A Happy, Healthy
Honeymoon Tips for Honeymoon Bliss! Now that the wedding is over, it is time to look amazing on your honeymoon! Be sure to keep these quick tips in mind to keep yourself irresistible to your new hubby!
Check Yourself!
A month before your honeymoon, schedule a doctor’s appointment for you and your fiancé. Get a wellness checkup and confirm your immunizations are up-to-date. Review with your doctor all prescriptions you take, and get refills before you leave.
Protect your skin!
Heading for the beach? Bring along a Frisbee, have fun while exercising together. Apply and reapply sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher, especially between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sunburn is painful, damages your skin, and will certainly dampen any honeymoon activities. Keep your skin gorgeous by moisturizing often - ask your hubby to help you out! Skin needs moisturizing in both warm and cold weather.
Water
Increase your water intake when engaging in physical activities, such as walking tours or while relaxing for hours in the sun. Hydrate with the recommended eight glasses a day of water, and drink bottled beverages. If traveling to a remote destination, read up on the quality of drinking water available.
Eating
So many yummy choices on the menu, it can be hard to resist the super-sized Piña Colada! Have fun and keep things balanced. If you splurge on Margaritas during lunch, skip dessert after dinner. Depending on your honeymoon destination, select foods cooked in restaurants, rather than those prepared by street vendors. Always double check your meat is properly cooked before eating.
Out Late?
If you’re out late having a great time, you may wake up to puffy eyes the next day. Do not panic! Simply chill two spoons in the refrigerator or in a cup of ice water for a few minutes, and gently place the backsides of the spoons over your eyes. Can’t find any spoons? Dip a cold washcloth into ice water and apply to your face for 5-10 minutes. Offer some spoons or cold washcloths to your hubby, he may need them too!
Relax!
Finally, some time together, enjoy it! Disconnect from work and social media. It takes three to four days to unwind. Completely recharge yourselves and get plenty of Z’s. Just remember when you return from your honeymoon, the post-wedding buzz will begin! Mary Beth Zaber, R.N., B.S.N. P.I.N.K.E.D! Brides pinkedbrides.com 94 | beautifulbridemagazine.com
