What do you do to make yourself feel pretty for big events?

[shellofself]

I know I'm a lil' late on this one.. but my feel attractive to-do list usually consists of:

1. Pre-event dieting/exercising
2. Mani & Pedi
3. Full body waxing
4. Spray on tan
5. Flattering (and slimming) professionally done hair-do
6. Spanx (or Spanx equivalent) the day of the event(s)

I'm actually going to be going through the motions soon for a much anticipated trip.

(Note: Special events are the only time I'm ever high-maintenance. I couldn't imagine doing these things regularly like I see some ladies do..)
