How quickly can you plan an elopement?

Got engaged last week, and we have a trip to Vietnam in 5 weeks. I would love to use it as an opportunity to elope. The marriage would be done legally in our home country, it would essentially just be a day dressed up, doing vows, taking photos.

Where should I start? Bonus points if anyone has personally eloped in Asia I am struggling to find much online!

How can I have a hair glow up?

I have long straight hair. Currently I never style, or blow dry it, just shower and go. I use leave in conditioner after a wash, and once a week I do a deep conditioning mask and hair oil.

I would like to start making more of an effort as I feel like it often looks lifeless, and having great hair has such an improvement on your overall appearance! Curious what tips and tricks work for others. Any lower maintenance habits that have improved your hair?

Home Furnishings?

Recently bought a home and am in the market for furniture, bedroom sets, and rugs. I have slowly begun to accumulate some items secondhand and through estate sales, but wondering if there are any high quality companies that others recommend? Bonus if they are in Canada.

Products and services not in Canada

Would love to know what services and beauty products you recommend spending money on that you either can’t get in Canada, or are significantly more expensive in Canada. Thank you!

Mouthwash recs?

I have been struggling with bad breath as a side effect of my Sibo. I had used Listerine mouthwash and found my stomach acted up significantly when using. Any other brands that you recommend? Or alternatives to help with breath? I have starting using liquid chlorophyll too. Thanks!

Traveling and the 3 month wait period

My partner and I were planning to start TTC in the Fall. However, we both have a significant amount of vacation time and are thinking of doing a trip to SE Asia over Christmas.

Would you put off trying until after the trip? Additionally, I read mixed information about waiting 90 days prior to traveling this region of the world due to zika virus. Meaning we would be pushing the timeline back about 6 months (we are 31 and 34)

Curious what others know/have done regarding this wait period. Some articles say it’s a must, and others say it’s not necessary. Appreciate any insight or experiences

Advice on a SE Asia itinerary

Found a flight deal into Phnom Penh. We would have 3 weeks total, would like to spend time in northern Vietnam, and ideally some time in Laos as I have never been before.

Trying to decide if there is a logical route here, or if it would make more sense to spend $500 more on airfare and fly in and out of Hanoi. Would appreciate any advice as it has been many years since I was in this region of the world!
