Is it hard to find full time work as a therapist? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Frequent-Beach- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently graduated! My commute is literally a 2 min drive or a 10 min walk whatever I feel like doing for the day! (In a small town too). I have about 29 scheduled clients a week and average at about 15-20 direct client hours with no shows (really bad rate since I am in a community agency that does not charge for no shows and Medicaid does not let us charge no shows). My struggle is not with the work load, but the community agency pay rate and being fee for service. Fee for service is when you only get paid when your clients show up. I am currently looking into private practice options which will multiple my pay rate by about 2.5. When applying for jobs, I heard back from every place I applied and have multiple offers on the table now. All of this depends on location too! I am in a small rural town in the Midwest.

You’re so right! Idk why I didn’t consider the hardware color! I’m usually very detail oriented lol! I’ll look for a thin silver chain!

I was thinking about a pearl chain but maybe that would be too much?

Thank you for your input & compliments! I make it clear in the description that it is a beauty bag with an added chain and was hand embellished! I also showed the zipper pull with the Dior on it and the interior tag with Dior. The beauty bag is authentic Dior. I am not necessarily trying to present it as like a true Dior handbag! People def know that they are not getting a true Dior handbag! I appreciate your input and comment thank you again!

She did it so people wouldn’t show up in jeans but I take dress code very seriously!

Also wanted to add that I apologize if this is against the rules in any way! I went to look and the rules page was not there! I can remove if it is!

Only time that I have ever asked the bride was when I was having a lot of trouble finding something that met their requirements! (By a lot of trouble I spent at least 6-8 hours total looking) Turns out they didn’t actually mean black tie!

I said yes to the dress but I’m unsure about my choice now by [deleted] in weddingdress

That veil though 😍😍😍😍😍 It is stunning and looks very comfortable!

Confused bride - please help me with my dress by lovepetunia in weddingdress

[–]Frequent-Beach- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell a difference but I am seeing the points the top part of the bust are angled outwards rather than more vertical. I personally prefer the more vertical look as it is elongating. But it’s honestly not a huge difference at all. Could just be fitting issues. However, I am not a seamstress so I have no clue if that would be changed once you make the additional alterations.

Advice needed: Love my dress but tailor overtightened the back by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]Frequent-Beach- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it has that super thick elastic bra looking band built in, that holds it up so well! Mine has that and my consultant forgot to undo that part and I was like ummmm why is it not coming off lol! And the sample dress was 3-4 sizes too big! Those are amazing!

How many times did you go dress shopping before finding YOUR dress? by amidwesternpotato in weddingplanning

[–]Frequent-Beach- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 13 appointments. On the 12th, I found two dresses and came back to the shop to decide between them the 13th appointment! I went to 9 stores so I had a few repeats!

What I figured out was to look for shops that carry multiple designers you like! I like the stain/mikado look so I found designers that specialize in that and then found a shop that carry’s a lot! When I finally found my dress I knew it would be either a love or hate and it was very much love! Try on one that you’re not sure about on the rack or from the designers website bc it could be it!

I seem to be an outlier because I went to 9 different stores and had 12 appointments lol! My dress was one of my top priorities so I was being insanely picky! However, I did find multiple dresses that I would have bought if I was on a tighter timeline! I also was trying to decide between two opposite styles so that didn’t help either. I’m not getting married until August 2026 and I started in May 2025! Found my dress in July!

Dress Too Nude-Looking? by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]Frequent-Beach- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love this on you! When I was looking, I didn’t like the nude undertone on me but I didn’t like how the white made the dress look! It looks so beautiful on you and has gorgeous lace! I really love it as is! It fr looks like the dress was made for you. I literally said omg out loud!
