84. the wedding GLOW UP starts now... step by step guide · Hot Girl Energy Podcast

0:13
Hello you guys. Welcome back to another episode of the Hawkerel Energy Podcast.
0:17
I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is your weekly reminder that it's a
0:21
new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day for
0:24
you to become the Hawkrel Energy you want to attract. Hello you guys.
0:28
It has been such a long time since I chatted with you all. As
0:33
most of you know, I was traveling last week and was unable to bring
0:38
my MIC on the trip. That's just something I try to avoid whenever I'm
0:42
traveling, just because the last time I did that, I actually broke my
0:45
podcast mic. So unless I can figure out a smaller MIC for future travels,
0:51
there's just been a hard way of me getting the MIC to wherever I
0:55
am. Of course, I'd love to just bring my MIC everywhere and chat
0:58
with you guys wherever I am, but it just makes the most sense whenever
1:02
I'm home. And as you guys know, I've been traveling for honestly,
1:07
I would say once a month at this point for the past five months,
1:11
which I'm not complaining about. But I'm very happy to say that I will
1:15
be home these next few weeks, well till the weddings. So I'm very
1:19
happy to be back into a normal routine and just be at home and honestly,
1:26
yeah, just enjoy being home because I feel like traveling this much has
1:30
made me realize how much I appreciate being back home and just enjoying my routine,
1:36
enjoying being home with Zach, enjoying my space, being with Freddie,
1:40
all that. Like, I just appreciate those little things so much, And
1:42
I feel like you don't really think about those things when you're at home.
1:46
You more so think about those things when you're traveling in a way from it,
1:49
and you're like, wait, I actually miss those little things that I
1:52
do back at home and all that. So, yeah, it's been quite
1:57
a hectic few days since I've been home. I actually came back on Saturday,
2:02
so I was a little behind on my Instagram stories, but I just
2:06
wanted to make sure I posted everything before I got back into being at home
2:10
content. But I did kind of have an interesting last few days since I
2:16
got back from my trip. I unfortunately had a family member pass away this
2:22
weekend, which you know was difficult on my family, so I really just
2:28
tried to stay offline this weekend to be with family for obvious reasons. And
2:32
I also got food poisoning, so I was literally so sick for I want
2:40
to say, like two full days, not three full days. I would
2:44
say two full days. And I'm talking like I could not stomach anything,
2:46
Like I wasn't eating anything. And yeah, I think you guys get the
2:53
gist of food poisoning. So I'm not going to get into detail, but
2:55
yeah, so it just kind of was not the way I wanted to start
3:00
hurt my way being home, but hey, it is what it is.
3:01
That's life. But yeah, I've already jumped back into my routine of you
3:07
know, going to a spinco class, getting my groceries done. If you
3:09
guys follow me on TikTok, you guys and know I always do a weekly
3:12
reset, So I got into that already, which has been really nice and
3:15
just made me, yeah, excited to be home and get back into the
3:21
swing of things. As you can tell by this episode title, I'm going
3:23
to be talking about the wedding glow up, but this could also be a
3:29
summer glow up for people who want to look or feel their absolute best.
3:32
Now, again, these are just things that I'm doing, not everything on
3:36
this list is something that you have to do. These are just things I'm
3:39
doing, honestly to feel my best for my wedding day. Because guys,
3:44
we are officially eighty six days away from my big day, which is mind
3:51
blowing to me, Like I cannot believe it's so close. I have been
3:53
so stressed, so overwhelmed these next few weeks. I'm just thinking of all
3:58
this shit that I have to get die and just how much money we're gonna
4:00
have to spend. We still haven't booked our honeymoon, just in case if
4:03
anyone's interested anyways, We're booking that this week. Like just so much chaos
4:09
and yeah, so I feel like there's definitely gonna be some things that I'm
4:13
gonna have to put aside from work, that I'm gonna have to make wedding
4:15
stuff more of a priority. And it's just like little details like you know,
4:20
goodie bags for the bauchorette, for the girls, you know, the
4:25
outfits for the bridesmaids, like the getting ready outfits. The bridesmaids already have
4:29
their dresses, which is good, but just like little details that you don't
4:31
think about. I feel like it all adds up so I've been trying to
4:33
make like monthly checklists and just kind of stay on top of everything that i
4:39
have to get done for May, and then I'll have a June and then
4:42
July checklist. So yeah, I'm literally like shaking talking about it, just
4:46
because it's so stressful. Anyways, you'll get it once you're a bride,
4:50
or if you've been a bride, or you're currently in your bridal era,
4:53
you get it. But yeah, I'm gonna do this episode just things that
4:57
I'm doing for the next eighty six I'm kind of doing like a seventy day
5:01
hard, I would say, So this is kind of like my take in
5:03
terms of what I'm doing to prep for the next eighty six days prior to
5:09
the wedding. I don't think it will be as strict as what people usually
5:12
do for the seventy five hard, but I'm just going to do my little
5:15
take on it. I want to challenge myself. I really want to,
5:16
as I said, just feel and look my absolute best for the wedding day.
5:19
And I think it could be a really fun challenge just for myself to
5:24
motivate myself to get into this type of consistent healthy routine. So yeah,
5:29
I'm going to share that with you, guys, but I'm going to give
5:30
you a bit of a trip recap because I know some of you were excited
5:34
to hear about the trip. If you don't want to hear this part,
5:36
you guys can just honestly fast forward, but if you do, I will
5:39
be pretty quick here. But I know some of you really wanted to hear
5:42
about how my trip went. So I started off in London, which if
5:46
you live in London, you live in such a beautiful city. Oh my
5:50
goodness, that was my first time visiting. The people are so kind,
5:56
the streets were so clean and so beautiful, Like every corner I turned,
6:00
I just was so memorized by how beautiful the city was. We did a
6:05
lot of sight seeing. We did like one of those bus tours because we
6:11
were only there for three full days, so I didn't really get to do
6:15
like I saw a lot of sites, but I wouldn't really say I did
6:16
tours like I would have wanted to do a few more things, so definitely
6:20
going back. But we just did the main things that we really wanted to
6:25
do, Like Big Ben, I really wanted to get a photo in front
6:28
of that telephone booth that they have literally everywhere, and then we did the
6:32
bus tour as I said, and then just visited the Borough Market. The
6:36
chocolate cover strawberries I've seen them all over TikTok were amazing, so freakin expensive
6:42
though, oh my goodness, I will say they are overpriced, but it
6:46
does taste amazing. So I feel like, if you're a tourist and want
6:49
to experience something that tastes amazing, I highly recommend that. But there is
6:55
also other amazing foods that you should definitely try. I tried. I would
6:59
say three different things while I was there. I did the chocolate covered strawberries.
7:02
I hit up this like Greek food place where we got like Greek wraps
7:06
and these cheese fries which were amazing, and then there was some mac and
7:11
cheese which we tried. And then I think I just got like a homemade
7:15
juice. Like I didn't get too much, but I yeah, really enjoyed
7:17
that. That was a fun little foodie lunch that I had with my mom.
7:23
And then yeah, just hit up a bunch of different restaurants that some
7:27
of you recommended, and yeah, so I'm gonna make a little London itinerary
7:30
and I'm gonna post it on my Instagram story for those who ask, because
7:33
I know some people are to other traveling there or people who live there that
7:38
might want to visit themselves, just in terms of like the restaurants we went
7:41
to all that, and then I know I also wanted to post some outfit
7:45
links. There was some requests on some things that I was wearing, which
7:49
is kind of funny because I actually did not buy anything for this trip like
7:54
I did, but it didn't come in on time, so I had to
7:58
kind of resort to things that I are owned. The only thing I bought
8:01
for that trip was that trench coat, that is it. Everything else that
8:03
I wore in those photos were just things that I honestly may have purchased a
8:07
while back that I haven't worn in photos or anything like that, So nothing
8:11
was actually physically purchased for this trip. Actually that is a lie. I
8:15
did purchase that Zara set that I wore in Italy, but I meant for
8:18
London. I had a few outfits that I really wanted to take photos in
8:22
when I was in London and they didn't come on time. So I'm still
8:24
going to do an unboxing video for that on probably TikTok, so stay tuned
8:28
for that. Just in terms of the outfits that I was going to wear
8:33
while I was in London, But now that the weather is finally nice,
8:35
I could probably wear the outfits here as well, and you know, wear
8:39
them going out to dinner or something. But yeah, I was a little
8:41
disappointed that my outvids didn't come in on time, but it is what it
8:45
is. But yeah, I'll link some of the things that I wore,
8:48
just like my go to jeans that I was wearing, belts, tops,
8:50
anything like that, because they should still all be available. And yeah,
8:54
So we started off in London, as I said, had a great time.
8:58
Highly recommend visiting the city if you've never been. It is absolutely beautiful
9:01
and I had the best time while we were there. And then from London
9:05
we went to Italy. I'm not going to say which part because if I
9:09
say it will just give it away, honestly. So we flew into the
9:13
city that we are getting married in. Well, where we're getting married is
9:18
actually not close to the airport at all. It's like an hour and a
9:20
bit away, but it is absolutely beautiful. I've traveled there before with my
9:26
family prior to Covid in this little town, and yeah, I fell in
9:31
love with it while I was there. Zach actually couldn't come on this trip
9:35
just due to work and taking so much time off for the wedding, so
9:39
my mom came with me to help make decisions, which honestly I think I
9:43
preferred because my mom actually speaks fully Italian, so I am Italian, well
9:48
half Italian, my mom's full So it was really nice just because speaking with
9:52
people, she was able to, yeah, just speak the language and completely
9:56
just translate it back to me. I can understand it more than I can
9:58
speak. So it's not like I really needed the help, I guess,
10:03
but it was helpful to have someone that spoke the language. And I also
10:05
felt like my mom was just able to help me make more concrete decisions for
10:09
the wedding. So the whole point of me going to Italy was honestly just
10:13
to attend all these wedding appointments. So the first day we had the venue
10:18
walk through in food tasting, which the venue ended up being even more beautiful
10:22
in person. I completely was speechless and it really helped me make concrete decisions
10:28
in terms of where the ceremony is going to be and where the dinner's going
10:30
to be and all that, and then for the food tasting. That was
10:33
so helpful because there was a lot of things that we didn't like that we
10:37
wanted to make some changes with the modifications too. I would have obviously eaten
10:41
my wedding dinner, but it may have not been what I'd hoped it be,
10:46
which would suck because you spend so much money on the food, like
10:50
so much money for everybody to eat. So I wanted to be enjoyable.
10:52
So we made a lot of modifications, which apparently is very normal. So
10:56
we were able to completely customize the menu to exactly what we want. So
11:01
it was definitely worth getting that appointment done and just knowing exactly what the food
11:07
menu is going to look like for the wedding day. So the venue walk
11:09
through and that took about like five hours, so that was literally a full
11:13
day of activities. And then the next day we had our hair and makeup
11:16
trial. I did my hair and makeup, which you guys probably already saw,
11:20
which I think turned out so good. There's definitely a few little modifications
11:24
that I want to make, just little ones like maybe fixing my brows my
11:28
lips all that like very very subtle changes. I feel like it's still me,
11:33
which is what I like. Because I didn't want to go to over
11:35
the top. I tried to keep it just like a bronze elevated, glowy
11:41
look of looking like myself. I think that's important. And yeah, I
11:45
don't know why. I don't know if anyone else is like this, but
11:48
I feel like my lips I am very like fixated on one lipliner and one
11:54
lipliner only, and like, do I change it up for the wedding day
11:56
or do I just stick to my go to? I feel like I'm just
12:00
gonna stick to my go to because I'm so particular in terms of what Lipliner's
12:05
on my lips. So I think that was one thing that was bothering me
12:07
because I didn't have my go to lipliner, which is the anywhere caffeine by
12:13
makeup forever. It's just like literally my natural lip color but just elevated.
12:16
And I just love a good neutral lip. And I don't know. My
12:20
Mom's like, it's your wedding day, like you should do something different,
12:22
and I'm like, yeah, I don't know, but this is just like
12:24
me you know that I make up obviously is like way more than I would
12:28
typically do. Like guys, I barely wear makeup during the day. It's
12:31
just not me. So it was already a lot for me to see it
12:35
on my face, which I mean, I'm trying to trying to push myself
12:39
to just sit killy. It's worth it to wear a lot because you know
12:41
in photos and all that it's going to look good. But anyways, it's
12:45
just, yeah, I think it's me, which is what I wanted.
12:48
But I'm just having a hard time moving past the lips. I don't know
12:52
why. But anyways, all in all, the makeup and hair tral went
12:54
pretty well. I have three hairstyles in mine, so I don't think it's
12:58
going to be that hair that I post to be honest, but it's going
13:01
to be something similar. I definitely want to wear my hair down and yeah,
13:05
and then my mom did her hair and makeup trial the same day,
13:07
and then the following day that's when we both started to get a bit sick,
13:13
so we did absolutely nothing. We literally sat in bed, and the
13:16
weather wasn't that great either, so we didn't really miss out on much.
13:18
And then we traveled home so that was kind of like the last part of
13:24
the trip. But we got all the wedding appointments that we wanted to get
13:26
done. Everything else that I have to do this week is more so just
13:30
meeting with the planners virtually as well as Missimplass, which is just like figuring
13:35
out our chairs, plates, dishware all that, so I have to meet
13:39
with them. And I'm also meeting with a dress designer for my after party
13:46
dress. We're just confirming the design for that. So all in all,
13:50
was a really good trip, very happy we did it. I feel a
13:52
lot better going into making more concrete decisions for the wedding, and yeah,
13:58
I'm just excited to, yeah, finally get to the day, because honestly,
14:01
it's getting close and I'm ready to just get married to Zach and yeah,
14:05
get back into the normal content and being home and all that. Like
14:09
I love my bridal era, but yeah, I think I'm ready to get
14:13
back into the normal swing of things and be less stressed. But I'm excited.
14:18
It's going to be a magical day and yeah, I'm looking forward to,
14:22
Yeah, the wedding day, the honeymoon, all that. It's going
14:24
to be so exciting. So let's talk about things that I'm doing to prep
14:28
for my wedding, Things that I'm either doing to make myself look or feel
14:31
my absolute best. And a lot of this has to do with either my
14:35
skin, beauty treatments, workouts, things that I'm eating, et cetera.
14:41
Just a bunch of different things. So the first one that I've been doing
14:43
honestly for the past I want to say, past four months now, I've
14:48
probably already done three of them. I'm on my fourth right now is facials.
14:52
I would say I started at the six month mark and I've been doing
14:56
a facial a month, so every four weeks, I've been getting a hydro
15:00
facial. The one in Ottawa that I go to is It's just the spot.
15:03
They have a full on facial setup upstairs where they do a bunch of
15:07
facials, massages, lymphatic drainage, all that. So I have been going
15:11
to them and they have been amazing. I'm also very particular with facials because
15:18
my face reacts so easily to everything, and this facial honestly doesn't create any
15:24
reaction, which is good. So because my skin is so sensitive, I
15:28
don't really want to try anywhere else. I'm sure, there is other places
15:31
that you could get facials, but because we're getting so close, I'm like,
15:33
I don't want to experiment anywhere else. I'm just going to be consistent
15:37
with the hydro facials for the next two months. And yeah, so as
15:41
we talk about skin, I am also trying to be consistent with my daily
15:46
skincare routine. This is something that's not really new to me. I feel
15:50
like I've always been very consistent with the skincare routine, but there is some
15:54
times where I'm like, Oh, I want to experiment and try a new
15:56
you know, cleanser, or ooh, maybe I should add this serum.
15:58
I'm trying to not do that these next few weeks, just because sometimes experimenting
16:03
with new products is honestly never the best for your skin and it might react
16:08
someway or anything like that. So I'm trying to be consistent with the same
16:11
products, not changing anything. But one thing that I have sucked at is
16:17
a nighttime skincare routine. I think whenever I'm shutting down for the night and
16:22
just completely zoning out, I feel like sometimes I get lazy and I'm like,
16:26
yeah, I don't need to do my skin care routine, Like I'm
16:29
just gonna go to butt and brush my teeth. But I've been trying to
16:33
really focus on doing my nightly skincare routine as well. I actually just added
16:37
this product in I want to say, a few weeks ago before I left
16:41
for London. So here's me not following my rule about adding new products.
16:45
But I know this brand. I use it all over my face anyways,
16:51
Like it's the brand Summer Fridays. That's literally all my skincare is the Summer
16:55
Friday's oil, the Summer Friday's sunscreen, Like everything I use is Summer Friday.
17:00
So I knew my skin would be fine. But anyways, they just
17:02
came out with an overnight eye cream, So I've been using that at night
17:06
because I find I have some bags, well dark circles under my eyes.
17:10
So I'm like, maybe this will help if I'm consistent with it. So
17:12
I'm using that, And then I've been using a eyelash growth serum as well
17:18
as a brow growth serum. I have this like bald spot on my eyebrow.
17:22
Anyways, long story short, when I was a kid, got my
17:26
eyebrows waxed at some at some place in a mall probably not trustworthy at all,
17:33
and she actually created this bald spot on my eyebrow when I was a
17:37
kid, and I'm like, great, it has not grown back since.
17:40
But I also think it hasn't grown back because I haven't really treated for it,
17:44
like I haven't added any growth serum or anything. So I've been trying
17:48
to, yeah, hope that the bald spot gets covered up before the wedding.
17:51
I highly doubt it, well, but you never know. We'd be
17:53
consistent we try, So I've been doing that and just you know, using
17:59
a moisture, a cleanser, and an oil as well, and then obviously
18:03
the Summer Friday's lip butter bomb. That's my go to lip bomb. But
18:07
that's kind of what I've been trying to focus on, is doing the skin
18:10
caroutine every single morning and every single night before bed. I've also been taking
18:14
daily vitamins for my skin as well as my hair. I've been loving the
18:19
Lemmy vitamins I think I talked about actually in the last episode with my favorite
18:25
products So good guys, I've actually used a lot more of them since I've
18:29
been back, and yeah, love love love them. Totally worth the hype
18:33
in my opinion, but I'm excited to see the progress for the hair and
18:37
Skin and nails gummies. I've been taking them since before the trip, and
18:41
I've been pretty consistent with it. This actually reminds me that I have to
18:45
take it, which I'll do after recording this episode. But I've been consistent
18:48
with taking those every single days prior to the trip and then since i've been
18:52
back. And then another thing I love to have, which you guys know,
18:56
is green juices. But I've been taking age every single morning, I
19:00
want to say for the past year. But this is something that I typically
19:03
do in the summertime. I wouldn't really say during the winter, but I
19:07
make homemade green juices. So you guys have probably seen the videos on TikTok
19:11
or on Instagram, but I will have the recipe linked down below. This
19:17
is just a recipe that I've been using for years whenever I want to make
19:21
homemade green juices. But for this challenge that I'm doing, I'm gonna be
19:25
making homemade green juices every single day. So what I put inside is I
19:30
put spinach, cucumber, ginger, lemon, mango, and coconut water.
19:34
I find it's great for my skin. It's great for my energy, it's
19:37
great for my mood. You can also add some kale if you want,
19:41
or any other vegetables or turmeric, anything like that. Carrots, I don't
19:47
know. And you can drain the pulp with a strainer, or you can
19:52
keep the pulp in it. Now, every time I post this video,
19:55
everyone always comes at me saying, don't drain the pulp, You're losing all
19:57
the nutrients, blah blah blah. The pulp does not taste good in it,
20:02
I will be honest. I do try and remove the pulp and then
20:07
add a little bit in it whenever I do drink it, but it's just
20:11
it's too much. It's hard to digest. I will say it does taste
20:14
good, like the one that I have with the mango in it. I
20:17
find it makes it a bit sweeter and the coconut water, so it's a
20:19
bit of a flavor to the taste. I don't find it's like, oh
20:22
my god, I'm gonna throw up. Like it's not bad at all.
20:25
It's actually tastes good, which is why I enjoy making it. But the
20:29
pulp, I don't know. I think it's just the texture thing for me.
20:32
That I can't really digest it, so I usually just add a little
20:36
bit into it and just yeah, have it on the side. But I
20:38
know some people what they actually do with the pulp is they actually freeze it
20:41
and make them into ice cubes, which honestly might be something I should do
20:45
because then I can just add it into the drink after the fat, because
20:49
obviously I don't want to throw out all those nutrients and fibers. But I
20:53
got to figure out something because it ain't my favorite just because it again,
20:59
it's a text, which I feel like a lot of people can agree with
21:02
that. But if you can have it with the pulp, go you.
21:03
But I can only add a little bit just because I find it's too thick
21:07
anyway. So that's something I'm trying to do for the prep of the wedding.
21:11
And then another thing I'm trying to do is having high protein meals.
21:15
I'm really trying to be consistent with my eating habits and trying to stay on
21:19
a healthy schedule. And yeah, I don't know, I'm just trying to
21:23
be really not like really strict, but I'm just trying to make sure that
21:26
I have a vegetable, a carb and a protein on my plate. I
21:30
feel like that's something that I've always done, but I think, you know,
21:33
I haven't really been not like I haven't been focusing on doing that.
21:37
I think I've just kind of been not really in the right mindset, if
21:41
that makes sense, and I'm kind of like, oh, let's just do
21:42
take out, Oh let's just make mac and cheese, Like, oh,
21:45
it's one day whatever. Yes, that's fine. I mean that's how I
21:49
normally eat. I'm just trying to be a little bit more stricter on myself
21:52
by eating a bit more higher proteins all that, but still obviously eating full
21:57
meals. Always make sure you're eating three full, balanced meals and getting some
22:02
snack ins during the day. So I think I'll film a what I eat
22:04
in a day as I prep for the wedding, if that's something you guys
22:07
would be interested in. I still eat a lot of food. I just
22:11
I'm trying to eat more nutrients, more high protein all that, just to
22:15
really prep for the big day. I'm also trying to avoid less snacking.
22:19
I am the biggest snackers anyone else like that. I love snacks. I
22:23
need to chill at the grocery store. Because every time I go to the
22:26
grocery store, I swear to God I'm hungry, and I see all these
22:30
snacks and I'm like, oh, this looks good. Ooh this looks good,
22:33
and I just like, I'm stopping the cartful of snacks. It's like,
22:34
Okay, where are the vegetables? Where is the protein? So I
22:40
need to be better at snacking less. So I'm trying to work on that.
22:42
Okay, So we've talked about the foods, We've talked about the skin.
22:47
Another thing that I'm obviously doing, which you guys know, is just
22:49
keeping up with a good workout routine. I'm trying to push it to six
22:53
days a week for my workout schedule. I'm trying to have two days where
22:56
it's somewhat of my off day, but I want to go on a long
22:59
walk on the those days, so like a forty five minute to an hour
23:03
walk. That way, I'm still moving my body, but you know,
23:04
I'm still kind of doing a relaxing workout. And then I want to run
23:11
once a week, go to pilates twice a week, and then spin coat
23:14
twice a week. So that is what I'm hoping I can stick to.
23:19
Plates I want it for the tone for spinning. I want it for the
23:22
cardio and some ur movement for the running. It's also cardio, so a
23:26
lot more cardio, But I think the plates will really help with the toning
23:30
and all that. And again, I don't really want to change what I'm
23:34
doing because I love what I do with my workouts. I don't really want
23:38
to go back to, you know, heavy lifting just because oh, it
23:42
makes you look so good whatever, But personally, for me, like,
23:47
that's not what works for my body, and that's not the kind of workouts
23:48
that I like. And let me know if you guys are like that.
23:52
I personally just love spinning and I love pilates, So I'd rather do something
23:56
I love and just be a bit more consistent with it and be more active
24:00
with it versus trying a workout that I don't enjoy. So you have to
24:03
still love what you do. You gotta, you know, in order to
24:07
make it work and to be consistent with a workout routine. You need to
24:10
love what you do and wake up every single morning actually enjoying it versus,
24:14
you know, trying to push through something just to lose weight, like I
24:17
don't know, like my goal is not to lose weight right now. It's
24:18
honestly just to tone and feel my best, And yeah, I don't know,
24:23
So that's what I'm gonna be doing these next few weeks. The next
24:26
thing I'm gonna be doing is now that the weather's nice, I'm gonna be
24:30
tinning outside more guys. I made the biggest mistake. And I have not
24:33
talked about this on social media, but when I was in Mexico with Trend
24:40
back in April, idiot Kaylee was not thinking about the wedding day and I
24:45
have the bikini tan lines on my chest, so my dress is not a
24:52
high neck dress, Like I'm just gonna say that. I feel like most
24:55
wedding dresses aren't. So it's gonna show and I I'm freaking out about it
25:00
because I'm like, how the heck am I going to remove these tan lines?
25:03
Like there's somewhat faded now, but you can still tell. So I'm
25:08
like, do I apply like fifty cents screen everywhere all over my body?
25:12
But these tan lines that way I can even and out. My makeup artist
25:17
said he could obviously just cover it up with makeup, but I'm like,
25:19
why why did I do that, so now I'm like, oh, I'm
25:23
such an idiot. I don't know why I didn't wear a strapless bikini when
25:26
I was on that trip, but anyways, is what it is. But
25:29
I'm going to be trying to tan as much as I can. I'm going
25:33
to try and avoid tanning my face just because I don't really ever tann my
25:37
face. I might tan my face a few weeks prior to the wedding just
25:40
to have a little bit of a bronze look on my face. But yeah,
25:45
definitely going to be outside more tanning naturally. I don't really want to
25:48
get a spray tan for the wedding. I'd rather just be unatural, but
25:52
we shall see. I'm also a little concerned because my bacherette will be outside
25:57
for a lot of the activities that were doing, so I need to be
26:00
on it with the sunscreen because I do not want to burn or get any
26:03
tan lines or anything like that. So yeah, I think I'll just have
26:07
to be very cautious in terms of my skin and being on top of the
26:14
sunscreen game. Okay, another thing that I'm going to be doing prior to
26:17
the wedding is a little bit of botox and touch up my filler. I
26:21
feel like I've been really open and honest with this. I don't really do
26:23
much, but I like to get a bit of baby botox just in my
26:27
forehead because I am a very expressive person, Like when I talk, like
26:33
I don't know, my face just makes expressions. I have no idea,
26:36
but I do have a few lines on my forehead. This is not something
26:38
that I do religiously. I wouldn't say, like I have not gone botox
26:42
since my engagement party, so because I did that prior to, Like I
26:45
really only do this kind of stuff if it's prior to a large event,
26:49
like after the wedding. I don't really think I'll be back into the boatox
26:53
game. I just really wanted to have it for the wedding. So I'm
26:57
going to be doing that honestly in the next few weeks because I think boatox
27:02
takes about twelve days to kick in, and at my engagement party it did
27:06
kick in, but like it was like I was reaching the maximum point for
27:10
its kicking because I think I got it literally eleven days prior to the engagement
27:14
party, which I should have done it a month before the engagement parties.
27:17
So note that ladies do it at least a month or two prior to any
27:22
wedding or bridle related things. So yeah, I'm gonna do the boatoks honestly,
27:26
like two months in advance. Also that way it settles a bit,
27:29
because I feel like the first month it's like quite tight. I don't know
27:32
if it's because my girl put too much in it a few weeks prior to
27:36
the engagement party, I don't know. I just feel like it was way
27:38
too tight and it felt, yeah, like I couldn't move like I just
27:41
didn't like it. I was like, it's supposed to be baby Bowtok's supposed
27:45
to feel a bit more natural. It's not supposed to feel like this much
27:48
like I don't like to put too much in my face. So anyways,
27:51
I'm gonna do a bit in my forehead and then I always have gotten lippiller.
27:55
I've had lipbiller now for I want to say, four or five years.
28:00
I actually just do my top lip. I had no upper lip growing
28:03
up, and honestly, it's just a confidence booster in my opinion. I
28:07
love just having a very natural lip. I feel like every time someone's like
28:11
you have fill in your lip, like I didn't even notice, which is
28:12
perfect. That's exactly what I want. I don't want it to look like
28:17
I have any filler, but I am due for a bit more. So
28:19
I am gonna just do like probably honestly, like zero point two five,
28:23
like not that much, just because I still have filler in my lip.
28:26
And I don't know if anyone has experienced this, but my injector said that
28:33
my lips honestly can only get to a certain point and then in terms of
28:37
filler, and then it will start to migrate on my top upper lip,
28:40
which honestly looks like crap. So she may even tell me, let's just
28:44
do a lip flip. We do not need to add any more filler,
28:45
which is fine to me, to be honest, I just want to make
28:48
sure there's just a bit more of a poudy look for the wedding days.
28:52
So yeah, that I will also get done. So that will be something
28:56
that I will probably book within the next few weeks I'm thinking, and of
29:00
May beginning of June. That way, it's perfectly two months prior to the
29:03
wedding, so I'm going to do that. And then for hair treatments,
29:08
I am going to do a hair treatment and hair gloss in July, so
29:14
that's my next hair appointment. I really don't feel like I need anything else
29:17
prior to the wedding. In my opinion, I'm not going to get it
29:21
trimmed before the wedding either, just because I got my hair trimmed. I
29:23
think it was in March and my hairdresser that did my hair or my hairstylist.
29:30
Sorry, if he said, don't cut your hair anymore with the hair
29:33
curls that we want to achieve for your wedding day, like you don't want
29:36
to cut anything else, I said, okay, perfect, So not going
29:37
to cut it, just going to do a treatment and a gloss. I
29:41
think it just really depends on the wedding hair that you plan to achieve your
29:45
wedding day. Just to do whatever your hairstylust recommends. So for me,
29:49
he said not to cut it, so I'm not going to. But I
29:52
am just going to get it retoned just because my hair pulls red. So
29:56
I'm going to have to get it a little bit darker for the wedding day
29:57
and then yeah, just do some treatments. Another thing I'll be doing is
30:02
teeth whitening. I honestly just do this at home. I don't go to
30:04
any dentist or anything like that, just because I have composite bonding on my
30:10
teeth, so I don't do any yeah, professional teeth whitening. I honestly
30:15
just use the Cres white strips and that's it. You just buy them at
30:18
the pharmacy. You do it like you know, I would say once every
30:22
two weeks. I don't think it's a weekly thing that you have to do.
30:25
But yeah, I'll probably just do maybe one or two treatments honestly before
30:29
the wedding. Linthatic drainage. As I said. The spot that I go
30:33
to they offer that type of service, so I'm probably going to get that
30:36
just prior to traveling, just to help with debloating. And yeah, just
30:41
I've been wanting to get it done before. I've never gotten it done,
30:45
and I hear really amazing things about it, So I'm going to get that
30:48
done. Another thing is just the browse. I'm going to get my brow
30:52
appointment done. Probably. I have two appointments prior to the wedding. I
30:56
have one coming up that I honestly booked for next week, and then I
31:02
will probably have one closer to the wedding, I would say I actually have
31:04
three more appointments, not two more. What am I saying? I usually
31:07
get my brows done once a month, so that would make sense. And
31:11
then ladies, make sure you do trial nails because for your wedding day,
31:17
you will think that you know what you want, but when you do it,
31:21
you'll be like, oh wait, maybe that's not what I want.
31:23
So I've been trying out different wedding nails with my nail tech. We first
31:29
did a thicker French, which I loved, but a lot of you said
31:32
that you wanted me to try a thinner French just to compare. So I
31:36
have a nail appointment in two weeks that I will try out the thinner French
31:40
and see. I think I am leaning towards doing a French. The only
31:42
other nail that I think I'm going to try is like a neutral kind of
31:47
like a bubble bath, funny bunny situation, so we'll see how that looks
31:52
as well. But I think those three will help me determine, Okay,
31:55
what's my favorite. I feel like it's definitely something you should do is try
31:59
out your wedding nails with a few different nail appointments, but I feel like
32:04
there's only so many trials you can do. I feel like three to four
32:07
is enough. So I do have probably two more nails that I want to
32:10
try, like nail sets and colors, and then hopefully that will help me
32:15
determine what nail color I'll do for the wedding day. So that's everything that
32:20
I'm doing, honestly for these next few weeks is just keeping up with beauty
32:22
treatments, really focusing on moving my body six days a week, keeping up
32:28
with the good skincare routine, and eating high protein meals all that. So
32:32
if you're the kind of person that you know is looking to have a little
32:36
bit of a glow up or anything like that, these are just some things
32:38
that I recommend. Obviously, you do not need to do all these things.
32:42
Even just doing a few of these things will honestly make you feel so
32:45
much better, and I feel like you'll notice a difference as well. So
32:49
I guess this is my seventy five hard take that I'm going to be doing
32:52
these next few weeks, and I'm excited to just really focus on myself and
32:57
feeling my absolute best. And I'm gonna film everything. Obviously, I'm always
33:00

33:20

33:23
week is really the kick of summer. So I'm very excited to kick off
33:29
