what can i do to help my pilea grow fuller? she seems so spindly right now. i did a big chop MONTHS ago because she was getting really leggy and sparse, and planted all of the shoots in the soil, which have rooted and are growing little leaves now. is this too many babies in one pot? should i separate? any advice is appreciated!

light info: living in southern california and all my windows are NE facing. she is as close to the window as she can be without literally being outside. i rotate her every week.

watering info: i water her only when her soil is dry. i check by sticking my finger into the soil.

(gentle) feedback wanted!

i used to be really into colorful/playful makeup but fell off for a long time and feel like i never mastered any specific techniques/methods (i.e., contouring, best application methods/placement for blush, etc). i am eloping in June 2027, and would like to do my makeup myself in a more natural, glowy/warm look. the ceremony itself will only be about 10 minutes, but we are doing a 1.5 hour photo shoot after.

pics 1 and 2 were taken in front of my glass patio door about 2 hours after i did my makeup. pic 3 was taken 5 hours after i did my makeup, mid-dog walk, around sunset.

some questions:

1. what’s working in this makeup look? what can i do to improve?
2. do i really need contour and bronzer? would either/both elevate this look? i am naturally sweaty/oily so i worry that more product would look muddy
3. should i get an actual foundation instead of the tinted moisturizer? my skin texture in these pictures looks slightly above average compared to how it normally looks
4. should i get setting powder AND spray? which do i use first? should i only use setting powder if i am a naturally sweaty/oily person? (product recommendations highly appreciated!)
5. what order am i supposed to put products in 😭 i know base makeup first but does it matter after that?? can i do blush/eye shadow/concealer/brows in any order?
6. chances of me crying at least a little during the ceremony are pretty high. what products would you recommend that would stay in place? should i try waterproof mascara or go straight to extensions?

product list:
\- aveeno moisturizer
\- elf poreless face primer
\- covergirl bb cream tinted moisturizer + sunscreen in “light to medium” (should this come before the primer?? should i be skipping the aveeno moisturizer?
\- naked 3 urban decay eyeshadow in golden brown, light gold shades
\- revlon glimmer brightening concealer the shade light (unsure of the exact shade, it’s worn off)
\- elf soft glam cream blush in the shade “gumball”
\- elf wow brow tinted gel in the shade “brunette”
\- tiny bit of wet & wild color stick in my inner eye corners in the color “shimmer” (gold)
\- cover girl lash blast mascara in “brown black”
\- elf main stain lip marker in the shade “mauvelous”

please help! i love almost every single thing about these Steve Madden heels EXCEPT for the color in the very center. i am looking for similar shoes (embroidered, detailed, etc, chunky mules). any suggestions are greatly appreciated! ❤️

i LOVE this dress, except for the neckline. is it possible to have it tailored to have more of a scoop/rounded V neckline? the dress shell is 100% cotton, the inner lining is 100% polyester. thank you in advance!

just found this marking in one of my ficus’ leaves. i tried to wipe it off but it doesn’t move at all (i even tried gently scraping with my nail, also a no-go). any ideas of what this could be?

so here’s the deal: my fiancé and i are getting married on a tight budget. i do NOT want a traditional wedding dress, but rather something more colorful and/or casual/my style. we will be doing a quick courthouse ceremony (with a photographer friend getting some film photos), a “just got married” photo shoot in Yosemite National Park with a professional photographer, then a big family dinner/reception to celebrate.

for the dress with purple flowers, i would have a tailor remove the excess fabric around the bust (held back with a claw clip in the photos lol). for the all white dress, i would have a tailor shorten it a few inches.

please help me decide which dress to wear (or if i should wear both, and if so, which dress to which part of the whole getting-married-timeline???). my style is very casual/athletic/comfy so i feel very out of my depth :( any sizing/styling/accessory recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

edit: we will be doing the courthouse ceremony one day, yosemite the next day, and the family celebration a week later!

edit: the courthouse ceremony and the yosemite photo shoot are two days back to back, and the family dinner is 10 days after that!

i have over 30 million bells but still need to visit other islands/have visitors on my island to get the nook miles badges. if you need bells, comment your name/island or DM me and i will trade you bells for a visit! i don’t need anything from you besides getting to stop by your island for a few seconds to make the visit count!
