SELF CARE : BEAUTY

self care

date posted: March 15, 2020

It’s your day, ladies and gents. You want to look gorgeous. Not only will all eyes be on you, but you’re going to be immortalized in dozens of photos and maybe even star in a video or two.

Whatever your approach, give yourself an edge by taking a little extra care during the month before.

What you don’t want is to feel that you need to be constantly fussing with yourself to keep The Look the way you want it. You have more important things to do, like get married and feast and dance and hug people.

If you feel beautiful, you will look beautiful, whether you choose to skip makeup entirely and wear your hair down or hire a makeup artist to spend 90 minutes transforming you into a Hollywood vision of drop-dead glamour. (And, honestly, how many days in life justify that?)

You’re equally safe with a relaxed approach. Natural beauty never goes out of style, after all. The glow of love and excitement and “Finally, it’s actually real!” will take you a long way. If the thought of long nails and multiple cosmetics makes you cringe, you don’t owe it to any living soul to be cringing all day.

It’s a spectrum, not an either/or. Do you. But whatever your approach, give yourself an edge by taking a little extra care during the month before: get enough sleep on the nights when there’s no party; hydrate, meditate. For that all-out natural glow, consider hitting the spa a day or two before and getting wonderful pampering from experts. Hit the flotation tank for an hour. Go for a walk. You’re gonna be gorgeous.
