I’m trying to be really intentional with my capsule wardrobe for my Italy honeymoon. Dresses, skirts and shirts is what I’m thinking. I’ll be going in August and keep hearing that it’ll be super hot. I’ve been trying to find cotton but I didn’t realize until now how many clothes are actually polyester so I’m hunting for affordable cotton (no linen as I don’t want to deal with wrinkles)

I’m from Florida so I’m used to the heat but I’m stressing because I keep reading how unbearable the heat is and we plan to mostly walk everywhere. How absolutely necessary is cotton clothes? Are polyester dresses and skirts fine? What other type of material (not linen) kept you comfortable during Italy heat?

Will be going to Rome, Florence, Venice, Verona and Milan.

The Kindle PW has helped spark my love for reading again but now I’m faced with an upcoming beach and pool day. Now I have to worry about overheating, sand and theft, three things I didn’t worry about with physical books.

I’m more concerned about the overheating and sand at this moment. Is there a special case you guys buy for your kindle to reduce sand and sunscreen or does your regular case do? I have it in a flip case without a screen protector but wondering if I need a pouch? Screen protector for pool day?

What’s the best way to reduce sand?

What are your recommendations?

I feel overwhelmed with all this wedding planning and the day is getting closer and I still need to do the music playlist for our DJ. He wants us to give him every song we want to play and quite frankly I just don’t care, I don’t have time. I’m drowning. I barely have time to even watch tv between work and wedding planning. I wish I could just give him like 10-20 songs we like and be like fill it with similar songs. I’m really not picky. I just want a mix of current and previous popular danceable music.

Anyone have a wedding playlist online I can look at for music recommendation? I know music is important but like in my quince I just had to give a playlist of like 10 songs and the DJ figured out the rest and it was amazing so not sure why I have to do every song that is going to be played for the wedding.

Pilates normally fills me with joy. I left this class sad. After nearly 2 years of Pilates in a beginner leaning intermediate class, my instructor told me she thinks I should go back to the beginner beginner class to work on my form.

She told me that I’ve improved greatly through the years she’s taught me and my form is not bad but she sees me struggle sometimes and thinks a less fast paced class might help me perfect form.

I plan to ask her what’s wrong with my form next class so I can see what I need to improve but
Im so confused. And sad. When I started Pilates, I struggled with almost everything and was behind. She used to correct me all the time. Now I keep pace on most exercises with the rest of the class even though it’s challenging. She rarely corrects me now and I feel better and stronger. I can actually hold a plank for a little bit etc. there are some exercises i do now that I couldn’t do before and there are others I still sit out or struggle with because of an old injury so I pace myself and pay attention to what my body can do.

But I’m so confused. Why would she wait nearly 2 years to tell me she thinks I need the basic class? And if my form is bad why does she rarely correct me? It doesn’t make sense especially when another instructor at the same studio several months ago congratulated me on my improvements.

I just feel a bit defeated. I’ve been rushing from work to class. I’ve been exercising at home. I thought I was getting better and what’s worse the class she’s asking me to do I can’t because of work scheduling so she’s like it’s ok keep coming to this one then but idk.

Has this happened to anyone? How did you improve form? I want to get better.
