In preparing for your big day, it’s so important to take the pressure off of looking your best. It’s YOUR day and all that matters is that you feel your best and you have confidence radiating from the inside out. Sophie Jaffe from Philosophie shows the MW team how it’s done with this incredible wedding prep cleanse, including an exclusive three day reset guide!
Investing in yourself…
Your health is a journey, it’s not linear. You don’t need to start cleansing and detoxing because a major life event is coming up, but that’s not to say you can’t start investing in your health and nourishment now to begin a more abundant, vibrant lifestyle. The goal for getting a beautiful bridal glow should be about getting healthy and feeling nourished, rather than slimming down and losing the pounds. A wedding prep “cleanse” should empower you to create a healthy relationship to food without anxiety, and support you in the weeks leading up to your big day.

Wedding Prep Reset Tips:
- Prep your body the week before you cleanse by slowly easing off processed foods and added sugars. If you’re cutting out alcohol and caffeine, make a start on easing off them as well.
- Set intentions for your reset journey by writing them down and putting them up in a place you’ll see every day like your mirror or nightstand as a reminder.
- Make a plan. Schedule your day and create time for yourself to go shopping or clear out your fridge/pantry. Create a supportive rest routine that could look like starting each day with a 5-minute check-in and ensure you carve out time in your day for self-care.
- Make it your own and tap into your intuition. Everybody is unique and your cleanse journey may look completely different from someone else’s. Use this time to tap into your relationship with food and make it stronger.
- Add in variety and try different reset-friendly meals each day!
- Do your best to avoid processed foods and added sugar while you’re cleansing and resetting.
- Get support from loved ones and maybe even reset with your fiancé!
- Drink lots of water to support the cleansing process. Try chlorophyll water at least once a day to eliminate harmful bacteria from the body, hydrate + heal the skin, and boost your energy.
