My Glow 2 - Mar 31 2022

How to have a cheeky glo up in your twenties.

The phrase “glow up” has taken social media by storm over the past few years. From unbelievable physical transformations, to simply just maturing and overcoming puberty, it’s clear that one thing is for certain.. a true glow up of the mind and body always stems from leading a healthier lifestyle.
There is a misconception that you can only ‘glow up’ in your teenage years but that is far from the truth. It is never too late for a glow up. It is a lifelong process of becoming the best version of yourself and continuously building your self-confidence.

The alternative spelling, “glo” is a slang term that specifically describes a person who has such a high level of confidence that it cannot be eliminated by any source of negativity. This Glo is something we should all be aiming to achieve in our everyday lives.

So, how can we have a cheeky glo up in our 20s?

5 steps to glo up!

1. STOP FOCUSING ON OTHER PEOPLE’S SUCCESSES

I know that is much easier said than done when you are constantly bombarded with life updates of your mum’s friend’s cousin and your year 9 crush BUT it is a must.

Be conscious of how much time you are spending scrolling and looking at other people. That is time you could spend on yourself. There is no timeline, it’s simply you vs. you.

2. KEEP INVESTING IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Take time to learn new skills or information on a weekly basis. Whether it’s listening to podcasts whilst you walk or drive, commencing a new online course or reading a book, there is always more to learn.

Not only does it keep your mind healthy but learning allows you to feel a sense of achievement as you develop your knowledge in new areas.

3. SKINCARE RITUAL

There’s nothing quite like taking time out of the day to complete a mindful, therapeutic skincare ritual. This is an absolute must if you are wanting to glo up. Whether it be to reduce fine lines, pigmentation, dry skin or signs of ageing, the right skin care will work wonders.

My Glow 2 aims to transform skincare routines into mindful ritual through the utilisation of ancient tools and ingredients from across the globe. The My Glow 2 Glove is a cult-favourite and Australia’s favourite silk exfoliating glove.

- Prevents ingrown hairs
- Removes fake tan
- Smooths and softens
- Reduces pigmentation

4. PLAN AND JOURNAL

If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail. We all know the saying, yet we sometimes forget just how important it really is to be organised, set goals and reflect. By time blocking and creating a task list the night before, you are able to clear your mind and settle down for a much more peaceful sleep.

Journaling can also assist with leading a more mindful life as the practice enables you to reflect upon your actions, thoughts, feelings and goals which enhances clarity and gratitude.

5. MOVE YOUR BODY MORE OFTEN

An integral part of gloing up is working on your health. The sooner you prioritse this, the more you will thank yourself when you are older.

You can prevent many health issues by moving your body more frequently throughout the day. Not only physically but it is also known to alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety as well as states of depression.
