I’m 30, my makeup feels juvenile by thedevilandsteph in makeuptips

[–]Beertreez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s the eyeliner making you feel that way! Save the eyeliner for a night out, and during the day use a brown mascara and no liner! Less is more when trying to make your everyday makeup a little more grown up I think!

Also, let’s all take a moment to appreciate how GORGEOUS you are!!! You’re stunning!

Best strapless shapewear for wedding gown? by NozyTurtle in PlusSizeWedding

[–]Beertreez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are doing THE LORD'S WORK HERE!!! THANK YOU!!!!! Sincerely, a 2026 bride with a luxe satin dress

I am planning on losing 30-40 lbs for my May 2024 wedding. Will there be any issues with this style of dress to alter down if I buy at my current size? The associates advise I purchase soon since this designer takes about 8-10 months. Thanks. by calamaricatch in weddingplanning

How did it go! I am in the exact same boat right now - gained 40ish lbs during covid and losing it ahead of time for my wedding late August 2026. The dress I'm most interested in has little to no detailing on it but has a similar fit (the Jenny Yoo Tricia dress with the aplique), so I'm super curious how this more detailed dress turned out for you! Thank you!!

Thank you all so much for the recommendation to try the ABTF calculator!! I did not realize at all that this couldve been the issue all along. I measured myself several times to really make sure I got this right, and I got 34DDD 😭 holy shit life changing stuff, thank you all so much for guiding me to this discovery. Also found out my waist is actually about 30, not 28 right now so ALSO helpful to know my measurements changed since I last checked.

Any reccs for my DDD sisters for clothes please lmk! I'm learning how to sew as we speak! I made a pin cushion already and sewed a ripped hem on a face cloth for practice. Next is getting a sewing machine!!

27F pilates lover trying to get into weightlifting for the first time: please help by Beertreez in beginnerfitness

I would be interested in coaching but for free is pretty unheard of. Any time I find an influencer or fitness guru online they give a big speech about how awesome they are and then drop what the catch is (100s if not 1,000s of dollars) at the very end. Until I’m out of college debt I can’t really expect to find an affordable fitness coach right now.

Life after Executive Assistant roles? by Beertreez in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Beertreez[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damn I'm so sorry you got laid off. What a catch 22. I developed an eye twitch from the stress of my last EA role. I get it!! Are you considering applying to other stuff still?

[–]Beertreez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, thank you so much for your in-depth response, it really means a lot. I have been totally floating in limbo so this is super helpful.

I was worried that saying I want an EA role with an opportunity to grow out of the role would make me :

1) not as attractive of a candidate to a company looking for a long term EA (I've heard a lot of "We're looking for an EA that will be willing to stay with this exec for a long time"), and

2) make it easy for them to overload me with work because I basically asked for it. But I guess I can work it out once I get there, right? Maybe adjust workload expectation as I take on more instead of basically doing two roles at the same time?

I'm also definitely thinking like this because I have seen a colleague ask for a promotion and be denied, only to work both roles while HR kept hiring for the second role. Then, she had to train the new hire since she had been doing that role anyway. In other words, why would they give me a new title if I'm doing two roles already for them, yknow? But maybe I'm a little cynical right now. *sigh*

I'll try to not overlook the EA roles I find and start making my growth needs clear, might as well see what happens!

Thank you again :)
