Hey, pretty people!

 

I love diving into the glow up world, mainly because it’s a fun way to challenge myself into trying new things. Hopefully it’s the same sentiment for you as well!

This new article was born with the very same goal in mind, as you can probably guess.

 

It features a total of 10 practices you can indulge in throughout the week, ranging from physical advice and more mental ones.

I tried to space out between each category as much as possible, and hopefully you’re going to find some interesting points to expand on.

 

So, are you ready to find out 10 Ways to Glow Up in One Week?

Let’s get started!

 

 

BEFORE WE START

A small disclaimer is due here – feel free to skip it to avoid a little bit of cheesiness!

This article is in no way, shape or form an attack towards your beauty or your individuality. I am not trying to suggest there’s something wrong with you, or something that you need to change.

This post is a mere challenge to push yourself to try something new, and possibly finding new ways to take care of yourself. Nothing more!

 

 

REVAMP YOUR SKIN CARE ROUTINE

We’re starting off with a pretty basic concept: skin care. Taking proper care of your skin is crucial if you want to look nice and healthy in the long run, but that doesn’t mean you should spend your whole paycheck on it!

The very first step is to identify which type of skin you have. Are you leaning more towards the dry side? Or does your skin get more oily throughout the day? Maybe you’re more sensitive to skin care, and some products tend to break you out.

Once you have that down, it’s time to think about products. If you’re a total newbie, you’ll be pleased to know that all you really need to do is cleansing, toning and moisturizing – plus, using spf in the morning. That’s literally it!

I’ll give you a couple of personal favorite recommendations, but feel free to drop yours in the comments!

  • Aveeno Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser
  • Thayers Facial Toner with Witch Hazel
  • Nivea Soft Cream and classic Nivea Crème
  • Cerave Facial Moisturizing Lotion (AM) spf50

 

 

TRY A NEW WORKOUT ROUTINE

Varying between different workout routines is the ultimate way not to get bored, and to ensure your body gets some more rest throughout the week.

If you don’t necessarily want to go to the gym, you’ll be pleased to know you can follow a ton of fun and effective workout routines on YouTube, from your own living room – for free!

I’ll list (and link) my personal favorite channels down below.

 

 

 

INCORPORATE SUPER FOODS INTO YOUR DIET

Superfoods are nutrient-dense foods that provide a wide range of health benefits, from boosting your energy levels to improving your mood and focus.

Some popular superfoods include berries, leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish. By adding these nutrient-rich foods to your meals and snacks, you can fuel your body with the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants it needs to thrive!

 

 

PRACTICE MINDFULNESS EVERY DAY

Mindfulness involves focusing on the present moment without judgment, allowing you to tune into your thoughts and emotions with awareness.

By practicing mindfulness each day, whether through meditation, deep breathing exercises, or simply taking moments to pause and reflect, you can reduce stress, improve your mental clarity, and enhance your overall well-being.

This intentional practice can help you cultivate a sense of peace and calm amidst life’s challenges, setting the stage for a more radiant glow-up inside and out!

 

 

GET PROPER SLEEP

Sleep is essential for your overall well-being, helping to rejuvenate your body and mind. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to improve your focus, mood, and energy levels.

By prioritizing rest, you can enhance your glow-up journey both physically and mentally.

 

 

DECLUTTER YOUR LIVING SPACE

When your living space is cluttered, it can have a negative impact on your physical and mental well-being.

Take some time to declutter your environment by organizing your belongings, clearing out unnecessary items, and creating a more serene atmosphere. A tidy living space can promote a sense of calm and clarity, helping you to feel more focused and motivated in your daily life.

By decluttering, you’ll create a more peaceful environment that can support your glow-up journey!

 

 

 

EXPERIMENTING WITH HAIRSTYLES AND/OR MAKEUP

Switching up your hairstyle or trying out a new makeup look can have a surprisingly powerful impact on your confidence and overall attitude.

Whether it’s a bold new hair color, a trendy haircut, or experimenting with different makeup techniques, changing up your appearance can boost your mood and make you feel more inspired.

I recommend checking out tutorials on TikTok and YouTube!

 

 

USE AFFIRMATIONS

If you’ve never dabbled into the world of affirmations, they might feel a little funny at first – but their benefits in the neuroplasticity realm have long been proven! You can take a look at this compelling article if you’re interested in knowing more.

Pick a handful of affirmations that make you feel good, and try to repeat them in your head as often as you can, or feel the need to. Maybe while you’re brushing your teeth, commuting to work/school, and when you’re about to fall asleep.

You can find cool affirmation ideas on TikTok and Pinterest!

 

 

 

ENGAGE IN CREATIVE ACTIVITIES

Engaging in activities such as painting, writing, crafting, or even dancing can help stimulate your creativity, reduce stress, and boost your mood.

Creative expression allows you to tap into your inner self, explore new ideas, and experience a sense of accomplishment.

By incorporating creative activities into your routine, you can enhance your mental well-being and bring a new level of vibrancy to your overall glow-up journey!

 

 

 

♡  Thank you so much for reading! I hope we kept each other company for a while. Have a wonderful day! ♡
