izer everyday until the wedding for amazingly smooth looking skin.

over of cells in the skin ensuring skin renewal happens a lot quicker.

• Visit Eccotique Spa for a Mani and Pedi Combo This will leave your nails looking healthy and polished and

will get them prepped and cleaned to begin applying a nail strengthener in month 9.

Notes:

wedding in fear that your hair might react. Start sampling products now when you’re hair has time to recover from a potential catastrophe.

Continue using this nail strengthener until your wedding day. It will help nails grow harder, longer and stronger and resist peeling, cracking and splitting.

dry, chapped hands, and soften and smooth callused feet.

this month. You’ve been busy! Be good to yourself.

the ones you care about most. Buy gifts for your bridesmaids early so you’re not stressing out closer to the date. This is also a good time to buy gifts for anyone else that has helped you out with your wedding.

Sunless tanning does not suit everyone so if you think this is something you’d like to do, test it out a few times first. You don’t want to be an Oompa-Loompa on your wedding day.
