You know those S&B threads where...

[Helium]

someone has to go to an event where there will be an ex/old flame/etc and they need a list of things to do to help them look FANTABULOUS? Well this is one of those threads!!
I'm looking for help!

I have a little over two weeks - and need a plan of action! (Basically I'm starting completely from scratch so any hints tips, clever tricks make-up type tips etc all very welcome!!)

It would be great to hear back from people who have had help on here and what happened too!! Inspire me PLEASE!!!!

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

for tummy just cheat and wear spanx

well just be confident, sparkly and DO NOT GIVE A FUCK what she thinks. that is the best way.

Thanks everyone - Iwouldnot - I love the top suggestion thanks.
Bbee -yes good advice - will have to try and remember what confident and sparkly means!!
