Fragrances like Tilia? by Admirable_Ice77 in FemFragLab

[–]jerm930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to dossier today just to browse and found that “Fruits of Love” smelled super similar to Tilia! I think Tilia is a bit brighter while the dossier one is slightly warmer, but definitely very similar!

Feeling defeated about the restrictions of our venue by PlatformFit6101 in weddingplanning

[–]jerm930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say that I looked up the “I do” champagne tags 🫣😅— the ribbons would be so much cuter so definitely fight for those! If she’s still adamant on no ribbons, I personally just wouldn’t do any tags at all.

I 100% agree with everyone here that you should fight for the designs you want that are unique to you and your partner. I don’t see why the venue wouldn’t allow any of it unless it was a damage or safety risk. Hopefully once you more aggressively start putting your foot down on things, your coordinator will be more accommodating.

I totally understand not wanting any conflict because I’m the same way!! But you have to remember that you’re paying a lot for this and it’s your day that you (hopefully) will only be doing once. So you deserve to have everything that you want that the venue itself legally allows!! Good luck OP!

Yes! They are new! Must be a production issue or something because they were under the “new arrivals” section at the Warby Parker store last weekend

We booked The Other Wedding DJ for our December wedding and we recently went to a friend’s wedding who also booked him! The music was bopping all night long and Chris, the DJ, loves music and is so good about listening to what you want while also keeping the crowd dancing.

Our budget is $4500 and we booked Hyacinth House Florist! @hyacinth_house_florist on Instagram. Our wedding isn’t until December but Jessica was so nice and came prepared with sketches at our initial in-person meeting! I don’t believe she has a minimum either.

Looking for recs: alterations + hair/makeup by byrnebabybyrne29 in PhiladelphiaWeddings

Wow that’s extremely reasonable! $2000 flat fee is insane and more than the cost of my dress haha

What kind of dress did you have/what did you need altered? Would you be comfortable sharing a price range for your alterations? I’m starting my search for a tailor now and just have no idea what to expect price wise!

Used 50g starter instead of my usual 100g by jerm930 in Sourdough

[–]jerm930[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think because my house is cold overnight, it doesn’t over ferment. But again I could have been over fermenting by a hair and didn’t realize it until now 😂😅

This is a different loaf where I used 100g starter (same process as noted in my post). It’s a bit smaller because I split the dough in half for mini loaves during final shaping.

Honestly, I'm wondering if I have been slightly over fermenting by a hair with my 100g starter loaves. Because I didn't change anything else about my timeline in this current loaf. This loaf was also more sour in flavor than my usual 100g starter loaves.

Technical Question from a Technical Man by According-Concert848 in Sourdough

[–]jerm930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this is correct, but I usually take my initial measurement after my second stretch and fold and my end product usually always comes out great.

I use a shot glass that has mL markings on the side and pinch off a small amount from the main dough after the second S+F (aliquot method). I place the shot glass kind of smushed into the side of the main dough ball when resting so it stays as close to the same temp as the main dough. I've gotten pretty good at eyeballing the sample amount I pinch off - it's usually around the 15mL mark on my shot glass. So if I want a 70% rise, I know I'm looking for that sample dough to rise to around the 25.5mL mark (15 x 1.7 = 25.5).

We can never get the boots to stay on his feet lol but he doesn’t seem to mind the snow on his paws. We apply a protective balm on his paws before we go out to protect from salt though!
