Holiday party season officially begins in Minneapolis with this Saturday night's Butterball Party, featuring The Hold Steady. All proceeds benefit Open Arms of Minnesota. There are a few tickets still available.
With all the late nights, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in your future, take this week to pamper and prepare with my 10 pre-party beauty tips:
+ Commit to going to bed as close to 10pm as possible. An hour of sleep before midnight is worth two hours after.
+ Wake up to a warm glass of water with fresh lemon juice. This will aid digestion, cleanse the blood and help your liver do its job of detoxifying the body. It's the secret to healthy, glowing skin.
+ Drink water and herbal tea throughout the day to keep hydrated.
+ Eat lots of green, leafy vegetables, fish, nuts and fruits. Stay away from sugar, caffeine and alcohol.
+ Snack on prunes. They get rid of stomach bloat.
+ Exercise for at least 30 minutes once a day. If you can't make it to the gym go for a brisk walk.
+ Take a Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C. They help with skin, weight, stress and energy.
+ Use a dry skin brush before you shower to help eliminate cellulite, increase circulation and exfoliate your skin.
+ Spend time massaging your scalp before you shampoo. It's relaxing, stimulates hair growth and balances oil production.
+ Treat your face to an aspirin mask. To alleviate redness and clear up your skin, crush three aspirins with a little water and apply to face. Add honey if your skin is dry.
