Prepping the Bride

I've spent so many weeks (and months) preparing everything for the wedding that this weekend was finally some time to prep myself. I spent my Saturday getting a much needed facial and my hair done. With only 4 weeks to go, I figured that a facial would be good at this point so my skin will be nice and clear for the wedding day.

To demonstrate my reasoning, here's a pic of what I look like now, after having a deep cleansing facial (with extractions):

(A super red, and unflattering Miss Hydrangea)

Usually a facial, for me, means that my face will break out a bit the week after but then is super clear and healthy. The woman who did my facial said it was best for me to do a scrub on my face 2-3 times a week from now until the wedding to rejuvenate my skin and get rid of any dead/dry skin. It made me realize how much I'd been neglecting my poor face!

My hair is naturally dark brown, but every few months I go in to get it colored one solid dark brown. It's super dark at first but after a few weeks it fades into the perfect color, so, after my facial, I headed off to get the hair dyed and trimmed one last time before the wedding.

It was nice to be pampered for a bit (the facial included a foot and neck/upper back rub) and revive myself to finish up those last minute projects that I need to get done. Now, all I have left is a good eyebrow shaping and to get my nails done, which will wait until the week of the wedding.

How long are you all waiting to do your final beauty regime before the big day?
