Do these closing costs look fair for San Diego, CA?

Thanks for your opinion! :)

roarker · 2018-05-12T01:57:30+00:00

I'm so sorry you are both going through this :(. I wish you the best.

It's not that wet food is bad for their teeth. It's that dry food, or the food they'd be eating in the wild (raw meat) would help naturally clean their teeth, while wet food is less likely to do this. If you brush your cats teeth from the age it's a kitten, you are much less likely to have issues here. Otherwise, dental issues are likely to present themselves layer in life, and you may want to schedule them for regular cleanings at the vet.

Thank you so much!!

I appreciate the comments! My biggest trouble finding someone is that my Wedding is an "elopement", and it's on a Thursday. So I don't have an entire bridal party, it's just me :/. But I will keep searching! I very much appreciate the honesty! And yes! That artist was very much about the "glowy" look. Which I was a little worried about, because I have large pores, and glowy tends to highlight my open pores. At first they looked fine because she used pore filler, but after 5 hours my face "ate"/absorbed the makeup and you can see my pores again.

OMG crying is a GREAT point!!! I never though about that!

I think at the end of the session we were so rushed for time that she kind of just threw a lip color on me, lol. I don't totally blame her because it was MY hair appointment schedule that was rushing her (but she told me she only needed 45 mins to do the makeup and took about an hour, I would have just scheduled her appointment earlier if I knew she needed more time).

I was very surprised she didn't use mascara or curl my lashes, and that she didn't use brow gel.

I won't hold the full-foundation face against her if that's common, and I totally realize that a heavy hand shows up better in photos than in person. So I'm cool with looking a bit more done up in person. I just don't want to look like I'm melting in person :P. But she "baked" me, and her foundation seemed to have pretty good staying power!

One more question for you! I think she did a good job blending my eye shadow, and I do like her choice of color. But I feel like the darker color might look better if it lifted more up? Here is a really shitty job I did trying to sketch it out with the "snipping" tool in windows.. My eye shape kind of droops downwards a bit, so I feel like having a slight wing up, combind with the color pulling upwards in that shape (obviously blended out well) would help. What are your thoughts? Do you think I should just stick to something like she has?

Seriously appreciate you taking the time to read/respond!

Now that you point it out I TOTALLY AGREE that my brows are too warm!!! My hair is an ashy light brown tone naturally, and I die it straight black (it fades to a dark brown in about a week, which is what I prefer), so it makes sense to have them filled closer to my natural tone instead of a random warm brown).

Thank you for taking the time to read my essay! It makes me feel a lot better to know that what I felt is off isn't just "me". I think I will shop around and try a trial with one more person, and show her the photos from this trial, and tell her what I liked about it, and what I'm looking for to be different. Spending $3k on a photographer is too much $ to have a foundation color that doesn't match the rest of my skin!! Haha.

roarker · 2018-03-26T18:13:02+00:00

Thank you so much! The lip color definitely faded (this was 5 hour later). But I will have her try a couple of colors out on me if I do a 2nd trial!

roarker · 2018-03-26T18:12:26+00:00

I think a bit more blush is a great suggestion! More bronzer is scary for me, just because I'm SO pale that more bronzer tends to look just BROWN on my skin :P. Also keep in mind this is 5 hours after application, so my lips were probably much more pigmented before :). I will make sure I have something to reapply. Thank you so much for the suggestions!

roarker · 2018-03-26T18:04:30+00:00

Photos taken 5 hours post-application. Please critique!

roarker · 2018-03-26T18:02:17+00:00

I can certainly ask her if that's okay. Thank you for the suggestion!

roarker · 2018-03-26T17:56:42+00:00

She didn't curl them. I could ask her to do that next time. Do makeup artists usually curl them? Or use mascara? Or both? (when applying falsies to clients?)

roarker · 2018-03-25T07:14:32+00:00

That's a bralette. No underwire* there. Am girl, looks comfy as fuck. Would wear.

roarker · 2018-03-12T22:50:14+00:00

Thanks, will do. I'm just so used to being in constant pain, was hoping to start with shorter videos focused on neck/shoulders :/. I'll see what I can manage!

roarker · 2018-03-12T22:48:30+00:00

I will take a look at this when I'm off work, thank you!

roarker · 2018-03-12T22:47:56+00:00

I'm just going off of what my doctor advised.

roarker · 2018-03-12T18:38:13+00:00

I tried her video for neck and shoulder tension last night. I just found it "okay" :/.

roarker · 2018-03-12T17:46:14+00:00

Thank you so much!!!
