Tips To Get Ready For Your Class Reunion
Alright girls, it’s the moment you’ve been so excited about but also kind of dreading: It’s your 20-year class reunion. You’ve got to look your best. Look like you’ve been living your best life, not that you haven’t but life is life-ing and you are battling things like gravity and hormones. I just got back from my 20-year reunion and it was amazing. It didn’t go off without prepping though. Here is my hilarious, but real guide to getting ready.
Tip 1: Shed The Extra Pounds/Hide Them
Listen, it’s been two decades; you’ve gained the weight and lost it multiple times. Time to get rid of it in two weeks for your class reunion! Oh-Oh-Oh-Ozempic! Just kidding. Shapeshift with Skims or Spanx they can make you look like you have been on a fitness journey for months. If anyone asks tell them you have been on a celery detox to shed (hide) the last couple of pounds.
Tip 2: Get Rid Of Your Chin Hair
As embarrassing as it is to be plucking the black hair out of your neck and/or chin it’s more embarrassing to have them sticking out and someone tries to grab it like it’s a loose hair only for them to find out you’ve grown that 1-inch black hair overnight. I have no idea why we have to shave our legs armpits and now our face. It’s a vendetta against us girls.
Tip 3: Hormonal Acne Attack
Remember when you thought pimples were a teenage problem? Welcome to your class reunion! HAHA! Oh, how naive we were. I of course was battling not only adult acne but also hormonal acne the week before fun! My sister yells at me but I say pop those zits! Get yourself a great concealer and they will be asking themselves – maybe she was born with it or maybe it’s Maybelline.
Tip 4: Take A Nap
You are going to need a power nap before your class reunion to make sure you look refreshed and also so you can stay out past 9p. 40 is the new 30 but we are still tired. Get yo sleep sis.
Tip 5: Prep Your Stomach For Battle
This was a big mistake for me and I don’t want it to be for you. I drank too many High Noons and all of the carbonation wasn’t my friend. Pop those antacids like they are candy and bring extra in your purse. You’ll be good for drinks and whatever dinner they serve you.
Bonus Tip: Dress To… Confuse
Get an outfit that says you keep up with style and you still got “it” even though we have no idea what “it” is anymore. I took the dress out of my sister’s closet because she has style. Confidence is key. Dress the way that makes you feel like a million bucks. Confidence is key!
Follow these steps, sis, and you will have the time of your life at your class reunion. Look good feel good. It’s all about having fun, laughing about old times, and maybe a little bit of showing off. Happy 20-year class reunion girls. Go slay the day!
