    Just sat here thinking of all the things I would like to have sorted and done before the wedding next year...if money allows. So made a list of all my wants and must have health and beauty plans. Would love to know what other ladies have planned in the run up to their wedding?
    Mine are
    Health
    Tooth bridge so I dont have a gap on the photos! And a veneer on a front tooth.
    IPL cold laser treatment on a stubborn cellulite area (above my stomach since pregnancy)
    Beauty
    Hair - Highlights and lowlights and a course of conditioning treatments a month or so before
    Skin some form of fake tanning and legs etc waxed
    Pedicaure/manicures more often in the run up
    Would also love to try one of those inch loss wrap thingys.
    Would love a chill out spa day the week before the wedding if time and money allows.

    All fairly normal stuff. Anyone doing anything a little more adventurous, like cosmetic surgery or non surgical of any type? xxx

    was beginning to think along the same lines today. nothing drastic for me dont have the funds

    definately hair colour a couple of weeks before.
    considering fake tan as not wearing a long dress as registry office and i have legs as white as milk bottles.

    think i might like to go for one of the fish pedicures that have become so popular, possibly a good plan for a girly fun thing to do with my daughter

    am going to start eating healthily as from monday, will never be slim but a few dress sizes lost would be a help

    I'm just going along the lines of some new make up which I need anyway and having my hair done. It would be nice to get some weight off but I want to look like me on my wedding day.

    I have a bad back at the moment so when better I need to get to the gym and tone my muscles up a bit. Hopefully that will sort out my wobbly bits lol ;) I've started going to the hairdressers to get my hair in decent condition. Would love to do the spa thing maybe as part of a hen weekend ?

    Well I'll admit to not being the most girly girl in the world! I never use moisturiser or even wear make-up so a couple weeks ago I decided I must start taking better care of myself so I look as good as possible next year!
    So I've started using body scrub in the shower, facial cleanser, pore minimiser and moisturiser for my face! Other than that I'm just going to get my hair and nails done for the wedding, will probably do my own make-up because whenever I wear it at the moment its really subtle and I want to look like me on the day! I won't be having a spray tan or anything because I've always been pale and I think I'll be self conscious if I'm suddenly a different colour! lol

    My plans are
    Nails
    Fake Tan
    Hair cut and highlighted
    Toe Nails painted
    Waxing full works (if i can cope with the pain lol)
    Lashes

    Has anyone got any advice on keeping your skin looking great??
    I have skin that still thinks its a teenager and I am therefore prone to breakouts which would look awful on the photo's as concealer tends to make spots look worse IMO... this is my worst fear! lol xx

    With 123 days to go, my regime has started!
    Friday I had a full head of highlights done and I've been really rigerous since Xmas about having my hair trimmed every 6 weeks.
    Got half head of highlights booked in for 7 weeks time and then 7 weeks after that it's a full head, just a couple of days before we fly out to Vegas. Also been using mayo on my hair once a week as it's really good for it (if you can get over the grossness!)
    I can't use a lot of moisurisers as I have really sensitive skin, so have been using aloe vera gel twice a day for a few months now and have really noticed by skin being more moisturised.
    I've been doing manicures on my nails ever week/two weeks to keep them in tip top condition (don't want fake one onmy wedding day) and will have a prof manicure the day before in Vegas.
    Had my eyebrows threaded a couple of months ago so now I'm just up-keeping the shape by plucking myself - will see how this goes but may have another threading session a week before or so.
    Will prob get a bikini wax done but will continue shaving my legs.
    I'll be getting a couple of very short sunbed sessions in before we fly out as I'm very sensitive to the sun and want to try to get my body used to the effects of the sun so I don't look like a lobster!
    And I think that's it!

    My skincare regime began before we even got engaged. I switched over to Elemis cleanser, toner, moisturiser and serums and get facials (with massages) as often as I can (I have five vouchers at the moment but haven't been able to go in because I've been ill).

    I'm not planning any major hair colour changes, although I might go a shade or two darker for extra drama, and I don't do fake tan (if I could go paler I would).

    The week before the wedding I'll have a Brazilian bikini wax (probably a full week before to let it settle), eyebrow threading, a Gelish/Shellac manicure and pedicure, eyelash extensions and possibly a full body massage a day or two before. I'm also contemplating a colonic as when I'm stressed my IBS can play up something chronic.

    The main change I need to make is to remember to moisturise my body more often. I'm great at looking after my face but I'm rubbish at looking after the skin on my body.

    Im the same SS Im very good at skincare regime on my face not so good at body. I use cocoa butter when I remember as its the best thing I have ever used and makes my stretch marks much better looking and I have really temperamental skin that doesnt like things some times and it actually helps with any break outs.

    My regime is
    Hair colour to cover the grey about a week before
    Nails done a couple of days before
    False eyelashes
    Im contemplating going to the dreaded sunbeds this week as I always look better with a bit of a tan.
    I do my eyebrows everyday as they grow so very fast.
    I will be having a few face masks between now and then.
    I have just bought a load of bare minerals make up as its really good and my skin doesnt react to it.
    I would love a spa session but money and time dont allow for such a luxury.

    I'm now panicking because I'm getting lots of spots... I've stated using moisturiser that helps reduce spots but its making very little difference although today I've got loads!!! What is going on?!! I dont have time for spots!!!
    My routine for the day is hide the spots!!!
    up until then try to get rid of them, moisturiser on my legs etc... try not to get tan lines/get rid of lines I already have!

    I've tried garnier pure active, witch and clean and clear moisturisers. I've got spots since I changed my pill but they've just got much worse this week. I use a johnsons cleanser in the morning and clean and clear in the evening. They're on my chin and forehead usually but I've got some at the side of my nose :(

    I find if I use the spot moisturisers my skin gets worse! I use clinique soap, clarifying lotion and moisturiser plus only use bare mineral makeup and my skin is far better than if I use clean and clear etc. Oh also freederm gel is good for the odd spot xx

    I'm pretty happy with my skincare routine, which I've been doing since December now. And I've managed to stop biting all but my thumbs, and stopping them now so my nails should be natural and lovely on the day!

    I'd like to have my teeth whitened before the day sometime and also planning on having my eyebrows done. And I know it's not advised but I want to have my hair dyed the day before the wedding, I love the way my hair is when it's freshly coloured! I'm also going to be very good about keeping on top of my hair... I recently had about 8 inches taken off because I hadn't had it done since September and I had SO many split ends!

    I'm starting yoga soon so I can do some kind of gentle exercise... that's all I can think of, but there's probably loads I've forgotten!
