So the dress is bought, the shoes picked out. You know what hairstyle you’ll be wearing and your nail (and eyebrow waxing) appointment was scheduled six months ago. Everything is set, except of course, all that is not. The zipper on your dress suddenly gets stuck halfway up and aliens have decided to use your forehead as a landing pad for their experimental pimple outbreak. With only three days before the New Year, this is definitely one of those code red emergencies. But stressing over the minor details, you’ll just aggravate the situation as opposed to fixing it. Read on for some speedy weight loss tips, ways 
to clear your skin and the formula for have a great New Year’s Eve.
Look Great on New Year's Eve Tip #1 Water: Drink It
So you had one too many servings of mashed potatoes and egg nog. You’re not the only one. But crying over those pounds won’t make them go away, unless you cry really, really hard. Drinking water will. Try to eliminate soda and any carbonated drinks before the big day and let the water cleanse your system and fill you up. Because dehydration is often mistaken for hunger, drinking more water will also protect you from binging.
Look Great on New Year's Eve Tip #2 Gas: Avoid It
Let’s face it – you won’t be losing 5 lbs in 3 days. Not only is it nearly impossible, it’s also extremely unhealthy. Instead, focus on not gaining any more weight, or more importantly, looking like you have gained weight. In other words, avoid food that will make you bloated. This includes, but is not limited to, beans, peas, broccoli, cucumbers, pickles, onions, apples, bananas, wheat products, eggs, carbonated drinks, and cream. There are more and this doesn’t apply to everyone. In addition, avoid swallowing air. Yes, air. Avoid drinking from straws (easy with water) and bottles with narrow openings.

Look Great on New Year's Eve Tip # 3 Spanx: Wear It
If you hate water, love beans and don’t care enough to stress over excess pounds and bloating but still want to look good, you're in luck: Spanx. Got a bumpy butt? Spanx will fix it. Wish your waste was 2 inches smaller? Spanx will fix it. If your local store doesn’t care Spanx, any super-strength control top panty hose will do.
Warning: When I say super strength, what I really mean is buy the correct size. Because while your butt and thighs will be perfectly shaped, you definitely want to avoid the much dreaded muffin top inside your dress. This occurs when the elastic is too tight and your fat spills over the band, into your dress.
Look Great on New Year's Eve Tip # 4 Skin: Treat It
Pimples suck. But they suck even more after you pop them and create scars on your face. The best way to treat a pimple is to leave it alone and apply acne medication; however, this is real life and not a PSA. And so, CP kindly directs you to Acne.Org, as we do not wish to be responsible for the disaster you may potentially cause to your face.
Look Great on New Year's Eve Tip # 5 Tan: Fake It
Experts believe that tanning beds cause cancer. I believe that tanning beds take too long to achieve the desired effect. Instead, opt for tinted moisturizer. Not only will this save your skin from looking like a leather purse, but you’ll also have control over how tan (or not tan) you want to look. But here’s some advice: don’t look too tan. The fake look is so 2008. Check out the vibrant selection from Sephora and pick your price point.
