Twilight
At Minx we have to confess to being a tad mad about the Twilight saga, so much so that we have named a couple of styles from the prom 2010 collection after the books. The amazing dress on the left is called Twilight after the first book, tell us what you think about the dress and the book?
Twilight
This amazing gown is based on our idea of Bella's wedding dress. It comes in the stunning midnight blue (as shown) and will be available in sizes 6 - 14. It has an amazing corset back so you are guaranteed to have a fantastic fit.
Price: £265.00 Available from Mid December 2009 but there are only a limited amount being produced of this unique design!
Eclipse
Again named after the third book from the Twilght series this stunning gown is unbelievably sophisticated. As Jacob said in this book " he couldn't complete with an Eclipse (Edward). If you want to eclipse others at your prom then this is the dress for you. The colour is an amazing iridescent sage, it will also be available in a deep berry too. This dress also has a corset back which is so important for that perfect fit. We would love to know what you think.
This gown will be available in size 6 - 16.
Price: £245.00 and also available from Mid Dec 09.
Don’t panic about your prom night – Stress Relief, Diet & Exercise
Make a List
Jotting down a to-do list not only helps you get organized but also keeps panic in its place, says Minx’s designer Liz. “When you see your jobs written down in black and white, they become less overwhelming and more manageable. ” Keep your list handy and check things off as you go along. We certainly agree with Liz as she is the organised one in the office and now has given us all pre-printed To Do Lists.
Plan a Snack Attack
Amy is the Minx cook and we love her “Cake Thursday”. She suggests you snack on carbohydrate-rich foods in addition to eating your three main meals a day. Eating carbohydrates releases serotonin, a feel-good brain chemical. So to help stay calm, try chewing on these mood foods: a few crackers with peanut butter or some fresh fruit or if you are near our store – pop in and try one of Amy’s cakes!
Shake It, Baby!
Diane is the Minx exercise guru. She teaches Yoga so helps to keep us all sane and stress free. Diane recommends raising your heart rate to help relieve those preprom jitters and give you the added benefit of a healthy glow. You don’t need a gym class workout either just put on your favorite music and practice your dance moves. A sure way to squash your stress!
Hydrate—Don’t Caffeinate
To keep your body—and mood—in top shape drink water. Every cell in our body contains water and every body function requires water to work. Dehydration can lead to fatigue and can increase stress. If you think chugging Coke or other caffeinated drinks will set your liquid levels back on track, get ready for a splash of reality. Caffeine can cause a decrease in blood sugar and this can intensify those fretful feelings. Instead, down eight glasses of water over the course of the day to make sure you hit optimum hydration.
