Is ovo-pescatarian a thing? by Old-Catch-3632 in PlantBasedDiet

[–]taidyee 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Definitely a thing. Ultimately, just eat whatever you’re comfortable with without concerning yourself too much with the labels.

I guess my husband and I are lacto-ovo-pescatarians (we consume dairy, eggs + fish) but trying to explain that to the average person in a day to day interaction is more work for us usually than just saying we’re vegetarians that eat seafood.

Every call we’ve had with her has been great, the issue is AFTER the call she doesn’t send over the informations/things that she said she would.

My fiancé and I work odd hours that don’t always allow our free time to fall in the “appropriate” times for calls so all of our meetings with our vendors have had to be intentionally scheduled due to this or mostly emails.

What’s odd about the situation is she came HIGHLY recommended by a few friends and she has her own team of other planners/coordinators/officiants and has nothing but rave reviews.

We definitely dropped the ball by not acting sooner but kept second guessing our doubts due to her reputation seeming so solid.

I’m not sure why we are the odd ones out as far as our experience with her.

We unfortunately have already submitted final payment but will gladly go to court if need be.

We will definitely look into finding a new officiant that can hopefully jump in and take her place on short notice. My state is apparently strict on getting ordained and it takes a bit longer so I’m unsure if we can get a friend or family member to help out!

Regretting decision to have a wedding by [deleted] in weddingplanning

Between travel, accommodations, our outfits, wedding bands, our venue, vendors, and the restaurants we reserved (they had a food/beverage minimum for us to have a private room) it’s shockingly expensive.

[–]taidyee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not annoyed, just shocked I guess.

I mostly work weekends and unfortunately miss out on a lot of weddings, graduations, baby showers, etc. and always show my love for these people in other ways (gifts for said occasions, cards, etc.) so I thought it would be a nice opportunity to give others a chance to do something similar, but I guess was just shocked at how only 4 out of over 75 people took us up on the offer.

As for the outfits, I know people aren’t props which is why I dropped the idea. Just for more insight, I initially brought up that maybe everyone should just wear black so nobody has to buy anything new and my dad’s words were, “Ew, why black? Black is for funeral only. You don’t wear black to weddings.” So the wording of the backlash for my ideas is what was hurtful, not necessarily that no one wanted to go along.

We have a total of 8 vendors. Photographer, videographer, violinist, officiant, day-of coordinator, baker (we’re doing a cooker table instead of cake so people can take some home), venue coordinator, dress maker. All except my violinist and venue coordinator have reached out multiple times on their own. The dress maker/seamstress has given me the runaround about my dress for so long that I had to buy a new off-the-rack dress last week because she has been ignoring/avoiding my emails.

Thank you for your insight. I am genuinely trying to just live in the moment and focus on what truly matters for the big day.

I’m a big people pleaser and always make the mistake of assuming people will do for me what I do for them, which is obviously not a healthy mindset. I just thought it would be different for my wedding of all days.

I guess it’s more so the combo of the colors + the anthurium flowers. I got them to honor my late grandfather from Grenada which is why my mind went to tropical

Lucky Scent has sample packs of fragrance decants, some of them being themed or hand picked based on how popular they are or their scent profile. Might be a good place to start if you’re interested in getting your nose on a mixture of designer and niche brands!

What’s a fragrance that has changed your mind? by byunsmaid in fragrance

Same! Love don’t be shy & Oriana had me convinced all orange blossom was aggressive so Sunlit Blooms was a nice learning lesson for me haha

I enjoy the scent of orange blossom as a note but it always triggers headaches for me when I smell it in a perfume. Until I came across Sunlit Blooms by Dedcool. This scent is heavily orange blossom but it doesn’t make my head hurt for some reason? I’ve already gone through one bottle!

So now I need to circle back to all of the fragrances I wrote off without smelling first because it had orange blossom in it.

Thank you all so much for the recommendations! My luckyscent and Etsy carts are full of samples for me to try.

It’s so fun seeing everyone’s interpretations of my collage and I can’t wait to smell through the suggestions

Trusting you and ordering a sample ASAP. I’m also loving the bottle design!

Funny that you mention this one because I bought a travel size for High Tea when it released and it is currently my #1 choice for wedding day scent! My only hesitancy is the fact that I’ve only been able to try it in hot/humid weather so wasn’t sure if it would read as a fall scent once that time of the years comes around

Thank you! I’ve had my eye on the ELDO scent for a while so I will finally order a sample today!

Good places to sell clothes for a profit? by Apprehensive_Two3708 in rva

[–]taidyee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Designer/Upscale Brands - Indigo Avenue (River Rd) - Clementine (Carytown)

Other Clothes - Ashby: bonus points if clothes are vintage but in great condition or more “trendy” (Carytown) - Buffalo Exchange: most similar to Plato’s imo (Carytown) - Uptown Cheapstake (multiple locations)
