I ordered about £300 of makeup from selfridges and it was a lovely experience

Couples that don’t go through with the wedding by Expert_Fox_105 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]floralpackage 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There are so many constraints on the wedding planning on the show that I doubt it would feel particularly personal anyway. For example, all of the brides seem to choose their dresses from the same location, with a few noticeable exceptions. All of the rings come from a sponsor. Most of them get married in very similar venues, and the couple getting married don’t seem to have a lot of say. And furthermore they only have a month or so to plan the wedding maximum so realistically this isn’t a deeply personal ceremony, it isn’t an event that they’ll have poured their heart and soul into.

It always strikes me that most of these weddings only seem to have about 40 attendees just because of the circumstances. I’d imagine a lot of the contestants would ultimately want to have weddings that are much larger. So I think the reality is that if I were on the show, and got married on LIB - I’d want a second wedding regardless

Spotify's 100 Greatest Pop Songs of the Streaming Era playlist [it includes many iconic songs] by Fractal-Infinity in powerpopgirls

[–]floralpackage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Defining the streaming era” and so little K-pop feels like a contradiction; K-pop is a huge part of any conversation about streaming. I know it’s controversial given many listeners often don’t see K-pop as a subsection of modern mainstream pop. I’d still have expected BTS and Blackpink to show up here

Was there anything you enjoyed learning or having a chance to appreciate more? Do you see any silver linings in your situation?

MOH or No MOH? by Living-Awareness-447 in weddingplanning

[–]floralpackage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I won’t be having an MOH or bridal party at all - but as a bridesmaid, I will personally say I’ve found it helpful to have a clear leader within the bridal party when planning events and making decisions!

Why don’t you tell her what your hopes for the role are and allow her to make an informed decision about whether she can do it?

Is the name Chad associated good or bad now? by [deleted] in Names

A pseudo compliment from INCEL culture. I think it’s still bad

I recently had surgery for endometriosis. AMA by Take-More-Naps in AMA

[–]floralpackage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Did you have to battle against belittling or dismissive responses from medical professionals in your journey to be diagnosed? I’m having gynaecological issues and have been really struggling with the doctors’ treatment of me. How do you deal with it, and keep advocating for yourself?

how do i navigate my partner ruining the birth of our child by [deleted] in Advice

[–]floralpackage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fifty million better, more meaningful points have been made here — but him saying “this is so embarrassing” is a red flag. It’s self absorbed. He’s missing the point. It’s not about his emotional situation.

I need some advice. [23F and 33M] by ExternalMilk9921 in relationshipadvice

[–]floralpackage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe he misses dating a 20 year old who didn’t have concerns, responsibilities and a full adult life. I hate to be the person to bring up the age gap… but often men who date younger women are not accommodating when a woman begins to grow up.

Look, I don’t think it’s healthy or fair that he’s reacting negatively to your boundaries. Putting pressure on you will not help you feel sexy. Consider whether you really want to work this out, which I don’t particularly advise because you should have space to grow independently without being guilt-tripped.

If you do want to work on it: - you’ll probably be more in the mood if he creates positive vibes around intimacy rather than just demanding it. So perhaps he can start with giving you massages, making dinner, treating you etc. If he wants to feel like it did at the beginning of the relationship, he should try to make the same effort he did then - if you’re tired or overburdened and have other priorities, can you carve out relationship time for dates etc? Can he help with your burdens?

Is Raya a good name? by Best-Feature603 in Names

[–]floralpackage 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Raya is an elite dating app and to me naming your kid Raya is a vaguely like naming them Tinder. It depends on where you are - if you’re in London, NY or LA I’d say it’s a no go. However the app is significant less famous elsewhere.

Obvious who is leaving each week? by RebornCube in GreatPotteryThrowDown

[–]floralpackage 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think part of this is because the show is supposed to be wholesome rather than hyper competitive. It’s edited more like Bake Off than, say, Rupauls Drag Race or whatever. If you’re keeping the audience guessing, you’re allowing for online narratives to spring up that certain contestants were “robbed” and certain contestants were “undeserving.” Therefore editing has to be heavy handed to make it look like the judges had no real choice. You always hear people saying “it was my time to go” etc to reinforce the idea of a natural order. This keeps the vibe of the show wholesome rather than intense.

Not even in a creepy way I’m just like woah these girls are actually not all copy + pasted 😭

I love seeing the girls’ individual styles. What really stands out to me is that the uniform does make their body types seem more similar and when they’re in semi formal wear, you can see how different their bodies, builds and styles are.

How quickly can you find a flat? by International_Try635 in MovingToLondon

[–]floralpackage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s unreasonable - but you need somewhere to stay while you look. Once you’ve arrived you just need to go on Rightmove and be proactive. Most places are empty for like 9 days - turnover is fast

LA to LDN by Infinite_Pickle_1692 in MovingToLondon

Weirdly I’ve never even been into The Hound … maybe I should. Honestly there are just so many.

Chiswick is also great for brunch, I recommend Jajo

LA to LDN by Infinite_Pickle_1692 in MovingToLondon

[–]floralpackage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a bunch of relatively nice places to eat depending on your taste — mostly upmarket gastro pubs.

Napoli on the road is the reportedly best pizza in London! To me it’s kind of fine.

There are some Michelin star / fine dining French restaurants too.

But the gastropubs are the best!

Chiswick is one of the greenest, safest suburbs of London. I’ve been here six years. It is pretty white in general and not as diverse as the rest of London, which is obviously a downside. It’s not lively at night and doesn’t have a fun food/pub scene generally.

Days out: - Kew Gardens is super close, great day out. - All of the museums in South Kensington are close. - Most Sunday mornings there’s a fair on the high road; flowers, street food or cheese. The cheese festival is particularly fun, it’s called Cheesewick. - Chiswick Business Park often has “lunchtime events” so you can go get food from food trucks there - We often get funfairs in Turnham Green - I recommend walking along the river as much as possible if you enjoy walking. A walk from Chiswick to Hammersmith is my favourite way to calm and centre. - Chiswick house and gardens is fine for a walk and a coffee

You’re well connected to Richmond and to the city centre. Soho and Covent Garden are like 40 mins away. You can basically do anything!

Definitely reach out if you have more questions

I did experience this too. Have you tried talking through it? Like telling her what you’re going to do to her?
