Galway Races.. Ladies Day Guide : To-Do List, Part 4: "The Night Before & Essentials"

Hello Dolls,

How is your Sunday going? It is miserable out :( Here is hoping weather picks up for the races!

So its PART 4!  And in this post I am going to go through what to do the night before so that Ladies Day will come together and you are organised. Also I will be letting you know my essentials to take with you on the day! 

"The Night Before"

If like me you are doing all or some of your process of getting ready, then being organised is really important.  If you are getting all done professionally then time keeping is really important. 
Below I will bullet point my to do list!

To- Do List...

-Set out your outfit.
If you know what your wearing, hanging up your outfit with all you need to wear or bring like clutch, umbrella, necklace, headpiece, shoes etc are important. If you think it needs run down with a roller because of fluff or an iron. Do all this then. 

-Tan.
If you are getting your tan done or doing it yourself, then make sure you get your tan done early enough. So that at least you can shower earlier and if their is need for a top up or to correct any missed pieces or patches that you have decent light and time to do this. 

-Hair & Makeup.
Have your hair washed the night before and skin prepped with the skin care routine. If you are doing your makeup and hair yourself, have a station ready for the morning. If you know what you want and how you are doing things lay everything out. Hair styling tools, clips, pins, brushes etc & the same with your makeup, your foundation, lippie, lashes etc. Have some organisation. Last thing you want to be at it spending a good half hour or more looking for that eye liner or curling wand. Its time eaten into your time to get ready so you will be rushing. No one wants that. RELAX !

-Nails.
Get them nails done. If you are getting them done professionally, then you have not to worry. But make sure you prep your nails if you are doing them the next morning. Paint your fake nails or your natural ones getting the coats and extra drying time so no smudges. Also getting the correct fit for the fake nails. So their is not fiddling with them. One other thing, which I will add here is your feet. Make sure your file and polish them. If you have any rough skin, exfoliate them before your tan and add moisturizer. People will notice, especially if you have fab strappy sandles. 

-Heels.
Make sure you break in any new shoes. You will be in pain otherwise and have blisters. Walk about in your PJS even. Any movement in the heels the day or week before will save you on the day itself. 


The night before prep, will give you some extra time to enjoy the process so set your alarm early and have all set out.

Next is knowing what to bring the day in your bag. Something we all panic with, and we fling anything and everything and we forget that one thing! Anyone?? 




"Bag Essentials"

Gel Cushions: If you are in heels all day, your feet will get sore, so carrying some gel cushions will help slightly with the comfort later in the evening. Another tip, apply deep heat to the balls of your feet, it will help relax the balls of your feet. Do this in the morning before and if you get a travel size tube, carry it with you or any muscle gel. 

Plasters.:You just never know, You may be knocked or fall in those heels. A friend may nick themselves on broken glass or even you may suffer grazes from new shoes on the back of your heels. You never know.

Makeup:From powder & brush, concealer, lipstick, gloss, liner and lash glue. All so you can keep looking fresh and can top up during the day. 

Umbrella: Have you seen the weather lately? Even if their is no cloud in the sky, i can be sure their will be a chance of rain. ha.

Flats: I have no idea what size clutch or bag you are taking with you, but if like me you like a decent size clutch so it can carry alot. Then you maybe able to sneak in some small flats. If all else fails regarding the gel cushions and gel and the walk to the chipper the end of the night is so much in heels, then you will thank yourself you packed them.

Painkillers: Headaches and pains can come along, especially when everything is loud and mad going. Having some pandadol for you or anyone around you will be handy. 

Phone & Purse: You can get a purse that will house both your phone, cards and money, but if you don`t then having a small purse with you is enough. Only bring enough cash and if you need your card pack it seperatly so if your purse goes missing at least you have some money. Also pack ID with you, leave all your other cards and possessions that are important at home. Phone is obvious and can act as your camera also. If you can get a travel charger then pick one up and pack that, it will come in handy. :)

Snack: Knowing that the day will be long. Pack a protein bar like one the Nakd or Quest bars. You will get some sort of food in you and curb any hunger till you get food.
