Last Minute Prom Tips to Prepare for Prom 2009 . :
You’ve tried slimming down, you have been working out as much as you possibly could – but you’re still not feeling as thin as you’d like. Don’t stress. There are so many ways to help make you look slimmer. For starters, wear a dress that is a very dark color, or has vertical stripes. You may even want to wear a corset or body slimmer underneath your dress. A traditional pair of pantyhose (if worn high enough on your tummy) can help make your waist look a little more trim. Big, clunky jewelry can help make you look smaller overall. A pair of really high shoes will make you appear taller (especially with a long dress) and therefore you will look thinner than you usually would.
The last few days before prom, you should try to eliminate soda, candy, chips, really fatty foods, and sugary juices, or anything that is considerably “junk” from your diet. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, tons of water – make water your main drink. Drink Milk or Soy Milk; eat tons of whole-wheat products and organic foods. This will help flush away all the junk out of your body and make your skin and hair beautiful, making you feel beautiful and healthy. If you keep up with the junk, especially in the days before Prom, you will feel sluggish, heavy, tired, and irritable. Be sure to get plenty of sleep and use a cold, wet cloth on your eyes during the last few days before prom so that your eyes look rested and refreshed.
Don’t have a prom dress yet? No stress. Perhaps many stores are now clearing out some of their prom dresses so you can pick one up much cheaper than a month ago. If you’re worried about not having the “best prom dress” at your prom, just remember that YOU wear the dress, the dress doesn’t wear YOU. In other words, think about the female celebrity you think is most beautiful. Isn’t it true that no matter what style of dress she wears, she will still look amazing? It’s all about how you accessorize, do your hair, makeup, and carry yourself. If you walk in to your prom wearing the most beautiful, expensive designer dress - but stick your nose in the air, you won’t look half as great as the girl who wears a nice dress but gleams with her big friendly smile, and laughs all night – regardless of any problems that might come up. So just choose a dress that you feel comfortable in and makes YOU feel happy. That is one of the most important prom tips you can remember.

Accessorize. What color is your purse? It should always match your shoes. Gold purse – gold shoes. Silver purse – silver shoes. Black purse – you get the point. Your jewelry should also compliment your purse and shoes. If your bag and shoes are silver – don’t wear gold jewelry. If your purse and shoes are pastel colors, it’s ok to wear white or black costume jewelry. If your purse and shoes are white or black – it’s okay to wear either gold or silver jewelry, but not both at the same time.
About a week before prom, you should try everything on to make sure it all looks fantastic. Just for fun you can also take pictures of yourself to see how everything fits together – label the picture “before prom” and when prom night arrives, you will probably get lots more pictures taken.
Didn’t get your manicure / pedicure appointment booked? If you can’t find a place that will accept walk-ins to get your nails done professionally - or if you can’t afford it we’ve got that covered. Wal-Mart and several other stores carry press on nails. You can glue them onto your nails and they should last for a few days. Just make sure you get the right size. People with smaller nails should get extra-small, or small. This makes them look totally natural. You can also just pain your nails yourself or have a manicure party with your closest girlfriend(s)! That’s always a fun treat – and you can also share colors. If you have a camera or camera phone – make sure you keep your phone charged the last few days before prom. It might even be a good idea to buy some extra batteries just in case. That way, you’ll be sure to capture the night.
The Night Before Prom
T’was the night before prom, and all through the home, was nothing but screaming, “Can’t find a brush or a comb!” Make sure your purse is packed with all essentials for the big night. Make sure you have the following items packed:
Brush or comb, hairspray or gel, breath mints or gum, tampax, camera and batteries, face powder, oil blotting sheets, lip-gloss, deodorant, body spray or perfume, eye drops if your eyes get red easily, tweezers, and anything else you would like to bring. Never forget, the most important thing to bring with you to Prom this year – is your smile. Have a fantastic time!
