I feel pretty, oh so pretty

September 6th, 2006 @ 2:07 pm | wedding | Post a Comment

I just finished scheduling a bajillion appointments, all in preparation for gettin’ pretty for my wedding.

  • Special bridal facial by Olga - check!
  • Weekly sessions at the tanning salon*** - check!
  • Bikini wax - check!
  • Haircut with new person since my girl moved away (at a particularly inconvenient time, I might add) - check!
  • Eyelash tint - check! (Do not judge. I am PALE. Like one step away from Albino, people.)
  • Body polish - check!
  • Mani/pedi - check!
  • Annual ob/gyn check up - check! (or, as my sister calls it, the Obi-Wan Kenobi doctor, and yes, I know this one isn’t so much about beauty but rather health and not getting pregnant on my honeymoon)

What am I forgetting? Oh right, to call in the producers of Women’s Entertainment Network and get myself a spot on this show.

*** Yes, I know. Tanning is very, very bad. (Vanity is also bad, and possibly more powerful in this instance.)

  1. I wish I had an excuse to do all this pampering! You’re going to look fahhhhhbulous.

  2. Laurel - you don’t need to be getting married to pamper yourself like that! :)
    Janet, have fun and treasure every moment of all of this “Me Time” — I hope when your wedding day comes, you feel relaxed and as happy as you can be!

  3. I’m totally jealous of the pampering. I think I may get on the phone and make some appointments!

    You know, tanning may be bad and evil and all that - but it sure does make those of the pastey variety (ie: me!) look so much better! When I signed up for tanning my boyfriend said, “you know, I was doing some research and tanning is really bad for you” After I was tan he said, “you look so tan..it looks good!!” Apparently he stopped thinking with his “research” brain. LOL

  4. After reading this… I realize I want some pampering too!!

    And a few tanning sessions won’t be a big deal… who wants FAKE TANNER smearing on her wedding dress! Gah!

  5. I’m getting married just to do all of the pampering appointments.

    Definitely skipping the OB though. That’s not pampering. And I’ll do that at a different time.

    You would need to take Bridezilla lessons first to even apply to that show honestly.

  7. Wait, you can get your eyelashes tinted?? Why did no one tell me about this before!?! I have been suffering for 25 years with eyelashes that are blonde at the ends, making me look like I have the shortest eyelashes known to womankind. And sadly, I don’t even have blonde hair. Nope, brown. Dark, dark brown.

    (and I don’t wear mascara on a daily basis because I am incapable of not rubbing my eyes and getting it all over my face)

    Pardon me, I have to go research this now.

  8. You’re going to be scrubbed, tanned, polished, plucked and perfect! I love it!

  9. I totally agree with Kelly. Fake tanner on wedding dress is very, very bad. A no no some would say. And lets not even talk about the fake tanner smell. No one wants to hug and kiss the bride if she stinks.

    Remember the rules:

    Bride = Pampering

    You deserve it, you earn it, ITS YOUR TURN!

    So I say, book at least FIVE more pampering appointments because why the heck not?, you’re the bride afterall!

    No one is going to tell you no and if they dare try, Bridezilla is allowed to jump out and eat them whole!

    Live it up Bride!

  10. I tanned before my wedding, and hope I don’t sound conceited, but looking at my pictures, the color of my skin was so perfect! Tanning has a way of getting you an all over color, and as long as you don’t go overboard, it looks great. A few sessions won’t kill you anyway.
    So jealous of all your beauty appointments…I need my hair done SOOO badly, my toenails painted SOOOO badly, and my eyebrows waxed SOOOO badly. Welcome to motherhood, I guess….
    And lastly, LOL on not getting pregnant on your honeymoon. DEFINITELY not what you want.
