Sexy Fun On The Beach for Couples
Ball games and frisbees are boring. Check out this naughty list of wild things you can do and redefine how to have sexy fun on the beach for couples
There's something about a beach that makes it a big turn on for just about anyone.It's romantic, fun, and erotic.And that makes fun on the beach a heady cocktail of lust and sexual desires for couples and singles alike.When was the last time you had a wild time having fun on the beach?It was probably out with a huge group of friends, or late at night while having sex with your partner.Real fun on the beach for couplesFrom our past lessons on having fun on the beach, we've seen that you can have fun in a crowded place, being the centre of attention. Or, you can do it discreetly, while having sex in a quiet hideaway. But seriously though, that's not much of a turn on though, is it?Hiding it and doing the deed can be fun the first few times, but can get quite monotonous and boring after a while.While you're on a beach in the middle of your vacation, have fun and remember that no one knows you. And whatever happens in the vacation stays in the vacation, other than the memories and the thrills, of course. Here is a list of sizzling naughty tips to turn you and your partner on, and increase your libido all at once.10 sexy tips to have more fun on the beachWho says you need counseling to reignite your passion?Here are ten guaranteed ways to ignite your passion while having fun on the beach. Dive right in and change your sex lives forever!# 1 Play around in the waterWe don't mean the regular fun and games of splashing around. Think like frisky bunnies and fool around in the blue waters. It doesn't matter who's around as long as you're moderately discreet. Let your hands slip and slide all over each other, paying special attention to well concealed areas.# 2 Don't wear underwearA beach isn't all about the water. So if you're planning to stay on the shore for a couple of hours, make it a point to go commando. It feels liberating and daring, and yet, no one knows it but you and your partner. And the cool sea breeze can do wonders between those legs too!# 3 Make out in publicWe all love a bit of public display of affection, but while you're indulging in this, watch out for the public display of affection etiquette. Kissing and letting your hands run in a vacation spot is acceptable and enjoyed by other vacationers, and it's psychologically a huge turn on for the couple too.# 4 Get an outdoor full body massageFull body massages are relaxing and invigorating. They can be a great warm up to sex or a relaxing way to end the shagathon. When you get a full massage outdoors from a masseur of the opposite sex, it usually ends up with a tingle in the loins. A stranger's hands running all over your naked body while your partner watches you will only make your partner desire and want you more! Wear revealing clothesWhen you're vacationing at a beach spot, going commando can be a personal secret, but there's a bolder way to get those desires burning. You can't really wear the skimpiest clothing around your neighborhood, but you can wear them away to full glory when you're at a beach getaway. Your partner can see you, your sexy cleavage and those oh-so-hot shorts in full public view, but yet, can't really have sex with you right there. And this carnal frustration will only increase the sexual passion and the desire to rip those clothes off the minute you guys get some alone-time.
Now, we're nowhere near done with having fun on the beach. Click here to read the next 5 bolder tips you can indulge in while having fun on the beach in sexy couples on the beach.
7 Ways To Totally Make Your Roommate Think You're Having Sex
Does your roommate think you're not cool cause you do not have sex all the time? That's a very judgemental roommate. But do not worry, here's how you can make it sound like you're having sex all the time so they think you're as cool as a guy who has sex all the time.
Classic tactic. Just hop on your bed and wiggle around on it to make it sound like you are doin 'it. It is going to feel weird, true, but it'll sound like you have a really healthy sex life and your roommate is gonna be impressed.
Purely from cultural association, if you blast some sexy R & B tunes, your roomie is gonna think you are in there making real sensual and passionate love. This is an easy one and will also open you up to some new music, which is good.
Say out loud, very loud, stuff like, "the safeword is dunkaroos," and "we can not have sex again, it's too many times today!" When your roomie hears this stuff they are gonna say, "Wow, my roommate has a really active and thriving sex live." And you can keep just hanging out in your room.
oad up "When Harry Met Sally," right to that orgasm scene and let her rip. Your roommate will hear and think, "damn, they are good at sex." Just make sure you stop it before that old lady talks because she will give away the rouse.
One of the more aggressive choices and a step further than the previous option, this one will definitely get the job done. Be sure to pick a type of porn that reflects your actual sexual desires and practices, just because might as well keep the lie close to home, ya know? But after your roomie hears that porn and thinks it's you, you are gonna be seen as a sex master.
hat's right, get some rodents. Gerbils, hamsters, rabbits or guinea pigs will work. When your roommate is within earshot, rile those lil guys up and get em squeakin '. It's gonna sound like you're having a wild time in the sack, and your roommate will know you mean business.
Get a big tub of cottage cheese, post up by the door and chew away. You may feel sick after, but keep a spit bucket right next to you and spit the cheese out, that's another sound your roommate will hear and think, "Man, there is some real sloppy dirty sex going on in there. I respect it. "Make sure to throw the cheese out soon after otherwise it will smell terrible.

How to Dress for Sex
How to Dress for Sex
Dressing up is fun, especially if you're going to take it all off slowly. Want to know how to dress for sex and make a great impression too?
Sex is spontaneous and not always something that's planned.But at times, especially when you've been doing the bang bang for a
while, you need a little variety to bring the sizzle back in bed.If you're looking for a quickie or a spontaneous shagathon, it's hard
to plan anything fancy other than who gets the clothes off first.But if you want to arouse your man and turn him on even before he gets into bed, here's your guide on how to dress for sex.The actual act of sex may be the cherry on top, but if you know how to
keep your man all high and horny even when you just walk around him,
use these tips and see the difference.How to dress for sexUnderstanding how to dress for sex and look good in bed is easy, but
to turn on the sexual tension in your man, you need to feel good in your
attire.Men may like a coy woman in bed, but they wouldn't really appreciate a nervous wreck who feels awkward and uncomfortable.Here are the best attires that you could wear to bed and warm up his flag pole even before touching him.# 1 See through shirtsThe art of seduction isn't about revealing all, but knowing how to cover it all and yet make a man feel like he's seen it all.The next time you're dressing for bed, wear something that'll reveal all without showing anything. A thin tee or a plain white see-through shirt can be such a turn on for any guy. While some girls like Lindsay Lohan may love wearing them all the
time, you can use this when you're watching a movie with your man or
just hanging out with him.Want to turn him on just a bit more? Let your nipples stick out and enhance your beautiful curves. He wouldn't be able to contain or explain his wide grin without grabbing you in his arms!# 2 Soft fabricsOne of the things men like most in women is the softness of a woman's skin. Remember the first time your man touched the skin on your back or on your legs? The soft, supple feel of a woman's body is an instant turn on for any man.Remind him of the texture of your skin without really letting his hands get under your shirt. Wear nightwear that's made of soft fabrics like satin or silk. Every time he touches you, he'd want more, especially if you let him run his hands all over your curves.# 3 Seductive lingerie and lacesDon't want to play subtle bed games? Well, you can't get any better than this when it comes to knowing how
to dress for sex and letting him know you have something sexy on your
mind.Pick up some really sexy lingerie in bold colors, like red or black. Men can't take their eyes off a mannequin wearing lingerie, do you really think he'd be able to resist you?Bold
lacy or satiny lingerie is an instant turn on for any man, just as long
as you know how to bend and pout when he's watching you. Va va voom, girl!# 4 Loose fitting and draped clothesNow almost always, the first synonym that women use with loose fitting clothes is ill fitting clothes. But it doesn't always have to be that way. Loose fitting clothes that can be draped like a kimono or a sari are actually some of the sexiest dresses a woman can wear.A short soft robe that's loosely draped around your body is one of the sexiest things to wear to bed. You don't reveal much unless you bend low or lift your knee. The occasional little sneak peeks will definitely distract your man even if he's hooked to the television on game night.# 5 Cute girl clothesCute is sexy. And men love cute!You don't really need to dress up like an anime doll to sexually draw your man into bed. Of course, if you'd be willing to dress like a sexy barbie or a hentai girl after dark, all points to you. But if you want to arouse your man each time you walk across him, slip
on your cutest boy shorts and a little tee shirt and watch your man
grow in his shorts.Men miss their youth and want a little minx who can dress cute and sexy in a tank top and underwear now and then. It's a huge turn on. After all, they get to make out with a girl who dresses up like one of those sexy girls dancing around in a rap video. And which guy wouldn't have second glanced at those girls on the telly more than once?
But a word of caution here, if you feel awkward dressing up in one of those cute little outfits, stay away from them. A woman who feels awkward and unsexy while walking around in a little
underwear is more of a turn off than a turn on for any guy.# 6 Role playing costumesIf you want to know how to dress for sex and get your man's imagination running wild, then this is it. Is your guy into role playing? Or does he like any comic character or character in a show?If he does, then you'd definitely be able to give him a wild night of passion and orgasms. There's nothing sexier than playing out a secret fantasy. Dress up like his favorite character and call out from bed. He's going to fling his clothes and go 'boing!' even before you explain what's on your mind!
Try these six attires in bed and bring the excitement back into bed. And now that you know how to dress for sex, use these tips and add your own accessories that you know your man will love. Hand cuffs or whips, girls?!

What REALLY makes a woman? want to sleep with a man
What REALLY makes a woman? want to sleep with a man
What makes a woman want to sleep with a man? Is it true that a chap can laugh a woman into bed? Does he need to be tall, dark and handsome to stand any chance at all?
Today,
in the second extract from the new book Why Women Have Sex, by
psychologists Cindy Meston and David Buss, we reveal the features that
make a man appeal to a woman, and why, are far more fascinating and
complex than you could ima
Rules of attraction: A fascinating guide to the complex features that will make a man appeal to a woman
SIZE MATTERS
What sort of body does a woman find desirable? Perhaps the most obvious physical characteristic she looks for in a man is height.
Studies consistently find that women consider tall men to be attractive. In analyses of personal ads, 80 per cent of women state they want to meet a man who is 6ft or taller.
Men who indicate in their personal ads that they are tall have also been shown to receive far more responses from women.
Other studies show women prefer tall men as husbands and put an even greater emphasis on height in shorter-term sex partners. Women even place importance on height when selecting sperm donors.
Two studies also found that taller-than-average men tend to have a
greater number of live-in girlfriends and more children, confirming
their popularity for romance and reproduction.
And there does seem to be an underlying logic in women's preference for tall men. In Western cultures, tall men tend to have higher socio-economic status than short men.
Each added inch of height has been shown to add several thousand pounds to a man's annual salary.
It is estimated that, on average, 6ft men earn more than £ 100,000 across a 30-year career than 5ft 5in men.
They
also tend to be healthier than shorter men - and if they're policemen,
they get assaulted less than their shorter colleagues, which suggests
height commands more respect from other men. What more could a girl want?
THE SCENT OF SEX
According to new scientific research, a woman will literally sniff out
a man's genetic make-up before she decides if he's right for her.
A woman's sense of smell reaches a peak around the time of her
ovulation, the 24-hour window-during the monthly menstrual cycle in
which she can become pregnant.
The genes responsible for fighting off disease-causing bacteria and
viruses are found in a group of genes called the major
histocompatibility complex, or MHC.
Different people have various versions of these genes - and it turns
out that women can benefit in two ways from mating with men whose MHC
genes are dissimilar to their own.
Such a mate is likely to have more dissimilar genes in general, so
finding someone dissimilar attractive might help to prevent many of the
birth defects associated with reproducing with close genetic relatives.Sexy voice: Voice pitch is the most striking feature of human speech
A second benefit is any children of such a union will have a more robust immune system.
The interesting thing is that women seem to be able to sniff out men with dissimilar MHC.
In
a revealing study, Brazilian researchers asked 29 men to wear cotton
skin patches for five days to absorb their sweat - and thus their body
odours.
A sample of 29 women then smelled each cotton patch and evaluated the odour on a scale from attractive to unattractive.
Scientists identified the specific MHC complex of each man and woman through blood tests. Women found the aromas of men who had a complex dissimilar to their own to be the most desirable.
The odours of men who had a complex similar to their own made them recoil in disgus
This highly developed sense of smell can have a profound effect on women's sexuality.
Evolutionary psychologist Christine Garver-Apgar studied MHC similarity in 48 couples.
They found that as the degree of similarity between each woman and man
increased, the woman's sexual responsiveness to her partner decreased.
Women whose partners had similar genes reported wanting to have sex less often. They had less motivation to please their partner sexually compared to the women going out with men with dissimilar genes.
Women with MHC-similar partners also reported more frequent sexual
fantasies about other men, particularly at the most fertile phase of
their ovulation cycle.
And their sexual fantasies about other men did not just remain in their heads. They also reported higher rates of sexual infidelity.
FIT FOR SEX
Height is not the only aspect of men's bodies that excites women.
Studies of mate preferences reveal that women desire strong, muscular,
athletic men for long-term partnerships as well as for sexual liaisons.
Most women also show a distinct preference for a V-shaped torso - broad shoulders relative to hips. They are also attracted to a lean stomach combined with a muscular (but not muscle-bound) upper torso.
In fact, both sexes judge men with a high shoulder-to-hip ratio to be more physically and socially dominant.
This may give a clue to its appeal, since women are not attracted to
men who appear as though they could be easily dominated by other men.
Men with a high shoulder-to-hip ratio begin having sexual intercourse at an early age - 16 or younger
They report having more sex partners than their slim-shouldered peers. But be warned: they have more affairs while in a relationship.
And they report more instances of being chosen by women who are already in relationships for affairs on the side.
Scientific research, though, has discovered that men overestimate the
degree of muscularity that women find attractive, assuming they need to
pump iron and sport a honed six-pack to be attractive.
Images of muscle-bound men have almost certainly fostered men's
misperception of what women find most sexually attractive - just as
photo spreads of impossibly thin models have led women to overestimate
the degree of thinness that men find most attractive.
One study compared the muscularity of men's bodies in Cosmopolitan
magazine (whose readership is 89 per cent women) with Men's Health
(whose readership is 85 per cent men).
The level of muscularity in Cosmopolitan was nearly identical to that which women rate as ideal in a sexual partner. Men, in contrast, mistakenly believe women desire a more muscular sex
partner, which corresponds more closely with the muscularity of men in
Men's Health.
After viewing repeated images of V-shaped bodies, men become more
dissatisfied with their own bodies, just as women become more unhappy
with their bodies after seeing images of size zero models.
THE FACE OF ATTRACTION
When it comes to choosing between a rugged, conventionally handsome
man and an ordinary, less attractive partner, women have a difficult
choice to make.
In a series of scientific studies, women found square-jawed, masculine
faces to be the sexiest and the most attractive for a casual sexual
encounter.
But they judged somewhat less masculine faces to be more attractive for a long-term relationship.
Women's sexual desires for testosterone-fuelled facial cues of
masculinity were especially strong during the fertile window of their
cycle.
The
most plausible interpretation of these results is that women are
attracted to men who are likely to be 'good dads' when choosing
long-term mates, but are attracted to the signals of robust health that
more masculine faces provide when they are most likely to become impregnated.
Why do more masculine faces signify health? High testosterone production actually compromises the body's immune
functioning, leaving men less able to fight off diseases and parasites
in adolescence.
Only men who are above average in healthiness during adolescence can
'afford' to produce the high levels of testosterone that masculinise the
face.
Less healthy adolescents can't afford to compromise their already
precarious immune systems, and so produce lower levels of testosterone
at precisely the time when facial bones take their adult form.
So, a masculine-looking face signals a man's health, his ability to
succeed in competing with other men and his ability to protect.
This interpretation, however, raises a puzzle: Why wouldn't women be
attracted to highly masculine males for all mating relationships, from
dangerous liaisons through to life-long love?
The answer lies in the fact that the more masculine men, with more testosterone, tend to be less sexually faithful.
They are more likely to be the risk-taking, womanising bad boys among the male population.
Consequently, most women face a trade-off: if they choose the less
masculine-looking man, they are likely to get a better father and
sexually loyal mate, but they lose out in the currency of genes for good
health.
If
they choose the more masculine man, they can endow their children with
good genes for health, but must suffer the costs of a man who channels
some of his sexual energy toward other women. It's a tricky choice.
A SEXY VOICE
Voice pitch is the most striking feature of human speech and,
according to research, there is a definite sound of sexiness - something
about male voices that gives women a sexual buzz.
Before puberty, male and female voices are similar. At puberty, however, remarkable changes occur. Boys experience a dramatic increase in the length of their vocal cords, which become 60 per cent longer than those of girls.
Longer vocal cords and tracts produce a deeper, more resonant voice pitch.
Testosterone triggers the change in boys at puberty and high levels of testosterone predict deeper voices among adult men.
Recent investigations show that whether women are looking for a
short-term or long-term relationship is critical in how they choose
among men's voices.
Evolutionary anthropologist David Puts obtained voice recordings of 30
men attempting to persuade a woman to go out on a romantic date.
Then 142 heterosexual women listened to the recordings and rated each
man's attractiveness for a short-term sexual encounter and a long-term
committed relationship.
Though women said the deeper voices were more attractive in both
mating contexts, they dramatically preferred the deeper voices when
considering them as prospects for purely sexual, short-term encounters.
Moreover, women in the fertile phase of their ovulation cycle showed the strongest sexual attraction to men with deep voices.
One hint as to why this is so is found in studies of female frogs. They gravitate towards male bullfrogs with deep, resonant croaks,
which are a reliable signal - for frogs - of a mate's size and health.
Research on people has revealed two similar reasons that help to
explain why women find some men's voices much more attractive than
others.
The first involves bilateral body symmetry (when both sides of the
body are symmetrical), which is commonly accepted as a sign of good
health and good genes.
Body symmetry is also more likely to produce deep voices.
So when a woman finds the resonance of a man's voice even sexier
during her fertile, ovulatory phase, she is attracted to the sound of
healthy genes for her possible offspring
SOMETHING IN THE WAY HE MOVES
The way a person dances reveals a huge amount of information.It
broadcasts information about age - notice the difference between the
What REALLY makes a woman want to dancing prowess of younger versus older dancers. It also conveys information about energy level, health and biomechanical efficiency.
In fact, in our studies, we found that some women had sex with men simply because they'd been impressed by their dancing. Research reveals that women find certain body movements to be more attractive than others.
One study had women view digitally masked or pixellated images of men dancing. They were more attracted to men who displayed larger and more sweeping movements. They also rated these men more erotic.
Other patterns of men's movements provide women with valuable mating information. Nonreciprocal same-sex touching - when a man touches another man's back, for example - is a well-documented signal of dominance.
Women see 'touchers' as having more status, a key component of a man's mate value. Movements that maximise space, as when a man stretches his arms or extends his legs, are another dominance signal.
Those who display open body positioning - for example, by not folding
their arms across the chest - are judged to be more potent and
persuasive.
SEXY PERSONALITY
Sexual attraction isn't simply a matter of physical bodies drawn magnetically together in search of compatibility.
For some women, personality - in particular, a good sense of humour -
is equally, if not more, important in generating a sexual spark.
One indication of the importance of a good sense of humour in a man is
that it is one of the few personality traits that has its own
abbreviation in online dating sites: GSOH.
Another is that research shows married women who think their husbands
are witty are more satisfied with their marriages than women who do not.
Women rate it as a desirable trait in short-term sexual and long-term romantic relationships.
Why a sense of humour is so important in sexual attraction has been the subject of scientific debate.
One critical distinction is between humour production (making others laugh) and humour appreciation (laughing at others' jokes).
There's a sex difference - men define a woman with a good sense of humour as someone who laughs at their jokes. Men especially like women who are receptive to their humour.
Women, in contrast, are attracted to men who produce humour, and
that's true for all types of relationships, from one-night stands to
lifelong matings.
The most likely explanation for why women and men alike are attracted
to those with a sense of humour is because laughing elicits a positive
mood - it's a sign of confidence and intelligence, too.

things to 11 avoid the week before your wedding
things to 11 avoid the week before your wedding
New hair color
With just a few days left before the big day, you already have a mile-long checklist of to-dos-now meet the don'ts! From impromptu skin treatments to all-night movie marathons, here are 11 things to avoid at all costs.
"Even
if your colorist is the absolute best, avoid making changes to your
hair within a week of your wedding," says Paul Labrecque, hairstylist
and owner of Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa in New York City. "You never know how the color could oxidize or how it will look with your skin tone." If you want to refresh your hue without endangering your look, ask your colorist to put a clear gloss on your strands. "This will add a lot of shine and sheen," says Labrecque. But
if you do get mixed up with some bad color before the big day, you wont
do too much damage to your hair by getting it re-colored right away-as
long as there weren't high levels of bleach involved in the process, says Labrecque
Drastic haircuts
"Wedding
trials and consultations start about three months prior to the actual
day, and you should keep the same hairstyle throughout the process,"
says Labrecque. "Not only will the texture and
style of your hair change if you get it chopped, but keep in mind
something drastic may not look right with your dress's neckline, veil,
or wedding day jewelry." Brides own beauty
director Dana Wood suggests only going in for a quarter-inch "micro
trim" a month before your big day to snip off any fried ends. But other than that, steer clear of the shears! "No
matter how well you plan ahead there seems to always be something left
to the last minute-hair should not be one of them," says Stephanie Bork,
senior stylist at the Josè Eber Salon. "The
closer you get to the big day, the more stressed and emotional you'll
be. You want to make all of these preparations and decisions while
you're still clear headed and calm
Alcohol
For
something you sip, alcohol carries a ton of extra calories, so you may
want to cut back even earlier than the week before your wedding. As
for immediate effects, alcohol can make you look and feel puffy due its
sulfur-bearing gases and other qualities that weaken your digestive
system. (And who wants to say "I do" feeling
like a marshmallow? We thought not.) What's more, alcohol dilates your
blood vessels, which can lead to wedding picture-compromising redness,
says Debra Jaliman, MD, author of "Skin Rules : Trade Secrets from a Top New York Dermatologist
A new workout
"Stick to the routine you've been doing," says Melissa Paris, a certified group exercise instructor and Lululemon ambassador. "Now is not the time for new moves." Pulled muscles can take weeks to heal and you definitely don't want to be too sore to get down on the dance floor. If your goal is to lose weight, make sure to start a new fitness program well before your dress fittings. And if you're just looking for an amazing way to relieve pre-wedding stress grab a friend for a quick walk or run in the park. "There is something about being outside with a friend that is so helpful," says Paris
Spray tan booths
"Spray
tanning in a booth may be a budget-friendly option for a safe, sunless
glow, but there's a good chance the color you get won't match your skin
tone as well as other fake tanning alternatives," says Nina Patino, an aesthetician at Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa. Rather
than stepping into a box-which can result in uneven color if you don't
hold your body just so-it's best to have a specialist expertly apply the
tanning solution so it's evenly distributed and complements your skin
color, says Patino. And don't forget to lightly exfoliate beforehand. "The color will last longer and you'll literally glow as you walk down the aisle," says Patino
Changing up your makeup
"Sometimes
brides panic at the last minute that they've got too much or too little
makeup on," says Jodie Hazlewood, a London-based makeup artist who does
more than 70 weddings a year and teaches professional bridal makeup
artist courses at the Jemma Kidd Makeup School in Notting Hill. "That's
why during the trial-when they're in a much more rational state of
mind-I give brides a chance to try out different looks." At
the end of the day, trust in your makeup artist, who takes your skin
type, age, hairstyle, wedding color palette, and the time, location, and
style of your day into consideration when designing your look. "Modern bridal makeup is a little like red carpet makeup," says Hazlewood. "It
needs to look good on HD video cameras, professional cameras, personal
camera phones, in bright light and candle light, as well as last for
hours
Juice cleanses
"I like to think of food as fuel," says Keri Gans, RD, author of The Small Change Diet. "You
need calories to keep you alert and help you get through your crazy,
busy weekend. It's not the time to stop nourishing yourself." Juice cleanses are very low in calories, sapping your energy and making you irritable. And cleanses that include mostly fruit juices are high in sugar. "The
week before you should be eating well-balanced meals with a focus on
fruits and vegetables and drinking plenty of water-and don't skip any
meals!" says Gans
Peels & microdermabrasion
A
peel or microdermabrasion session promises silky-smooth skin in the
future, but it's a total no-go the week before you wedding. "After
receiving a chemical peel or microdermabrasion some people see their
skin peel off repeatedly, which leaves dead skin on the surface that can
ball up under makeup," says Patino. "Others see their skin get extremely red and irritated." And
wearing makeup, which is the reason you went in for a skin smoothing
and cleansing treatment in the first place, can only exasperate that
irritation. "Schedule any appointments for a peel, microdermabrasion, or other
treatments like Botox, at least 2 weeks before your wedding in case
there is any redness or bruising," says Jaliman.

New-to-you skincare products
"Don't change your skincare regimen if you have fewer than two weeks to go before your wedding," says Jaliman. "You should change it months in advance." Swapping
in a new product could lead to allergic reaction, dryness, oiliness, or
a bevy of other side effects that take time to correct. "Be
sure to see your dermatologist a few months ahead of time," says
Rosemarie Ingleton, MD, a board certified dermatologist in New York
City. "Your
doctor can give you a personalized pre-wedding skin care routine, which
will address your specific concerns to make sure your skin is radiant
for the big day. Your dermatologist should be up there on your to-do
list with the dress fittings and flowers. "

All-nighters
Up all night hand-embossing your ceremony programs? Find a dutiful friend to fill in and get some sleep! When
we're sleep-deprived our bodies produce more ghrelin, the hormone that
