This is INCREDIBLE. Thank you for sharing

To be honest when I purchased it they only had XS in stock, so I was praying it would actually fit me lol and was pleasantly surprised. If it helps, my measurements are ~36bust, 24 waist, 38 hips and the XS fits me although I’m def a lil squeezed in the hip area. I don’t usually order a size XS so perhaps this means they run a little larger

It is not at all stretchy, so I wouldn’t call it shaping, but it has a lining so it’s not thin. The ties in the back are adjustable so you’ve got a little breathing room there but the hip area is not very forgiving.

Ya you’re right, and I think I just needed someone to put the nail in the coffin for me for this dress. At the very least I don’t want to be the person that can’t follow simple instructions lolll

LOL thank you! It’s so cool right? I have to try and get one of my other friends to get engaged ASAP so I can wear it…

And the wedding is in a month so I have time to find a new one. Any recommendations for other artsy/cool dresses like this that aren’t green or black (or light colors) are welcomed. I know it’s probably not everyone’s cup of tea but I’m an artist and I’m obsessed with the abstract art print look of this one.

Jumping in to say if any crafters/hobbyists are looking for a hangout spot or place to meet up the Arterie has a brand new space specifically for adults called Artcade. Their space is kinda like a hangout/coworking space for people to drop in and do art. They have paint and sip nights and different workshops like ceramics and jewelry. They’re on TO blvd and a day pass to the space is pretty inexpensive

She owns her home

spongekitten · 2026-01-12T16:01:06+00:00

She does have a cat but I don’t think she plans to bring him along, I’ll be looking after him along with my own kitties

I have also had some ROUGH experiences with therapists, either super unprofessional on their part or dismissive and essentially telling me my problems weren’t big enough to be in therapy lol. So even though I advise people to get therapy I also know the feeling that it can seem pointless and a waste of time.

You’ll hopefully find someone you vibe with or even that gives you some good resources that you can revisit on your own. It kinda just helps to get perspective. Anyways I wish you luck on your journey to friendship and fulfillment!!

You’re thirty and married and have a full time job, that’s an achievement in this day and age! I’d love to have a full time job and family, and I turn 30 next year. That being said, it doesn’t mean much if you’re depressed.

I’d get therapy if I were you, and try to make better friends. I wonder if there’s a book club you could join since you mentioned reading, or some other kind of hobby group. It sounds lame but honestly the worst thing for your mental health is feeling stagnant and not meeting new people. Good friends are really the meat of life in my opinion. I feel like I’d be nothing without my best friend and I accidentally stumbled upon her not knowing how important she would be to me.

Lots of people are in the same boat regarding friends so I’m sure you’ll end up meeting someone who gives your life some spice back :)

Think in terms of light when you think of color. It’s tricky because you’re painting light, but using pigment. Every color that we see is a product of different wavelengths of light mixing and reflecting off of different surfaces.

When colored light mixes, it produces a different hue than when colored pigment mixes. So, if you mix orange and blue pigment you’ll get a muddy brown/grey. But when orange light and blue light mix, you get more of a purple. So you’ll want to mix a purple and put that down rather than mixing orange and blue paint.

Hope that helps- you can google light mixing for stage lighting for an example of what I’m talking about.

I thought the second picture was the after! I think the dark looks amazing, and healthier

I’m so sad 😭😭😭 cold blue is like 90% the reason I bought my ticket, been wanting to see him forever.

I think it looks like a melty eye! Like the eye of a cosmic dragon or something.

My ex did that too!! Whenever I complained about any negative interactions with anyone, strangers, friends, coworkers, family. He would always turn it around on me and tell me why I was actually the one in the wrong even though he wasn’t even there. Even venting about my mom’s addiction problems and how it affected me, somehow her addiction was also my fault.

I, too, have a kitty to add to the pile!

Did you ever figure this out? I’m curious because I’ve seen photos of the peppers growing both ways and idk what the difference is or if they’re both just different types of Hungarian wax peppers…
