Well, first of all you have to give us more details...type of event, vital statistics and ex details!

Helium, start drinking more water. Nothing brightens your skin more than being properly hydrated. Agree with isthat, more details needed.

Eat five ten a day, religiously - it will make your skin glow!

Exfoliate and moisturise every cm2 of your body every day.

Book a beautician for a full wax/pedicure/manicure the day before right now.

OK, what is your budget?

  • can you afford a professional blowdry? Should be about £20.
  • drink more water
  • walk more - exercise great for giving a glow
  • exfoliate then use one of those gradual tans for a few days before the event

Get so drunk your reflection is a blur.

Works for me.

lol - not an ex - but actually another woman!! (And to be honest I'd have to name change to give you full details - let's just say/admit that I feel threatened by her presence.) Event is a works picnic. Budget is healthy. I want to look glowing/vibrant/intelligent/not too dowdy housewifey or run of the mill/interesting. Not sure all of this comes from a bottle (if only!) so any hints and tips you have all gratefully receieved!!
Water - of course great idea thanks.
Having roots done the day before so will get a trim and dry then.
Most self concious about my stomach.

healthy budget - brilliant!

-get a professional blowdry when you get roots done.

-you could get a (light!) spray tan?

-if not happy with stomach, draping is the answer. this sort of thing
