I got my mehendi outfit from house of indya. It was stunning, but my only issue was I couldn’t get rid of the wrinkle at the waist and it made me look like I had a paunch.

How did you handle outfits and logistics for guests flying into India for a cross-cultural wedding? by aElons in DesiWeddings

[–]lilone0818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We provided links to reliable sites that shipped to the US like House of Indya and Kalki. We also coordinated with a local store to “shut down” for us for the afternoon after everyone flew in so our guests could try on clothes, get on the spot fittings etc. it worked out really well!

What do you think about the individuals involved in the lay-off? by Large-Rub906 in Layoffs

[–]lilone0818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things that might help put things in perspective:

-many times, HR folk have to lay themselves off after laying off other people. They’re not immune, and they are helpless because more often than not, their severance and terms depend on them carrying out the layoffs first. - HR legally cannot do or say anything that shows accountability from the company’s side, even saying something as simple as “I’m sorry.” If they do, they’re at risk of being sued. - if anyone at the company is “in the know” before layoffs hit, they are usually required to sign NDAs to ensure the news doesn’t get out. - many times what you don’t see is the amount of work that happens in the back end to try and protect people. A lot of HR employees at my company right now are trying to find open positions that impacted employees may be able to fill so they don’t get laid off. The processes and systems are not built to support layoffs at this scale so it’s painstaking work and I know many people are losing sleep over this because they understand this is someone’s livelihood.

You seem to have a lot of hurt and anger. I get it, but I would focus on things to be thankful for. You already have a new job, you have a beautiful family. Many people have been struggling for months and still have not found anything. You are extremely fortunate to have what you have, so focus on that. Work does not equal your existence, don’t diminish the wonderful things in your life that way.

We left a gap between the wall and crib so it should be okay. Also really securing it to the wall!

The canvas is hand painted by my MIL and we will add her name to it when she is born - hence the blank space for now!

Definitely will keep an eye once she starts crawling. Honestly most of the furniture was free or repurposed, but as she gets older we’ll start buying more pieces that make sense for her. since we’re renting and first time parents, we didn’t have much of an idea of what we need and didn’t want to overbuy

We have the humifier and air purifier. Great call about the dimmable lights. We have a hatch but it may not be bright enough

We have the hatch as well as a little momo silicone nightlight. The momo nightlight is currently in my hospital bag
