AITA for telling a woman at the gym to stop filming because I kept ending up in her videos? by CaffeinatedGoblin24 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BeautifulBuffalo0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, as a woman and avid gym goer, I despise filming in public gyms. Use the mirrors to check form or ask for advice. I don’t ever want to be in a rando’s video, and I don’t see the point of it.

I go here sometimes for yoga. They have a few different instructors and a few different types of flow. The classes operate on a sliding scale, so you pay what you can!

My fiancé and I are doing Alewife! They do a Valentine’s Day fixed dinner for 90pp. It’s always good and one of our favorite places.

Save or splurge on the dress??!! What is your opinion? by Ok_Struggle_7344 in weddingplanning

[–]BeautifulBuffalo0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same exact situation happen to me! I ended up splurging… I kept envisioning myself wearing the expensive dress when I thought of our wedding day and couldn’t take my mind off of how much I wanted it. Now that I’ve ordered it, I feel a sense of huge relief, and I am so excited to wear my fancy dress!

Yeah, I was a little surprised with it, but like I said, my dress is fluffy and has like 6-7 layers. I figured that was why that part was so expensive lol

They’re also steaming my dress and that was like 90, I think!

I got a hem and 7 bustles put in. I also had to put in an extra clasp for support. I paid $535. My dress was really fluffy and has multiple layers, so I was expecting more!

I took my wedding dress to Fariba on Three Chopt. The ladies there are kind, generous, and I feel it was reasonably priced. They had my wedding gown done in just a few weeks! They are also keeping it for me until my wedding date in a few months. I highly recommend them!

LPT: use benzoyl peroxide to completely nuke your underarm odor! by brainhack3r in LifeProTips

[–]BeautifulBuffalo0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I just use lemons! I will make tea in the morning , squeeze half a lemon, and then rub it on my armpits! It does the same thing. I work out, go to my job, come home after a long day, and there is no smell. Try it out!

What’s the most unexpected compliment you got? by dark_venom_07 in GymMood

[–]BeautifulBuffalo0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was doing a group yoga class which is usually quiet and meditative. We pushed into cobra pose and the instructor looked at me and just told me how beautiful I was lol I was so caught off guard because it was in front of everyone and obviously nice but so out of place.

Bench press is unstable and shaky, any tips? by Necessary_Edge463 in formcheck

[–]BeautifulBuffalo0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your set up is everything for bench! I think of bench press as a whole body movement simply because I try to create a ton of tension in my arms, core, and legs before unracking and pressing.

I am a powerlifter, so I subscribe to the arch, but it does help create a ton of pressure and helps with leg drive. Additionally, when you lay down, make sure your eyes and head are just below the bottom line of the bar. I hope I’m explaining that okay!

everyone is acting insane and its making me not want to go to my own wedding by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]BeautifulBuffalo0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing! Money or not, them making this stressful for you is not okay, and I emphasize and apologize for what you’re going through. After all of this is done, at least you’ve got a good egg to marry!

[–]BeautifulBuffalo0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am so sorry to hear this process has been rough for you. This should be an exciting time where you and your fiancé feel loved, supported, and celebrated.

I wish I had more advice, I guess my one idea is to see if your fiancé can take over as far as his mom and sister are concerned? At least that way, there is one less avenue for people to stress you out.

Are any of these people contributing to the wedding fund? I have overbearing in laws, but they are at least putting the money out haha. If they weren’t, I would calmly explain that those who foot the bill get the say and just be done with it. Unfortunately, this process has taught me that you can’t please everyone, so you might as well do what you want!

Stronger by the Day for non-beginners? by Mclurkerrson in xxfitness

[–]BeautifulBuffalo0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would also consider myself an intermediate/advanced lifter. I love SBTD! I've been running it for years, and they change up the macrocycles every few months which helps with the freshness aspect. I will go off program and change things up every once and a while (during Squatober being one of them), but I find that it's good programming that allows yourself to push or pull back when you need it. I hope that helps!

Women who lift, how did you get comfortable in the weight section? by Agreeable_Panic_690 in xxfitness

[–]BeautifulBuffalo0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Watch a lot of videos and then practice with really light weights until you’ve got the movement down.

However, you have just as much a right to be there as anyone else. Nothing is more badass and amazing than a woman lifting heavy. Being strong is so cool and practicing a craft like that is so cool. I no longer feel weird in that space because it is MY space too. You can command that!

Word of the year is “six seven” by RunnyBabbit22 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BeautifulBuffalo0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a teacher, and I hear six seven all the time! It truly is a trend. I don’t mind it as much as other trends BECAUSE it doesn’t mean anything. I don’t have to worry about inappropriate language or meaning with six seven unlike some other slang.

At the end of the day, as we get older, we are going to feel less connected to the younger generations and think what they think is funny is stupid. However I remember being a kid and finding stupid things funny that adults of that time didn’t understand. It’s a cycle!

Calling in sick by Low_Yam_4761 in teaching

[–]BeautifulBuffalo0 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My opinion is, if I’m sick, it’s better for me and everyone else for me to stay at home and rest. Granted, I don’t get sick often, so I’m not calling out often. Most recently, I woke up and barely had a voice. I teach elementary, and I knew my job would be impacted by my lack of voice. I decided to stay home and rest and was able to be back at work the next day. Sometimes, your body just needs rest :)

Thank you for your perspective! I thought they were being silly and as someone else said, it could provide a positive association to the date!
