Happy Pride Everyone

And I mean everyone 💕

Everyone out celebrating, everyone watching from home, my trans siblings, my bisexuals in “hetero” presenting relationships, my allies, the guy sat beside me in the chair-o-planes who complimented my hair,

Everyone! I hope we all had a lovely day and let’s keep the gorgeous community feeling going for the year.

Love you all 💕

Venues for a wedding

My fiancé and I just got engaged and are beginning to plan a wedding for Winter 2027. We’d like to do it in Dublin, ideally the city or near the city.

I was just wondering if anyone has standout experiences from any venues, as a guest or as the couple, that you would recommend?

We’re looking to do a very small civil ceremony and happy to do it in the same venue as the reception or have them separately. We initially wanted city hall but it’s fully booked for any of the dates we wanted for 2027 or 2028 so we’re open.

We’re looking at a small ceremony of about 25-40 people followed by a reception of about 100 people for dinner and drinks and a dance. Our priorities would be food quality and venue aesthetics for photos (we’re open to anything but don’t really want anything tacky like an outdated hotel carpet). Budget is about €120pp for the meal and about €2000 venue hire fee for a ceremony venue.

If anyone has any standout occasions I’d love to hear them!

Update to “Is getting my nails done for 9 days a waste”

Hey everyone! a few days ago I posted to ask if getting my nails done for a few days for a potential proposal would be a waste since I’d have to remove them before returning to work. https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditLaqueristas/s/QdA6x1nZAH

The response was so positive and kind and I’m so grateful for that! Me and my partner both got our first ever manicures - brilliant news since our week ended in a double proposal!

My nails are salon nails from a gel manicure with nail art. The nail tech applied a base gel, then the pink, then chrome powder to make the pink shine, then painted on silver shapes, then added chrome powder.

His nails are also salon gel cat eye nails using a light purple base and a gold glitter.

So grateful for everyone here who encouraged me and was so kind with their advice! I’m getting them removed today so I’m taking them to brunch to say farewell 💕

We’re engaged! Happy pride month!

We had a little double proposal on Thursday!
We decided to do budget (<€800) rings because we’re still early in our careers, and we’ll upgrade later!

My ring is a silver band and 0.5ct lab diamond, his is an antique 1840s 18kt rose gold with white sapphires.

We’re both obsessed with our rings and we’re so happy!

Just got a my first ever “nice” bag for almost a third of the price by shopping pre-loved

A little while ago I asked for advice for a low ish budget option for a first “nice” bag and got a lovely response. Someone recommended Le Tanneur’s Emilie and I was immediately in love with the shape. It was a bit above what I had saved (it was €530 brand new, I was looking to spend about €450) so I figured I’d just save a bit more. Then I just browsed Vestiaire to see if there were any available and the size and colour I wanted had just been posted. The seller let it go for €195!

The bag is in really good condition with some standard wear and tear e.g on the shoulder strap clasps and brand stamp - but the leather is beautiful and I’m just in love with the kind of boxy shape. For me it’s a gorgeous mix of a doctor’s bag and a shoulder bag.

The blue inner lining is also stunning and the bag fits everything I need (phone, card holder, keys, headphones, inhaler, lip balm) with plenty room for more if I wanted.

I’m so happy about this purchase and I’m so committed to saving again to purchase another gorgeous piece to expand the collection.

Rebecca Black’s new single, Speakerphone released today and it’s a banger!

Yes, THAT Rebecca Black, of viral video “Friday” fame. She’s gone real pop-electronic with her music. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her live twice and she is so fun, energetic and talented.

Music video on YouTube and the song is available to stream everywhere!

Is getting my nails done for 9 days a waste?

Hey there!

I can’t get my nails done as I work in healthcare. But I have 9 days off coming up (Friday - Monday) and I’m going away with my partner. I’m thinking there’s going to be a proposal and I’d like to have my nails done for it.

I’d have to have them removed on Sunday before work.

I’ve attached photos of the style I like.

I like the chrome like designs on a clear or natural nail. I’m unfamiliar with getting my nails done so I don’t even know what sort of polish it is or what I’d be booking.

I’m just wondering is it silly to get my nails done for such a short time? Will removing them so soon be possible? Will it damage my nails?

Sorry for questions that probably seem silly to you all, I’m totally clueless! Thank you for your help.

Does anyone else feel inspired by Slayyyter?

I’ve listened for a few years and I’ve always really enjoyed her music, but since WGIA I’ve become bso fond of her attitude and approach. I don’t know if it’s parasocial but I really think highly of her and the more I engage with her content (like interviews etc.) the more I inspired I feel.

I’ve always wanted to be more creative but never taken the time to do it, but hearing her talk about her creative processes and making her own outfits I just got the urge! A local drag queen hosted a Slayyyter night recently and I made my first ever wearable item! It was just a white T-shirt that I cropped with my sewing machine and painted the dollar sign logo on, but I was really delighted with myself. Idk. Random thoughts.

Help me choose a gift for my partner?

My partner’s 30th birthday is approaching and I want to get him a bottle of nice whiskey as part of his gift. Looking for an Irish whiskey at a price point of €250-€300 (Ireland prices?) for the bottle.

Here is his taste profile; he’s ranked most whiskeys he’s tried out of ten.

I’ve listed his taste profile as he scores most whiskeys he’s tried out of ten.

Any guidance highly appreciated. I was considering just getting the redbreast 18 year old?

Thanks a million
