The Wedding Countdown

Wedding Day Countdown


Start to think about your complexion about 4-6 months before. A skincare routine helps skin look even, smooth and radiant. For all important daily sun protection, don’t go out without an SPF lotion- please consider this at any time of the year.

About 4 to 8 weeks before and you suffer from large pores, dullness or shine. Now is the time to get a skin care check up and address any complexion issues. Please go and talk to the experts about your concerns and commit to a simple customised routine. You will see your problems solved and your skin transformed.

Round about 4 weeks before make a visit to see a make up expert and go over your wedding day look.

Purchase presents for your bridal party. Make up and fragrance items make great gifts. Please don’t forget the groom.

Continue to experiment with self tanners to give skin a sun kissed glow. The key to natural looking, believable colour? Exfoliation. It helps self tanning products glide on and most importantly streak free. Polish and deflake dull skin with gentle yet effective booster exfoliators for face and body.

After you have applied a self tanner you must remember to keep your skin hydrated this is very important as dry skin soaks up colour unevenly. Wait for 20 minutes after self tanning before smoothing on moisturiser.

It is now the week of that all important day the wedding day. Make time to go for that all important final skin care check up. It is well known that stress and dehydration can wreak havoc on skin, therefore get some all important exercise and more importantly drink plenty of water, too.

Revisit how you want your make up to look. Practice makes perfect. Now’s the time to purchase anything that missing from your cosmetics bag. Pack for your honeymoon. Importantly don’t forget the sunscreen.

Also consider what special fragrance you will wear for the big day.

The wedding day remember to moisturise lightly around your eyes and liberally on your face. A well moisturised face keeps foundation from clinging to skin.

Foundation evens out skin tone and minimises imperfections. Remember less is more.

Concealer disguises imperfections – it’s the key to great photographs. Brighten your look with a lighter shade of concealer at the inner and outer eye corners.

Eye shadow tends to wear off. Anchor your shadow with a neutral base for long wear. Waterproof mascara is a must.

Lipstick should be subtle and flattering. Avoid brown lipsticks to make to make your teeth your whiter. And a long wearing lipstick formula will help keep your smile beautiful after numerous toasts and kisses.

Bottom line? Enjoy your moment it’s your day. Feel comfortable with yourself. Finally be yourself! The most important thing to remember is to have fun, and delight in this once in a lifetime process.

As a footnote I have started to source wedding goods in my ebay shop.Please visithttp://stores.ebay.co.uk/Grimzags-Emporium

Brides and Wedding

Everyone knows someone you is getting married this year or next and their wedding plans are set and they are actively working on them.

I have therefore started sources wedding items for my ebay store . There is only a few items at the moment however if they sell I will add and source more.

However I have found these wedding traditions for everyone to see. Some I did know about and some I didn't.


The Ring

The wedding ring is worn on the third finger of the left hand because it was once believed that a special vein ran from this finger directly to the heart. If the ring is dropped during the ceremony, it should be picked up only by the clergyman or registrar conducting the ceremony.

If the wife loses her wedding ring at any time, the husband should immediately buy another, place it on her finger and repeat the lines of the marriage vow.

It's All in the Timing

June is a universally favoured month for weddings, and not just because good weather can generally be relied upon. Its popularity is rooted in the fact that it was named for the goddess Juno. As the adored and faithful wife of Jupiter, she is said to bestow special blessings on those who marry in her month. May, named for Maia, wife of Vulcan and patroness of the aged, is said to be a particularly unlucky time to marry.

Married in January's hoar and rime, widowed you'll be before your time,
Married in February's sleepy weather, life you'll tread in time together,
Married when March winds shrill and roar, your home will be on a distant shore,
Married beneath April's changing skies, a chequered path before you lies,
Married when bees over May blossoms flit, strangers around your board will sit,
Married in the month of roses, June, life will be one long honeymoon,
Married in July with flowers ablaze, bittersweet memories on after days,
Married in August's heat and drowse, lover and friend in your chosen spouse,
Married in September's golden glow, smooth and serene your life will go,
Married when leaves in October thin, toil and hardship now begin,
Married in veils of November mist, fortune your wedding ring has kissed,
Married in days of December cheer, love's star shines brighter from year to year.

Some days, too, are considered luckier than others for marrying:

Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday the best of all,
Thursday for losses,
Friday for crosses,
Saturday no luck at all.

The job situation could be better, however I will just have to get on with it at the moment

Job Situation

On the whole everything is ticking over ok. Except one trainer who with I think the boss doesn't want me in the section due to me been given the job as I was a re-deployee.

My line manager is always checking to see if I have any work to get on with and they are always asking this trainer to pass work over. The trainer says that they will however I only ever get it within the last 10 minutes before I leave.

I think they want me to stay late and build up flexi that then they will not allow me to take.

The line manager also keeps asking this trainer if I can attend meeting with her. The number of meeting that I have attended is huge however as this is a new work area for me I will tag along. The response I get is there are none. However they other new starters are already tagging along with their trainers to meeting. The thing that rub salt into the wound is the trainer allocated to me is always out at meeting.

Oh well at least my ebay work is slowly taking off.
