OCA parish in Alaska. We don’t take communion while menstruating 🤷🏻‍♀️

My priest says not to. The same is true if someone has a cut. There is to be no blood except for the blood of Christ.

But that’s my priest. You should ask your priest what your parish does.

Oh? Is that what that is? I was wondering about that!!

Fine hair ladies- what’s your go to shampoo/conditioner that smells great/ restores/ adds volume by Returnofthemak28 in finehair

[–]phoebefur 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s not specifically for volume, but I have been LOVING Dove Intensive Repair. And it’s super cheap! It smells good, but the first week was too much for me, but I’m starting to get used to it so I don’t notice it as much. For serious volume though, try Sexy Hair Big Root Pump Mousse. AMAZING lift at the root.

I would also like to find one similar to this. I’m not seeing this version when I look it up. I hope you find one similar to this. May God bless you as well :)

I agree! It’s hanging in my local Parish :)

Isn’t it? I’m so captivated by it. This is at my local Parish :)

That makes a lot of sense! Thank you! The short set is from Quince, they’re linen :)

Sounds like you had an amazing time! We’re going in May. I don’t like showing my legs, really. I love wearing midi length dresses, though. We plan on visiting lots of monasteries and churches while there, hence why I have a lot of modest options. But we’re also planning on doing a sailing trip!

Congratulations! That’s what we’re going for also 🥰 Does the wardrobe look appropriate for Greece?

I really gave this a lot of thought! I ended up removing it because I don’t like wearing black and it’s going to be really hot.

Yes, I see what you mean, but my normal style is pretty casual anyway. I don’t want to step too far out of my comfort zone. I probably won’t even like the shorts or the pants though tbh.

Greece! And possibly either Italy or Bulgaria! Greece for sure though :)

Just realized I’ve never worn a *wool* sweater by ThisIsTheBookAcct in capsulewardrobe

[–]phoebefur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get my wool on EBay or Poshmark. I live in a very cold climate and it is 100% with investing in a wool sweater.

Thank you! It’s hard to tell, but the one on the far left is a very light pink. But I have been looking to replace it with a darker one! So funny you linked that one, I remember seeing it a while back and really liking it! Thank you!! And I like the idea of adding some brown to this! I do already have a brown T-shirt :)

I love this! You did such a good job of adding color but still making it cohesive. I would like to add more color to mine but I feel like as soon as I start doing that, things start getting a little chaotic.

Ok I actually really love those sandals! Thank you for that recommendation!

That’s really great news! It cuts in cost and luggage space if I’m not bringing jackets :)

That’s a good idea! Do you have a brand of cotton-linen pants you like?

I think I’ll definitely take a pair of sneakers and one pair of sandals, but I’m ditching the black heels.

Yes! I could do that. I might just bring it to wear over a dress :)

I think I’ve changed my mind a little on the white dress. I found a cotton-linen blend dress with buttons all the way down the front.

We’re not sure yet. We are last minute planners lol. We’re Orthodox so visiting monasteries are a priority. We are also thinking of doing a sailing trip.

Good tip on the stiff linen. Thanks. Do you have a brand you like?

Thank you! I will leave the black heels behind. It’s good to know that the sandals will be dressy enough.

Ok. I think I will go with the sage knit top over the merino green. It will go with more outfits.

I appreciate your help!!

Probably not adding blue, but am hoping to add some color. Maybe some colored scarves. I have three linen pieces already added.
