Other than the annoying, repeated mentions of bloating (I don't get bloated! I don't even understand what it is because it doesn't happen to me! Please stop talking about it!) that chapter was super helpful and I'll definitely go back to it when planning my wedding day prep.

DIY hotel skin scrub using sugar packets! Now this is the kind of useful, simple, inexpensive advice I was looking for!

As the advice has gotten closer to the actual wedding day, it's also gotten more applicable and therefore useful to me. Now we're to "The Big Day", the section I randomly flipped to in the bookstore which made me want this book in the first place. I have high hopes for this book's redemption!

I'm really disappointed by the advice so far. It's as if it assumes I have nothing else to do but wedding prep (and also the money to afford it). I was hoping for tips that would allow me to work with what I have and change habits, not buy products.

Honestly impressed at the book's open-minded suggestion to try pants or shorts instead of a dress.

I wish the descriptions of dress silhouettes weren't all focused on what that dress will help conceal. I'm not interested in concealing my body, I just want a glamorous dress!

Really sucks that I feel like I should have just checked this book out from the library rather than buying it. I AM finding useful information but it's hidden among endless assumptions and stereotypes that irritate me to no end.

*sigh* Book wasn't speaking my language, even in the fitness section. Bulking up is EXACTLY what I want, stop assuming shit, stupid book.

"The Buff Bride" is chapter three's title? Book, you might finally be speaking my language!

I do want to remember and use these food craving tips, they seem solid and easy to follow.
