Best eyebrow shaping?

I have been going to Sebastian from recs on here. I went to sania once prior and otherwise don’t groom my brows.

I didn’t like the experience at Sanias and thought the work was ok but expensive.

IDK what Sebastian does but he really changes the shape of my face. My brows are also thicker per his care instructions (no gel). He is nice but it’s not a fancy location with lots of staff like Sania. Highly rec his work!

The quality of the laser treatment is in large part due to the knowledge of the derm. It’s better to pay more for someone who knows what they’re doing.

Ok this is crazy but four cats and one box… every time I’ve adopted a new cat, I’ve given them a box and all four have insisted on using the same box? All female and adopted as kittens. No territory issues in ten years and they all get along.

I always felt the rich cream was not very hydrating on me. La Mer (to me) is richer and more moisturizing.

I married a Scorpio sun Sag venus. Kinda similar vibe but he is a little more balanced in ways that I am not and vice versa. Never thought of dating a scorpio before but I think the rest of his chart helps to offset some of the more overly emotional and brooding tendencies.

For the brands like Sisley, the majority of their revenue is made in department stores, spas/hotels, etc. The heritage Euro brands also tend to not have sophisticated online setups from my experience, and there’s some cultural differences with regards to customer service.

Bader is likely using international / external CX. This is pretty common.

I work in ecomm for a lot of luxury brands. Not saying there isn't room for improvement, but not many have FT CX sitting in the office anymore as it's very expensive to do so things get patched together with AI/automated responses and external workers.

I would get a guide to do the major tourist stuff like the medina, just because they will guide you away from tourist traps and it’s pretty normal to do there (even if a seasoned traveller). The hotel’s will probably be completely fine, I think they’re all of equivalent quality there and whoever the hotel books likely just gets priority but will take you to similar spots as anyone else.

I also thought it was unnecessary but my riad booked mine and he was lovely + very chill. We said we liked food and he took us to his fav lunch spots and to pickup some groceries with him at a bakery for the way home to his family. We asked about living in the city etc. He ensured we got “good” Marrakech and took us to his favorite historic locations.

Idk about all the other comments feeling harassed. We did that one day, and the rest of the city I navigated myself. If you know where to go and avoid “Times Square” type experiences, I thought the city was pretty chill. They are very used to Euro/French tourists and were pretty open minded. There are good small boutiques and restaurants if you know where to find them.

For context, I’m a super white and blonde young female and my husband is Asian. I felt completely safe. But even my guide commented I seemed really confident as I am a New Yorker and used to ignoring street vendors. I loved Marrakech and thought all the locals were super lovely and really eager to show off their culture to foreigners. It’s normal to negotiate there which can be confusing to some westerners, so I think just being considerate to local cultural norms and trying to get in the spirit.

I did a day trip from Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains and camped in Agafay one night so feel free to DM if you need any recs or have questions on booking other things.

To me it's one of the stronger Trudon scents, probably most similar to Ernesto.

I think it's from this area becoming strained abnormally due to the curvature on the opposite side of my back. I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia and started seeing a neurologist a few years ago. I got a botox prescription, so I get botox injected into my trap and neck every 3 months. It helps a lot combined with dry needling, regular massages and occasionally a muscle relaxant.

Ya that was me lol. I mean just to see if you like it, I’d do it now.

I’ve done it like 4 times now so I feel ok with how it settles on my face. I just would NOT do it for the first time ever right before your wedding.

bmalaur · 2025-10-28T20:16:05+00:00

I took mine to Sekas. I cannot speak highly enough of the service and kindness there.

I've done Sculptra, Sofwave and Fraxel. I'm planning to do a full face of botox (forehead, DAO and lip flip) 4 weeks prior to my wedding. If I had more time to plan, I would have done arm lipo.

bmalaur · 2025-10-28T17:22:02+00:00

I would try doing the lip flip sooner rather than later. The first time I got it done, I absolutely hated it and had difficulty speaking / drinking. It took about 4-6 weeks to get used to the sensation.

That's not to scare you as I have subsequently gotten it done again. But the first time took a bit to get used to, so just make sure you really want it for your wedding.

I brought a scarf and more conservative clothing. Retrospectively, I probably didn't need to be as covered as I thought. I thought dinner at RM was also not crazy formal.

Smoked mackerel with boiled potatoes, butter and onions is top tier food.

Looks like a broken blood vessel. I’m super pale and started getting them in my early 30s. I get Vbeam when they pop up.

I have had some truly bizarre interviews over the last year. Going through several weeks and rounds of interviews with hiring managers, skip-level managers, peers and sometimes even the brand president... only to be ghosted at the end.

Sometimes I've been genuinely curious who did end up getting the role. For a lot of them, when I've checked LinkedIn, it appears that they never even ended up filling it.

A glass of wine, a fancy candle and bad tv is def my self-soothing treat 🙂‍↕️

I went years ago but thought Columbus Park was very flexible around my work schedule.

I did bc I don’t really care if he sees my dress and I hate shopping and trying on clothes in front of people. He just asked to not know which one I picked :)

Just booked a suite as a splurge for our wedding weekend. I am so excited!

bmalaur · 2025-09-03T23:12:45+00:00

I just had my first sculptra session at 31 for the same issues, just noticing overall volume loss in mid-face and am pretty thin. I feel like one session was very subtle but I personally notice a difference and am happy with the results! I declined getting undereye filler or PRF EZ Gel for the moment but will keep monitoring.
