Get Glowing: PRE-HOLIDAY BEAUTY MAINTENANCE
Before jetting off on holiday there is always an endless list of things to do and beauty admin is a top priority, especially now when I can finally share I am pregnant so my bikini body is a little different this year… I want to feel the best I can and that requires being on top of my beauty maintenance. Don’t get me wrong, I do usually have a list of pre-holiday fashion purchases I want to make such as new swimwear, cover ups and sunglasses… but my main priority is my beauty routine maintenance and my beauty products. Sharing my tried and true recommendations that have my glowing on every holiday, year-round.
1. TAN
Miranda Rigg is my go-to for tanning, I have been loving her tans this summer. With a brush, there’s no need for a tent or holding my breath! The tan is safe during pregnancy, she can contour you and you glow for days, plus there is no weird smell or transfer onto clothes either, a huge bonus. Appointments can be made via her email: mirandarigg@googlemail.com and she comes to the comfort of your own home. Cost: £120.00
If you are last minute or don't have much time - try the spray tan machine at The Tanning Shop. You’ll be in and out within 20 minutes! Just be prepared to concentrate on your positions to not double one side…learn from my mistakes, I have done this before!
2. LASHES
Lashes by Hema is my go to for all things lashes. When I am pregnant I cannot live without my lashes, it’s that bit of glam that makes me look fresh even on tired morning. When I’m experiencing the hyper- pigmentation on my face that flares up, I’ll take anything to make me feel more put together… and for me that’s definitely lashes!
3. Eyebrows
I have been threading my eyebrows for over a decade and would never go back to waxing or plucking. I love the shape it gives…Especially with a good tint. If you want someone that is super efficient, flexible with times and can home visit, check out Guita: 07931921759.
4. nails
I am loving a consistent and chic french manicure this summer, whether its biosculpture or CND… a thin lined french manicure with a pinky/white base coat. A classic for a reason! I trust my manicure in the capable hands of either…
Pretty Nails Gloucester Road - Amy is amazing!
Georgia Rae - Check out her Instagram to book.
5. wax
I am old school and haven’t converted to laser hair removal just yet… I actually went for my patch test 2 weeks before finding out I was pregnant, believe it or not. So it’s still good ol’ fashioned waxing for me! I have been going to STRIP Chelsea for many years and haven’t ventured out - I have sometimes booked home visits with Ruuby App but generally I like prefer visiting STRIP for the convenience. They do a great, quick job and as pain free as possible.
