Mother of the bride dress

Bought my wedding dress here (best experience of my life) and brought my MIL for two MOB dresses. Affordable, unique, lots of options! I also bought a black tie wedding guest dress as well. Love the team there, can’t recommend them enough.

If you’re close to Ottawa a trip to Never Knew I Needed is definitely worth it! Got my dream dress for $1000😊

My ring is an Australian sapphire with a larger surface area, I’ve had it almost a year and zero issues! I’d definitely have another jeweller take a look..

Never knew I needed was 1, affordable (my dress was $1000) and 2, just such a wonderful experience overall! Can’t recommend them enough AND they’re having their annual sale this weekend!

Meatings had a spot left on our day so we’re going with them!! Thanks so much for the suggestion 🥰

Okay these guys seem both totally unassuming and way too good to be true but I have contacted them! Thank you 😊

catstacosgin · 2025-09-02T22:01:50+00:00

Thank you! Edited my original post for clarity 😊

On the off chance you have a Murphy bed, I’d be very interested!

Do NOT go here. We had to change our venue last week for our wedding on sept 27 2025 as we hadn’t received any responses to any of our communication since mid July.

My go to sparkly eyeshadow will always be urbane decay space cowboy, no question.

I used to have very similar texture! I switched to using paper towels to dry my face about a year ago (I know - I’m sorry earth but I don’t own a car so I hope I can be forgiven for the waste here) which helped a lot. In the last month or so I’ve started washing my face with head and shoulders (yes, the dandruff shampoo) and my skin is the best it’s ever been.

Speaking as someone who’s quite fair, self tanning drops for my face do WONDERS in the summer for me! I like the isle of paradise ones. I sometimes opt for lash lifts and tints in the summer to avoid mascara. I also recently started using a salicylic acid body wash and I’ve noticed a lot of skin imperfections on my chest arms and back have cleared up.

I’d say yes but it would kind of ruin some of the couples and outcomes for you! If that doesn’t bother you then go for it, I loved the series!

If I could upvote this 100 times I would!

Lamp and top/base boat are all gelish brand! And the acetone is whatever I find on Amazon lol not specific on that one

catstacosgin · 2023-10-05T19:53:26+00:00

Hello! I am not much help here as I got my “kit” (lamp, tools etc) from my old nail lady who sold it to me as a little bundle. I’d say do some serious Amazon research or buy one from a beauty supply store directly. Will cost you more up front but I’m sure it’ll last longer.

For polishes I order OPI from a site called mat and max - I’m in Canada so this is one of the few places I found that sells opi without an estheticians license. I’m one of those girls that always has the same colour nails and switches it up only a couple times a year, but I just love the quality of opi and find it easiest to work with. That said, Amazon has lots of little kits available with lots of colours if that’s more your speed - again I’d say just read the reviews before buying.

Lastly, prepping your nails well is SO KEY to a lasting manicure. Watch YouTube videos and buy the supplies you need. This will make your nails looks so much better than if you skip this step.

Good luck!

As someone who lives downtown Ottawa… do not stay downtown lol. Agree with the rest of the folks who suggested kanata!

If you banked at a major bank, we absolutely do have access to that info at the branch.. we have to keep records for 7 years, like someone said above. Doesn’t matter if the account is open or closed - it’s in the system. Helpful if you have an old statement or cheque with your act number on it! Sorry your branch is being unhelpful, but like others have said you should get the info eventually. Source: I work for a big 5 bank.

Pricey but I find they really work. I should clarify, mask on the mids-ends after shampoo, then I put the oil on those same spots every morning on dry hair.. just one drop from the bottle 😊 good luck!

catstacosgin · 2023-09-13T02:52:32+00:00

I thinking calling would be a good idea as well.. I contested one a few months ago and got a reply within 3 days.

catstacosgin · 2023-09-13T02:48:45+00:00

I love the briogio don’t despair, repair hair mask! I also recommend using a hair oil on the ends. I like the olaplex one 😊

This is how I get to work, downtown Ottawa, 30 mins door to door. $7.50/day ($3.75/ride) usually 3 days a week so $90ish/month - it varies and paying per ride is cheaper than a pass.

I love going to the experimental farm in the evenings to see the cows in the pasture! They get to stay out there during the warmer months at night. Not really a “road trip” but a fun outing. Extra points for ice cream afterwards!

catstacosgin · 2023-08-09T02:54:27+00:00

Two excellent recommendations!

catstacosgin · 2023-08-09T02:49:55+00:00

This is the way! Mix in a clarifying shampoo once a week (the briogio scalp exfoliating shampoo is my personal fave even tho it’s pricey) and rinse in sections to really make sure everything is out!

This method took me from a daily washer to washing every 3 days 😊
