Today's question is regarding a topic that has been on my mind a lot lately. Are you or did you spend extra time on your self maintenance in preparation of your big day?
I for one have been making extra visits to the dermatologist to get my skin in its best shape, facials, teeth whitening, eating extra healthy and exercising to get my body in the best shape possible. Getting married is exhausting! lol

Re: ~~ QOD June 7th ~~
I started healthy eating and some exercise about 1 year out so as not to shock my body!! LOL I have on my to-do list to start tanning about 3 months out. I have not cut my hair in 2 years trying to grow it out. I loved my short hair but I guess it's the price we pay for long locks on our day! That's all I can think of for now....

Good one! I too have been growing out my hair for two years. I am definetly going to have to start airbrush tanning prior to the wedding.

Yes, I've been getting facials, trimming the ends of my hair to make sure no split ends, getting eyebrows threaded, and gonna do airbrush tanning as well oh and teeth whitened...this prep thing does get expensive ladies!!!
Anyway do you ladies recommend going tanning more than once before the wedding even if it's airbrushed?

If you go the airbrush route I would go for a trial way before hand so you see the full results. When I've done it in the past, I only did it a day or 2 before the event and only went once. Although I do not like tanning booths, for the wedding I will, just for the real tan look. I don't want to be too tan so I will start a few months out and only go once a week. If you go fake tanning I would suggest spreading it out and not going to close to the wedding day. You want to be tan not red. HTH

I made sure to start tanning 3 months from the wedding. I did a teeth whitening. Let my hair grow out. Went to get my eyebrows threaded regularly to get a nice shape.

Re: ~~ QOD June 7th ~~
I wanted to do so much more than I did, but, I did get my eyebrows threaded for the first time...which I now LOVE, and also went tanning. Had all intentions of losing weight and exercising more. I did lose about 10 lbs around Xmas time, but as it got closer to the wedding I was just too stressed....and then those girl scout cookies came around...
In all seriousness, it is alot of work beforehand for us ladies! Men do not realize the pressure!

I tried to workout, but that never really happened. I got waxed, had my nails done, lotioned all the time, use lots of teeth whitening products.

I've been eating healthy and exercising (which I try to do normally, anyway) and trying to take better care of my skin...but that had the reverse effect. My facials dried my skin out, so I stopped doing that. Otherwise, everything is as it usually is!

I've always been active, but definitely stepping up the working out and eating better as it gets closer. I've been growing my hair out but getting it colored more often and cut regularly to clean it up. Doing laser hair removal and just bought the extra whitening toothpaste today. Since it's been such nice weather, FH and I have been laying in the sun too so I won't be pale in Sept!

Re: ~~ QOD June 7th ~~
I get facials every 2 months (but always have), thinking of teeth whitening. I've always worked out, but trying to do it more often. I've considered getting those eye lashes that last 2 weeks, but not sure yet.
