What is glowing up?
Now, there might be multiple opinions on this, but I think that glowing up is a drastic improvement in an aspect of your life(physical appearance, style, etc.)
Basically, it’s a mental, physical, and emotional transformation for the better.
A common misconception about glow ups is that they happen instantaneously. In fact, they can take years to happen.
Like I say, slow and steady wins the race.
How to Glow Up in 2021
Now, let’s get into the good stuff….how to actually glow up! Just know, that sometimes, the most impactful glow ups are the ones that come from within.
Improve Your Self-Confidence
This is probably the best tip I could give you. Self-confidence/self-perception is soooo important. The way you see yourself can determine what type of vibe/energy you give off.
Someone told me this to help me improve my self-confidence-“fake it till you feel it”.
And I couldn’t agree more.
Confidence is something that does not happen overnight. But, by giving off the impression you do, you can convince other people that you’re confident. And, after a while, you’ll believe it yourself. It’s almost by faking confidence that you’re manifesting it into existence.
Trust me, you have EVERYTHING to be confident about!!! 🙂
Work on Self-Love
This is also soooo important. We all deserve to love ourselves because we’re all amazing.
How can you love someone else when you can’t love yourself?
Ways that you can introduce self-love into your life is by doing affirmations and just focus on all the good things about yourself!
When you love yourself and are confident, you carry yourself a certain way, and you just radiate baddie energy.
Just kidding 🙂 (or am I)?
On a serious note, how you feel about yourself on the inside shows on the outside.
Just want to let you know, these things listed above are NOT overnight transformations: they take time and patience, but the results are worth it!
Take Care of Your Physical Appearance
Now, let’s talk about some more instant forms of glowing up. Taking care of your physical appearance is a form of self-validation, which can boost your confidence.
Listed below are ways to take care of your physical appearance:
- have a set skincare routine
- have your nails maintained
- shower daily
- find what clothing/hairstyles/makeup looks good on you and that you feel confident in!
- do self-care!

Cut Out Toxicity
Toxicity is NOT good for you or your mental health. Start distancing yourself from people who bring nothing but toxicity into your life: your mind(and your skin) will thank me!
Be Grateful for What You Have, But Not Afraid to Want More
This is soooo important. Journaling in the morning and night and creating gratitude lists can help increase gratefulness.
But, being grateful doesn’t mean you have to curb your ambition. Don’t be afraid of self-improvement and going after what you want in life!
Other Lifestyle Changes You Can Make
Lastly, here are some changes that you can make to your life to essentially “glow up”.
- exercise!
- sleep!!!!
- have a nutritious and well balanced diet
- take care of overall personal hygiene
- redo your room
- make a big life change
- be unapologetically yourself boo 🙂

My Two Cents
At the end of the day, your “glow up” has to have good intentions. Meaning a glow up isn’t really a glow up if you aren’t doing it for YOURSELF!
At the end of the day, you are the person who’ll benefit the most from this because it’s your life, not anyone else’s!
2021 can be our year if we set out to make it our year.
