Cocktails with the girls
With D-Day soon approaching the first thing you need to do is make good use of all the time you have right now to catch up with the girls—and there’s no catch-up quite without cocktails and you’ll certainly be needing it! Ask the bar attender to whip you a sweet delight using fresh fruit juice so it’s still healthy. Kinda. Trust us that little bit of sheer happiness—will leave you in glowing.

Couples Massage is the key
All that talk about staying away from your husband-to-be is utter nonsense. In fact, the lack of communication is what always causes problems on the big day, so find some time to relax with your sweetheart and a couples massage will do that while putting you both in a fabulous, calm mode of zen—after which you can catch some lunch and talk about all the things that are driving you crazy. You’ll finish off with a clear idea in terms of what needs to be done, forget all the other insignificant nuances, and your skin will be left absolutely glowing.

Catch some me-time with a relaxing asana
With family and relatives flying in from every part of the country—me-time is an all-time necessity. Go up to the terrace of your building or the nearest jogger’s part and breathe. The second you stop breathing, you stop thinking. Practice the yoga asana that instantly puts your to ease, stretch out those tense muscles and breathe. You don’t need us to tell you that, that is what is going to make the next couple of days a breeze and clear out any blemish on your skin.

K3G is on—and it’s time you embrace it with the better half
