Beauty Services and Bridal Mental Health

Speaker 2 0:34

me. I didn't laugh. I was smiling at your beauty no you're laughing at me. Oh, it wasn't. It's just a very long-winded question. I know, I know it's such a good question. It's a good question because I want to talk about mental health and the correlation of these beauty services that brides receive. I'm here for it.

Speaker 1 0:51

So, Leah, I'm going to pass it to you.

Speaker 3 0:53

What are your thoughts? Tell us what you think. 100%, I think. Anytime you invest in yourself, like through time and then through money obviously, like paying for these services, scheduling out time for yourself to take a little bit of time to do something that's just for you absolutely can change your mental health for sure. Especially with such a stressful event like the wedding, I think it's super important to schedule yourself some time.

Speaker 2 1:19

I totally agree, because I feel like there's so much pressure to like look good, like on your wedding day. Of course it's, you know, known as the biggest day of your life. So to get all these services done I think you know it really I mean all my stuff, my nails, my hair, all the stuff, and then it just like comes together on your wedding day and you just feel like the most beautiful version of yourself is, you know, something that's like super special.

Speaker 1 1:41

So nope, I completely agree. I think you have found your forever person. So you could show up in a trash bag and they would still marry you, true, but you do want to feel your best in the skin. That you know in your skin. If that's your spray tan, your nails, your hair, your makeup and those pictures do last forever you still look at your pictures, grace, I do.

Wedding Day Memories and Preparations

Speaker 1 2:04

I still look at my pictures all the time, forever. You still look at your pictures, grace, I do. I still look at my pictures all the time. Do you look at your wedding pictures all the time? Yeah, all the time. Oh, when?

Speaker 2 2:10

did you get married when yeah or like yeah. What year did you um? 2021, 2020? Okay, so you're so recent yeah, what did you get like um, did you get married here in the valley or did you we? Got married in Pinetop like in the middle of the woods.

Speaker 3 2:27

I know it was so special. It was so cute. I love that there was just a few people there.

Speaker 1 2:32

Was it in the summer, when it was like warm, or was it?

Speaker 3 2:34

October no, there's no snow, it was like perfect weather.

Speaker 2 2:37

I was like, yeah, october, there is like perfect. Yeah, it was amazing. I love that. I know, did you do like all the wedding prep too? Like did you Not really?

Speaker 3 2:46

No, no, Okay, I mean I did like some like DIY stuff, but not really. I actually self-tanned myself for my wedding.

Speaker 2 2:54

Really yeah, and this was oh wait, you weren't in the business yet, were you no?

Speaker 3 2:59

Oh, it was the worst decision I ever made, but okay, we really Stop Because of like how it turned out.

DIY Spray Tan Wedding Story

Speaker 3 3:06

It was just stressful. Like my best friend was upstairs with me, like because I was like starting to get into, like okay, I'm going to launch my business after this wedding. So I was like I know everything about tanning or whatever. So my best friend and I were upstairs like literally self tanning me the night before my wedding. It was a disaster. Yeah, oh my, it means my tan look good. But yeah, okay, I guess, yeah, not anything like I do now.

Speaker 2 3:30

I know I feel like just you saying that. I know it sucks because we've talked about on, you know, the podcast before, all the money expenses that can come into, like the bride side with the hair the nails, the spray tan, the bridal makeup trials.

Why Professional Services Are Worth It

Speaker 2 3:44

It sucks, but I just think it's so worth it to like get all those services professionally done, agreed, you know, because it sucks so many aspects. But this is your wedding day, you know, and it's. I would rather get a spray tan and not do that the night before, like how you, just because I think all it's going to do is just add more stress when you don't. You're already stressed enough. So you guys can just budget out that money for all the cosmetic stuff for the day of, because I think it's going to be worth it.

Speaker 1 4:16

Do a DIY. Completely agree, yeah, so take less, take. Yeah, take that off your shoulders and do not be responsible for it.

Speaker 2 4:25

Yeah, so well cool.

Speaker 1 4:27
