Is O/S setting spray enough to combat tears on a wedding day without ruining makeup? Or should I prepare to do anything extra?

My daughter is 4.5 years old and my fiancé has been consistently in her life since she was about 1.5 years old. Her biological father lives hours away, sees her maybe once a year, and doesn’t really call or check in unless his mom facilitates it during visits. Though, I’m not sure when/if he will move back.

My fiancé is basically the day to day father figure in her life however she doesn’t call him dad and has her own nickname for him. I also explain the concept of a stepparent to her in the best age appropriate way I can.

My family thinks it would be “wrong” for us/my daughter to get him a Father’s Day card or gift because he’s “not her real dad.” They also think he shouldn’t attend certain school events because they’re “family only,” even though he’s been a consistent part of her life for years.

Am I wrong for feeling like he is family and should be included/celebrated for the role he actually plays in her life?

My 4 year old has lived with my family basically her whole little life and we share a room after my divorce, so they’ve been a huge part of her daily routine and comfort. Later this year, I’ll be getting married and moving in with my fiancé (will be her stepdad) and we’ll be getting our own place. I’m excited, but also nervous because I know this will be a really big life change for her.

If anyone has gone through something similar, how did you help your little one adjust? Any tips for making the transition feel safe? I just want to support her the best I can through all of this.

Maybe I’m (33F) weak, but I’ve been back in the gym since March. Since then, I’ve been doing deadlifts with 95lbs and it still feels so heavy! I’m able to advance in other lifts but deadlifts.

Should I give it more time?

We’re doing a courthouse ceremony at 11:30 a.m., our photographer is booked from 11:20 a.m. to 1:20 p.m. and we're doing a lunch reception about 20–25 minutes away.

Plan right now is for guests (29 max) to head to the restaurant after the ceremony and family photos while we finish bride/groom photos, then we meet them there.

Does this flow make sense? Would it be awkward for guests to arrive before us? Also...should we book the restaurant for 1:30 or closer to 2?

Would love to hear what others did for similar timelines!

Hi all! I’m on Tretinoin and Azelaic acid. What’s a good milky toner I can find at Ulta?

Also open to moisturizing serums. Thank you!!!

Since starting tret almost 6 months ago, I randomly get these deep, painful pimples every once in awhile, usually just one at a time. Something I’ve never gotten before starting tret. Is this normal?
