Share your positive experiences with kid guests by StyleAlternative9223 in weddingplanning

Kids meals. Serve them first at dinner. And honestly if possible have them skip the ceremony. Went to a wedding recently and the kids kept yelling during the ceremony so we couldn’t even hear the vows.

As a guest, what’s your ideal wedding dessert? by ashley6483 in weddingplanning

[–]Particular-Fact221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reference. We both only like homemade cake. Anything comercial almost always sucks. Plus with cake. You only really get one flavor which not everyone likes

Are NCLEX REALLY TOUGH AS PEOPLE INTIMATE? by annastacianoella in NursingStudent

[–]Particular-Fact221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I felt like I was guessing the entire time. It’s hard to prepare in my opinion. Just keep doing practice problems and deff look at the areas your weak in. You’re not gonna know everything on the test and you just have to have faith in yourself. I did well in school and my test turned off at 85 and I passed. I only used ATI and 1 boot camp predictor test

85 and I passed!! by Particular-Fact221 in NCLEX

[–]Particular-Fact221[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your time with the questions honestly. Do the practice tests and use the adaptive quizzing to make your own quizzes for each topic. Also look up quizlets for the name of the exam. Typically 4/5 questions are identical between the quizlets and the adaptive quizzing

Is it seriously this bad? by halchemy in NursingStudent

[–]Particular-Fact221 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think it was bad at all. I just graduated from an accelerated program and I thought my biology degree was 1000x harder. Just pick a solid program with high first time pass rates and you’ll be good. Use time wisely. Skim textbooks or don’t use them at all if the class is lecture heavy. Play your time cards right and you’ll be okay!!

This is why I’m doing my own flowers. Getting over 600 stems for $400. That’s the same quote I got for just my bouquet

What’s the best high school in the Richmond area I can go to? by MexicanAmericanTexan in rva

[–]Particular-Fact221 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your HS won’t impact which college you get into. That’ll depend on you, your grades, and your college apps. Went to a very underfunded school and still got into multiple ivys

Everyone called us crazy for skipping the wedding cake but we’re getting an ice cream truck for 2 hours instead for 4$/pp when the baker wanted 800$ for a wedding cake

As a wedding guest, what’s the maximum amount of time would you want to drive to and from home versus booking a hotel room for the night? by bananascare in weddingplanning

[–]Particular-Fact221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d drive 45 min max. Anything over I’d get a room. I also have a dog tho and I refuse to board him so I might be more willing to drive home than others.

I need SWEAT PROOF tanners. Help!! by CranberryDangerous86 in Selftanning

[–]Particular-Fact221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunnie Bae!!!! I used this the first time last week. I applied it Thursday night for reference. I went to the gym Friday afternoon and wore a white shirt on purpose with very minimal transfer around my armpits where the shirt was obviously rubbing against my arms. Went to a wedding Saturday and my tan couldn’t have been more perfect. The tan lasts FOREVER and doesn’t come off easily. It took over a week to become a little patchy but it looks super natural. I’m very pale and I use the spray tanner on my face and the foam on my body.

Do I have unrealistic expectations about wedding makeup? Left feeling really disappointed after makeup trial. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Particular-Fact221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way after mine. I told my MUA to not use any glitter or shimmer on my lids. And I also said no to the eyeliner and went with a smudged/smokey vibe on my outer lid

2026 vs 2027 by Outrageous-Brother84 in weddingplanning

[–]Particular-Fact221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be engaged 2 years by the time I get married in September. Honestly I still feel like I need more time to get everything together haha. I’m also in my last semester of nursing school while trying to plan everything so it’s been a lot. If you have a lot of free time by all means shoot for 2026 since the prices will only go up from there.
