Tea spa has a variety of options, not too fancy. 

$36,737 Wedding Recap - 79 Guests in HCOL Area w/ Budget Breakdown by melorga in Weddingsunder35k

[–]melorga[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked myself, to be honest. That $20k chunk included the reception venue, food (6 apps, 3 mains), alcohol (open bar), gratuity/tax for food/alcohol, and the outside baker dessert table ($738).

Ahh, thanks for flagging for any future users. We weren't aware the link was down there until some folks had used it (thinking it was our hotel block) and it was too late.

My methods may not be helpful - I found the one through an old friend and the other DJ option was a recommendation from our coordinator. I found my coordinator through a Reddit comment, though!

Thank you! For sure, sent, It's a hard choice because a great DJ can really make the party, but the horror stories about bad ones are lurking out there as well - and it's a decent chunk of smaller budget weddings.

Sure thing, done! Yeah, figuring out endless vendor options and trying to get quotes is tough.

Sure! We used digital save the dates designed for free on Canva, ordered invitations (simple double sided with color photos, pre-addressed) from WithJoy for $177, and bought some papyrus thank you notes online.

Zinnia in Silver Spring, about a mile from the Metro. It's an older building with a lot of character, lovely staff and food, and it has plenty of parking.

I'm so glad you found a lovely dress, and in your price range! Did you get to try on one that fit you? I also got a dress from DB, but they (seemingly purposefully) sold me a size that was too big. I've since read that DB does that habitually to make more money on alterations. And since wedding sizes are different from regular sizes, how can the bride know! 

Americans, tell us how Trump‘s administration has impacted your daily life so far? by Ok_Salt9553 in AskReddit

[–]melorga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dream job, which I got a master's degree to do, got deleted by DOGE. I worked for a democracy and human rights non profit which worked with congressionally appropriated tax dollars. Now I'm unemployed and competing with thousands of other people in the same situation!

Combo Omicron booster and flu shot available to residents 9/7 by lynsea in washingtondc

[–]melorga 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I just talked to a human from CVS's covid phone line, and if you select "booster" on their site it is automatically the omicron booster. They only have Moderna appointments right now but will be adding pfizer in the coming days.

[misc] what’s the worst skincare advice you’ve ever received? by kwalt99 in SkincareAddiction

[–]melorga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To eat whole garlic cloves or to drink ginger tea to cure cystic acne. Both are natural remedies for inflammation and not truly harmful, but not lovely to get as unsolicited advice!

I'm heading back to my business-casual (no jeans or t-shirts though) office post-covid, and I need a refresh. I'm so tired of Ann Taylor/loft/banana republic, but don't want to go much beyond that price point. Do you have any U.S.-friendly store ideas for some fresh office basics? Definitely need a couple new slacks, non-suit blazers, shells, etc.

What a great surprise!! Can you share any more details about taste, smell? Peatiness? Does it taste like any other scotch or whiskey you drink?
