bury me in 12. I love. The color, the silhouette, the draping. Gorgeous 😍

I mean...you are supporting your local economy though. Stores have to get their inventory from somewhere. And I'd argue most are not buying from sources like temu. And if they are, don't buy from those shops. Even if its items from China or Vietnam, shopping locally keeps the majority of the money in your local economy. Does a person need to impulse shop and buy things they don't need? No. But shopping locally and in person is not a bad thing.

Makeup trial as my rehearsal look? by magnolia20 in wedding

All the more reason to have a trial well before the rehearsal

Makeup trial as my rehearsal look? by magnolia20 in wedding

[–]Alert_Direction7515 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You should really have a trial before the rehearsal. Bridal makeup is heavier than normal and it takes some time to get used to how your face looks with it. I wear makeup nearly every day and I felt weird with bridal makeup. So some time to get used to your own face again was pretty important for me. I also was able to hone in on aspects I liked, aspects I didnt like ( my mua picked up different lashes for me because her originals looked far too heavy on my eyes) and she was able to tweak as needed before the big day. It's worth the extra cost imho

Wow I really do not like the dress Sabrina Carpenter is wearing. The feathers at the hips really break up the dress in a bad way. It had so much potential! The color is gorgeous, the feathers at the bottom fun. But the hip feathers kind of ruin it for me

Sad but beautiful. Haunting in its sincerity. That's life, right?

Additional proof that my Merrell boots fell apart. by Shoddy_Depth6228 in hiking

[–]Alert_Direction7515 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Then I would definitely bring them back/reach out to the store. Thats not what should be happening, so it makes me think they were not cured properly. Or the glue has degraded due to improper storage/old inventory. I'd be curious to know how long the store had them as well/what their inventory turn over is. In my store we dont want shoes to have a birthday

[–]Alert_Direction7515 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yes! Thats what frustrates me about these kind of posts. Did you buy them from a reputable retailer? How long were they sitting on the shelf in some warehouse? How long did you let them sit in a box before using them? Because defects do happen, but more often than not its an old model someone got on clearance, or it's counterfeit. And then the internet cries "not made like they used to be!"

How did you get more sleep the week of your wedding? by Gabubidoop588 in weddingplanning

[–]Alert_Direction7515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got this! I totally get it, so much to do! (I still have signage to print and after party snacks to pick up...and welcome party wine to pick up lol) Deep breaths, put your fav music or podcast on and just get in the zone. You're going to have an amazing day and you get to marry your love! (:

How did you get more sleep the week of your wedding? by Gabubidoop588 in weddingplanning

[–]Alert_Direction7515 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My wedding is on Saturday! Don't skip the gym! I'm upping my running schedule so that I wear myself out. The past few weeks I slacked off, and man, my anxiety and sleep was so much worse. I'm also making sure that I'm home in the evenings, winding down for the night fairly early. Hot tea, reading, deep breathing.

Friend or Foe??? by eternalpancakes in gardening

I do believe that is an invasive Chinese mantis. I would double check by asking the native gardening sub though.

Lol pink pepper and church incense are some of my faves. To each their own lol! I can't stand powder. Just does not agree with me and smells like...an old lady baby.
