32. Use red light therapy. Red light therapy smooths and plumps the skin, which gives you that youthful glow. Just a few sessions a week will support healthier skin and elevate your skincare routine.
Movement Glow-Up Tips
33. Start your mornings slowly. Grabbing your phone first thing in the morning will take you straight into stress mode, instead, linger a bit longer in bed with your eyes closed, stretch your arms, take a few deep breathes and let your body adjust.
34. Move your body every chance you get. Focus on small movements throughout the day, even if it’s just 10–15 minutes. Dancing while getting ready, stretching randomly, taking the stairs.
35. Go for a walk every morning. Think of this as your daily dose of vitamin D and slowing down your thoughts for the day ahead.
36. Practice yoga to calm your mind and soften your energy. Carry peace into your day and soften your feminine energy with yoga. You will feel your thoughts become quiet and you can hear your intuition.

38. Put on your favorite playlist and dance in your room. Trust me girl, the moment you put on your favorite playlist, you’re body will come alive, you will feel confident and your stress will melt away.
39. Focus on how movement feels, not just how it looks. If you hate working out, you won’t stick to them. But when you focus on how it feels, your body relaxes and you move in ways that feels good.
40. Stretch before bed to release tension and feel relaxed. Release the stress your body carries throughout the day by stretching, relaxing your shoulders, and twisting your hips before getting into bed.

44. Put on lip balm before starting your makeup. This will keep your lips smooth and hydrated by the time you’re done with your makeup.
45. Use your fingers for that natural blend. Body heat melts product into skin beautifully.
46. Opt for cream bronzers, blushes, and highlights. Cream products will keep your skin looking alive and radiant instead of powders that makes your skin look dull.
47. Put blush on your cheeks and nose. Place your blush high on your cheeks and slightly across your nose for a youthful, feminine glow.
48. Use a brown mascara every time. A brown mascara enhances your eyes and gives you a softer, natural finish.
Nourishing Glow Up Tips
49. Prioritize protein for every meal. If you can, add a protein to every meal. Eggs, chicken, fish, tofu, and Greek yogurt will make your hair stronger, your skin and give you less cravings.
50. Add color to every plate. Think fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins- leafy greens, carrots, berries etc.
51. Choose Whole Foods over processed foods. Your skin will begin to look clearer and more radiant because it’s getting real nutrients instead of empty calories.
52. Slow down and enjoy your meals. Sit away from distractions and truly savor your meal. Notice the color, smell, texture and all the flavors that pops up in your mouth.
53. Prioritize healthy fats. Stick to healthy fats as after as you can. Think avocados, nuts, and olive oil.
54. Hydrate every chance you get. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to hydrate your body from the inside out.
55. Eat foods with less sugar. Avoid desserts and sugary drinks that can spike your sugar and give you breakouts, low energy and makes your skin look dull.
Confidence Glow-Up Tips
56. Refrain from talking down to yourself. Shift that inner voice from “I messed up again” or “I need to lose weight” to “I’m learning everyday” and “I am beautiful at any size”.
57. Stop lying. Your confidence flourishes when grows when you can trust yourself and that starts with honesty. The more you refrain from lying (even if it’s small) the more you will relax into who you are, speak freely and develop self trust.
58. Wear what makes you feel powerful. Choose your outfit with purpose. Ask yourself, “How do I want to feel today?” and then dress in a way that supports that version of you.
59. Surround yourself with supportive people. Good people will celebrate your wins, speak positively into your life and remind you of your worth on days when you forget.
60. Practice better posture. Good posture will make you more confident, poised and elegant. Practice rolling your shoulders back, lengthen your spine and keep your chin high. These tiny habits are quiet but powerful to glow up.
61. Set boundaries and say “no” when you need to. Saying “no” to others often means saying “yes” to yourself.
