Prep for a big day

[StyleManual]

My husband is away with work - it'll be 6 months in all. While he's been away I've done loads of exercise and lost a stone so I feel really happy with my weight. It turns out though that being thin isn't the be all and end all as I still look like me...but thinner! Anyway I want to look amazing when he gets home (flight arrives early morning, so can't glam up!). So lovely ladies of style & beauty, tell me what I can do to look tip top for his return (both for clothes on & clothes off!) I've been so busy while he's been away I haven't been paying attention to my appearance, so I'm looking forward to making myself lovely!

oooh, I LOVE the prep!

I would have a light spray tan about 2/3 days before he's back - this gives it time to settle (IME) and leaves a lovely glow.

Get your eyebrows/nails/waxing done in one session - Gel or Shellac are great for lasting colour - get a pretty pale shade and you won't stop admiring them (if you're like me)

hair cut?

well done on losing the weight, btw, that's brilliant

Cool. So tan say 2 days before. When should I get waxing done? Would the day before the tan be ok? I've never had a spray tan.
Will deffo get hair cut, probably do that the day before.
Not sure what to wear for the airport. Want to look casual, but hot...if that's possible when you're average looking!

Do a nice egg yolk/oil mask on your hair.

Get a rich moisturiser and use it every day, your skin will be lovely soft for his return.

Good job on the weight loss! Well done

Gets som nice new underwear - when I wear new undies I always feel fab irrespective of what I have on the top

God - I'd leave the underwear and go with no knickers but that's me

Well done on the weight loss and how exciting!

Agree with spray tan and waxing - I'd go for a brazilian personally [hides from some mn'ers]

Always think a dress is best in these situations as hints at ahem easy access.

Yep, Brazilian definitely!
New undies - good idea.
Need to get my nails grown a bit as they're quite horrid and short. I feel so much better and even more confident when my nails look nice.

MrsBlack - ha I like your style. Bet MrBlack loves going away if that's how you welcome him back!
