How to survive hangover

Hey, so. We've all been there.
Hang-bloody-overed.

Last Friday we went out with my bf and the result was I couldn't get up until 5pm on Saturday. I was feeling baaa-aaad (although I know what to do, it doesn't mean I always remember to :)), and I had to think things to do to make me feel better. Here are some tips for AVOIDING and SURVIVING HANGOVER:

1. Drink water. Water, water, water. Alcohol is diuretic, so basically it makes you dry as hell. Since we are made out of 70% of water, our bodies do not like it. Hangover is dehydration even though you have been drinking all night long. The best way would be to drink some water with alcohol (one drink, one glass of water), before you go to bed AND the first thing in the morning.

2. Know what you'll want when you are feeling sick. This helps you to anticipate and maybe already buy some stuff beforehand, or have some painkillers or the menu of the best order-in pizza/kebab place next to your bed. Nothing is more awful than trying to get up and go shopping for supplies.

3. Do-not-drink-all-types-of-drinks-you-can-think-of. Trust me, if you drink wine, beer, cider, cocktails, shots and flush all that down with champagne, you are gonna feel even worse than you would if you only had one or two of those. This is probably the reason I was feeling like shit yesterday, I wanted to have them all.

4. Now this is a bit on trial and I'm not sure if it truly works or what: before you go to bed take one tablespoon of baking soda, mix it with water and drink it. Or put the soda in your mouth and quickly drink some water, so it goes down faster and you don't have to slowly drink that awful AWFUL tasting stuff. Just try it, in the morning you wish you would have.

5. Don't be afraid to throw up. After done that, nurse your body with pleeeenty of vitamins and good fats.

6. Give yourslef time to relax and take it easy. This is the cost of having fun.


LADIES:

1. The first thing a girl must do is LEARN HOW TO DRINK. Nothing is more irritating than a girl who doesn't handle herself. Yes, you look better in your partydress if you don't eat anything before night out, but I'm telling you, the more drunk you are, the more awful you are going to look. Especially the morning after. So my advice is, learn to know your body and when you need to take a few glasses of something else than sugarysugar margaritas. I guarantee that you are more attractive if you are closer to tipsy than hammered.

2. If you follow step one, you won't even have so much problems the next morning. But if the damage is done you need to take care of your body and face. Shower is always a good idea to get rid of that smelly smell of alcohol, sweat and cigarettes. Remember to cleanse your face extremely well. End the shower with cold water to tighten your pores. After shower _moisturize_ your skin and put o any serums you might use. If you have time, make a DIY face and hair mask or put small pieces of cucumber on your eye bags. Brush your teeth, tongue and lips. After all this you should already feel (at least smell) better.

3. In case of you need to be somewhere and put on makeup there are some dos and donts. First of all, your face is probably a bit swollen/pale and you look tired after heavy drinking. This means you shouldn't emphasise it by putting too much makeup on. Focus on making your skin look healthy and normal with only a little concealer, bronzer and highlighter. Use matte brown eyeshadow and avoid harsh lines or heavy colors. Nude lips, mascara on top lashes, a little of white pencil on your waterline, and you are good to go! If you have bad under eyebags this will help you:



  4. Really think hard what you are going to eat if you want to keep your curves in places. Alcohol has lots of calories in it so eating healthy is a must-do. I know eating greasy food makes you feel better, but hey, beauty is pain. Try to have some good fats in your fridge like salmon, nuts or avocado (you should eat these before drinking too). That way you can atleast feel good about staying on your diet.


Everyone has their own ways to survive days after parties. These are just some things that I've found helpful when I'm feeling badly damaged. Try them out!
