Preparing for prom can be nerve-racking, but with a little help and advice from the CHS Courier, you can ensure that Prom 2013 will be the most memorable night of your life. If you are stressing over this special night, the best thing to do is enjoy a revitalizing spa day that consists of a massage, facial and steam session to keep you refreshed and carefree. Worrying too much on the day of prom will leave you with little energy to dance the night away. Ladies, once you have relaxed, start to set up all your appointments: hair, makeup and nails. Gentlemen, make certain that you order your bow ties and shine your shoes, because nothing is more impressive than a man who cleans up nicely.

In addition, make your reservations for limos or party busses a few weeks in advance. Whether you and your friends are interested in cruising around in an iconic party bus or a classy stretch limo, be sure to find and book your preferred ride in advance in order to guarantee smooth transportation.

Whether you are going with or without a date, prom is sure to be delightful either way. If you are going with a date, you will need a beautiful corsage or boutonniere. Luckily, Sunshine Florist, located on Agoura Rd., offers a wide variety of formal flowers that are specifically made for prom, such as the soft lavender corsage or green orchid boutonniere. If you and your date do not happen to be close friends, have no fear– romantic comedies are here! Spend a night with your best friend as you go through the perfect romantic scenes from movies such as Footloose and Titanic. These heartfelt movies will help you learn how to break the ice when conversing with your date.

Everyone wants to look his or her best under the moonlight, so be sure to eat healthily and do a few sit-ups or jumping jacks every night to guarantee that there is no “dress does not fit” freak-out the night before the big event. Boys, head to the gym and play some basketball or lift weights with your friends to stay fit and toned in your tux. Hit the beach one weekend for the perfect natural tan and glow. However, be sure to wear sunscreen to avoid being sunburned.

Last but certainly not least, do not forget to invite all your closest friends and family to take pictures with you at the prom pre-party.

With these tips in mind, prom night is sure to be a night under the stars that you will want to remember for the rest of your life.
