Being a bride is serious business. You have people to meet, things to do and rituals to complete, all day every day. And all this has to be done while keeping a smile on your face at all times and looking your best self. All of this has got to take a toll on you. Well, everyone deserves a break, especially you, before your Wedding day. Take a weekend to yourself and follow the steps given below to distress and rejuvenate. After all, you will need to be well rested for your new life that is to follow.

1. Draw a bath–

There is nothing more relaxing than lying in a tub with lukewarm water, bubbles and calming bath salts tantalising your skin. Rest a glass of wine on the side, play soothing Music, close your eyes and forget about the woes of the world. This is a proven remedy for any bridal stress that you need relief from.

Say no to the relatives-

Yes, everyone wants to give you their best and meet you in this important time of your life, but small talk can be exhausting. Since you can’t keep family away forever, and you don’t want to either, take a break from all the relatives for a weekend. Tell them you need to get back to yourself and have a solo, no disturbance time to yourself.

Make a three-meal course for yourself–

Cooking can be stressful unless you are doing it for yourself. Why not just get into comfortable pyjamas and make your Favourite comfort food, or even your favourite childhood dish that your mother used to cook for you! Let the recipes be elaborate and fun, play some music and enjoy cooking like it’s supposed to be enjoyed. Invite your friends over to taste the fruits of your labour!

Splurge on a hotel for a weekend 

If you have had too much of the same surrounding and want a change of view, yet cannot afford a vacation, pack a bag, and head to a swanky Hotel. Order room service, swim in the pool, devour the breakfast buffet and chill at the hotel spa. By Monday you will be a new rejuvenated self. Check out groupon for some good deals!

Take a road trip 

Driving is not essentially stressful. Especially when you don’t have to witness aggressive honking and get stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic for hours. Get your vehicle and drive it out to the nearest national highway and embark on a journey with music blasting through your stereo and sun shining through your window. Take a friend along or go on a solo ride, driving on empty roads is the most cathartic activity you will do!

Get back to nature

Even while living in the city, we have certain places around us that take us back to the Nature. It could be a hiking trail some 60-70 kms from the city, or a lake somewhere in the town nearby. Just take out your car and head to the calmness of nature. It will remind you what really matters and connect you to yourself before you marry the love of your life.

Read

Has your busy schedule taken you away from your favourite hobby of reading? Pick up that Book that you bought and never really got around to reading and let it transport you into another place, another dimension. A book engrosses you like no other medium and soon you’re so far away from the worldly stressed that your fiancé has to shake you to bring you back to earth!
