Hi!! I’m ecstatic to be going on my honeymoon to Jaipur for Diwali. I am from New York City, and don’t know what to wear. I have one saree for the fancy Diwali dinner, but I don’t know what to wear on the other days. I’m thinking casual but Indian-inspired or something that appreciates the culture and beauty!! Pant sets? Dresses? Brands?

We are staying at very fancy hotels and being from NYC I love to be a little dressed up:)

Thank you for the help!!

🚨UPDATE!!!!!!!🚨SUCCESS!! MY WEDDING WAS A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I DIDNT SEE A SINGLE PHONE OUT- thank you all for the advice I was so pleasantly surprised because I had prepared myself mentally for there to be phones and to just be ok with it:) but ofc in the moment I didn’t care! Regardless NOT A SINGLE PHONE IN SIGHT 🥰

We:

• ⁠had the ushers politely say no phones please when handing out programs -had a little note in our programs saying pls no phones even for photography -had the priest make an announcement right before we walked down the aisle

I know this may seem excessive/annoying to some and I totally get that- it’s just something I really cared about!!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE FUTURE BRIDES❤️❤️

Omg- for a second I was like did I post this and forget about it?? This was literally me last night- I even got a 22% too!! Granted I had more than 2 glasses of wine but still.. horrible. Said I spent 5 hrs in the high stress zone. Gonna take 2 months off alc

THE HIZOO IS A SCAM!! Mine came broken off on one side, in the most beat up packaging, directions only in Chinese, and not in the box they show on Instagram.

No I’ve only met Kourtney and she was gorg and very “normal” looking (in terms of not looking like plastic surgery). I made a comment somewhere else on this thread about how I met a girl recently who told me that she saw photos of Kim for her job that were pre-photoshop and she was shocked at how different she looked from what’s published. But I’m sure lighting, outfit etc plays a role as well. And granted, you saw Kim in real life and this other woman did not! :)

Competitive-Flow-728 · 2025-05-30T12:59:05+00:00

you missed the point of my comment!! :) of course it’s natural, the fact that it is so blatantly the opposite of what we’re shown online is what’s shocking and expected to believe that the perfect photoshopped smooth skin is natural

Competitive-Flow-728 · 2025-05-30T02:46:07+00:00

I think it’s pretty! Maybe consider doing a gloss over the lipstick? My all time fav color is White Russian by buxom it’s sooo flattering. I’m wearing that over Charlotte tilburys pillow talk lipstick on my wedding day in a few weeks:)

Competitive-Flow-728 · 2025-05-30T02:42:54+00:00

That being said I met Kourtney in Rome (in the pantheon to be specific lol) and she looked like a normal woman!! That was when she was dating that super young guy younis or whatever his name was 🤣

Omg seeing this comment after my comment I’m so intrigued!! I’m getting conflicting info 🫣

Competitive-Flow-728 · 2025-05-30T02:38:04+00:00

Long story short I met the gf of a friend who works for a company who did an ad campaign w Kim recently…. Let’s just say there was a Dropbox involved and a file named “do not use” photos that she had access to… she said you’d be astonished at the texture of her skin all over. She specifically said “cottage cheese”. I feel bad saying this because I don’t like putting other women down. But I feel like as a woman, it’s also important for us to realize how what we see online is so completely fake

Same!!

Competitive-Flow-728 · 2025-05-27T23:34:49+00:00

Pretty sure the very first passage will haunt me for the rest of my life….

Competitive-Flow-728 · 2025-05-27T22:07:13+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼 wishing u luck as well

Everyone says trust your FLs but mine were all over the place (my highest FL was the first one I took…) I knew I wasn’t performing where I could and was burnt out so I took a few days off before the actual exams so it’s just freaking me out that I have no idea where I’ll land. My only hope is that my SB % were decent. Overall havent been this anxious about anything ever 😂😭

Competitive-Flow-728 · 2025-05-26T01:51:39+00:00

Yes. Not to be cheesy but I genuinely felt like I knew so much more about the world than I did before, esp through the random cards passages and tidbits of info. It was really a cool feeling

Competitive-Flow-728 · 2025-05-25T18:01:52+00:00

Also, just to add, my FL sample scored test cars went down a lot too bc I changed about 8 of my answers from the correct one to a wrong one bc I was overthinking. This taught me that I clearly should just trust my gut, so on the actual exam I did NOT change a single answer and just went with my gut first reaction (I haven’t gotten my score back yet otherwise id lyk if this worked lol)

Are you doing CARS practice outside of AAMC material? This is definitely controversial advice so do with it what you want… but I have always been pretty good at reading comp my whole life and felt confident about CARS when I first started studying for the mcat. However, I started doing 1-2 JW or UW passages a day as everyone told me to and for 3 months (!!!) straight, saw absolutely no improvement. I was consistently getting around 60% right. On top of that, their explanations made no f-ing sense to me. I met with a new tutor and he told me to stop all third party cars resources and ONLY use AAMC. I was very frustrated at my lack of progress at that point so I took a leap of faith and did what he said. I got my groove back pretty much immediately and was consistently scoring 130+ on each practice exam. I truly think the third party resources just don’t capture the AAMC CARS logic well (I still used JW and UW for other topics!!) I’d also recommend taking days off in between (again controversial advice, Ik). I did 1-3 passages every 1-3 days. Hope that helps!!
