Hey all! I’m back with another video! This Summer Glow Up Routine video was a lot of fun to make. This type of videos is different from what I usually do. I’m not super comfortable speaking in front of the camera, but I decided to just go for it. So, excuse my awkwardness at times.
I’ve been working from home since winter 2020 and it looks like it is now permanent. I haven’t really done too much in terms of outer appearance since I’m just at home all day. I’ve been cutting my own hair for over a year! In my opinion I’m doing a pretty good job =D. I took this video on my birthday month and I wanted to feel and look my best. So I decided to give myself a mini makeover. Hair, skin, nails, makeup and wardrobe! I even shared a a healthy meal idea! I really think there is truth to the saying, “When you look good, you feel good”, but not only that…. when you feel good you look good, so they just enhance each other and help you to be your best :). Ok, so let’s get started, I hope you all enjoy this summer glow up!
Manicure & Pedicure
I went on a bit of a tangent talking about my un-fondness of manicures… but guess what, I ended up getting one anyway ๐คทโโ๏ธ. Seriously felt so fancy after I had a nice mani/pedi (โยดโก`โ)
Hair care
Hair cutting is such a sacred event for me. Ever since I was young I always would get nervous when I went to a new person who would cut my hair. Maybe it’s not knowing what to expect? My hair stylish disappeared last year after all the hair salons were forced to shut down ๏ผใชใญใใใฉใใงใใ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ, so I had to din a new place to go. I decided on a new salon that opened in my town, the owner had some really great experience and I decided to give them a try!
The salon is very trendy/urban looking, but they had a cute doggy at the door!! it was such an unexpected surprise, the music in there was soo loud thought so I did feel a bit bad for the poor pup. Anyway, overall I think they did a great job, I did end up clipping my ends a bit more because it was too blunt of a cut than what I like, so I did some vertical dry cutting to soften it up.
I also decided to do a protein hair mask using eggs and essential oils. I’ve been doing this mask regularly and really feel it has helped with my hair growth and over all hair quality! I go over the types of oils I used in the video.
At Home Facial
Facials and skin care are my favorite part. I am a huge skin care junkie! Originally, I was considering to go to get a facial but when I saw those prices $200+ I decided to just do it myself. First I did a deep cleansing with a black sugar scrub from Klairs (not documented), then I used toner followed by an LED Mask.
After the LED mask I used the collagen face mask from Pixi Beauty, then moisturizer. The next day I used a micro current device to give my facial muscles a bit of a massage and toning! All done. If you want to see my full skin care routine LMK in the comments and Ill go over everything I did.
The Final Glow Up
Finally Make-up and clothing! Make-up is definitely not my strong suit. I’m much more of a skin care kind of girl as you can see in my Home Facial section ๐. I was trying out some new products from a brand called Pixi Beauty. I’ve never tried their stuff before but so far I am a fan! I have their undereye patches, collagen face mask and eye brow pencil.
The last step is wardrobe, I needed to pick out a dress to wear to my birthday dinner and also on my actually birthday for a trip I was taking. I found 2 favorites! Lmk which one you liked ๐
So that is my whole summer glow up routine, I hope you all enjoyed the process.
