Magical Moments

 

Day 1
It's 7am 22 September 2018 I was woken up by my family singing and dancing to Brenda Fassie "its a wedding day" the vibe in our house totally filled me with Joy and excitement. Cupcakes family came to finish the lobola, my mummy tearing up as everything is concluded and my new family claiming me as their daughter.

My Special Day

I was going for a romantic look. My dress from whimsical bridal was lace, diamonds and beads with a long trail.
Hair romantic waves
Makeup I don't wear makeup this was my biggest challenge but my makeup artist Phuti and Lorraine both from clinique put me at ease. We went for a natural glow look with strong red lip. All my jewellery was from Lovisa. My lingerie is from Lasenza

My Bridal Beauty Regime

I got a personal trainer Melissa who was featured in women's health and finalist for face of USN. She pushed me beyond my limits but it was all worth it. Sunday afternoon was our down time, face mask, full body salt scrub, foot soak and mud masks. I had monthly appointments with placecol wonderboom junction for vitamin c facial and manicure. I started drinking cucumber water (yummy ) took my vitamins and started eating breakfast oats and muslie I also started making smoothies my favourite is my berries,yogurt, mint and spinach.
