Fun Things to Do in February
1. Valentine's Day Date Ideas: Celebrate the month of love with unique and memorable experiences. From romantic candlelit dinners to cozy movie nights at home with a popcorn station & hot cocoa bar, there are endless ways to create cherished memories with your partner. Don’t be afraid to let Valentine’s Day spill over to more than one day. Also, if you are feeling overwhelmed about one-upping years to come. My husband and I take turns on who plans Valentine’s Day and our wedding Anniversary. This is so nice, because we alternate years, and it allows us both an opportunity to be creative, take charge in planning the surprise and honestly take a break from planning the surprise! Give that a try!
2. Wedding Vendor Showcases: Use this month to attend wedding vendor showcases, bridal expos & Venue open houses in your area. These events are perfect for discovering new trends, connecting with vendors, and finding inspiration for your big day.
Trendy Health and Beauty Tips
1. Skincare Routine: As a bride-to-be, you want your skin to glow on your wedding day. Consider incorporating a consistent skincare routine that includes proper cleansing, moisturizing, and regular exfoliation. Don't forget to drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet for that radiant bridal glow. I recommend if you are going to try something new or make any changes to your skin care routine, that you do this at least 2-3 months minimum before your wedding. Many times, when you start using good skin care it brings up that stuff that has been hiding below the surface and you don’t want to deal with that a few weeks before your wedding day. Also, think about sensitive skin, so you might have to try more than one brand. Consult a professional and you too will have that dewy radiant glow!
2. Mindfulness and Stress Relief: Wedding planning can sometimes be overwhelming. Prioritize self-care by practicing mindfulness techniques like meditation or yoga. Find moments to relax and destress, ensuring you feel your best throughout the planning process. I know you have heard this but drink tons of water. Like tons! Staying hydrated is so beneficial. Helps so you don’t get sick, helps elevate headaches, stay regular, the list goes on and on! Okay and last one… shameless plug but honestly, hire a planner! This is money well spent. I cannot tell you how many times I hear, “you were a lifesaver” or “I could not have done this without you”. I have never ever heard, “wish I did hire a planner” or “that was a waste of money” And if you have it all together, please hire a month of manager (which some still call a day of coordinator) This person will allow you the affordability to actually enjoy your day and mingle with your guests!
Don’t try any new skin care routine right before your wedding. If you are going to do it. Do it at least 2-3 months prior!
