dolceSPOSA — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 07:31:46 +0000

I am sure many brides-to-be will love this new revolutionary technology pioneered by Jan Marini called Marini Lash. It is a miracle product that promises all you ladies out there beautiful and longer eye lashes in just three months. Celebrities like Penelope Cruz is said to be a big fan of this product and I am seriously curiouos to try it myself. I thought I’d share this product to all our readers and maybe this is one product you can put on your to-buy list so you get to try it out and see what the results are. Guess it won’t hurt to try something new and if the results are good, then you can have gorgeous and longer eyelashes on your wedding day without having to use fake eyelashes.

Marini Lash is sold in the market at £99.00. It is a bit pricey but if the results are great, then i guess it is worth the money compared to your monthly eyelashes extension renewal.

Bridal skin countdown…

dolceSPOSA — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 06:59:14 +0000

Look gorgeous and feel great on your wedding day inside and out!! Like anything in life, preparation is important if you want to achieve something good. And for your wedding day, make sure to prepare your skin for that radiant and youthful glow. Do not overlook this vital part as it is also as important as finding your wedding dress.

One Year and counting….

Start a beauty regimen as early as possible. This will also allow you to try different beauty products, and find what works well for your skin.

Six months and counting…..

Go for skin facials with your husband-to-be or girl friends. A beauty therapist can access your skin and recommend good skin treatments that will ensure you look your best even without make-up.

Three months and counting….

Are you drinking enough water? You can buy all the beauty product cults available in the market, spend money on facials, and the like but all these won’t be as effective if you do not re-examine your water consumption. Get in to the habit of drinking 8 glasses of water a day. This will help remove all the toxins in your system, and guarantee you a skin more luminous and clearer as ever.

One month and counting….

Invest in a good skin exfoliator and skin mask for the extra skin boost one month before your big day. Gently exfoliate your skin leaving it clearer, softer and more refined. Pair it with a mask to stimulate, uplift you skin especially during this busy time of wedding planning, you will see great results.

Two-weeks and counting….

Improve the blood circulation on your face to help brighten your eyes, soften your skin make it firmer and more radiant by going for a facial acupuncture.

Morning of your wedding….

Have a warm bath with drops of lavender, and rose essential oil to help calm your mind, body, and soul. This simple yet natural care will invigorate, refresh and leave you feeling your best. When you are calm from the inside, it will beautifully glow on the outside. This is sure to work wonder on your special day.

You deserve all these beauty treats for all the hard work you are doing with all the wedding planning. So enjoy, relax and indulge yourself as much as you can, these are just some of the perks of being engaged and soon to be married!

Teeth Whitening for a Whiter Bridal Smile

dolceSPOSA — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 17:15:33 +0000

I had afternoon tea at Claridge’s today with a good girl friend of mine and I noticed a really nice glow on her face. At first, I thought it was purely the bridal glow that everyone gets closer to the big day. But later on, she excitedly told me that she actually listened to my advice about seeing a dentist to have her teeth whitening done before the big day. I seriously thought she looked even more beautiful with that bridal smile she’s now got!

Our meeting today certainly inspired me to write this article so that I can tell more brides-to-be to do the same thing. Going for teeth whitening before your big day is a big must and this should be on top of your priorities. Nothing can be more beautiful than having a brighter white teeth on your big day. You will certainly look younger and fresher in real life and in all your wedding photographs.

I would suggest a minimum of one month and definitely not too close to the wedding day. This is of course not always the case but based on my experience, I thought it is beter to be safe than sorry. My partner had his teeth whitened last year and he came out of the clinic with a shocking flourescet white teeth just like Ross in Friends and this is something you would certainly not want on your wedding day. You should plan ahead and schedule enough time so that you can have your teeth whitening done and allow some time for the colour to settle and be perfect in time for your big day. You will be photographed all day and these photos will be with you forever so make sure you think about this carefully and plan ahead.

Teeth whitening is offered all over the country now and prices vary. So just start doing the research in terms of prices and the different types of teeth whitening procedure available. I also recommend booking in advance so you get the date that best suits you and your husband-to-be. Oh yes, this is for the two of you and not just the bride-to-be!

Happy planning and goodluck with the research ladies!

The Dorchester Spa

dolceSPOSA — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 13:48:30 +0000

When I was first started writing this article, I thought I wouldn’t be able to share anything useful or inspirational for brides-to-be to read. But whilst daydreaming, I actually thought that I can share to our readers where I want to be right this very moment. Okay, just to make it clear, I do not indulge on this whenever I please, but since I am feeling poorly and down with a flu, I think I can excuse myself for seriously wishing I can be at the Dorchester Spa to have my personal favourite the Dorchester Rose Ritual. It is the the ultimate relaxation and pampering treatment I feel my body needs.

I love this treatment and I highly recommend it to all our readers. They use fresh rose petals, rose scented candles and towels, rose cream and rose water for the whole spa ritual which lasts 2.5 hours. This includes a gentle exfoliation, body massage, body wrap, rose facial complemented by a hydrating rose mask and a to-die-for scalp massage. They also give you a specially made rose cake and a glass of rose champagne to enjoy at the end of the session.

Now this is what you would call an exhilarating relaxation and pampering experience. You always read bridal countdown tips on magazines and blog sites like Dolce Sposa on how to prepare your skin for the big day and this is one of those treatments absolutely suited to help you achieve the fresh, radiant and youthful glow on your wedding day. I am sure this is something you will love and enjoy. Trust me, it is addictive but worth the money especially for a once in a lifetime wedding preparation.
