I am not the type to give out beauty tips. I sort of know how to apply makeup, but not any better than anyone else, and I’m painfully lazy, so I usually only put on the bare minimum. But this morning, I realized something, something very important to looking my best on my wedding day. And I need to share.

See, I started a new job this week, and things have been CRAY-ZAY. I’m not complaining—it’s been tons of fun so far, but it’s been busy busy busy! I’ve been working long hours and even though I’m exhausted at night, my mind is usually so active that I can’t sleep very well.

And the result of that is that, for the past few days, I looked like this:

Okay, okay, I exaggerate. But seriously, my skin was dull, my eyes were bloodshot, and a bucket of concealer wouldn’t have hidden the dark circles under my eyes. I was haggard.

Last night, finally, finally, I got home at a reasonable hour and slept for a full eight hours. And this morning, I looked like this:

Well… as close to this as a 35 year-old woman can look, anyway.

My point is: GET A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP. That is my first, best and only wedding day beauty tip.

A good night’s sleep did wonders for me, so I’m going to do everything possible to ensure that I sleep well the night before the wedding. It’s going to be hard with all of the stress and excitement, but I’m going to try my damnedest, so that I can be as fresh-faced as possible for the wedding.

Do you look raggedy when you don’t sleep well for a few days? How are you going to ensure a good night’s sleep the night before your wedding?
