Looking your best on your special day

Feeling and looking good on your special day is important to every bride.  Here are some helpful tips you can do to ensure you are looking your best on a day that will forever live in your memories.

1. Drink plenty of water.  Forget the fizzy, sugary drinks.  Replace them with water, water, water.  Did you know that hunger can be a sign of thirst.  It may be helpful to keep a bottle of water nearby and try to drink atleast 2 litres of water per day.

2. Eat regularly.  We often hear of people going on crazy fad diets in the event they will shed kilos quickly.  Ensuring you eat a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner is important, but so too are the healthy snacks in between these main meals like nuts, fruits and vegetables.

3.  Get active.  I’m not talking about running a marathon, but ensure you get out and get physically active everyday.  A brisk walk is a great place to start.

4.  Avoid or limit your temptations.  You know your temptations, whether it is chocolate, cakes or biscuits.  Be kind to yourself and avoid or limit your access to them.  A great place to start is to clear out the pantry of any temptations and avoid these aisles when shopping.

5.  Get plenty of sleep.  Planning a wedding on top of your already busy life can be hectic.  Be sure to get plenty of sleep to ensure you can stay on top of your game and avoid the need for that sugary hit for short term energy gain.

6.  Treat yourself.  By this I mean treat your hair and skin.  You may consider facial and hair treatments to ensure your hair and skin are glowing for your special day.

Looking and feeling your best is about making informed decisions.  You don’t have to sacrifice everything, it’s all about moderation.
