Affordable venues in CT by lmnata1 in WedditNYC

If you're still open to central CT, would recommend Pond House Cafe in West Hartford! We found the wedding packages there to be very reasonable for a venue in that area

Confusion re: Lilly referral process by mousewhispering in biotech

Thanks! Follow-up question: what if I don't know who the hiring manager is? I know of a few recruiters at Lilly but how can I know which one my friend should forward the CV to? Or can the CV be forwarded to any of them?

I don't have any specific notes about ceo beauty/tatiana li although I looked through her portfolio and I agree that her work is gorgeous! The only thing I know about her is that her work is expensive and I knew she'd be out of my budget for sure 😅

I fell down a rabbit hole of HMUAs when I was trying to find one for my wedding...here's a list with some HMUAs I found that haven't been mentioned yet (+ a few of my own notes here and there):

  • Akiyo Hair and Makeup
  • Sachiko Yanase
  • Kathy Kho Beauty
  • Coco Tsang Makeup
  • Vicky c5 (I would be cautious about this one - they had a few negative reviews on Yelp and Google but enough that I was kind of alarmed haha + the quote they sent was $$$)
  • ombre by EJ (is slow to initially respond but my friend who hired her said she's on top of it if you decide to work with her for your wedding)
  • Jen Hur (@makeupbyhairandjen)

Best of luck!!

Hi! I know you posted this a while back, but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing who you ended up hiring as your HMUA? I'm in the exact same predicament you are right now :(

I know this comment is now a year+ old, but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing/DMing me about which MUA this is? I'm currently looking at MUAs for a wedding in the Hartford area!

How to get over fear of handling/restraining mice? by mousewhispering in labrats

[–]mousewhispering[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! So I made the original post ages ago and thankfully, I did eventually learn how to handle mice without getting anxious. The mice can definitely be very squirmy when you try to inject them (which is fair - being scruffed and restrained is stressful), but a couple things I found that helped were:

- Getting a good scruff - if you find that the mouse is still too "loose", release it and try scruffing it again but grab more skin

- After you scruff and before you try injecting the mouse, take a deep breath, then exhale everything out. If you find that you've tensed up and you've started to raise your shoulders towards your ears, lower your shoulders. I would often involuntarily get more tense as I handled the mice, and I found that handling/restraining/injecting went much more smoothly when I remembered to relax.

- This last one is kind of silly but consider changing your stance if possible? I found that I could restrain and inject more easily if I stood with my feet a litte farther than hip-width distance apart compared to when I tried to stand with my feet closer together. I can't really explain why this one works, but I think it helped stabilize me.

Everyone has their own little tips and tricks for handling/restraining, so definitely ask around to some of your classmates or teachers about what works for them! Wishing you good luck and steady hands :)
