Is this a paper wasp or mud dauber? Found in my window making tons of noise. Nest is new so I’m assuming it’s the same flying creature. Charlotte, NC.

Has anyone ever experienced issues at Palm Beach Tan with the four position versa spa pro? I had been using the other machine w/ 2 positions. You have to pay for a bunch of additives (rapid enhance, extra colors so that it doesn’t turn out orange, clear coating so it stays, etc.) which they call “the kit” in addition to your spray tan cost or membership fee. You have to pay $17-23 each time for this kit. One time I went, the two position machine was broken and so they said I could use the four position machine. This was news to me. I did not have any awareness that was in my membership. The four position was much better, and there was no expensive add-ons. Recently, I’ve been doing the four position versa spa pro and it’s incredibly light. The first time I thought I was making it up, but I just had my third spray tan with that machine and I even moved from medium to dark and it still looks like I barely got any coverage. I’m wondering if they’re putting the light mixture in the dark compartment so that people think somethings wrong and go back to the expensive machine… Has anyone ever had issues at Palm Beach Tan or what the versa spa pro all of a sudden not showing up after it’s been working for months? Part of me is thinking this is intentional because when you do your tour for the membership, they don’t advertise the versa spa pro, they only advertise the other one with the expensive add-ons so it seems like they don’t want you to know you don’t have to pay for all the extra stuff…
I want to get a second dress for the last couple hours of dancing. My main dress is a Galia Lahav and it is enormous so I think having a bustle will not be enough and I want to change into a beaded mini.
Here are the designers I’m looking at, does anybody have any recommendations? It seems like there is a niche market that does very intricately embellished minis. Bonus points if I can’t rent it on pickle, sell it on Poshmark or buy it used but not a deal breaker!
Mid range (under $1000):
Bronx and banco
Nadine merabi
MacDuggal
Upper range ($1,000 - $2,000)
Galia Lahav
Rosie Etienne
Cleo Peppiatt
High (2,000+)
Rachel Gilbert
I fell in love with a Mira Zwillinger dress but the more I slept on it the less into it I was. Retails for around $15,000. Then I put on the Jenny Yoo Ezra dress and I actually like the neckline better on it with the big scoop versus the sweetheart on the MZ, but the fabric is definitely not as good. There’s something about Mira Zwillinger dresses that really catch the light, and I love the unlined bodice. However, I’m wondering if that’s worth a $10,000 difference? The Jenny Yoo Ezra address is $5,000. If I go w the cheaper option will consider getting a second look. Girl math. Help, thoughts?!
