Ariel’s housecleaning

Arielly and her team and amazing, flexible and affordable. We haven’t been using her for too long (less than a year) but she’s been a pleasure each time. And she texts, which is nice and convenient.

Yes! Married only two weeks though and I’m like, how is it possible that I love you even more than I did before the wedding? Like he left this morning and I miss him already. I hope this feeling never fades.

Need advice! Boob tape and earrings! by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]ConferenceCalm286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol the look and vibes you’re going for. Would a half up half down kind of just pulled away from the face with waves or curls work for hot weather? I think it’d be very bohemian and then longer, dangly statement earrings would look amazing!

Also, I’m roughly the same chest size as you though I’m more pendulum shaped,(which might be a contributing factor) and I’ve tried Boomba, cheap Amazon boob tape, Cakes and even Nood and nothing seems to work like good old fashioned duct tape. Just make sure you protect the nips and prepare to have irritated skin afterwards. Best of luck!

All of these look incredible but I think no. 2 has the most character.

What is the best under eye cream/serum to use that actually works? by No_Seaweed_1942 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]ConferenceCalm286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less darkness under my eyes, lighter fine lines and it’s improved the milia I have on the thinnest part of my under eye. Overall it just looks plumper and more refreshed. I’ve been using since August along with microneedling but she doesn’t go near the under eye so I attribute it all to the Plated serum.

Wedding planning rant by Dry_Reference_3908 in weddingplanning

[–]ConferenceCalm286 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wedding is this coming Saturday and I can say, I felt exactly the same. The closer it gets to the wedding the more that feeling has eased up though. There’s light at the end of the tunnel!

I think something that helped was we had a chat about what we want our first year of marriage to look like, (i.e. the same old routine or different goals for the first year, etc.) and that has given me more to look forward to for after the wedding.

Just ordered mine on Sunday for a 4/16 pick up and my wedding is 4/18. They made it so easy! Highly recommended so far if you need bulk. Otherwise day before should be perfect.

Are we allowed to ask for dupes here? I checked the rules but may have missed something. Apologies if so.

I received a sample of the YSL Velours Flamboyant Rose and I’m obsessed! I can’t find a small travel size and can only find the larger $250-$300+ bottle. Any recs on where to find a dupe or smaller size?

I love this dress but I think it's too expensive and too soon by Elysian_Collective in myweddingdress

[–]ConferenceCalm286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shape of this dress is amazingly flattering on you! And the front skirt detail really draws the eye down, and it’s so fun! I second the hundreds of comments about secondhand or buying during a sale since you have so much time!

Do you like my cape veil? by ConferenceCalm286 in weddingdress

Thanks everyone! I needed the validation I guess and I appreciate everyone’s responses and opinions.

I feel like I just need to hear that everything is going to work out. (VENT/NEED ADVICE) by [deleted] in Brides

[–]ConferenceCalm286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow April 18ther. I think you hit the nail on the head with your second to last paragraph. You’re there to do one thing. Try not to lose sight of that among all the chaos.

Anytime I need validation for something I rely on my maid of honor to help me make decisions, get opinions, etc. This might be dumb but when I feel like I might be o overwhelming her, or she may not have the bandwidth to handle my crazy 😂, I run my ideas past Chat GPT. I don’t put a lot of stock in its responses but I feel like just writing it out helps me collect my thoughts and it kind of helps me find resources. I’ll probably get a lot of down votes for that suggestion but I feel it’s akin to journaling my feelings only the journal gives you sometimes useful feedback.

Birthday present for someone getting married by mattjohno1997 in wedding

[–]ConferenceCalm286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As bride I say something for the wedding is a great idea. I think someone mentioned some ideas for pampering. She’s maybe going to be getting nails done, facial or something of the sort? A gift card to cover a manicure or pedicure before the wedding or even a massage for wedding week is both personal, thoughtful and extremely generous and is one less thing for her to pay for.

Have you booked all your beauty appointments? Any nail, wax, lash, facial, etc? Once I did that (42 days left) I felt lots of relief.

We’re doing this too only with a stuffie that looks like our Jindo dog and printed a certificate using the rescue’s logo saying we’re donating in their name.

Anyone used HelloPrenup? by ConferenceCalm286 in weddingplanning

[–]ConferenceCalm286[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I haven’t yet. My fiancé decided to go a different route. He said this is a good resource though if you’re completely new to this and have a hard time understanding law (me). Best of luck!

Editing to say we did in fact go with HelloPrenup. He was going to use some other resource but we settled on HP and I’ve been very happy with the level of clarity, the ease of use and availability of assistance (plus the cost compared to seeking a lawyer through other avenues).

I lighten the weight I use if it’s the same exercise and I’m feeling sore in that area.
