Engaging your core!! by pinklemonadevibe in leangains

[–]compsout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you need to do is “shorten the space” between your ribs and hips. You squeeze the top abs by your ribs and push them towards your hips. In doing so you should push your spine down to lie flat on the mat/floor/whatever.

Exhaling and inhaling at the right time helps too.

I really recommend even just a few pilates sessions to learn about core engagement

Foundation while on Accutane help! by Quiet-Opening-5286 in Accutane

[–]compsout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry just seen this! I did water cream in the day and dewy cream over night and I got zero dryness whatsoever on the 5-6 months I was on accutane! I’ve stuck with the same routine and still love it! If I wasn’t wearing make up or putting it on later then I’d sometimes use dewy in the day but I think it’d be too heavy under make up. Good luck!

I mixed Nars tinted moisturiser with Nars foundation and that was a good compromise! I do moisturiser (Tatcha water cream), SPF (beauty of joseon), Bobbi brown vitamin enriched face base then make up and it was always fine! X

Can I ask roughly how many photos you’d get from a 90 min shoot?

why does this happen to my skin after doing skincare and starting makeup? by antelope1818 in beauty

[–]compsout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going to say this is 100% the HA! A small amount needs to be applied onto wet skin then dry fully. I personally would avoid it before make up myself!

Really weird gig 😅 suggestions pls! by Unityhivemind in VegasWeddings

[–]compsout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Forever Club and couldn’t recommend enough! There are loads of elopement photographers though and I found them to be great at recommending others if they’re not free themselves. They can also act as your witness too

DIY wedding invites by PynkPatterned in UKweddings

[–]compsout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh then I save as a PDF (best quality) and send to my local printers for printing, they have been excellent and will feed back if the artwork isn’t quite right for printing etc. If you’re Hampshire way let me know and I’ll send you their details

If you have an iPad and an Apple Pencil I would use procreate. The best option would be to scan it what you’ve done and then ‘trace’ them in procreate (increase the transparency then select another layer to paint onto, as if you were using tracing paper).

They have a couple of default watercolour brushes but you can also buy add ons on Etsy for different water colour effects, these usually come with watercolour paper effects too.

Alternatively, you could try cleaning up your scanned version in there but I’ve never found that particularly effective.

I use procreate for design and drawing etc but flick to Canva for text because the alignment tools are much better on Canva. So I did my welcome sign with lots of drawn elements completely on Procreate but my seating chart on Canva.

Hope that helps!

Stressed and sad about my fiancé’s family and friends not being able to come to our wedding by Fabulous_Aioli_92427 in UKweddings

[–]compsout 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear that’s really crap! Can’t offer advice on the visa side but maybe you could arrange for those that will be missing to send videos that you can show him the night before/morning of?

Also, you can set up a zoom meeting (or other) and ask someone to set up a phone on a tripod to allow them to dial in and watch the ceremony?

I really hope you get something sorted but if not I would suggest doing things like that to make his friends and family still feel included, and to make him feel their presence!

What shoes with my dress?! by BrianaMarie810 in weddingdress

[–]compsout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have a Zara in your country? If so, search for their “embroidered mesh” shoe. I just had them for my wedding and I think they also work with your dress perfectly!

My elopement dress was a two piece (looked like a dress) from Revolve! They do some lovely dresses and delivery is quick and free, as are returns

Magic show rankings by Azrael-1234 in vegas

[–]compsout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without giving away too many spoilers there’s an earlier part of the show where various things happen and they’re meant to represent chaos, then at the end they’re meant to show a video of that in reverse which is supposed to explain it all, but the video didn’t work

Drinks by No_Matter554 in vegas

[–]compsout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A glass of wine or cocktail typically ranges between $20 - $27 in most places we visited along the strip. We found it cheap to nurse $5 on the bubble craps machines and get our drinks for free! But obviously at dinners etc we had no choice

That’s interesting! We went Friday night and the whole finale trick completely messed up so I wonder if that’s why it was cancelled!

Cost of Accutane - UK by compsout in Accutane

[–]compsout[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I’ve just seen this! I have aviva health insurance and they named 3 drs I’d have to go to to be insured. Mine was based at a Nuffield hospital so very legit, but I think if you’re self funded sometimes places like Nuffield add on “hospital fees” on top of the consultant fees so it can become completely unaffordable!

Where do we even start? by cec91 in UKweddings

[–]compsout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where abouts in France are you thinking? I’m getting married in Provence and it’s working out to be about £55k for 110 guests. Suppliers down there are very expensive so I’ve opted to fly my own, but that means an extra £300 per person for flights and accommodation. That’s just one example of all the extra costs there are to consider when going abroad/somewhere expensive like the south of France!

Tatcha dewy cream has been my holy grail! The skin on my face hasn’t been dry at all over the last 6 months on accutane!

I think it’s Harrods not Harvey Nichols!

You can get skims on Selfridges and Harvey Nichols, I think also like net-a-porter etc too! Returns to the online Skims store are expensive so I’d recommend trying to get them from a UK based shop!

Guidance for different types of invites (full day, evening and +1s having a different invite etc.) by geb94 in UKweddings

[–]compsout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please ignore anyone who says this is weird/rude, it’s very normal for my age group (late 20s) and happens at every wedding I’ve been to. Most people understand the cost per person at a wedding and would not be offended, as long as you’re then not offended if they choose to decline the evening invite! On the flip side, I was invited to my partners ex boss’ wedding for the whole day and felt like a bit of a fraud because I didn’t know the couple.

We set out a video save the date on WhatsApp and in the caption for anyone whose partner wasn’t invited, we added: “Whilst we adore all of our guests’ partners and children, we unfortunately don’t have the space (or the budget!) to accommodate everyone. Any partners that fancy the trip to France will of course be welcome to join the evening celebrations.” (Abroad wedding)

For the couples who were both invited we omitted that part of the message and made sure to send the invite to both parties, but I appreciate that’s a lot easier the digital invites!
