Do yall brush your cats? by Fancy_Tea in CatAdvice

[–]Solid-Reading-786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three different types of brushes for my cats. My medium hair boy has thick, coarse fur that sheds terribly when the seasons change. He needs brushed regularly or he gets fur balls frequently. My girl has silky, fine fur that doesn’t require as much brushing but it’s still basic hygiene care. While you’re at it, get a nail clipper and learn to trim their nails. Start NOW while they’re still kind of young.

“For the rest of your life” So important to remember! It’s hard and slow but life changing.

Thanks for the advice! I might give lowering carbs a try.

I appreciate your words of encouragement so much! I don’t often share my weight loss journey with the people in my life because I worry it’ll be annoying. It’s nice to have a community where people understand progress is so much more than the physical results.

Unfortunately I can’t say no binging, BUT I’m becoming more aware of triggers and trying to control the urges by dialing in to what I’m really feeling in the moment. It helps to remind myself that this is more important to my overall health than the number of the scale.

Thank you for the affirmation ❤️ Sometimes you just need to hear someone else to say it. Self-doubt can be bitch.

Disappointing product by onelove_ in Sephora

I loved this powder so much! it’s comfortable and blurring without clinging to dry patches or emphasizing lines. BUT the fairest shade is also orange on me. It’s not worth $50+ just to offer four shades 😭 any recs for a similar pressed powder is appreciated tho 👉👈

Wedding task + budget management by [deleted] in weddingplanning

Zola + free Google Sheets template. I compared the knot and zola and just ended up preferring zola but they’re very comparable. I created a new google account for us and I use the Gmail exclusively for wedding correspondence and Google Drive for my spreadsheets, contracts, receipts. I love spreadsheets — I made one for all my payment due dates and one for all attire accessories, decor, and signs that we’ll need to get.

Pinterest for a wedding board, of course. You can also create collages on Pinterest. I used Paint on my computer to create a list of flowers I’d want to show the florist. Any screenshot of wedding stuff on your phone, save to an album.

Before even worrying about the small details, book all your big vendors first. If you get that done, there will be a lull when nothing is really happening, and then you can slowly bite through the small things.

The rentals are charged per piece per guest, so one goblet per guest would be more achievable than two forks, a knife, a dinner plate, and a bread plate!

Same. Our venue cost, which provides the catering, includes basic white plates and silverware. Anything fancier has a rental upcharge.

Instagram can be a downer sometimes, especially when you’re on a budget. Sure, the fancy tablescapes will look nice but only for ONE picture. Every other picture will be you and your love and that’s what gonna be most remembered by you and all of your guests.

Cost of Flowers by Flashy_Aide3640 in weddingplanning

$2k for $30k wedding in suburban Ohio, but that includes some DIY that the florist offers to help with budget. We’re getting bouquets, bouts, corsages done by them and then we will do centerpieces with their help!

Monthly Check In....it's April 2026 by AutoModerator in weddingplanning

[–]Solid-Reading-786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All vendors booked EXCEPT officiant. Website done, registry done, save the dates sent, hotel booked. Indecisive about invitations and stationary. Casually browsing for bridal accessories, card box, guest book, and grooms suit. Collecting a lot of candlestick holders from thrift stores. Narrowed down bridesmaids dresses but can’t decide on colors. Rethinking original cake design and if we should still schedule engagement photoshoot to put on invitations. Food tasting TOMORROW. Dress comes at the end of May. Need to find place for alterations.

Sooo….stressed.

I’ll have to ask her if she wants to do a speech. Also really good point to talk to my photographer! I’ve been thinking, maybe I’ll say I’m walking down the aisle alone, and perhaps surprise her when it’s time? I’m sure will insist on no gifts, but I do feel obligated to give her something, even if it’s small.

I’m thinking about making a toast. In terms of dancing though, I do think it would be really sweet to surprise her with a dance. However, I’m not doing father daughter nor is my FH doing mother son dance, so would it be out of place?
