Summer Glow Up Goals

First off, this post is called Summer Glow Up Goals and not Summer Glow Up Tips, because these are definitely things I want to get into the habit of myself. Since I was little, I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of coming back to school new and improved. It’s my favorite time of the year (besides the part where you actually have to go to classes). In order to improve myself for the remainder of the summer, I’ve come up with these guidelines/goals:

Physical-

This definitely isn’t the most important aspect, still there’s something exciting about coming back to school with radiant skin and confidence in your appearance.

  1. Drink more water! Okay this is advice everyone’s heard about a million times, but it makes sense. I don’t drink nearly as much water as I should, and this is so important especially during the hotter times of the year. Bottoms up for clearer, brighter skin by fall.
  1. Cut out fast food- With extra time on my hands to potentially cook, there’s no reason to give in to unnecessary fast food stops. Again, getting rid of all the extra fat and salt in fast food from my diet will increase health.
  1. Exercise regularly- I’m not suggesting that anyone becomes a regular gym rat. In fact I’m not suggesting anyone goes to the gym at all. But being regularly active keeps your metabolism running, especially between Netflix binge sessions. Personally I’d like to tone up specific areas of my body before school starts back, but everyone should at least get moving a couple times a week to maintain their general health.
  1. Brush up on makeup skills- I’m definitely not a huge makeup advocate, mostly because I have little to no skills in that area. With extra time on my hands, I’d like to make YouTube my teacher. I don’t use the few makeup skills I have everyday, but it would be nice to have the ability to do something special every once in a while.
  1. Oil it up! Oils work wonder for skin and hair health. I really want to be more persistent about using castor oil on my eyelashes for growth, which, for the record, worked wonders while I used it. I also want to see if another oil will really help me get rid of the dark circles under my eyes because the “panda” look is totally out right now. There’s practically an oil for any minor skin issue.

Mental-

The important, often overlooked aspect is the mental transformation. I want to use my time away to recoup and move past any issues from the previous year. I want to come back renewed and focused on my goals for the year.

  1. Start Journaling- Some people keep diaries- I never really got into it. For me, the equivalent would be getting back into creative writing. Instead of writing my feelings down directly, sometimes I channel them into a fictional character and build stories around those characters. However you choose to do it, being in tune with your own emotions can help better your own state of mind.
  1. For Help, Turn Page- Self help books may seem like they’re only for people who’ve reached a dead end but that’s not the case at all! A couple months ago, I found the book Nice is Just a Place in France and I still haven’t gotten around to reading it. It’s a how-to for an alternative Girl Boss lifestyle, at least that’s my best description. There’s something cool about reading lifestyle books. There’s always something to learn from how other people live. I feel like this one is great for operating with confidence, and that’s something I’d love more of in my life.
  1. Tidy Up a Little- My room has gotten out of hand again since spring break and now is the time to change that. With the new school year rolling around, I definitely need space in my room to move around, and especially to work at my desk. I get so stressed out when I’m working in a messy space and I want to start the year off right and focused.

Those are my summer “glow up” goals. The summer is such a great time, when you have more time to yourself, to dedicate to making lifestyle changes you’d like to see.

Love always, Nia Shalise
