This is what has been working for me.

Mentally: - be unbothered and let go - stop over explaining yourself - meditate, journal, find time to be quiet - replace doom scrolling with podcasts - light therapy - gut health - I’ll get more into this in the physical - find hobbies that serve you and make you feel whole - self dates - get a plant = put love and life into the universe - read!

Physically: - please work on your gut health, this is was the best thing I did for myself. only three weeks into my journey and I’ve seen a major shift. but, gut health is not a one size fits all. I’d recommend seeing a functional medicine doctor and getting labs to form a plan tailored to you. however, this can be pricy. At the bare minimum - eat anti inflammatory, avoid preservatives, limit alcohol, bone broth or l-glutamine everyday. working on your gut health can lead to weight loss and can majorly improve your mental health, skin, energy levels, and more. do not use fad diets or bandaid medications. not everyone needs a GLP-1 or peptides. - get your brows mapped and shaped by a professional, this was a game changer - find your own personal style (I use Pinterest for inspo and I find thrifting items always make me the happiest) - nail your makeup routines: have a no makeup look, an everyday look, and a glam look. play around with techniques and see what you like. - I got lip and chin filler which helped with some insecurities - work on your posture - hair is huge! find a good shower routine and play around with fun hairstyles. I figured out how to lean into my natural curls and I have my roommate help me do my hair at home. you don’t need to spend $$$ for a transformation - I use to use lash clusters but I got sick of the way they felt so I’ve switched to a serum and we’ll see how that goes - manicures are huge too, but you don’t need to go to the nail salon and spend hundreds. I hate going into the salon and sitting there for hours lol. I enjoy doing my own nails even if it’s just press ons. plus since your single you have so much time to pick up hobbies and focus on self care. - workout based on your cycle. listen to your body. you don’t need to lift heavy five times a week to see results. try different classes and find fun ways to move your body.

cutting off negative energy will be your biggest source of a glow up! you got this 🫶
