how do i have a glow up before school?
Thanks for asking this 🫶
There’s a lot of talk online about “glowing up” before school starts, and while it can feel exciting, it can also make us feel like we have to totally change who we are.
The truth is, you don’t need a whole new look or vibe to show up as your best self – confidence and kindness will always shine brighter than anything else ✨
That said, if you’re looking to feel a little more refreshed or recharged before school starts, here are some things you could try:
🥗 Eat in a way that supports your energy: staying hydrated and aiming for balanced meals (like getting your 5-a-day) can make a big difference to how you feel inside and out
🚶‍♀️ Move your body regularly: even a short daily walk or light stretching can help boost your mood, and if you're into sport, dance or workouts, that’s great too!
👚 Wear what makes you feel good: putting a bit of thought into your outfit or hairstyle can give you a little confidence lift – not for anyone else, just for you
đź’› Try daily affirmations or journalling: a few kind words to yourself in the mirror or a quick gratitude list can be surprisingly powerful
🌿 Look after your skin and sleep: even simple routines (like washing your face or getting to bed on time) can leave you feeling more put-together in the morning
A real glow up isn’t about changing everything so please don't put any pressure on yourself to transform. If you feel good, that's the thing to focus on 💫
