Summer is finally here and after 2 years of being stuck inside… it sure feels good to open our front doors, slide into a pair of shorts and have a chance to see all the people that we have missed so much!
Glow ups were a thing before quarantine, of course, but glow ups post pandemic just feel so much more meaningful. Don’t they? Even though the world is already back open in a way that it hasn’t been in quite some time, it is never too late to start your glow up that will have everyone wondering what your secret is!
Watch easy hair tutorials and try them out until you get them right. Maybe you were a purely curly or straight girl before. Watch a few easy hair tutorials to help you create some different looks that will, no doubt, be a noticeable change if you are not one to venture off the beaten path of what works for your hair. It may take a few times before you get it right, but that is the beauty of trying things at home. If you hate it… you don’t have to try it again!
Change up your makeup.
Are you a contour queen? Try your makeup without it. Are you a cottagecore maven? Try something glam. You never know what might look good on you until you try it! Take pictures of each look you try to see how you really like it. It can be hard to really tell in the mirror but on camera… you might LOVE it!
Start a good skincare routine and drink your water.
It sounds simple but the basics of glowing is glowing from the inside out. Make sure you are cleaning makeup off your face, moisturizing and drinking plenty of water to create that healthy skin that looks dewy and summery!
Iron your clothes.
It seems silly but if you are someone who throws on their clothes in a hurry, even just beginning to really get the wrinkles out of your clothes can make you look more polished.
Update your closet.
Work around your basics. After the pandemic, we are all on a budget. Simply adding on a few trendy pieces to your basics can change your whole wardrobe!
As you get ready for summer remember, we have all been hiding out for a long time. Even our glow ups may be a little sub-par right now… but we made it through. And that is quite honestly the biggest glow up we know of!
