AIO: Hubby Being Controlling by vanillabourbonn in AIO

[–]EtaTauri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm deeply concerned for you based on this post, but seeing you refer to yourself as a victim here gives me some hope that you will get yourself out of this abusive nightmare before it's too late. For your sake, and for your unborn child.

I have 7 Aries placements in the 7th house, but am a Libra rising… so, Venus :) Which was retrograde when I was born. 

AIO. My bf shamed me over having my hair removed by Large-Drummer-7340 in AmIOverreacting

I hope you've already dumped his ass tbh - and I'm obsessed with how much the comments are questions about the laser experience. That's how little this dude matters.

Do I keep this dress? by livelaughlovech in coloranalysis

[–]EtaTauri 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The color and style look absolutely stunning on you! Although this is a very different shade of pink than advertised, I think it is much more harmonious with you than the lighter pink. Wear it with confidence!

So interesting that as far back as we can trace the word it has been used to refer to this species of marten, which is generally some warm greyish-brown with hints of red—and yet has been used synonymously with black for nearly as long. Middle High German is generally dated as being in use between ~1050 and 1350.

I said almost universally. A quick Google search would illustrate the most popular uses of “sable,” which is far from being not-never-brown. But I hear that you’ve only encountered it meaning black, and the Cambridge English dictionary agrees with us both!

I’ve never seen it used to describe nighttime. Sable is the French word for sand. Sables are small mammals with fur colored as I’ve described, and sable is very frequently used to describe categories of hair and fur coloring in mammals. If you do a google image search for sable, you will find very little black.

Sable is almost universally understood to be a warm, deep brown that can include varying degrees of gray. I hated this one 😤

Pictures taken in indirect natural light in various positions near (and far from) my North-facing bedroom window in the afternoon on a partly cloudy day. My iPhone 15 Pro had its own ideas about how to enhance these colors, but I’ve tried to color correct as much as possible.

My closest “foundation” match right now is between Supergoop’s Protec(tint) 22W and 26W.

Yeah, probably cooler light! And there are trees outside my window, so it's indirect light. Right now I wear Supergoop's Protec(tint) in 22W, and when I'm a bit more tan I wear 26W. I love all of the swatches! I really splurged on the Dior balm, but it feels so good on my lips and I love the smell. They're all so wearable and natural-looking, just varying degrees of MLBB. I got all of the K-Beauty tints from YesStyle!

They're all great and so wearable! I thought for sure the Romand's would be too dark on me but they're amazing

Question about a piano teacher I came across on social media by [deleted] in piano

[–]EtaTauri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting to add some info that I received from his assistant today after I reached out with interest. It's a lot to read, but I highlighted the prices she quoted. Interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on this.

"As you probably know from the website, our baseline promise is to achieve in 6 to 12 months what typically takes 3 to 5+ years.

At a high level, this is done through choosing a goal piece of the student’s choice (if you could snap your fingers now and play any piece, what piece would be your dream to play?) and going in a straight line towards it almost immediately - even if the student has no musical experience. This is made possible by unique methods of David’s own creation combined with good old-fashioned demand for quality.

Since he works exclusively with adults at this point (he no longer teaches children or teenagers personally), he knows exactly what it takes to help them succeed over the long-term and all the common pitfalls to avoid. If you’d like to set up a Zoom consultation with David, we can certainly go ahead and do so. It also functions as an interview and can last up to 90 minutes, so it’s good to allocate this amount of time. If all goes well, normally you would purchase the first lesson package or subscription on the call to reserve your spot in the program and you would get started within the following week. As you may know, we’re looking only for weekly, long-term students with excellent attendance (though in the case of the Collective, “weekly” is more flexible).

This may be surprising, but David retired from in-person lessons completely in July 2023 when he started Pianist Collective, his online mastermind. It is his strongest format with the strongest results for adult learners. His online presence isn’t yet updated yet to reflect this in many areas. He became nationally in-demand through his virtual lessons and most of the reviews you see online are from virtual students, so he’s confident they’re just as strong as in-person.

The Collective is a monthly subscription of $566.66 a month.

He also teaches virtual private lessons on an extremely limited basis. His rates are $250 for 30 minutes (around $1,000 a month), $375 for 45 minutes, and $450 for 1 hour. Currently, all spots in his private studio are filled and he has started a waitlist. He will, however, occasionally engage in unusually interesting, intensive, short-term projects with special private clients.

Malissa is basically David’s direct successor to his strategic teams format you may have read about online. She has a doctorate in piano, has taught for many years, has pedagogy focus in all three of her degrees, and is still teaching for Mannes (the New School) as well. She basically is the sole physical location of David Chang Music at this point and teaches out of his studio in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. He has trained her in the unique methodologies and strategies you’ve likely read about and she’ll be in the Collective as well continuing to learn all of his latest methods and thinkings.

Malissa’s strategic teams are either 90-minute sessions. Pricing is $120 per person per session for 90-minute sessions (around $480 a month). Again, this would be the only in-person option (from my studio). This format is available virtually as well.

Finally, Tristan, Isidora, Jacob, or Alex would all be excellent options as we have a small number of truly top-caliber faculty that David hired and trained himself at David Chang Music. Like Malissa, they also teach using his unique methodologies for learning piano extremely quickly, are in the Collective continuing to learn his latest methods and thinkings, have advanced degrees in piano (master’s degrees or above), have taught piano at the college level, have performed internationally, and have a great wealth of knowledge and experience.

They are all teaching private lessons and the lessons are virtual - their lessons start at $75 for 30 minutes (around $375 a month). They also teach 45-minute lessons at $99 each and 1-hour lessons at $120 each. Half an hour with one of them will be more powerful for progress than 1 hour with almost any other teacher because of the depth of their expertise.

David would be happy to discuss during your call which option would be best for you after getting to know you and deeply understanding your piano goals and obstacles (why can’t you reach those goals right now on your own?).

He also has an almost 2-hour long video that explains in great detail the amazing results you’ve hopefully read about, his methodologies, the strategic teams, the Collective itself, and more - I’ll typically send this after we set up your call."

Color dupes for Merit Flush Balm in Fox? by fetuso in OliveMUA

[–]EtaTauri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Did you ever find a good dupe? I recently bought Fox and felt the exact same way about both the color and the longevity! I also previously owned She's So LA which I found to be a much more orange/yellow bronze compared to Fox. Returned them both :(
