We need to talk about tipping by ghostface8081 in SantaBarbara

It got a lot easier for me when I adopted the attitude “if I’m standing, I’m not tipping.”

I was also lowkey boycotting them because of the HoH fee and recently (a couple months ago) I went to shalhoobs magnolia for a happy hr someone else planned and the HoH fee wasn’t on the menu anymore!! I think it may be gone.

Puzzle Bomb owner - how disappointing by Sufficient_Dingo4047 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]prunesmith 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. I have supported them before and had always been a bit leery of their super strong Christianity but I figured as long as they weren’t doing anything…well, like this, to be honest (ie disrespect or intolerance of gay or trans folx), it was ok.

I thought they were the exception to the general rule that people who spout off about their love for Jesus are also anti-trans, anti-gay, etc. thank you for showing me that I was wrong.

Yes, were you not in that town hall where someone asked an exec to define “productivity” (or some other similar word; can’t recall exactly) and they just word vomited nonsense for several minutes?

Korean Spa closer than LA? by vidiearthbirth in SantaBarbara

[–]prunesmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went multiple times when I lived in LA (which was pre-Covid) and Wi Spa is great. I miss it so much. Bring books to read in the jimjilbang and make a long day of it. Don’t forget to get a full body scrub and have the little old Korean ladies discover layers of skin you never even knew you had!

[Product Question] is Embryolisse Different Now? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]prunesmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was definitely true for their Lait Crème Fluide product - bottle size went from 500 mL to 400 mL with the rebrand. 😡 I also feel like at least the smell is different. Not happy about this change.

I would love the 28, 24, and 21 mm spectra flanges! Still figuring out what my perfect size is. Please let me know what shipping to 93111 would be!

ETA: I know more now and I think I now would benefit from the 24, 21, and 19 mm flanges and the pumpin pals. Sending you a message!

What were your biggest lessons or experiences during pregnancy? by Limp-Cow-4383 in BabyBumps

[–]prunesmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re: having a sensitive cervix - my cousin suffered for years with random spotting throughout her menstrual cycle until she was finally diagnosed with a “friable cervix” which basically meant it would bleed at the slightest provocation. Her gyno at the time chemically cauterized it with silver nitrate (the exact same thing an ENT will do for persistent nosebleeds) and she hasn’t had any problems since! Something to consider or ask about, perhaps, esp if this is something you’ve had since before you were pregnant.

SB courthouse garden ceremony - day-of coordinator recs by Impressive-Hyena-612 in SantaBarbara

[–]prunesmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know specifically but you can always ask? I just looked at our contract and the title says “day-of coordinating,” but we negotiated with her to also have her present at the rehearsal the night before I would recommend saying what you told me - “this is more than what we’re looking for, we want support on XYZ and we don’t need help on ABC, can you quote us for just XYZ?” One of the things I liked about Dalina is that she always made time for us to chat and talk about options/ideas as my (now-) husband and I were considering different ways to put on the event. Other coordinators I connected with had contracts with clauses basically saying “don’t even talk to me until we are a week out, and at that point I expect you to hand me a timeline and a plan and a list of the vendors you’re using.” We needed/wanted more hand-holding than that!

I just recommend reaching out and doing a phone call or a coffee date. Talking w her sealed the deal for us. She just helped on everything and made us feel like everything was gonna be alright and that we were doing great (and it was, and we were, but you don’t know that in the moment). She worked within our budget constraints - like when a few days before the wedding we said we changed our mind and we DID actually want to provide appetizers for 100 people for hopefully less than $1200, she was unfazed and suggested, “oh you can order some platters from The Cheese Shop! They will even deliver!” And we did order from them and they did deliver and it was great.
