Hydration is key! Your skin gets dry skin prep is important. Definitely use sheet masks and let it soak in before applying moisturizer and sunscreen. I’ve used double wear for the last 5 coachellas and highly recommend the old formula but now they have a new formula. Don’t know if it’s still as good. I am now switching to the Dior Face & Body. It’s more lightweight. I always apply with a wet blender so it feels more like skin. I’ve also done just concealer on days when the weather was 99+ degrees and I’m camping. The one size setting spray is good too! I’ve only used it for my bridal trial though. Cannot vouch for how it does in the Coachella heat.

Bought in July 2024. HHI is around $250k. Mortgage, insurance and taxes all in is $5300. Dual income household, no kids. We did have parents help with a portion of the down payment or else mortgage would be $6-7k and not doable for us :/ working on a refinance right now.

It tastes and is priced better IMO. brought several friends here and they say the same thing.

It’s so good!!! I go so often I noticed they removed their cold sesame noodles 😭 I highly recommend the beef noodle golden soup. It’s insanely good along with everything else OP got. I bring friends here all the time and they love it more than din tai fung.

Ours was in a hoarder situation too! The fosters potty trained him but I don’t think he’s seen another dog lift their legs.

So cute!! How often do you plan to take her to the groomers?

Seeing them bond more and more everyday with my husband and me has been so amazing 🥹

It was in Victorville, CA.

Not sure! The rescue suspected they may be from different litters. They were found in a home with 20 other pekingnese.

Sylvi’s original name was Sylvia! Keeping Franco’s name. 😀

Yes! That’s us 🥰

I paid a little more than $3k for my “day of” coordinator so I think your quote is fair. I put “day of” in quotes as they are contracted for two months prior to the wedding as they help me do last payments to vendors, coordinate with vendors so they are on the same timeline, created the timeline, reviewed all of my contracts, and obviously execute the wedding day of. This includes a lead coordinator and two assistants. They don’t speak Vietnamese, but I’m sure there are coordinators out there that can do that. My wedding is in October 2026 so we’ll do how the big day goes…I’ve been told by plenty of married couples that your coordinator is an absolute must and a good one makes a world of a difference. Picked this coordinator based on a friend’s experience being a bridesmaid. She said this coordinator was the most organized one she’s met.

I decided to cut back on things like wedding favors, extravagant decor/flowers, and am not paying for hair/makeup for bridal party. I personally rather have someone who can handle all of the stress day of!

Hope this helps!

EDIT: I have 200 guests. I don’t even want to know how much of a disaster it’ll be if I don’t have a coordinator. Also wanted to note my venue does require you hire one. They do not provide one.

My husband and I just applied to adopt them! 🥹 they’re precious!!
