We spend a lot of time preparing and planning our weddings, schedules, menus, invitations... what we're going to wear BUT a lot of the time hair and makeup and the prep involved in looking and feeling our best are left until the weeks (or days) before the wedding. I've brought in the big guns for this episode. Celebrity hair and makeup artist Alicia Poxrucker has done pretty much everyone's hair and makeup and I'm not just saying that. From Erin Brockovich to Taylor Schilling, Margot Robbie to Martin Short. Lady has puffed and powdered some FAMOUS people. And they're lucky to have spent some time with her! There is nothing sexier than a healthy glowing complexion. You don't want to look like a painted doll on your big day and even Snookie didn't look 'Snookie' on her wedding day. This episode reveals the tips, tricks, and products that the professionals use and how us mortals... nonmodels can look our absolute best on our wedding day without doing any major remodeling or spending a fortune.

Interfaith, multicultural and fusion wedding planning are my topic du jour this episode and what a topic it is!

My guest this episode has launched a blog that celebrates the uniting of difference. Secretweddingblog.com is the blog baby of Raj, a delightfully perky fusion wedding blogger who is passionate about publicizing all of the amazing interfaith weddings that happen around the globe each day.
