Here’s what one of my lovely brides from July this year has to say about her hair and makeup for her wedding day.

Let’s face it, as we get older we can no longer get away with the things we once did for example drinking on a school night, skipping on sun cream and essential skincare and for most women like me, getting away with wearing zero makeup.
But what are you supposed to do when you’ve got kiddies to look after, a household to keep in shape and a busy work schedule to juggle, finding time to yourself is impossible. Well I’ve put together a quick 2 Min No-makeup Makeup routine especially designed for busy-mums or those who can spare very little time on their makeup in the mornings.
Step 1 – dab a little concealer under the eyes (or where needed)
Step 2 – a large kabuki brush apply a thin layer of mineral foundation (or liquid)
Step 3 – using an angled brush apply black/brown shadow to fill brows
Step 4 – using same brush apply a little of the shadow close to the lash line (or pencil)
Step 5 – apply a little mascara
Step 6 – Dust blush or bronzer on the face (concentrating on cheeks)
Step 7 – apply lipstick or gloss of your choice
Quick and easy, you’ll feel awake and ready to face the world!
Products used

Olive Oil & Salt Body S
crub
Here’s a natural way of exfoliating and preparing the skin for the spring/summer months. These basic ingredients can be found in almost all kitchen cupboards, though having the best ingredients you can afford does make a difference. Try to use extra virgin Olive Oil and sea salt (not vegetable oil and table salt!)
Preparation time is minutes and the results are amazing, use this scrub once every two weeks or as needed. You can substitute the salt for raw cane sugar if you have sensitive skin.
Ingredients
½ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons rock salt/sugar
Preparation method
Mix the ingredients in a small bowl, mix into an almost past like consistency. You will need to crush the salt with a pestle so the mixture is easy to handle and rub into the skin.
Standing in the shower apply the mixture directly onto dry skin and massage lightly (don’t over scrub) rinse off with warm water. Your skin should feel as smooth as silk.
There are many oils and salts to choose from so why not experiment till you find the right one for you!
