The August 2011 issue of Brides had a Fabulous blurb about "The Top 10 Beauty Foods" which was information from Dermatologist Nicholas Perricone who is the author of Forever Young.
This is a great list of foods to add to your everyday diet as you prepare to have healthier looking skin for your big day :)
1. Wild Salmon- contains essential omega-3 fatty acids that keep skin supple, hair healthy and nails strong.
2. Pistachios- With high levels of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat- they help nourish the hair and scalp.
3. Watercress- This will help bring strength and shine to your nails because of the sulfur.
4. Cinnamon- Rich in antioxidants, this will stimulate blood circulation which results in plumper skin.
5. Olive Oil- A healthy fat source that guards against inflammation which can dull your dermis.

6. Green Tea- Contains antioxidants called polyphenols which help combat complexion issues like rosacea and wrinkles (Also can be a great natural energizer for some :)
7. Turmeric- A spice that works as an anti-inflammatory helping to heal sun-damaged skin (Interesting).
8. Blueberries- Contain powerful antioxidants which keep fine lines and sagging at bay.
9. Dark Chocolate- Contains flavonols which smooth the skin and decrease sun sensitivity (Something I'm sure will be an enjoyable addition :)
10. Cantaloupe- With hydrating C and beta-carotene these sweet treat will be great for dewy complexion :)

**When I do use skin/beauty/hair products I try to buy Aveda because they are an A+ Company from the The Better World Shopping Guide and they are increasingly giving back to environmental causes :)
