Everyone wants to look and feel their best on their wedding day. You should look back on your treasured wedding photographs and feel confident and happy with the way that you looked. Fortunately, there are dozens of ways to enhance your looks and ensure that you are the best version of yourself on your special day. Here are four tips to look your best on your wedding day. 

1. Start an exercise routine early 

Most brides and grooms want to be in the best shape of their lives at their wedding. Your wedding fitness goal may be to lose a certain amount of weight, tone up, or build muscle mass. Your wedding provides you with an incentive to stick with an exercise routine and work towards your fitness goals. Exercise can be an effective way to improve your looks and confidence before your big day. However, you must keep in mind that changing your body shape through exercise takes time, and you won’t see instant results. According to Men’s Journal, you should ideally start an exercise program one year before your wedding day, particularly is you have ambition goals i.e., you want to lose several stones. That being said, it is possible to achieve good results in just a few months, especially when combined with a healthy, low-calorie diet. 

2. Invest in beauty treatments 

There is no better excuse to treat yourself to beauty treatments than when you’re preparing for your wedding. Many brides and grooms invest in beauty treatments to improve their appearance and help them look and feel their best on their big day. Some popular pre-wedding treatments include teeth whitening, Botox injection, laser hair removal, and body sculpting. You can also use beauty treatments to address specific body issues affecting your self-image. For instance, a hair transplant could treat hair loss and give you back your confidence. You can search online for more information on hair transplant costs, the process, and the benefits. It is always worth considering whether there are any beauty treatments that could enhance your looks and increase your confidence at your wedding celebration. 

3. Get your skin glowing 

Every bride wants to be able to show off radiant skin on their big day. Fortunately, everyone can improve their complexion and achieve glowing skin. Here are some tips to get your skin glowing before your wedding day:

• Eat skin-loving foods like avocados, oily fish, tomatoes, and walnuts. 
• Gently scrub your skin once a week to remove dead skin cells. 
• Have a professional spray tan to give your skin a healthy glow. 
• Apply a quality moisturizer daily to keep skin supple.
• Drink plenty of water.

4. Make time to relax

The last thing you want is to look stressed and tired on your wedding day. Planning a wedding is hard work, and you must take some time to relax and unwind. This is especially important as your big day approaches. Schedule an indulgent pamper day at the spa, take a break from wedding planning to catch up with friends, or simply spend some time relaxing with your partner at home.

It’s official. The last week in October is the week I get my Christmas on. I start planning events (a bit awkward this year I know), I start to make those lists that need checking twice, and I start to buy presents. I’m not a person who leaves things to the last minute, especially as my boy has his birthday the week before Santa makes that journey, so I need to take the time to plan the perfect gifts for the ones that I love.

This year I’ve already decided that wine can make a pretty impressive, gorgeous and certainly an enjoyable gift.It is a gift that is not just perfect for individuals, but works for couples too. It is something that can be enjoyed over the festive period, but doesn’t have to be used straight away, it could be saved to toast in the new year, or kept for another special occasion, and should only improve with age.

You can chose something that appeals to the taste buds if you are gifting a wine connoisseur, but can also buy something that offers a little education to someone who tends to just grab the nearest bottle in the supermarket. For instance, if the recipient is a fan of white wine, but tends to go for House White, or a bog standard supermarket brand, treat them to Ca’ di Rajo Pinot Grigio 2018 | Venezia DOC from Independent Wine. This is gorgeously light and citrusy with mango, peach and blossom.

What I really love about this wine is that you can enjoy it with a friend, or with the simplest of meals, things like fish or shellfish antipasti, like fried octopus or seafood salad. This is the perfect accompaniment to fish and chips, still served in the paper, with a side of mushy peas. The other great thing about choosing a wine from Independent Wine as a gift is that if you are sending it across the miles, you can chose to have it gift wrapped, and this is done for free. It looks beautiful, just adds the finishing to your thoughtful gift.

So if you are truly worried about what you are going to give to friends and relatives during this totally strange and unusual festive season, the answer is right here. Just say it with wine – but make sure it’s a good bottle!

With more lockdowns looming, there has been a lot of talk on social media about bringing Christmas forward this year to try to add some festive cheer to our lives. This has included decorating our homes earlier, getting those trees and lights into position to bring a little light and sparkle into our lives in these increasingly troubled times. People are also starting to get their Christmas presents a little earlier this year, being prepared in case we enter another lockdown.

The Wall Art

JR Decal has a stunning range of wall art, from the kind that you want to see permanently in your home, to Islamic Art that would fit beautifully into a Muslim home, to seasonal designs that could add that extra touch to your home at Christmas. Because they use a superior quality adhesive, the decals clasps the wall firmly forming a permanent bond but when the decal is detached, it is removed easily from the wall without any residues or a speck of damage neither on wall nor on decal. This means you can enjoy it all over the Christmas period, but remove it without mess once January begins.

If you don’t want a complete piece of wall art, or are buying a gift for someone else, you could instead opt for a print that can be both framed and unframed. Due to the flat design, this could be a lovely gift sent across the miles as it can be letterbox sized making it easy to send through the post to a loved one to let them know you are thinking about them.
