I'm getting down the final fit. What do you guys think? A lot of you said remove the pearl belt so I did. The first picture is with the detachable skirt and the second picture is without. I'm taking the skirt off after ceremony.
I went to my makeup wedding trial. I'm looking for opinions or advice on it. I went into it asking for full glam, full coverage, and a snatched look. I wanted a glowy bronzy finish. After I finished the trial I realized I don't think I liked it as much. It looks good from far away but up close it looked pretty bad. The makeup seemed glowy and smooth from far but looked cakey, dry, and started to crease under the eyes, around lips, and frown lines. I exfoliated my face 2 days ago. I don't really have any issues with dry or oily skin. I have a pretty good skincare routine as well. I also don't know if the eyeshadow looks too dark for my liking. I am not used to wearing this much makeup but i do wear medium coverage normally. What are yall's thoughts?

What's something that motivates you to get your day started? I'm struggling with waking up and getting stuff done around the house. I want to be more active during the day. I usually wake up, make my husband breakfast before he leaves for work. My 2 year old usually wakes up with us. I then make my toddler breakfast eat with him and end up being lazy on the couch until his nap time. I want to try to start waking up before my husband and toddler to actually put myself together for the day but I struggle with waking up early. Any advice?
I'm feeling very discouraged. I've come here because I just genuinely need advice because I feel like I have given my all and it's still not enough. This may be long so sorry in advance. I have an 11 year old son who was diagnosed with ADHD. I love him with all my heart but he is so unpleasnt to deal with. His behavior started worsening around 3rd grade. He gets in trouble at school alot and does not really do well listening at home either. I've tried routines, taking away things, even tried to see if an allowance would work but nothing. He doesn't express his feelings. I would ask every morning how do you feel today or after school i would ask questions about school he would just say "idk". He plays baseball. He never wants to go out and do anything (store, out to eat, even lately things he used to enjoy). He has a 2 year old brother who he plays very well with. He does like gaming and i fear he does have an addiction to his devices. The routine has been the devices are gone after a certain time and he is in bed at a certain time. He thinks my rules are "so stupid". It seems like he is never satisfied. For example: I bought him 4 different mattresses in the span of 3 years because they are always "uncomfortable" or I bought him a laptop very expensive perfect for gaming and now he is starting to say it's not good anymore he wants better. He has no emotions and every time I try to talk to him about these things he just doesn't communicate back or just says ok. I should add that me and his dad are no longer together. We've been separated for almost 4 years now. His dads house is completely different than mine. His dad is also a gamer and very well addicted. He has bad eating habits and very lazy overall. He stays there 3 times a week. He seems to enjoy it over there more than with me. I'm assuming it's because of the eating out everyday and he has absolutely no structure or routine over there. He goes to bed super late and even some times he tells me he didn't go to bed at all because he is on the computer all night. The routine will never be consistent because of the habits over there. But I try my best to make sure routine stays in my house. I have taken my son to the doctor for his adhd and behavioral problems. He is in behavioral therapy and does take a very low dose of adhd medication only when he's in school. Everything is just boring to him nowadays and it seems like nothing excites him anymore. I feel like he thinks I'm the bad parent because of my rules and routines but it's only to make sure he lives a healthier and better lifestyle. I do feel like the older he gets the more immature he gets. He acts very "silly" and does things out of impulse. He destroys things in my house and when i tell him not to do it he always has an excuse of why it's "ok" to destroy things like "it's not going to break" or "i don't use it anymore". Anytime i try to talk to him about his behavior he just doesn't take it serious. There's so much more I can go on about but this is a glimpse of what I'm dealing with. Any advice would be appreciated and helpful.
Which hairstyle do you think looks better? Having a summer wedding. Outside ceremony. indoor reception. At a vineyard. My dress has a cat eye neckline I'm also wearing a pearl choker and pearl dangle earrings. Putting my hair all up is not an option. I'm not a fan of buns. I also have waist length hair if that helps. I go to my hair trial in a couple of days and confused with what I want.
Mood stabilizers/antidepressants
So I've been going back and forth trying to decide if I want to get on a mood stabilizer. I really try to make it through without medication but it seems like it has become unbearable to deal with. My doctor recommended me fluexotine, sertaline, or wellbutrin. Those are not all the options just some. A little background on me. I have hashimotos/hypothroidism. I've always been moody and irritable but lately it seems to have taken over my life. I have zero energy and motivation to do simple tasks. I've been stressing ALOT. I Can't seem to relax and nothing excites me at the moment. I've been waking up extremely moody and mad for no reason. I get very irritable that any noise or annoyance irritates me. I do notice I slightly rage sometimes (slam a door, or raise my voice to yell). I do isolate myself when I feel like this and don't want to see or talk to anybody. Does anyone have any suggestions/ advice. Has anyone like this taken a mood stabilizer and it actually help. Please let me know!

Has anybody else experienced feeling like no matter how much details you give the florist/seamtress/ wedding planners at the venue, etc.. that it's still not making you feel satisfied with what you want for your wedding? I'll say some examples.
Example 1: I feel like I've sent the florist a whole bunch of inspiration pictures of what flowers and how I want things set up but I feel like she just says okay to everything instead of reassuring me that we can do it in specific ways I want it.
Example 2: I'm really into the modern wedding looks (draping, lots of flowers, lots of candles, timeless, elegance). when i explain to the venue wedding planners about how I want my tables draped extra long flowy look, or adding little details and touches to make the wedding feel more "me" they act like they don't know how to drape the tablecloth or tell me I have to get my own and have someone do it. It's just really frustrating.
Example 3: I bought a dress that is currently getting altered right now. I want to add specific details to my dress (add tiny pearls and shine to the top, add a lace border to the top of the back etc.. just little details here and there and I just get told I don't know right now and we will just have to talk about it at your fitting.
I just feel like nobody cares and as much money as I'm spending I feel like I want these people to care or have at least some emotion. Am I being a bridezilla or am I valid? I'm 3 months out from my wedding and I just feel like I'm the only one going crazy and actually cares.
I'm trying not to regret my dress choice. Need help figuring out what I should do. My dress is not returnable . I envisioned myself in an all sparkled up lace dress. Kinda upset with myself that I didn't explore more options. I did love this dress but now wondering what I can add to make it more glam/lace it up. My dress is currently being altered and wondering if anybody has any ideas i could tell my seamstress to add to my dress. I love pearls, lace, and sparkle.
So far I have the of the shoulder sleeves and the Chantilly lace sleeves. I have the pearl strand belt, and a pearl necklace. I have the cathedral lace veil. I have the detachable skirt as well.
