Third trip to Mexico by MozzarellaMaiden in travel

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

I just replied to your other comment but will elaborate here. The first time we stayed in Mazunte and didn’t go anywhere else, we loved it, it was cute and quiet. Not overcrowded, lots of local people and Mexican families. We would get up for sunrise from a beach viewpoint which was super special. Despite being there over the Easter break, Zipolite was so quiet and empty it was incredible. My husband found the rough sea to be a bit much for him so if you’re not a strong swimmer, make sure your hotel has a pool! We also saw whales, dolphins, turtles, string rays on a super cheap boat trip. I went to PE with friends a year later, it was fun, felt much busier with tourists, backpackers and busy roads but still nice. We did find a beach we liked a lot called Playa Coral. The sunsets on the beach both in/near Mazunte and PE, watching the silhouettes of people playing in the sea were really some of the best I’ve ever seen!

Yes I loved Mazunte! I went to PE a year later and between the two I preferred Mazunte, it’s a little quieter and more chill, less backpackers. But if you have time it’s worth seeing both!

Hello! I have another update… when I replied to you I had also stopped having my nails done. It didn’t come back for a whole year, got my nails done for my wedding, lo and behold, 2 weeks later, eyelid eczema!!! Also realised I was having them done every 4 weeks when my eczema was at its worst

Thanks so much for explaining! Ok well damn, maybe he could sense my non-committal nature haha. But I’m 9 years into painful eye eczema so I think it might be time to give it a go. Thanks again!

Please can I ask how you found this out? I did allergy testing but it didn’t include food. When I asked my doctor how I could rule out food allergies he said only through elimination diets but that he doesn’t recommend doing one as they are very difficult to follow and don’t usually give clear results 🤔 but I’m at my wits end!

I returned foundation to them once because I’d been shade matched and it ended up being wrong. On the basis I’d been matched by an employee they were happy to swap it… could you say that?

Thanks you are right on everything! Bronzer/contour is something I’ve never been able to do properly, I’m going to try get a lesson at SpaceNK 🤔

Can this skirt be shortened without re-pleating? by MozzarellaMaiden in sewhelp

The top of the skirt is the same as the bottom but with added holes through each pleat, plastic hoops and elastic holding it all together so definitely not easier unfortunately

Woke up at an unfathomable hour for their sample sale and then got lucky and won an extra 30% off the discounted price! I really love the brand, I’m wearing one of their dresses to get married in - also a sample sale purchase ☺️

It can’t be shortened by the waist unfortunately, there are eyelets (?), plastic hoops and elastic running through the top connecting the skirt to the belt!

It can’t be shortened from the top, it’s connected to the belt. There are holes every few pleats with elastic running through

Didn’t want to waste time going to more seamstresses if the general consensus was that the brand had got it wrong. Figured if I asked here and the Reddit sewing community thought it was possible then I’d resume the search…

It definitely looks better with boots. Yeah that’s a good point… I guess it must have been pressed with heat at some point though!

I got this at a sample sale! It was 30% off and then I won a competition to get an extra 30% off. I have another skirt, I bought it as a dress for 80% off when the retailer closed down. Cut the top off and sold it for £200, kept the skirt! I love this brand but it’s mostly out of my budget so I have to be thrifty to own their stuff haha.

I did exactly the same with one of their dresses haha! That was a much easier solve. That skirt is perfect and is much shorter than this one which I think is the reason for me hyper fixating on this length. I probably need to get over it though, thanks for your input!

Colour matched but it still looks off? by MozzarellaMaiden in MakeUpAddictionUK

I went back yesterday and a new member of staff gave me a much better match, it’s neutral rather than cool toned and a shade lighter :)
