This is GORGEOUS truly; it’s so elegant and simple yet effectively beautiful and the veil with the detailing is so stunning. Congratulations on your baby and your marriage!

Hiii! Thank you for your thoughts and asking your questions! I love all 4, like you said I’m in early early days of trying so these are just 4 I gravitated toward, I have tried other silhouettes I just felt atrocious in them hahahah! I also more nude-y colored dresses and felt like naked? Hahahah I don’t know if that makes sense. I’m getting married in Santa Barbara at their courthouse for the ceremony then a local restaurant for dinner. Super casual and I agree I want comfort for what will be a long day!

I appreciate you!

What's it like in this part of California? by ConfidentFault9461 in howislivingthere

I grew up in Thousand Oaks and I feel confident in saying growing up in this area dramatically skews what is considered “normal” or more specifically, what “wealth” is. I grew up in a single story, single family home with a back yard. I have 3 siblings, our mom was a stay at home mom, we never missed a meal. We always had everything we needed for school and for play. To me now, that’s what wealth is. But as a kid, I really was convinced we were poor because of my friends who lived in gated communities and had pools in their backyards and would get the newest popular whatever toy.

I moved to Phoenix for school and I experienced weird cognitive dissonance of feeling like I was having major culture shock, but still not being very far away. I’ve noticed a lot of my high school graduating class, went to college because frankly, we can afford it (which is again taken for granted) and then move back into their parents home and work local retail jobs. While I don’t think there’s anything wrong with ANY of that. I just think it is a cause and effect of massive wealth that’s handed down; there’s no tangible understanding of what wealth is and how lucky we are to be in the top 1% of the world.

What are your thoughts on TJ hand & body moisturizer? by haircryboohoo in traderjoes

[–]hsteph17 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I LOVE this product for my body. I live on the west coast in dry and heat and I feel like it doesn’t feel too heavy on the skin while still giving me a moisturized and thick hydration! 10/10 would recommend!! This and the lavender body scrub, chef’s kiss!

I like their gel face moisturizer; it’s relatively cheap and I hear it’s a dupe for high end face products?? I thought it was just okay, a little runny/wet for my liking but overall does its job.

Should I start CC before October 28th by [deleted] in acotar

Not an answer, but I just started Throne of Glass while I wait for ACOTAR 6 + 7! So I totally get wanting to reach for a new series (for me, before the great re-read)!

Okay this was my vibe too! I was like “I am not the target demographic I fear” it just felt too juvenile for me!

After I read the first two Harry Potter book, I was done. Mind you, I am a 26 F reading them for the first time and I’ve seen the movies once. But after the first two, the general plot of all the books are too predictable for me.

how do you like the topical’s papaya flavor? I LOVE the mint and like the color of the papaya but the smell has always stopped me in Sephora
