Glowing Up: A Guide to Finding Your Inner Glow

Glowing Up: A Guide to Finding Your Inner Glow

There are many reasons we decide to embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-betterment. It could be that we're not satisfied with the life we're leading, it could be that we're feeling lost and hopeless, or it could be that we want to live a more fulfilling life without settling for anything less. We all have something inside us that needs to come out, and this guide will show you how to find your inner glow!

1) Discover Your Style

One of the first steps to finding your inner glow is to understand who you are on the inside. Which means knowing what you like and don't like, what your goals are for your life, and what aspects of yourself you're proud of. To start this process, ask yourself these questions:

Discovering your style and finding the right products for you can be a daunting task. It's not uncommon to feel like we're drowning in an ocean of all these different options, with no way out! But don't worry - we've got some tips that will help guide you through this process so it doesn't seem as overwhelming. 

    2) Understand Fashion

    It is a common misconception that fashion and style are the same. In reality, they are completely different entities. Fashion has changed from decade to decade throughout history, while style remains constant for an individual. Understanding the difference between these two concepts will be key in helping you find your own unique personal style!

    Fashion can be defined as a set of styles or forms of dress having particular characteristics which change according to the period and country but remain fashionable for a given time or social group. Style can also be considered as consistency in one's behavior, attitudes, or work over time so as not to vary too much from what is standard within one's environment. The most important thing about understanding this distinction is knowing how it applies to you personally! It is crucial to know your own needs and wants in order to find the most helpful resources for you.

    There are many places online where one can go to search for information about fashion or style. The important thing is finding the right sources of knowledge, from people you trust and admire. Here are some fashion blogs to consider, but be sure to find out more about them before committing!

    3) Get yourself into shape

    In order to find your inner glow, it's important to take care of yourself. You have to be healthy and well-rested in order for your mind and body to work together. If you don't feel good about how you look, then the whole process will be a lot harder. That's why it's so important that you get into shape!

    It doesn’t matter if the goal is weight loss or muscle gain; as long as there is some kind of physical goal in mind, exercise can help make sure that things happen faster than they would otherwise. Exercise makes people happier and healthier which means more happiness and better health overall! So what are you waiting for? Get up off the couch and start working out!

    4) Get a haircut and color that compliments your skin tone, hair type, and face shape

    Finding the right hairstyle and color that complements your skin tone, hair type, and face shape can be a daunting task. If you're not sure where to start, we've compiled a list of some crucial factors for finding the perfect look.

    • What's my skin tone?
    • What kind of hair do I have?
    • Do I wear glasses or contacts?
    • What is my face shape (square, oval)?
    • How much time am I willing to invest in maintaining my locks?

    Make note of these things before you head out on your quest for the perfect hairstyle and color because they will help you narrow down what might work best for you! You'll find yourself feeling confident with a style that flatters your face shape, hair type and skin tone.

    5)   Exercise daily

    Although it might sound obvious, keeping a routine exercise schedule is essential. Not only does it help to achieve those goals you've been meaning to accomplish, but it also helps you feel good about yourself! The hardest part of working out is starting, so just put on your gym shoes and go. You'll find that once you get going for a few weeks or months, it will become a habit that lasts forever!

    6)  Eat right to look better

    Now this one isn't rocket science, but it is important to make sure you're eating healthy. Eating healthy doesn't mean you have to take up a vegan lifestyle or subscribe to any particular religion, it simply means making sure you find a diet that works for you and sticking with it. Why do we eat? We eat because our bodies need energy in order to function properly. If we're not getting the energy we need, then we starve and our bodies begin to cannibalize itself for energy. Sounds like a pretty bad time, right?

    7) Find flattering clothes in styles you love

    It doesn't matter how on-trend, or off-the-wall ugly, or cheap any item of clothing is; if you like it then put it on your body. One of the most overlooked ways to find something that flatters your form (and makes you feel good) is to try on clothes made by companies that specialize in looking after fuller figures - they all get used to fitting this particular shape rather than fitting everything one size 6 tiny woman could come up with. Eliminating the possibility of bad fit and unflattering colors will help make finding clothes quick and painless (sorry for the headache). Once you've found new items which make you feel great inside and out, have your mom or best friend take a photo of you wearing them to keep as inspiration for future shopping trips.

    8) Maintain your hair

    Maintaining your hair is important because it's a vital part of our body. It can be a very daunting task when deciding how to take care of your hair. If you don't know what your hair type is, there are a few things you can do in order to find out. One is to look at the thickness of the strands on the comb. Another way to do this is by looking at the diameter of the hairs, which corresponds with the thickness. And finally you can see if there are any different types of hair that surround scalp, like curly or straight hair or black or blonde hair.

     

    After figuring out your hair type then comes figuring out what best suits it. Some people might not be able to grow natural curls, while others are unable to get away with wearing their hair straight. Most people tend to have a combination of two different types of hair which can be hard for figuring out how to keep your hair healthy! The easiest way is find something that works for both types of hair and maintain it. So if you're able to wear your curly or wavy hair straight, than you should do so. If not, try to find healthy products that can tame your locks and keep them looking good.

    9) Get the perfect skin

    Skin is one of the most expressive parts of our body. Skin can tell us things about ourselves like what we eat, how much water we drink, and the quality of our sleep habits. It's not just an outer layer that sits on top; skin is actually an organ with its own distinct set of challenges and needs. And when it comes to skin care, there are a few easy ways you can make sure your skin is always glowing like sunshine!

    The first way to keep your skin looking great is by making sure you're drinking enough water every day. Drinking plenty of H2O helps keep your pores clean and prevents dryness which could lead to wrinkles and premature aging in the future. The second thing you need to do for healthy skin is exfoliate it regularly. This helps make sure your skin is constantly renewed and leaves you with a brighter complexion that's soft as a dandelion. Exfoliating can be done in many ways by using a Body Scrub, or face scrub to give those skin cells the treatment they deserve! Finally, use natural ingredients from honey to baby oil to keep your skin looking great without any harsh chemicals.

    10) Find out what body shape you are and how to dress it

    It's not always easy to find clothes that fit you well. But it doesn't have to be so hard! With these tips, you'll know exactly what your body shape is and how to dress it like a pro.

    Find out What Body Shape You Are: There are three types of shapes - round, pear or inverted triangle (also known as apple). Try on different styles of clothes in front of the mirror until you find one which really flatters your figure. If nothing seems to work, take measurements for chest size, waist size and hips before heading off to the store again. That way you can try on items which will hug those curves gently but firmly without over-stretching them or cutting across any bulges! Dress Your Body Shape:

    • Round women are full in the waist, so try to avoid picking clothes with belts. Apt for this kind of figure is pencil skirts or slim knee length dresses, preferably closely fitted. Choose V-neck tops which draw attention up and away from the bust line. Round women should avoid wearing belts with high waisted skirts to give the illusion of an hourglass figure. They should wear skirts with waistbands which hit at your actual waist or higher to highlight the narrowest part of their waists.
    • What pear shapes need to do is work out with extra care what kind of necklines work best for them. It's important to go for styles which flatter the shape, like V-necks or one shoulder tops. Pear women are pear shaped, i.e have wide hips and narrow waists so try to wear skirts with waistbands which hit at your actual waist or higher. Don't wear belts with high-waisted skirts so you don't draw attention to the widest part of your hips and lower half.
    • Women with apple shaped bodies should wear clothing that doesn't hug tight around their waists and instead opt for empire waist dresses, shift dresses and wraparound tunics. Apple women are apple-shaped, i.e have full upper bodies with larger busts and hips in comparison to their waists and should stay away from wearing belts with high-waisted skirts.

    11) Accessorize!

    Accessories are a great way to complete an outfit. Add some accessories, like belts, scarves, or jewelry, to make your look more fun and stylish.

    Sometimes, the most important accessory is that which you don’t see.

    Accessories can be anything from a belt to a scarf to jewelry and beyond. They are the finishing touches on an outfit, and they can make or break your look depending on what you choose. There are so many different accessories available today – it may seem like too much choice! But there is no need to worry: we’ve got some tips for how to find one that suits you best! The first thing you should do when looking for an accessory is consider what occasion it will be used for. This will give you a guideline as to what colors, materials and styles would work well with your chosen garment or outfit. For example, you probably wouldn’t wear a pair of sparkly earrings to an interview, and you might choose to avoid wearing a woollen cardigan with a flimsy summer dress.

    The second thing you should do when choosing an accessory is think about the current trends. For example, if it’s wintertime and your outfit is dark in color, an accessory with a pop of deep color would be ideal. This is because it will help draw attention to your face and eyes while simultaneously complementing the darker colors that you’re wearing.

    On the other hand, if you’re wearing lighter shades or florals, then choose accessories like scarves which will complement the flowers on your dress. This means that you can include a variety of accessories in your wardrobe without worrying that they will clash with each other.

    A great accessory is one which compliments your outfit, as well as allowing you to express yourself through your choice of colors and styles. You don’t have to wait for a special occasion to wear a pretty necklace. If you’re wearing a plain shirt and jeans, try adding a bright scarf or chunky, colorful jewelry to give your look more of a sparkle.

    The final thing you should do when looking for an accessory is to think about what you already have in your wardrobe – and how the new accessory will fit in with the old. For example, if you’ve got a range of monotone accessories (i.e. all in black), it might be time to mix things up and try out some color. If you’ve already got lots of bold colors in your wardrobe, then buying another one would just be overkill!

    12) Experiment with makeup for different occasions - try matte lipsticks for work, highlighter for parties, etc., so you can find what works best for you!

    In today's society, it is near impossible to go out in public without some sort of makeup on. However, what you choose to do with your makeup can make a big difference in the way that people perceive you.

    One way to experiment with different looks is by trying out different types of makeup for different occasions. For example, if you're heading into work and need something quick and easy that will last all day long then try matte lipsticks or natural-looking eye shadows. If you're going out for the night, try experimenting with highlighters or bold eyeshadows! The point is to find your perfect look so that when an occasion arises where this type of makeup would be appropriate - like a job interview or a formal function - you will know exactly which kind of makeup to use.

    The most important thing to remember when experimenting with different types of beauty products is that trial and error are key!
