Get ready for your BIG day! |
One way to assure beauty on the wedding
day is to start a healthy exercise and beauty regimen in the
months before the wedding. The following tips will help you
get ready for your big day.
Join a Gym or Start Walking
You want to be in the best shape ever
for your new husband...so splurge a little and join a gym.
Get a personal trainer and get to work! If you just can't
afford to join a gym, get out and start walking. Get your
maid of honor to come along - but whatever you do get out
and get some exercise!
Drink A Lot of Water
Start drinking at least 8 glasses of
water a day. Yes, it sounds like a lot but its worth it. Water
flushes toxins out of your system - you can look forward to
clearer skin and better health. In addition, water helps you
feel full, so you may be inclined to eat less!
Get Regular Facials
General skin exfoliation provided by
good facials, removes dead skin cells from your face and makes
your skin glow. Choose a good salon and start getting facials
every 5 weeks from now until the wedding day. (Do not get
a facial on the wedding day though - your skin may appear
abnormally flushed.)
Get Regular Manicures
Regular manicures help to keep your
hands and fingernails in good condition. Ask about exfoliation
treatments for your hands as well. Hand exfoliation treatments
leave the skin smooth and beautiful.
Book a Stylist and Makeup Artist
Book a hairstylist and makeup artist
for your wedding day. Be sure to do this a couple of months
in advance and go in for a trial run a couple of weeks before
the wedding.
Get Your Hair Cut and Colored
Weeks Before the Wedding
Have your hair cut and colored two to
three weeks before the wedding. To avoid the new cut and color
look (as well as added stress), have your hair cut and/or
colored a couple of weeks before the wedding.
Schedule
a Pedicure
Schedule
a pedicure for the day before the wedding. This is important
whether you are going on a tropical honeymoon or not. You
want your feet to look nice for your husband and a good pedicure
can do just that. Your feet will be smooth, clean and polished!
