New Romantics
February 18, 2007 | 12:00am
Love is in the air. In the month of love, one can’t help but be mesmerized just by the thought of romance. Isn’t it a great mood to be in especially if you’re preparing for a date  blind date or altar date?
It takes a little effort to achieve the "romantic look." First of all, you have to be open to change to have "new" and fresh look.
Especially for the bride, I think she should always stand out in the crowd and most of all, in group photos. The bride is the star  period. So it goes without saying that she should look different from everyone. Aside from her dream wedding dress or evening gown, her hair and makeup should also help "complete" the romantic look.
Before any big day, it’s best to really prepare and try to find the time to do it. So first things first:
1. Try to prepare at least two weeks before your big date.... and at least six months if you’re a bride-to-be.
2. For your two-week preparation, you should exercise, get enough rest and sleep and eat healthy.
• Get your facial on the first week. Your skin needs at least a week to heal and restore itself from the facial.
• Get your nails done. This is a must. Bad nails are a big turn-off.
• Schedule for waxing (arms, legs, etc).
• Have your hair blow-dried and treated.
• If you can, get a whole body massage.
3. For your six-month preparation, you have a lot of time to shed off unwanted pounds. Only if you have to.
• Enroll in a gym or get a program like yoga, Pilates or boxing. Trust me, the outcome is incredible especially if you are wearing a dress with open and dramatic neckline as this will also highlight your toned arms. But you need to set your mind to it.
• Prepare your skin from head to toe if possible. Get body scrubs, I assure you, you’ll love the results.
• Avail of facial treatments (like diamond peels, etc).
Get the look:
1. Cleanse. Tone and moisturize if needed.
2. Groom eyebrows.
3. Apply foundation.
4. Set with loose powder.
To achieve the look of romance is not only completing your physical appearance but also your spirit, your mood. Why not relax, de-stress, pamper yourself, soak in a tub filled with bubbles and light those aromatherapy candles and let time fly and quiet your mind. Have a good and healthy meal, get enough sleep and if you get a chance, escape and look for a great relaxing place to rejuvenate yourself. A paradise that is truly amazing and relaxing is the Boutique Bed and Breakfast in Tagaytay. It’s a great way to find tranquility. It’s a place where upon waking up, you’ll feel like you’re in heaven.
A well-pampered and prepared lady exudes the greatest and most powerful sex appeal there is because she is relaxed, confident and ready for anything.
It would be a great start to have cocktails, a quiet candlelight dinner and dessert under the moon. Wake up the following day to the smell of invigorating coffee then watch the sunrise. With a mood like this, and a great romantic look, making this month a special one to remember is no longer a dream.
