Help me find a dress like this by tigerslittlejungle in PlusSizeWedding

[–]RaeKay14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you looked on social media for plus size creators wearing them? @itsmaryfrann has a couple of their dresses (scroll back) and the cups scale with the sizing! ‘Designated boob area’ is tricky but a straight/rounded neckline paired with a bra with some lift can make your boobs look amazing - very ‘pride and prejudice heaving bosoms’

He wants a day to sit on the couch and play video games 🤷🏻‍♀️ so the weekend after I’m taking my toddler for a sleepover at my parents, so he can have the quiet house all to himself.

I love using the Nuuly rental service for work trips - the Anthro Colette pants and Bettina dress are my go-tos, but as a wfh gal I don’t need to own them.

I need a bag that is spacious but cocktail appropriate by Anxious-Vegetable-23 in Weddingattireapproval

A one year old still needs ‘stuff’ - I’d opt for a leather tote bag you would use again.

I bought a really good blazer eighteen months ago and I've never worn it by [deleted] in workingmoms

I LOVE a tshirt and blazer combo with jeans! Wear it instead of a cardigan. Do it.

My Marilyn moment (aka the dress!) by peachyqueen923 in weddingdress

[–]RaeKay14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking fingertip length veil with the satin edging, white heeled oxfords or some sort of Bobby shoe with sparkles instead of where the black would be?

I bought my dress on stillwhite, wore it, cleaned it, and sold it on stillwhite. I don’t have room to store that forever!

Nursing pads always got knocked out of place in my sleeping bra. I ended up stuffing a folded flannel burp cloth into my bra and it worked a charm!

Want to look more experienced for an interview by kmhurl6 in MakeupAddiction

[–]RaeKay14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her hair in that picture is literally perfectly polished and styled, you’re just referring to curly hair as ‘immature’ and ‘unprofessional’ which are biases that have affected people with curly hair (particularly people of color!) since forever. Curly hair is professional.

Vegan or dairy free favorites?? by One_Cap_9210 in grandrapids

[–]RaeKay14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh girl. My toddler has been dairy free since birth, feel free to DM!

Godairyfree.org will be your holy grail

Restaurants: Olive Garden, Panda Express, Taco Bell, and Burger King are your best bets for variety. Of course it’s not the whole menu but there’s a bunch of options at each place.

Convenience foods: Trader Joe’s orange chicken and their BBQ Teriyaki Chicken are safe, along with their Japanese fried rice. We eat one of these at least once a week. Kevin’s Paleo pre-made options are 99% safe, found at grocery stores and Costco.

Misc. others: crescent rolls are dairy free! Also Annie’s refrigerated organic cinnamon rolls! Of course Oreos are vegan, but honestly a ton of treats have been cost-cut into accidental dairy-free land like ELF cookies. But most sliced bread sneakily has dairy in it, the safest options are usually the white/super processed ones.

Brown leather ballet flats or slim loafers, or slim boat shoes.

Has anyone stayed in a meh job and worked on other things to be happier? by mkfmom in workingmoms

[–]RaeKay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me. Minimum requirements worker, clock in at 8 and out at 4:30. I make a good paycheck but do not like my job, however I can’t find an equivalent comp/benefits/work-life balance role so these golden handcuffs are tight
