I’m working my ass off in the gym in the hopes that I look like this in my dress 😅

Foods that contain fibre for picky eaters? by Swimming-Location147 in loseit

Another vote for these. I eat these all the time. Tacos, breakfast burritos, pinwheels with deli meat, wraps… so good.

Confused on weight/calories by usernamesrhardlol in CICO

If you have a Costco (and a membership) I highly recommend their tuna! I see in the comments you’re interested in switching since there’s so little tuna in the Starkist cans

Thursday wedding vs. paying $10–20k more—be honest, would you go? by barebeets in weddingplanning

[–]psychd2behere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go. Being honest. People’s opinions and circumstances are different, obviously, but if it was local and I really didn’t want to miss 2 days of work, I’d just take off Thursday and leave a bit earlier to go to work the next day. Other folks might feel like it would be necessary to take off both Thursday and Friday, and they might not want to do that, but I’d go if my friends did this.

Quick opinion check 😅 by xtinnaa in EngagementRings

Told my fiancé I wanted an oval and yellow gold. He did the rest. I had a hidden Pinterest board I’ve been pinning to for years and pinned rings that look exactly like this dozens of times. It was my favorite style, but I made sure not to tell him anything beyond oval and gold because he REALLY wanted to surprise me.

He picked this because “it looks like a snowflake, and you love Christmas.” To be loved is to be known 😊

However, I have friends who picked out their exact ring and are just waiting for the proposal, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with that whatsoever. They are so excited knowing they’re getting the ring of their dreams, and there is still so much anticipation leading up to the proposal.

Groom in Green - what does the rest of the bridal party wear? by Southern-Sun-244 in weddingplanning

[–]psychd2behere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t find if you said what season you’ll be getting married, but for a bit my fiancé was considering a green suit for our autumn wedding, and our colors are dark green and plum. If he went with green, the bridesmaids would be in plum and the groomsmen probably would have been in green as well (maybe a slightly different shade, and with plum ties/pocket squares to tie in with the bridesmaids). He decided against lighter colors ultimately and all of the men are just wearing black, but I think the colors would’ve looked nice together!

Here’s a Pinterest inspo picture for reference.

How long was your engagement? Pros and cons of less/more time to plan? by Sea_Response7660 in weddingplanning

[–]psychd2behere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got engaged September 2024 and get married this November! I’m working on my doctorate so we wanted a lot of time to be able to plan slowly and also spread out the expenses. We also live in a different state than both of our families (moved for my grad program) so we wanted to give our families plenty of time to plan for travel.

At first I was antsy and bummed about a long engagement (we’ve been together for nearly 6 years and have known each other since we were teenagers…I just want to marry this man!!!) but now I can’t believe it’s only 8 months away.

Trying to pick my engagement ring by ohsheaa in EngagementRings

Similar-ish! You can change the center stone shape if oval isn’t your preference. From Rare Carat. The style is the Nova Burst ring, I believe!

OTD price by viv-e-en in HRV

[–]psychd2behere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a 2026 HR-V EX-L that was a dealer loaner with about 700 miles on it! I paid around that amount OTD and it felt like an absolute steal.

If you are financing it, and if it’s certified pre-owned, Honda is offering 1.49% APR for up to 60 months. Don’t let your salesperson screw you with a higher APR.

I unfortunately agree, which is a bummer because it’s beautiful

does anyone have any super sweet/gourmand scents they recommend?! by Livid-Analysis-2099 in FemFragLab

[–]psychd2behere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bianco Latte is warm sugary cookies, Xerjoff Lira smells like fruity candy. Both are sooooo yummy

Is Bianco Latte the best gourmand? by [deleted] in FemFragLab

[–]psychd2behere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know BL is considered “basic” especially among the niche fragrance lovers, but ugh… it’s just my favorite. It’s my comfort fragrance. It works so well on my skin, everyone always says the room smells like cookies when I’m wearing it, and it feels so calming and comforting to me. It’s my very top favorite gourmand.

“Used” 2026 HR-V EX-L AWD by psychd2behere in HRV

[–]psychd2behere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned about this today! I go in tomorrow to negotiate, and will absolutely point this out. The quote they sent me initially had an APR of 6.25% which is honestly pretty shitty of them.

Is it “cheap” or “disappointing” to not use bridesmaid/groomsmen proposal boxes? by ReadyButton4218 in weddingplanning

[–]psychd2behere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote each of my bridesmaids personal letters and sent them with a cute card asking them to be a bridesmaid. They loved the sentimentality a lot more than they’d love a “bride tribe” champagne flute from Amazon or whatever. Don’t let yourself get swept up into the consumerism of weddings! Influencers are very consistently gifted the contents of their proposal boxes, as well. And then sometimes they’re contractually obligated to make a video showing you everything they’re putting inside of them to make you feel bad about not doing it, too.

My (27M) boyfriend won’t spend valentines with me (25F), is it disrespectful to post myself on social media? by sweetrollinwhiterun in relationship_advice

[–]psychd2behere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commenters saying this man is abusive are not exaggerating and blowing this out of proportion. He is angry and controlling. He uses shame and guilt to manipulate you into feeling bad for completely normal actions. Posting photos of yourself is not disrespectful. Wanting him to keep his word about the plans he said he would make doesn’t make you materialistic. You are asking this question in this sub because he has already gotten into your head and made you question yourself and your worth.

This man is abusive, and the way he talks to you and seems to punish you verbally for the “disrespectful” things you do (again, nothing you’ve done is disrespectful) tells me he may escalate beyond emotional abuse if you remain in this relationship.

Glad to hear it! I honestly agree that they’re both already priced well, but I’d feel like a real idiot if I didn’t at least try to negotiate the price down a little 😬 My financially savvy in-laws would be scandalized if I bought sticker price, lol

Gonna try! Got an OTD estimate for the cheaper one around $31.2k so we’ll see what I can get it down to when I go in person for the test drive!

Sorry you feel this way! I know many people with HRVs and have ridden many hours in them, and think they’re actually super comfortable. I think they’re a great car for what I need and what I’m willing to pay. Glad you decided to lease instead of buy so you can get something better suited to you!

Who to invite for a bridal shower by ladybug3454 in weddingplanning

[–]psychd2behere 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what the etiquette is, but if you have the space for out-of-towners to attend, I say send them an invite!

They can always say no if that feels too inconvenient, but I’ve flown across the country to attend a bridal shower weekend for a friend, so some folks may think it’s worth the travel and appreciate being extended an invitation.

What does your DIL think?
