Hey all! I reached out to a few people who do both hair AND makeup since I am getting ready in my small condo and didn’t want to host or coordinate multiple people. I wanted to share the quotes since I would have found this helpful. These are prices for just day-of hair AND makeup plus a hair and makeup trial but they had other add-on pricing for things like additional people, travel fees, touch ups, etc. If you have any questions lmk!

Paula Mai: $600 + $480 for trial

Tiffany Chiang/Design Her Image: $1100 (early bird booking, normally $1300) + $550-$650 trial

The Makeup Dolls: $1200 + $500 trial

Leece Stylz: $550 + $325 trial

Alexandra Drew: $600 + $375 tria

okay y'all I'm jetting off to NY to have some bougie dinners/shopping with my bff for a chill bachelorette next month while my fiancé's best friend is coming to town to hang with him from aug 13-16.

obvi I am not going to plan it all FOR them, not my job, but if left to their own devices they'll just drink and chill and i know he set up some surprise with my best friend for me already so I'd love an idea of one similar thing to do for them: house of prime rib rez in his friend's name? some kind of experience? he doesn't gamble but he loves music, boats, whiskey, and old school vibes.

Hey friends,

I grew up in Woodland Hills in the San Fernando Valley, going to a sushi restaurant called Tatsuki on Ventura Blvd and Baza Avenue. There was a sign above the Tatsuki sign that I distinctly remember saying "Valentino After Five," but that sign is no longer there. I can only remember the other businesses being a dry cleaner, a tattoo shop, and a vacuum repair shop. Any thoughts? For some reason this has been on my mind for 20+ years.

Attaching an image of the signage, it was the top circular one; https://ibb.co/HBPChfP

And I can’t just accept that I need to call a dentist because I have bad teeth, noooo I have to spiral until I’m sweating and almost crying about how I binge on sugar too much and so this is all my fault and I’m a disgusting toothless mess who should just stop eating and only swish mouthwash forever :( everything comes back to food.

Wondering what awful traditions your families insist on maintaining.

No one in my family cooks but me, but my SO’s family loves Depression-era jello salads and potato salads that are just mayo, potatoes, and whole black olives. I love them all but avoid their weirder side dishes! What are you going to avoid this week?

Please help me break my addiction to $8 Lush baths! What's your go-to special bath stuff?

I just got anxious even typing that out like I was going to jinx it.

I’m doing really well. I’m really happy. I’m gelling at my new job. I’m secure. I’m planning a trip. But I’m always always (always always) waiting for the other shoe to drop. You know?
