Blooming flowers & therapy day
It has been a very productive day in many ways. Made a visit to the hotel to discuss our timeline for decisions on the menu selection, decorations, food tasting and music licensing permit for the wedding.
Then I went to a florist and was quite impressed with the selection of flowers available. They're quite reasonably priced, for loose stalks at least. I was thrilled to find all the flowers we had in mind readily available - tulips and an assortment of lilies - white calla lily bulbs, white lilies and stargazer lilies. I would have loved to stay longer to look through all the flowers but it was cold in that highly air-conditioned "flower-supermarket". But at least now I know where to find what we want.
Next, I headed for my facial appointment. I can't remember the last time I did one. I'm not a regular at any form of therapy. But since I've been told my skin is dehydrated, I had to start doing something about it now. The beautician didn't think I started early enough, so she worked on me for 2 hours using an intensive hydrating mask she called "quenching thirst". It's the first time I've had a mask made of yogurt put on me. I really enjoyed it.
At the end of the session, she gave me some cream for the eyes and lips, and a blemish control to apply daily. She'll work on the hydrating process and eye treatment once every 3 weeks but I've got to keep my side of the bargain by doing my homework - apply those cream diligently. At the end of it all, she offered me advise on the most natural and free skincare regime to help create a radiant look - drink lots of water, sleep early and be happy. She also suggested an all-time "beauty diet" to follow - less chillies, no cold drinks, less coffee.
During the 2-hour session, we chatted and the topic of makeup come about. It turns out that they do bridal makeup too, and was featured in The Wedding Book. Just then, I recall seeing it in my copy. After seeing more samples and knowing some of their previous happy clients, we're arranging for a trial for both makeup and hairdo, complete with whatever tiara or pearl-drop pins I want. I hope this one works out so that I'll have one less thing to worry about.
On the other side, my better half went home to Muar to see to a couple of things. Little by little, we're starting to put in place all the jigsaw pieces to make this real. As much work as it is to organize a wedding, I think I'll miss all these activities once our big day is done with.
