I was engaged 14 months before my actual wedding day. It sounds like a lot of time to prep, right? Wrong. Every bride feels like she has more time to plan than she actually does, especially in the beginning. This all comes crashing down when she suddenly wakes up and it\u2019s 4 month\u2019s out. Time really really really<\/em> flies.<\/p>\n

The summer leading up to the wedding was crazy. I was traveling a lot over June and July and was barely even at home in New York. The last 3 weeks in July I traveled to 4 separate counties, attended 3 different weddings and by the time I returned home at the end of the month, my head was spinning. I decided to go all in and order the 21-day clean program cleanse, which is my absolute favorite. I had been drinking like a fish so I was ready for a full detox.<\/p>\n

Other than my cleanse, I wanted to give you all the beauty secrets that helped me get ready for the day when I needed to seriously<\/em> glow and feel confident. Check out my 8-step plan below.<\/p>\n

WELLNESS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Clean Program<\/em>. I love the\u00a0Clean Program<\/a>\u00a0so much that I ended up doing it for six weeks leading up to the wedding.\u00a0It was super intense, but worth it.<\/p>\n

The cleanse goes something like this. You have a shake in the morning a clean, hearty, protein filled meal for lunch and another shake for dinner. You also take probiotics and supplements at every meal. For lunch I would have a big leafy green salad with scallions, avocado and cold water-packed tuna with balsamic and olive oil or a piece of salmon, grilled vegetables or saut\u00e9ed spinach. I would try to mix it up but I am such a boring eater so I didn\u2019t really mind eating the same thing every day.<\/p>\n

If I had a dinner or something at night that I couldn\u2019t drink my smoothie, I would plan for it and drink two smoothies during the day and have my clean meal at night.<\/p>\n

When you are on the clean program, there is a whole list of foods you have to eliminate. For example, you can eat whole fish, organic chicken and turkey, but you can\u2019t eat strawberries, gluten, dairy, eggs or proceeded sugar. You also can\u2019t have coffee or alcohol.<\/p>\n

But let me tell you, I\u2019ve never felt better. Disclaimer: I did<\/em> drink coffee, but drank it with unsweetened almond milk and stevia, which are both allowed.<\/p>\n

Vitamins<\/em>.\u00a0I took biotin for my hair and nails everyday. There is nothing quite like this all-natural supplement.<\/p>\n

Beauty Elixirs<\/em>. I love Raw Complexions<\/a> the Beauty Pack because it includes everything your body needs to glow from the inside out. I hate having to buy all those different additives. This is like an all-in-one. I also added\u00a0Moon Juice Beauty Dust<\/a>\u00a0into my morning smoothies because why not.<\/p>\n

Body Vibes<\/em><\/a>. These super vibe stickers, whether they were\u00a0the placebo effects or the real thing, got me though the emotional rollercoaster that was my wedding.<\/p>\n
