It's glow up time, and that doesn't mean being in high heels with unrealistic fashion model expectations. It doesn't mean your room has to be spotless 24/7 and you can never skip the gym. No.
Glow up is all about feeling comfortable with ourselves. Not fulfilling people's expectations, not trying to "impress" or make someone finally see your value. That's not a glow up, that's performance training, and eventually you get exhausted and burned out. The goal is to connect with yourself and be who you are without apologizing to absolutely no fucking body.
I understand the concept of "finding yourself." Sometimes we do lose track, and that's part of life and what shapes us. But living in a constant state of "trying to find yourself" is missing the whole point of life, which is to live the present, look around, be thankful and feel life. Not necessarily enjoy it. We don't always have to "enjoy" life, just feel it. That's part of glowing up. Letting yourself feel, not suppress.
There's no secret recipe to glowing up. Healthy habits and consistency, yes, but the interesting part is we all have our weak spots, right? Liliana is very disciplined about going to the gym, but she's very hard on herself and talks down to herself constantly, so she's not able to fully enjoy her life. That's not a glow up. A glow up is not about that perfect Korean skin glow, even though we'll go over that too. You can have the poreless face of a Korean princess, but if your nervous system isn't regulated and you don't have a little whimsy, then for me that's not a real glow up.
A few years ago I would have thought this was ridiculous or too girly because I was brainwashed by the patriarchy (I know). Today I'm ready for this shit!
Glow Up Cult is a brand that covers every single thing that makes us happy and liberated. Glowing up is about taking our power BACK! As women, we are waking up right now from so many things, and I'm so proud to witness and experience this in this lifetime. We were doomed for CENTURIES, so glowing up for us is not as easy and smooth as it sounds. To glow up you also have to shut down a lot of demons and habits you know are not good for you. And please don't feel guilty about those habits. That's part of the glow up too, letting go of the constant GUILT society has used to control us for thousands of years. Your bad habits are reflections of very deep defense mechanisms. Little by little, we will get better together.
There's gonna be a lot of fun, of course. I created a playlist on Spotify called "Glow Up Cult." It's perfect music to get you in the mood for self care, cleaning your house, relaxing, taking a bath, cooking. There's low and up tempo, and you can add your favorite songs to your own playlists. I will share products, brands, fashion, ways to make money, how to become a content creator, how to create your own brand. Those things matter, they're part of our self esteem. I'm navigating this with you! I'm learning myself. I've gotten up from zero a few times and that's proof I glowed up, but this time it's for real for real, and we are doing it together.
