Look fabulous in a week

I would like to look fabulous for Friday and I just caught sight of myself and I definitely don't! I look bloated and tired. I plan to go low carb but is there any other fun tips? I do 15k steps a day but eat 1/3 olive loaf from the Coop each day too which might be contributing to this weight. It's first on the list to go....

No olive loaf or any bread at all.
Gradual fake tan.
Pampering face products.
Body scrub.
Drink plenty water.
Eye brightening drops.

Helpstopthepain · 20/11/2021 20:24

Lots of water
Hair cut and colour
Nails and toes done
Exfoliate
Moisturiser all over

NotwatchingSpooks · 20/11/2021 20:28

Hair and nails, always give me a lift, so could you get a blow dry and have your nails done.
Eye brows make a huge difference, could you get them shaped and get some eyebrow gel etc
Makeup, could you have a makeup revamp, new foundation, lipstick etc

Bunce1 · 20/11/2021 20:28

2 litres of water every day

OK peeps, I'm not doing bread, ordered cauliflower rice for my meals, will get nails done this week and a blow dry. Will force the 2L thing too. Any other tips?

A hygienist appointment to give you teeth a good sparkling polish?

What’s happening on Friday?!

thisplaceisweird · 20/11/2021 21:02

Fake tan drops for your face at night, tanluxe do great ones

Creepypastard · 20/11/2021 21:05

I'm doing this with you OP!

OK, where do I get sheet masks....🤔

TinyTroubleMaker · 20/11/2021 21:11

I'm in! My skin is bloody awful, could do with the 2l water for starters

Eesha · 20/11/2021 21:11

@Sammysquiz a date with someone I might actually like! So worth pulling out the stops! My teeth are really white anyway but I'll pay special attention this week.

Sounds exciting OP!
I'm in for the kick up the backside.

Helpstopthepain · 20/11/2021 22:45

Very exciting @Eesha!
I’m on a mission after reading this! I’ve done a face mask, exfoliated, tanned, manicure and done my eyebrows!

Although I’m drinking wine Grin maybe no alcohol from tomorrow!

Takenoprisoner · 20/11/2021 23:11

Also,

Green tea, at least 3 cups a day
Supplements, I'm taking the boots gut health one, live bacteria one, meant to be an excellent all rounder, gut, skin etc

Takenoprisoner · 20/11/2021 23:13

Of the back of this, I've done a aha bha peel today, from the ordinary and vitamin c mask

Pick your outfit and accessories out in advance - what you'll be wearing, clothes, shoes, jewellery, makeup - try it all on together and have it ready so you are not worrying about small details at the last minute and know that you'll look good and feel confident.

VanCleefArpels · 20/11/2021 23:26

Blow dry, gradual tan, and most of all confidence. The latter will add to your attractiveness!

Ichangedmynameonce · 20/11/2021 23:26

Sammysquiz · 21/11/2021 07:08

Good luck, hope it goes well! Have you picked out your outfit?

SpeckledyHen · 21/11/2021 07:49

Make sure you wear a colour next to your face that suits you.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 21/11/2021 07:50

Don't put anything new on your face the night before in case it doesn't agree with your skin!

Eesha · 21/11/2021 08:03

@SpeckledyHen totally right, I veer from dark colours which are slimming to bright colours which suit my skintone.

@Sammysquiz at the moment it's a long sleeved red floral print minidress, potentially with flat ankle boots and a long camel coat. Debating long flat boots.

My last date cancelled the night before, after I'd wasted money on a blow dry so I'm really hoping this isn't a waste!
