Strange Beauty Tips

Well, the wedding season is winding down. It's not over. Not by a long shot, but it is slowing down enough that I have a few minutes to sit down at the computer finally and update my blog.

So, thinking about what would be useful to most brides at this point - true, there are always brides at every stage of wedding planning because weddings happen all year around, and even if they didn't the globe has a northern and southern hemisphere meaning that when summer is winding down here, winter is on it's way there - still, recognizing that most of my readers are from the northern hemisphere and that the peak of wedding season is spring and summer, most active brides that are not already married soon will be. So... what would be most useful?

Probably some solutions to the kind of problems that come up at the last minute! Things like, what do you do when you wake up on your wedding day and find that the tanning spray your aunt Marge swore by left your skin streaky? Suddenly stuffed up and don't have decongestants? What do you do if you realize your arm pits look too dry and flaky for that sleeveless dress?

• Last minute Zits? No bride wants to walk down the aisle with a pimple on the end of her nose. Put just enough toothpaste on it to cover the pimple, let it absorb the oil for fifteen minutes so the pimple won't continue to build throughout your big day and then wash off.
• Eyebrows uncooperative? Mist a new toothbrush with hairspray and comb your eyebrows into place.
• Dull eyelashes? A touch of petroleum jelly combed into the eyelashes is an old trick that can take a bride's lashes from dull to sexy in a moment for virtually no cost!
• Congested without chemical decongestants? Try eating something spicy! A good, spicy, salsa or strong mint will often do the trick.
• Flaky Pits? Don't sweat that sleeveless wedding gown. Exfoliate your pits with a gentle face scrub.
• Streaking Tan? No need to worry. Simply powder a loofah with baking powder and buff the streaks away.

There are so many more tricks. Maybe tomorrow I'll add a few more that I've gathered over the years. Of course, in the meantime don't hesitate to go to www.ExcitingWeddingFavors.com for more fun and useful ideas.
