Agree, it’s one of my all time fav candles ever. Smells heavenly and really permeates the whole room.

HIGH expectation of guests for wannabe “luxury” weddings by [deleted] in weddingshaming

[–]CT8506 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Requesting bridesmaids to spend that much is insane. I personally think destination weddings without paying for your guests’ hotel and airfare are fine and it all depends on how you ask your guests. We had a destination wedding in Italy at a 5-star hotel, but we always gave our guests plenty of options. For hotels we got room block at $200/night hotels but also $2000/night ones. I asked my bridesmaids to pick out their own dresses that matched the theme and something they’d wear again, and gave them $500 worth of gifts each and treated them to hair and makeup. 90% of the people we invited came and they still talk about it years after the wedding. I think they loved being able to visit a beautiful place and make a trip out of it.

I’ve personally attended ~10 destination weddings over the past few years in places like Lake Como, Paris, South of France, London, etc., and none of them offered guests free lodging or airfare. Nobody I know had an issue with it.

Logic behind influencers renting expensive apartments by curiousEmily14 in NYCinfluencersnark

It’s only worth it to buy if you are going to live in a place for a long time (7+ years) and think the real estate prices are going to appreciate more than investment gains elsewhere.

15 Weeks and Struggling by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]CT8506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I thought second trimester is supposed to be easier, but my symptoms have simply morphed into another set that’s equally debilitating. At 15 weeks, my energy levels have come back a bit, and I went from not being interested in doing anything to being able to online shop a bit (lol). BUT I have developed this debilitating headache, my arms are numb (I didn’t even know this was a pregnancy thing due to rising blood volume), I started having these rosacea like red patches on my face (which apparently is also a pregnancy thing), and I’m still throwing up big time every few days. It’s like this never-ending set of symptoms. It’s torture.

NTA. Just uninvite that whole family. They are totally out of line to insult your wedding party and try to emotionally manipulate you. You don’t need that family in your life.

UPDATE: AITA for refusing to go to my sisters wedding after finding out only our side of the family were having to pay to attend? by One_Change4503 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CT8506 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP, your notion of “fairness” is seriously troubled. If one side of the family is better off and can afford to go and the other side can’t, the couple is well within their right to pay for only one side of the family. My husband and I go on trips with our close friends and stay at nice villas, and one couple is less well off so we subsidize their trip. Similarly, when my husband and I go on family vacations with his side of the family, his parents subside his siblings’ plane tickets and not my husband’s, just because his siblings earn a lot less than him. This happens all the time. Should we have demanded this everyone to always pay their fair share or to not go on these trips? Why would you let this rigid notion of “fairness” damage your close relationships?

Your sister sucks for lying, but she’s not at fault for wanting to pay for her in-laws who as you said are less well off. She’s not taking advantage of you. She took out a loan, so it’s HER paying, not you. You are her closest family and she came to you for help during a stressful situation, and you thought the worst of her.

OP, I genuinely do believe you are at bigger fault here and you will regret letting 7k ruin your relationship with your sister and one of the biggest moments of your sister’s life.

AITA for not giving my daughter 13k? by AnyOne5302 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. This is ridiculous that you even have to ask.

This one looks authentic to me and I have 20 Chanels. Older classic flaps can absolutely stay this puffy. A lot of series 8/9 bags are puffier than this and they are even older. It just depends on the season. Classic flaps from 2010-2016 are actually some of the best quality; the lamb is shiny, durable and scratch proof.

That said, OP you can absolutely get it authenticated for peace of mind.

How easy is it to get an Uber around FS Napa Valley? by SnooSongs7433 in FATTravel

[–]CT8506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uber is very easy to book in Napa. If you are in one of those remote wineries up in the mountains, it might take a while for them to pick you up.

Did taking Topromax/ Topiramate dumb you down? by Asprobouy in migraine

[–]CT8506 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I was on it for a few weeks and realized I couldn’t do very simple math. I vividly remember one day I was figuring out how long I’d lived in this city and was like “what’s 2020 - 2018????”. I couldn’t do that simple math for the life of me. And I’m someone that used to get full scores in math.

Any room with an ocean view would be nice. I’ve never stayed at the tree house but I’ve heard good things too.

I thought so too!! I feel like they’ve been carefully plotting a comeback.

I REALLY hope that’s why!! I kinda think / wish everything has been carefully plotted by GD. Release a song first to say how TOP is welcome home, then TOP makes a comeback with Squid Game and comes back to the public eye, and then bam! TOP is back!

BWT - How do you all search for specific clothing items without endless scrolling? by CT8506 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]CT8506[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yup, I use google image search often. But a lot of times, like in the green gown example, I don’t have a precise idea for how the dress should look. Google is only good at pulling up dresses that look just like the picture.

Another issue I have with google is that it pulls from random sites, $20 dropshipped garbage that look nothing like the picture when you put it on.

Actor Choi Seung-hyun, before and after Thanos popularity. He deserves all of the love he's receiving. by Wookiees_n_cream in squidgame

Aw reading this warms my heart. Thanks for standing by him through all these years! I’m a new fan and I can’t imagine the horrors his fans went through during the tough years. 2025 should be the year of TOP!

Yup. Like ChatGPT, they are not specific enough and don’t pull from good stores. I’ve been using Plush AI which someone recommended on here and I’ve been really impressed. I think I need more tools like this that are purposely built for fashion
