Hey RockIts!

Prom night is quickly approaching. The Cinderella moment is almost here!  It’s time to begin preparation for prom. It’s my senior year and my excitement cant be contained.

I’ve been trying on some of the most beautiful gowns just to get a feel for that magical night, though I had considered whether to have my gown made or bought off the shelf.  Decisions, decisions… But, the key to all this wonderful madness is to be realistic and only buy what your money can afford.

Here are a few ideas to help make prom- planning a little easier:

Pick out your prom dress and make appointments at least 3 weeks before your prom date (hair, make-up, nails pedicures, hair removal) 

Order boutonniere for your date

Plan your night with friends (hotel reservations, after- prom parties/plans etc)

Dinner reservations can be tight so call ahead  

Make sure your date has booked the ride

Whiten your teeth for the perfect prom smile (Crest White Strips really work!)

Sign a pledge not to drink alcohol or use drugs, or at the very least be safe and have lots of fun

Take lots of pictures

Oh, and be fab!!!
