Looking Good for your
Wedding
Every bride wants to look perfect on her
wedding day. From the hair and the flowers
to the dress and the shoes, she does her
best to be the most beautiful woman
possible. Part of looking perfect is the
skin, particularly in the face. You can have
gorgeous skin for your weeding day by
following a few simple steps.
The first step is to avoid doing anything
that will cause your face to break out right
before your wedding. Since stress is often a
factor in breakouts, try to stay calm, even
if that seems nearly difficult. Drinking
plenty of water will help keep the toxics
flushed out of your body so that zits won’t
be as likely to appear.
Also, eating healthy might seem an
impossibility in the week or so before the
wedding, but resist the urge to subsist on
Junk food alone. In face, this is when super
healthy food should be making up your diet.
Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables will
help keep your skin healthy and bright.
Some people might want to be cleansing their
skin as well before the wedding. This
doesn’t have to be a complicated routine,
simply washing with soap and water each
morning and every night is a good start.
Apply a moisturizer around the eyes and
mouth before you go to sleep or even over
your entire face if you have dry skin. And
don’t forget your hands, they need regular
moisturizing lotion as well.
Should in case zit or spot appear in the
first or second day before your wedding,
apply a zit-zapper like Clearasil to it
before you go to sleep and the appearance
should be greatly reduced by morning. You
will be able to cover it up with concealer
on your wedding day if you treat it early.
Give yourself a facial message every morning
when you wake up. Use the tips of your
fingers to gently message your face. This
promotes blood flow to the area and is a
good way to get that new bride glow! You may
also wish to do a firming facial mask a day
before the big event. Don’t do anything
drastic in the last week, like a chemical
peel, since the results may not be ready for
public display by the time you are walking
down the aisle.
10 Things to Avoid on a
First Date
1. Your Exes
Nobody wants to hear about who came before
them in a potential relationship. Keep the
ex talk to a solid zero. Ex talk can easily
makes a person feel compared to people that
shouldn’t matter anymore.
2. Your Experiences Online
Keep the business of dating to yourself. Do
not discuss your experiences dating online
or with matchmakers, etc. This keeps the
business of love out of the business of
love. It’s tempting, but don’t do it! By
talking about each other’s experiences
dating on line, you become friends comparing
notes not blossoming lovers.
3. Your Health Issues
No one wants to hear about your aches and
pains on a first date (or even a second,
third or fourth date). These are private
matters reserved for significant others who
are already in love. Don’t scare off a
potential mate just because your feet hurt.
4. Money
Financial issues or pluses are private. Keep
them to yourself. Talking about what you
have (or don’t have) can lead you wide open
for embarrassment or judgment.
5. Your Pets
I’m sorry, but talking about your pets is of
no interest to anyone but you. Accept it.
6. Religion
It’s true talk of religion usually leads to
antagonizing each other. Basic religious
values are fine to chat about, but digging
any deeper can ruin potential. Have beliefs
you share, but over-sharing too soon can
scare someone away.
7. Politics
Same as religion, talk of politics
especially when you belong to different
parties or camps, can be dangerous to a
promising relationship.
8. Business
Like money, talk of business can lead to a
business deal-not a love deal.
9. Your Kids
If you have them, talk about them, but not
too much. If your entire conversation
revolves around your children, your
potential mate will feel left out before
he’s even in.
10. Criticism of Your Date
The last thing you want to do on a first
date is pick apart the person who’s taking
you out. Keep that commentary to yourself
and zip it! Do you want them critiquing you?
