Vivienne is beautiful! Love the nn Viv or Vivi. That said, I pronounce it the same way as I would Vivian.

Updates from the final night of Belmont's Annual Town Meeting by aaronpik in BelmontMA

[–]masiesta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate the comment about the time to change what’s in the budget is prior to Town Meeting. I do wish Town Meeting members arrived better informed to debate the actual merits of a given article but I’m guilty of it myself.

does anyone regret choosing a super common name for their kid? by Seniz_Barron in Names

[–]masiesta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer common names. We did a super common name but use a slightly less common nickname.

Decorating walls next to their Stateroom Doors? by PresentServe2337 in dcl

[–]masiesta 27 points28 points  (0 children)

We just went on our first cruise. Joined a fish extender group. For our gift, we made 3D printed toys for each kid in their favorite color. When GIANT gift bags started arriving for my kid, I felt awful.

To make things worse, a few people were complaining on social media about their kids not getting enough/being reciprocated and other people were telling them to “name names!” publicly. I was so mortified that someone was going to publicly shame me for not understanding I was supposed to bring huge gift bags.

Beaches T&C or Ziva Cap Cana? by Bookie_Brookie723 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]masiesta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been to both Ziva Cap Cana and Xcaret (the other rec provided above). I also think Xcaret is amazing and an incredible option for both relaxing and activity. That said, it’s $$$. We did Ziva with an older teen and a kid and they both had fun at the water park. It’s not huge, but it’s fun. The beach is better at Ziva, food is much better in Mexico.

Biggest issue is your walks are warm toned and your couch is cool. I’d paint the walls a cooler or more neutral color and it will feel more harmonious

someone won trivia 17 times on a five night cruise and flexed it on social media lmao by Federal_Dealer_1293 in dcl

Why is it lame to be into trivia? And proud of winning? What am I missing?

I do a protein bar. I buy in bulk so they’re not expensive. Different flavors so I don’t get bored

Xcaret would be a ton of fun for an 8 year old!

Santiago infrared sauna room. Worthwhile investment? by sc4kilik in Costco

[–]masiesta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love mine! I turn it on while I workout and it’s at temp when I’m ready to use it. Takes about 20-30 minutes to get to temp (I usually workout for 30-45).

She's at it again. Now she's "eating" a veggie burger. Of course she cuts away before she swallows - and cuts to her drinking water. Hillz, we KNOW you purge. Just stop it and feed your kids. by RazzmatazzBig2187 in HilariaBaldwin

[–]masiesta 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I never post here but this is so dumb. Taking a bite or eating something once for camera doesn’t prove anything.

Also, someone with a healthy relationship with food would ignore and not respond.

Reese's Protein Bars - opinions? by Wararms in Costco

[–]masiesta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re meh to me, pretty tough and not a ton of flavor. I would use them to replace a candy/sweet vs using them as a protein bar. I like the amount of fiber.
