what should I be doing to take care of my hair, nails, skin, and feet!
I have never been the type to spend a lot of time, money, or energy on my hair, nails, skin etc. I mean, I would occasionally get a mani/pedi and I cut my hair, but I don't do any special treatments.
I want to look my absolute best for the wedding, so I am trying to start from now getting myself prepared...what are you girls doing.
I have normal/dry facial skin, and my hair is fairly straight and not processed in any way.

Facial once per month, manicures once per week, pedicures once per month. and a trim every six weeks!

I am going to try and do a facial atleast twice before the big day. I do my hair every two weeks. And mani and pedi i do every month at the nail salon. I also do a mani and pedi by myself.

For nice looking feeties: before I go to sleep - I use deep moisturizing lotion on my feet, slather it on and then put on moisture socks. Makes them nice and open toe shoe ready. You could do the same for your hands too.
ETA: for my face I always use Burts Bee's tomato toner and carrot night cream before bed. It keeps skin moisturized, and glowing. I love that stuff.

im going every month to get my eyebrows done, thats really the only thing special. i don't pay much attention to my nails, but the girls at my salon recommended i come in once a week for the month before the wedding.

That's been my plan for the past few months and plan to continue up to the big day! The facials have really helped my skin, I see a big difference. The nails are another story.

thanks ladies...
I've NEVER EVER even plucked on hair from my eyebrows, so needless to say I've never had them done. I guess maybe I could do that, but now I am so afraid something will go wrong so close to the wedding.
Laurie, I have the world's ugliest feet I think so I will definitely try that (LONG toes )

You do have nice skin, so I dont think it is necessary to get a facial...I would just get pampered...maybe go for a nice massage/skin treatment and start getting regular manicure/pedicure...I would also start tanning now...just so that you can maintain it once a week right before your wedding (you wont have that much time to spare)...

Just as a side note for those getting facials - the last one really should be one month before your wedding, the latest, just to ensure that you have no adverse reaction that can't be cleared up in time.

Hair/Hands/Feet - nothing, get a mani/pedi/haircut before the wedding and they'll be good as new. No need to spend money now on it.
Skin - start doing facials w/a glyco peel once per month. I started going to the mario badescu salon on 52nd btw 1st and 2nd last month, and going once a month until the wedding. it's dramatically changed my skin and they're very INEXPENSIVE.

I just made sure I washed my face at night before bed and used a good moisturizer.
As for hands, nails, feet, LOTION!!! I love lotion and feel you can never lotion enough. I had my nails wrapped last week as they started to break. I want my nails to look nice, but not be too long. Once the wedding is over, I'll remove the wrap.

not sure if I can do a peel, since i have mild rosacea, but I just went on to Badescu's website, THAT is a definitely possibility.
Sylvia, I hope you mean self tanning LOL- I would NEVER tan on a tanning bed (skin cancer runs in my family, so I am VERY careful! )

The facialist will let you know whether or not you need it - I'm sure you won't b/c I've seen your skin and it's flawless!
If you want to pair up for the facials at Mario's - let me know!!!
