HI THERE, BEAUTIFUL BRIDES-TO-BE!
If I know one thing, it’s that every woman wants to look and feel amazing on her wedding day. They want skin that glows, hair that shines, and a body that rocks. But far too many women are going about it all wrong—and it’s backfiring. From crash-dieting and crazy fitness fads that leave brides’ hair falling out, skin dull and drab, and energy levels in the gutter; to poor beauty choices, like scheduling a last-minute facial, rocking red nail polish, or getting a spray tan (more on all these later!), it’s no wonder that, come wedding day, so many brides look and feel far from their radiant selves. And, well, I’m here to fix all that!
The most common question I get from readers of TheBeautyBean.com, is related to their upcoming nuptials. From what diet they should follow and when they should get their hair colored to tips on how to pick the most flattering dress and pose perfectly in pictures, brides want to know it all. You want to know it all! (It’s why you picked up this book, isn’t it?)
As I started receiving more and more e-mails, tweets, and Facebook messages, I knew I needed to find a solution. At first, I tried tracking down the best wedding bloggers, with the hopes of directing all the desperate brides-to-be there, but came up short. Too many of them were merely telling other brides what they had done, what makeup they wore, how they styled their hair, but it failed to take into account the fact that not all of their readers have the same taste, budget, skin tone, hair texture or length, or any number of other factors in common. So, I hit up my local bookstore. I scoured the shelves thinking I would be able to find the ultimate guide for the soon-to-be-Mrs. but instead I found shelves lined with books designed to help you plan the perfect party (some with mention of your hair, makeup, and dress), but none designed just for you, the bride.
So, I did what I’ve always done when confronted with the realization that something necessary doesn’t exist and that I’m uniquely qualified to create it: I DIY’d it—and now, beautiful ladies, it’s in your hands.
As a longtime beauty editor, the creator of the popular online women’s magazine TheBeautyBean.com, and a beauty expert (as seen on Today, E! News, The Doctors, and more), I know (almost!) all there is to know about makeup, skincare, and hair. As a certified holistic health coach, I know (almost!) everything you need to know about dieting for your big day and eating for beauty. And, with a “do-it-yourself” (or DIY) focus (it is, after all, why Access Hollywood named me the “Female Beauty MacGyver”), my goal is to always give you the tools so you can do it all yourself!
Here you have it: the only bridal book designed just for you, the bride.
In Radiant Bride, you’ll find everything you need to know to radiate on your wedding day. In this book, you have access to me: your own customizable and personal nutritionist, trainer, fashion stylist, beauty expert, life coach, and more.
First up, you’ll learn how to show off that sparkling new ring of yours and make your hands look their best. You know, so you can send the prettiest of pictures to your friends and family to share the good news. (Or just brag to your Facebook “friends.”) Then, we’ll tackle what I know all brides (or at least the vast majority) are concerned with: getting into fighting shape. To ensure you hit all your diet and fitness goals, I’ve created the Radiant Bride Detox + Diet, based on my practice as a holistic health coach, certified by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. It starts with a twenty-one-day detox and ends with you knowing the best long-term diet for you. This isn’t a cookie-cutter diet (because when was the last time you heard of a single diet that actually worked for everyone?!); it’s an in-depth, fully personalized plan that is guaranteed to work unlike any other diet you’ve tried. And then, of course, we’ll tone with my tried-and-tested workouts designed to get you the biggest bang for your buck, by targeting your workouts to the body parts you’re showing off in the dress of your dreams. But don’t worry, this won’t be all work and no play. I will also show you how to party your heart out for your bachelorette without blowing your diet or looking and feeling like crap the next day.
And for when you head out dress shopping (with this book in tow!), I’ll break down how to pick out the most flattering wedding-dress style and shade of white for your body and skin tone, so you can confidently strut down the aisle. And, of course, you’ll also learn how to take care of your beauty routine—including the products you need to toss and the new ones you need for your specific skin type so you radiate from today until well past your wedding day.
But that’s not all.
In the pages of this book, you’ll also get access to all my insider tips to help you seamlessly schedule all your prenuptial appointments and all my industry secrets to ensure you can handle any last-minute beauty or fashion emergency. There’s a whole chapter for grooms, too (the rest of the book, however, is just for the ladies). And when the big day’s done, I won’t leave you hanging. I have you covered for your honeymoon and your happily ever after, too! Bottom line: this is the book you need to ensure you (and not just your centerpieces) radiate on the wedding day.
So, soon-to-be-Mrs.: Let’s get started!
Love,
Alexis
