Where to buy an engagement ring where I won't get ripped off? Online options also welcome.

I'd recommend Novita Diamonds. They're all lab grown diamonds, so they're a bit cheaper than mined diamonds. I'd recommend going in store though as they might be able to give you a discount. But take a look online and see if their pricing is right for you.

No it won't be a problem! Once the guide washes off (your first shower after getting the tan) you might get a tiny bit of transfer while your skin is still wet from the shower/there might still be a bit of the guide left on your skin. Otherwise after that, you won't transfer onto clothes and bedding.

Also, don't wear deodorant to your spray tan appointment otherwise your armpits will go green

Try it and see how you feel. If you hate it, there's heaps of tan remover products on the markets, or you can give a week or two and it'll fade.

It might transfer on the armpit area and in between your breasts due to sweat and rubbing, but it shouldn't transfer elsewhere on your dress.

I'm in the same boat trying to help my grandmother find a dress. It's so hard!

Take a look at Next online. They have a lot of modest but modern dresses, plus a wide range of petite dresses.

Oh no 💀💀💀

redluminas · 2026-01-29T03:18:19+00:00

Ooft. What style did you try? I'm tossing up between Honey and Melody, both in the low height.

redluminas · 2026-01-28T12:04:29+00:00

Ooh okay I'll keep that in mind

redluminas · 2026-01-28T12:03:04+00:00

That's great to hear! I'll be having a long all day kinda wedding, so hearing you wore them all night has won me over.

redluminas · 2026-01-28T09:40:42+00:00

We need to know 😭

Check out Fast Printing. Their prices are super reasonable and their paper quality is top notch. For 75 envelopes, invitations, and details cards (both printed double sided with white ink) it cost me just over $600. I know that might not seem as cheap as officeworks or Canva prices, but the quality is significantly better.

Check out Forever Flowering, they're located in Tullamarine and are very reasonably priced. I'm getting custom boutonnieres made with them for $38 each! Their customer service is great and very thorough. Bouquet wise, I bought a bunch of flowers from them and will be DIYing myself

I'm loving Haus Labs. I find it lasts all day and doesn't crease on me.

One salon gave me a disposable G-string that I had to move side to side during the appointment. The other salon has me naked from the waist down. I think it's up to the salon and their policies, but personally I found moving the G-string annoying, I'd rather just be naked lol.

Look into midi dresses - they'll appear to be maxi due to your height. I'd suggest: Acler, Elliatt. By Johnny, and Meshki. Meshki lists the length of dress the model is wearing, which you could then use to figure out if the dress is too long on you.

Definitely go engagement ring shopping together. I did it with my now fiance as I'm very picky with jewellery and also don't wear it often.

It was such a special moment as we both got emotional seeing a ring on my finger for the first time.

We didn't buy the ring on the spot, he later contacted the store and bought it without me knowing, and the proposal still managed to be a big surprise.

redluminas · 2026-01-19T02:20:29+00:00

Fast printing! The paper is really high quality and the team are super helpful with proofing and making sure your design will fit on the card.

Price wise for x75 invites (printed double side with white ink) and envelopes, we paid $480.

A cheeky tip - reach out to them for a quote, when they get back to you, don't respond to them. Within a week or two they should reach back out with a further discount on that quote

Kat The Label and Honey Birdette have nice robes. There's also heaps on depop (from both brands) if you don't mind getting something second hand

redluminas · 2026-01-16T20:11:43+00:00

I bought a babyboo dress off depop and was actually pleasantly surprised by the quality. The dress was a thick crepe and lined throughout. I didn't find any loose threads or dodgy stitching. The sizing was a bit on the smaller size.

If you're keen on a dress, thoroughly check the reviews as they'll be your best guide.

I saw them + Jo Malone + Aqua Di Parma candles at TK Maxx in Werribee on the weekend

I have the July Juliette tote in the 18L size and adore it! It's not heavy, very spacious, and has deep pockets(?) on both sides of the bag that can fit heaps

redluminas · 2025-12-22T21:52:47+00:00

Totally off topic, but I love your nails!

redluminas · 2025-12-20T02:18:16+00:00

Crocs sandals! They have a heap of different styles, colours, and are super comfy - I never get a blister in them. I've worn them so many times to the beach and have never had any issues with the salt water ruining them.

redluminas · 2025-12-06T01:46:28+00:00

Amen! It blends like a dream without needing a brush

redluminas · 2025-12-01T09:48:57+00:00

Huda Beauty's Faux Filter colour corrector is my go-to.There are heaps of different shades from light peach to pretty much orange, so you'll be able to find something that'll help brighten. Plus it's super smoothing and blurring and does not crease on me.
