WITH just five weeks to Christmas, it's time to make sure you're looking your best for the festive celebrations.
Make sure you get any hair or beauty treatments booked right away. Salons are at their busiest in the run-up to Christmas, so, if a cut or colour is required, get on the phone now.
Pampering yourself does not have to put a dent in your budget for presents. Shopping around to find the best deals on hair, skin and nail care often pays dividends – and you could find that as well as saving money you find a hair stylist or beautician that really understands your needs.
Health and beauty is a long-term commitment and so saving a few pounds whenever you have your hair cut or your nails done could save you hundreds of pounds over the years.
It is essential to get your health and beauty regime prepared well ahead of the party season.
Visiting a hair or beauty salon is very therapeutic and will put you in a better frame of mind to cope with all the stresses and strains the festive season can throw at you.
What's more, organising gifts and food for people is hard work and you deserve a break from the pre-Christmas frenzy.
The healthier your skin, hair, nails and body, the better you will look and feel when the Christmas rush starts in earnest.
Times may be tough but everyone deserves a treat.
