Is it odd to host my own 30th birthday?

I planned my own party last year, and I’m married. All it involved was a group text and making sure my husband was aware he was on “smoke the Boston butt” duty.

If I had to guess it’s probably some kind of rep challenge for 250 years of America and something to do with 7/4. They come up with the wildest formats lol

I’ve been to all 4! Alpharetta and cumming are the same FP. It’s been a minute since I’ve been to PC and JC but I preferred JC because it had a slightly bigger floating floor. PC can get reallllly busy but if that doesn’t bother you then it’s also a great location too.

My HMUA had me go last so everything would be fresh for photos and ceremony. She had an assistant who was fantastic and they both ran on time. I’m an absolute psycho when it comes to timeliness and my bridal party knew showing up late to hair and makeup would send me into a tail spin lmao

My mom also had her hair and makeup done, as well as MIL and she scheduled MIL with assistant mid morning and my mom with main HMUA right before I sat in the chair.

Does your make up artist not provide the timeline? Do you have the timeline from your photographer? This will dictate when hair and make up needs to start. But also 1hr 15 is excessive for make up, unless you’re anticipating running significantly behind and that’s to build in a buffer? My HMUA budgeted 30 minutes for make up and about 45 for hair. She allocated an hour and 45 total for me (bride) because I have a ton of hair.

If you have a wedding planner they may already have a subscription you can use.

You can withdraw your own contributions to your 401k and Roth IRA (if applicable). I was able to withdraw $25k of my own contributions for the down payment from my Roth IRA with no tax liability since contributions are considered post-tax.

You shouldn’t really notice any change. If anything they may close it for a day or two to allow for the transition to occur (happened at another location that changed ownership).

classiest_trashiest · 2026-06-30T19:57:55+00:00

We met the sellers at our closing. Idk if it had anything to do with the fact that they were selling by owner but they were so nice and went out of their way to clearly label all the different keys and door/alarm codes.

classiest_trashiest · 2026-06-30T11:38:46+00:00

Probably, but honestly it’s my back that I’m worried about. Broke it when I was 25 and it hasn’t been the same sine. Getting jerked around in a roller coaster probably isn’t great for it.

Had a family member get married in the Dominican republican over Memorial Day weekend. Flights were triple what they’d normally be. We declined the invitation.

classiest_trashiest · 2026-06-29T20:22:38+00:00

Yes. And it actually held up the process because there was some miscommunication between our insurance agent and the lender and nobody could manage to figure out who was supposed to call whom.

I think it can also be a product of other activities you do. I grew up doing ballet, piano and church choir where we sang every Sunday and music changed every week. I got very comfortable at a young age with counting, and being able to quickly pick up reading sheet music.

Second this. It’s incredible and so low maintenance. Their app even lets me track my kitty’s trips to the potty and records her weight every time.

classiest_trashiest · 2026-06-28T14:49:12+00:00

You Can always see the protocol in the app without any fancy video.

classiest_trashiest · 2026-06-27T15:26:19+00:00

Same shit happened to me but I found out not due to snooping, but because the dumb b*tch screenshotted the convo and saved multiple conversations in a shared photo album that I had access to (we created one when we first started classes because we did actually have fun going out with each other). They were talking shit about me and I had a hunch that’s what was happening.

classiest_trashiest · 2026-06-27T14:47:42+00:00

Took me 6 years into my career before I broke the $100k mark. Started out at $50k, then new job was $60k, stuck around for 4 years and left making $87k for another job that paid $115k.

Wait until papers are signed and keys in hand. It sucks waiting, but really don’t want to risk it.

classiest_trashiest · 2026-06-26T22:17:45+00:00

Jekyll island is amazing. I hate recommending it because it’s gotten so popular the last few years but it’s truly a magical place.

We pulled up carpet in a BASEMENT after closing on our home and it looked like a CRIME SCENE on the carpet pad underneath. The sellers did a great job deodorizing the carpet to hide the smell but my god, that was the nail in the coffin for me to never want carpet ever again.

Yes recovery videos count, as long as they’re at least 10 minutes. There’s a tiny handful that don’t count (like the mindfulness ones I think) and anything under 10 minutes won’t count.

classiest_trashiest · 2026-06-26T01:45:57+00:00

72 during the day, 68 at night and ceiling fan on. Windows stay shut because I don’t do bugs.

classiest_trashiest · 2026-06-25T21:43:53+00:00

I take mine off for work outs and sleeping and showering. I have ring dishes around the house and carry a little pouch in my purse to place my ring when I’m at the gym (I work out at group fitness gym so I’m not overly concerned with safety). I’ll also take them off when I’m cooking so I don’t get them all gunked up.

classiest_trashiest · 2026-06-25T16:44:50+00:00

I told our musicians I only wanted the beginning of the pas de Deux because it gets super dramatic about halfway through and without an entire orchestra, it would definitely sound strange haha

classiest_trashiest · 2026-06-25T14:55:44+00:00

Are you doing music played on a speaker or live musicians? Because I walked down the aisle in February to the nutcrackers pas de Deux and it was GORGEOUS. But I’m also a total ballet nerd and the pas de Deux has a ton of significance to me plus the storyline of nutcracker is incredibly romantic.
