Georgia Clarke | Kalon Parlour | www.kalonparlour.co.uk RESET AND RESTORE Q – Planning a wedding can be quite stressful. What advice can you give me to make sure that my body and mind are restored in the run up to our big day? Take some time out every day – even if it’s just half an hour – to reset and restore your mind. Do something that makes YOU happy, after all, this is all about you! Regardless of your favourite way to relax and decompress, make sure you’re doing it and doing it often. Light a candle, meditate, book a relaxing treatment, and set aside a few moments to unwind. Whatever brings you joy and relaxation, embrace it and make it a top priority. Start each morning saying powerful statements out loud that are positive and selfencouraging. It can be anything from “I am calm, focused and present,” to “every day I feel more and more relaxed about planning my wedding”. These sentences are what you want to feel, stated in the present tense. Start to acknowledge your own beauty and that will help you to feel strong and beautiful both inside and out ready for your big day. Sarah Jones St John | Grey Wolfe https://greywolfe.co.uk A HELPING HAND Q – My nails are usually quite short, but I want to go all out for our wedding. Can you give me some bridal nail inspiration? The best way to prepare and get those hands wedding-ready, is to have a course of luxury manicures. The difference between a luxury manicure and a classic manicure is that the whole hand is treated and pampered. Not only are we improving the nails, but we’re also making the hands look soft and moisturised. This would consist of a three-weekly treatment where nails are cut and filed to your desired shape and length, dry or stray bits of cuticles will be pushed back and removed and your hands be exfoliated and massaged with top quality products. Then the fun part is to try different colours and designs. By having a course of treatments you’ll be able test out different styles. A natural sparkly French manicure always looks beautiful with some subtle nail art, or why not go all out and add diamonds for that finishing touch or opt for a bright shade to make your hands stand out? If you’re wanting to add length, you could also have acrylic nail extensions. Acrylic gives strength so you can be sure they won’t break on your honeymoon.
