And you were feeling a bit blah about your appearance. What would you prioritise tonight?

Outfit, shoes, bag sorted. Don't love it but it'll be fine. Not sure on accessories. Will probably tuck my hair tonight and release in the morning so it's loose waves.

What can I do for a little boost? Can't leave the house- DC asleep in bed!

good sleep, impeccable make-up, plus console yourself with the thought that even the most hot looking woman at the wedding will probably think she looks terrible.

Can you do a bit of fake tan if that's your thing? That always makes me feel better 😊. And tell yourself affirmations - fake it til you make it kind of situation. Enjoy the wedding x

Face mask? Paint nails?

long soak in the bath, body scrub and a face mask then paint my toe nails, even if they arent on show having painted toe nails always seems to make me feel better

Fake tan

leccybill · 28/04/2023 20:36

False tan, definitely.
Nail varnish is a good shout too.

I'd get an early night and drink some water. I was a mega bitch yesterday (mainly in my head though thankfully). Had an early night and felt like a new woman this morning.

Face mask
Exfoliate and moisturise whole body
Wax arms (that's probably a thing personal to me Blush)
Fake tan
Prick my beard...

Pluck! Not prick!

Ahh thank you all, some great ideas and reminders here!
I've done my eyebrows but forgot to check my chin, thank you for that @WoolyAndYug!
Hot bath and full body exfoliation done. Also rinsed my hair in cold water to maybe help with a bit of shine.
I'm okay at water but sleep is a big problem for me. I barely got any last night and it's probably contributing to my low mood today.
I'm not great at fake tan but only my arms are "on show" and they've still got a bit of colour- I'm not sure now is the right time to attempt anything more but moisturising is a good call. And I'll pick out a bright nail polish to perk it all up a bit.
Make up just isn't sitting nicely on my face at the moment, not sure if my skin has changed and I need different products- so fake it til I make it and affirmations might be the way forward.
It's a very "glam" crowd so I already feel like a fish out of water!
