10 weeks until my wedding. Need to get photo ready!

DP and I are getting married soon and I have about 10 weeks to get relatively groomed and glowing. I look ok, considering I have a sleep hating toddler but it has been a while since I've looked properly glam.
Any tips for beauty, diet, exercise that will help me feel photo ready?

Lots of water and fresh air!

Good advice, Wish.

Other than that, I had about four hours sleep before my wedding and did an egg white facial on the morning. I do NOT recommend doing it for the first time on your wedding day, as I did Grin but it worked astonishingly well! An odd temporary (day long) tightening effect. Try it soon, and see what you think. (Whisk a fresh egg white with the juice of half a lemon, paint onto your face in layers, leave it to dry - about fifteen minutes. Wash off gently with warm water and behold the miracle Smile)

This is what makes me feel more groomed and glam -
Body brushing, plus loads of body moisturiser after bath/shower, cheapo is fine
Mani and pedi - at home if you can't afford professional
Get eyelashes tinted and eyebrows threaded
Spray tan

2 smoothies / juices with lots of greenery every single day has given me a much nicer glow, more than any product ever has, but it only appeared after about 3 weeks of drinking spinach and the like. Thats possibly because the previous diet on which my skin was built was so crap! But I did find it was worth persevering.

Great advice here thanks. I am eating lots of veg and making sure I have plenty of water and fresh air.
Will get a body brush and get my nails in order!
