Tips To Prepare For A Date Night Out
You’ve booked your babysitter for a night on the town with your Valentine. The day’s leading up can be full of anxiety because for us busy mothers of little kids Date Night Happens or it Doesn’t. Since date nights comes so few and far between they do deserve a new outfit, shoes or at least some new make-up and a bubble bath, right?
Tis’ Night before Date Night
- Nothing is more important to looking your best than eating a well-balanced meal free of any food sensitivities you may have. Since I have personally cut my food sensitivities out of my diet my bloat is gone and my glow is in full force. Did you know milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, soy, wheat and shellfish – cause 90 percent of all food allergies?
- Drinking plenty of water. Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired. Recently I have tripled my water intake and my headaches have disappeared and I finally have a new Love of my Health.
Reduce your stress. Magnesium is a natural stress reliever and energy booster. It helps produce a chemical in the brain called serotonin, which works to elevate your mood and increases your ability to make it through the day by directing energy production in the cells. By lowering both adrenaline levels and blood pressure, magnesium also reduces irritability and fosters relaxation. As a result, your concentration sharpens, and you can finally get the good night’s sleep your body craves! For me when I need a “mommy moment” I take a long warm bath filled with Epsom Salts. Dr Teal’s Epsom Salts are the perfect addition to your bath the night before your big date. (Do not use it the day of – I hit my bed and never woke up after my long peaceful bath.)- Get a good night’s sleep. I cannot stress enough about the importance of having a good night’s sleep. In our house it is extremely important to me that everyone has dark rooms and all alarm clock lights are taped off with electrical tape. Ever since watching “Lights Out” on the Natural of Things I have come to respect the importance of sleep. Plus adding Dr Teal’s Epsom Salts to your bath, trust me you will be sleeping like a baby in no time.
Day of your Date Night Out
The day has arrived and you’re fresh because you implemented my tips above and you’re ready to get ready for your night on the town with your Valentine. Your lips are kissable because you have moisturized and soothes any chapped lips with Lypsyl. Your perfect outfit is picked and ready to go you’ve had a peaceful kid free shower with some wonderful products like Calgon take me away line. I love the scent and fresh feeling I get after using the ultra-moisturizing Morning Glory body wash and body cream.
Your hair is blown out and full of volume sure to skip a beat in your Valentine’s chest. Next up is make-up…. the problem is you’re an ah’ natural girl and besides applying mascara you’re lost when it comes to eye shadow and lipstick. Recently, I was introduced to Wet n’Wild all over again. Wet n’Wild’s Color Icon™ Eyeshadow Trio takes the guess work out of where your eye shadow goes on your eye lid. The “How To” palette embossed with “eyelid,” “crease,” and “browbone” for easy application is absolutely brilliant. Plus it is enriched with macadamia oil to provide continuous moisture and improve the appearance of skin. In combination with a jet-milled base and silicone technology deliver hours of crease-resistant wear. With shades like “Sweet As Candy” and “Don’t Steal My Thunder” you’re sure to get your Sass on for the big night. If you’re like me you don’t use too much lipstick you want something that doesn’t require much upkeep. Wet n’Wild MegaLast® Lip Color lasts for 4-hours with a semi-matte cream finish that will give you confidence when you walk into the room.
Don’t forget to add some love to your nails. Wet n’Wild Wildshine Nail Color was launched 35 years ago and they are Wet n’Wild’s top seller still today. Nothing like a classic to bring on Lady Luck.
After your night on the town with your Valentine a quick spray with Body Fantasies – twilight Mist is sure to mesmerizing your Valentine behind closed doors.
How do you get ready for a date night out?
Thanks for reading In R Dream!
Wow! This is just good. I really like these tips, especially the nail color. There are a lot of things we need to consider before going for a date night. It includes apparels, food, exercise, cosmetics etc. It is better to have a date night after having a drive with your partner. This will help you to get relaxed. Keep your body fresh by having a good bath. Deodorants will work great. You can have a small work out at evening that helps you to warm up your body and mind. These are the tips used by me when having date night with my partner. Some of these are suggested by premier introductions in Toronto.
OH i love the Epsom Salts!! that work wonders. Hubby and I have not had a date night since our second girl arrived. Basically 6 months. But my mom suggested she come over and look after our girls so we can go out for Valentines Day. thought that was so sweet since we have never been out for Valentines Day. So i will be getting prepared with shower, blow drying my hair, straightening it, finally doing my make up and probably wearing the same outfit i always wear out because it is the only thing that fits me lol
Kristen that sounds so nice. Did you make it out for Valentine’s Day? When it’s been a while there is nothing more exciting than the prep work. Hope you made a great night out of it!
Wow, that is a lot of prep!
My prep is simple: clothes/makeup, sitter …gone.
I do love Epsom salts in a fall or winter bath.
Haha Jay! Just a few tips but when date night’s are so far between, I do get a little excited about it long before the day of.
Love your tips and ideas…. if I only knew wth a ‘date night’ was…
We now have what i call “date moments”.. you know..when you suddenly realize your alone together in the car… or the children just all happen to be off doing something somewhere at the same time.. those are ‘power dates’.. short and sweet lol
Love it “date moments” we have had a few of those too, LOL. Short & sweet is all you need sometimes 😉
pretty colours in that eyeshadow kit! Date nights are almost non existent around here though lol
Jennifer do you do date nights at home when the kids are in bed? We do that a lot! Order in Sushi and watch a movie.
Date night? What is this you speak of LOL! We used to go out on date nights but that was before Bella (child #3) came along. We rarely go out anymore, can’t recall the last time we went out sans kids to be honest. Maybe I need to book a date night cause this mamma could use some alone time … with or without hubby haha!
Oh Aimee I know, eh? I will have to be honest now that our fourth is almost 4 we are finally getting out. It’s much easier when they are a bit older. I hope you get that date night in, we all need it!
