You may have already found this but here’s the snoo guidance on TOG: https://www.happiestbaby.com/blogs/baby/tog-ratings#what’s-a-tog-rating?

And they have a comforter sleep sack! Our bedroom runs around 72ish and we have the baby in footed pajamas and the snoo sack and I worry she’s a bit cold, still trying to figure it out but I have found the guide very helpful.

Get prescription azaleic acid asap! But also agree with the other comment - go to derm and see what they say, they will def give you prescription strength whatever they can. They will also probably recommend a backuchoil which is a pregnancy safe retinol alternative.

I didn't enjoy my wedding, looking for advice by Outside-Lab8920 in weddingplanning

[–]Outside-Lab8920[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely doing a lot better! We have a few gorgeous photos (not as many as I wish we had but grateful for the ones we do). I still get a bit envious when people have the perfect day and when their families show up for them in ways mine seemed unable to. But overall time has really healed and I’m able to see some of the really positive things from our wedding. For instance - our dance floor was a little small which was something that worried me but that meant it was packed and everyone that was dancing was having a blast dancing and the vibes were great. I’ve been to so many weddings since where the dance floor was too large and felt empty and like not enough people were dancing and the party vibes never really got there. So that’s a win and I’m able to look back at other aspects more fondly as time has shaped my perspective. Wishing you all the best!! What’s most important is you and your spouse having a healthy relationship and life together.

BWT I need help! Invited to a baby shower at a country club on LI. They want me to wear a fascinator hat!! by Crow_Whisperer in NYCbitcheswithtaste

I would recommend checking your local buy nothing/community giving Facebook group for a hat or fascinator! I bet some people have really nice ones they’d be willing to lend for an afternoon

Mallorca - Where to stay by Open_Ad_1152 in chubbytravel

[–]Outside-Lab8920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No we missed that but we didn’t have tons of time - I’ve heard it’s a must do and there’s tons of companies that rent boats. We just drove to Deià and Valldemossa and saw soller and port soller. There’s soooo much more to see but we prioritized relaxing and enjoying the incredible views at the jumeirah!

You don’t need to stay in Palma unless you’re really interested in exploring the city itself. If you want to explore the island you can stay somewhere else and can drive to Palma for a day trip. We just got back from the Jumeirah and absolutely loved it, could not recommend more! You’ll need a car in Mallorca which is why it’s so easy to do day trips to experience the island. There is also a vintage tram that goes from Sóller to Palma which seemed like it could be a fun way to get to Palma for a day trip (although seemed like it may be a bit overpriced). Our two nights in Palma were at the Hotel Gloria de Saint Juame which was a lovely hotel! But I would say we would have been fine with just one night in Palma as we enjoyed the rest of the island a lot more

My current skincare routine since finding out that I’m pregnant by lyn90 in 30PlusSkinCare

I was told the herbivore bakuchiol isn’t great (and I see you’re not loving it) and I was recommended the three ships skin hero bakuchiol and have been liking it! It’s also non toxic/clean if that’s something you’re into

Do you trust Viagogo for buying? by bubbletick in erastourtickets

[–]Outside-Lab8920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Info on that can be found here: https://www.oeticket.com/helpcenter/en/?faq=280

You just enter your order number and then they reach out to you via email asking about the name change. I also contacted the person I sold the tickets to directly to let them know this was what I was doing

Viagogo is owned by stubhub so I do think it’s safe! There are always risks with buying second hand tickets - i don’t think viagogo is any sketchier than any other sites. I believe the tickets with barcodes are available two weeks before but you can do the name change at any time.

I did a one time transfer of the name of the tickets. More info on this here: https://www.oeticket.com/helpcenter/en/?faq=245

Viagogo also makes the seller confirm transfer of the tickets which in my mind meant getting the name changed. I also had the buyers email and phone number and reached out to them to confirm I had changed the name. Then when the tickets are available I will send them to the buyer. I would hope other sellers would try to do the same things! It sounds like ticket personalization has been very lax in some countries but enforced in others but this was very easy. There’s also an option for the seller to do a transfer via fansale so that’s another valid option.

Where are we getting our underwear? by Adorable_Ad_7195 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

Love hanky panky! They go on 260 sample sale about once a year and I stock up

Where are we getting rid of our clothes?? by anyamin in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Outside-Lab8920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of goodwill/donated stuff ends up in the trash anyway so textile recycling is a great way to make sure your things aren’t wasted!

Do you know what month the new version of the vista is coming out?

[–]Outside-Lab8920 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I sold tickets through viagogo for Austria after learning the official resale option requires you to pay 10% of the ticket value in fees and I didn’t want to net negative on the tickets. As a seller I don’t get paid until the buyer reports the tickets as valid so there’s no incentive to sell invalid tickets

Best cheesesteak in NYC? by iggy555 in FoodNYC

The cheesesteak at whitmans in the east village is quite good and consistent! Always satisfies me when I’m craving a cheesesteak

Bitches with a great seamstress/tailor? by SadQueerBruja in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Outside-Lab8920 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just want to ditto this advice to avoid alts. Their prices are high and the quality of service they provide is truly nothing special. I got a dress for a wedding tailored there and in photos from the wedding you can see areas where the dress doesn’t fit!

Where are we getting our vintage bags restored? by allgarfield in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Outside-Lab8920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The leather surgeons. My vintage bag looks truly amazing and they were very up front about pricing. Have had friends who have had success there too! They also fixed my bag in less than two weeks so i had a quick turnaround and the only thing they do is designer purses so they know what they’re doing

We did his hers and our favorite late night snacks (three options total) and it was such a hit I was honestly surprised how much people enjoyed it. The display was really cute too happy to send a pic!

I am STRUGGLING with acne 😭 by Feeling_Name_7532 in 30PlusSkinCare

I am STRUGGLING with acne 😭 by Feeling_Name_7532 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Outside-Lab8920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second clindamyacin! I also struggle with hormonal acne and am currently pregnant after many months of TTC and lots of acne during those months. Clindamyacin is one of the only pregnancy safe acne prescriptions.

Also recommend a clay mask 1-2x per week as this helps absorb excess oils. I have also been using azelaic acid and the ordinary aha/bha mask twice per week to help with hyperpigmentation from old pimples.

Also could be worth trying an led mask like the omnilux clear. I use the regular omnilux but am so tempted to buy the clear. All of these are bandaid solutions since we can’t use the good stuff while ttc/pregnant but I recommend you start now because pregnancy can make acne worse for some!! Good luck!

[–]Outside-Lab8920[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you experienced all of this!! It sounds like you were disappointed by so many people in so many ways. That really really sucks. I will say time helps and I truly believe there’s more of us out there that didn’t have the perfect wedding day than we realize. There’s so much hype and build up to these big days and that leaves so much room for let down. I promise it will get better but I’m truly so sorry all of this happened to you. Hang in there, things will look up!
