How to take care of yourself on budget

Glow-up is an informal term for a positive personal transformation, typically one involving significant changes in appearance and style and often also growth in confidence and maturity.

But how does one glow up when on a budget? Here are the steps

Improve your posture

Your posture can make a huge difference in your appearance. Keep your back straight, your shoulders back, and your arms resting naturally by your sides.

When you’re sitting down, keep your back at the right angle to your thighs and try to release any tension to prevent straining your muscles.

Wear clothes that are flattering to your body

If you're on the plump side and you want to appear a bit slim avoid wearing buggy clothes as they only make you look bigger. Instead, opt to choose the right fabrics and clothes that fit you well.

Choose the right colours because darker colours such as black, navy and deep green can have a slimming effect.

If you're on the skinny side and you want to look slightly bigger fuller skirts and dresses that flare out from the waist can help create the impression of curvier hips.

Rest

Your body and mind are prone to get tired, therefore you need to sleep to avoid things like eye bags which are not flattering.

Skincare

We get pimples because our faces clog due to all the build-up of oil and dirt we accumulate in a day.

Make sure to always wash your face at night before going to sleep to avoid pimples.

Exercise

Make sure a little even if it is just jogging, skipping a rope and push-ups.

Hair maintenance

Always make sure your hair is well kempt whether it's braiding it, wearing a wig or combing it.

Making lifestyle changes

Drink water every day to stay hydrated.

Glowing up happens from the inside out and water is the key to helping you look and feel your best every day.

If you eat a lot of fast foods then reduce their intake.

To summarize things, glow-up just means to take better care of yourself.
