- 0:21Now here's your host. Julia London, you tired of glow
- 0:26up videos saying smile, more drink more.
- 0:30More water, you've come to the right place.
- 0:32If you want some unique specific ways to glow up, your mindset,
- 0:38your skin and your body. The reason why I decided to do
- 0:41an extreme glow up is because I became really lazy in lockdown.
- 0:46I gained 10 kilos, I was so pale because I couldn't get enough
- 0:51Sun. I was binge watching Netflix and
- 0:53I was eating take away from like McDonald's and Taco Bell.
- 0:57Like every other day I was feeling like a victim.
- 1:00I was complaining about the world and I wasn't taking any
- 1:03empowering steps. So I had enough and I thought
- 1:07it's time to grow up and become the best version of me.
- 1:11So if you're not feeling or looking like your most awesome
- 1:14self than keep watching until the end for some really juicy
- 1:19tips. The first thing I did was Gua
- 1:22Sha three times a week. It's a tool made of crystal
- 1:27usually rose quartz or Jade. Gua Sha is a Chinese technique
- 1:31that activates your faces, different meridians detoxes,
- 1:35your skin improves circulation. And it's just a great tool for
- 1:40anti-aging and reducing puffiness.
- 1:42The first step is to put oil on your face.
- 1:45Make sure it's a non toxic oil, that is actually good for even
- 1:49nourishes, your skin. I'm using holy alack sir, by my
- 1:53own medicine using an anti-age oil.
- 1:56Like this will really help speed up the results.
- 2:00Done. If you have used like a chemical
- 2:02at drugstore oil. For example, I use The Gua Sha
- 2:05mainly on my forehead to lift the face, make me look more
- 2:11awake, and then the neck up to the shin, to reduce appearance
- 2:16of double chin and the jar to help.
- 2:19Add Define it more and release tension.
- 2:21The second thing I did was to get an eye lash perm and tint,
- 2:26and you can do this at home, that's what I did there.
- 2:29Are tons of these online on Amazon, and it looks like
- 2:34they're using the same formula. So I don't think it matters much
- 2:36which one you get. This is for you.
- 2:38If you just like me, have very straight lashes because what
- 2:42this will do is they will Curve Your lashes and stay like that
- 2:46for up to six weeks. It can be a bit tricky to get
- 2:49it, right? And the instructions are usually
- 2:51not that clear on the packaging but there are plenty of YouTube
- 2:55tutorials online on how to do this and afterwards I tended my
- 2:59lashes. Is also last for about six
- 3:02weeks. I recommend using black or a
- 3:04blue or black, the next glow up habit.
- 3:07I've been starting is to use a self Tan on the face.
- 3:12Now, you want to know this if you've been watching my videos
- 3:15because I usually wear a bronzer but I'm actually really pale
- 3:18like vampire pale and I wanted to look a good and fresh and
- 3:23glowy without having to wear makeup everyday.
- 3:26I prefer actually to not wear makeup normal days when I'm not.
- 3:29Filming. So I decided to invest in an
- 3:32organic self tan for the face by peeled, my face to remove any
- 3:37dead skin cells and then I applied it all over my face and
- 3:42neck and it is very important because you don't want that
- 3:45line. Like we're above the your it's
- 3:48like tanned and then below it's not so just gradually fades in
- 3:53and you won't really notice that you're wearing a self-tan.
- 3:58I recommend having a Gradual self tan.
- 4:01So you can kind of stop where you want to.
- 4:05So before it becomes like to obvious that you're wearing
- 4:08yourself down, I've experimented with how many days a week I use
- 4:11it. And for me the best amount has
- 4:13been three times a week, you can't really tell that I'm
- 4:17wearing it. So loving this glow up hack.
- 4:20The next Global pack has been using face food age.
- 4:24Well cream from Mayo medicine. Again, I'm a minimalist.
- 4:27So I like to keep my stuff to a minimum.
- 4:30Including beauty products. And what's good about this one
- 4:33is that you can use it for both day cream and night cream.
- 4:38It's a blend of 10 organic oils and essential oils and it's just
- 4:42so yummy. My face feels so norrish.
- 4:46Tanned glowing every time I use it, I got this sent by my
- 4:50amazing friends at Mayo medicine.
- 4:52And I'm so thankful because this is literally my favorite cream
- 4:57and it works great regardless if you have more of an acne prone
- 4:59skin, Skin or more premature, death aging skin.
- 5:05I've linked to it in the description if you want to read
- 5:07more and buy it yourself. The next glow up, hack is for
- 5:11the teeth. So, one Circle that I have, is
- 5:13that I have veneers and that means that I cannot whiten my
- 5:16teeth at a dentist office with like the Whitening Gel and
- 5:20stuff. So I have been looking for a
- 5:22natural solution that can help me and what I found works really
- 5:25well is shark'll brushing, you can find charcoal powder Order
- 5:30online. So, you just dip your toothbrush
- 5:34in it and brush for around 2 minutes, and you will
- 5:39immediately notice a whiter smile.
- 5:41I do this once a week and I found that it's enough.
- 5:45And I've actually heard that if you do it more often, it can be
- 5:47a bit bad for the teeth. So, stick to once a week.
- 5:50The next hack is for the body. So I was looking for an exercise
- 5:55that IQ do for just one minute every day.
- 5:59You know, No matter how stressed I am no matter what I have going
- 6:02on that day, I can find time for this and it will have lots of
- 6:06benefits. And what I decided was to do 30
- 6:10squats. And the reason for doing squats
- 6:12is not only to get a perky butt, but it also actually improves
- 6:17your digestion, improves your posture.
- 6:20And it's also a safe Kegel exercise.
- 6:23So many benefits to doing squats.
- 6:25I did the squats with an 80 kilo, kettlebell, but you can
- 6:29also do this. This with the water bottle or
- 6:31anything you have at home, and if you just starting out with
- 6:34exercising, then you can just start without any weight.
- 6:38Next hack is for the hair, so my hair has actually been growing
- 6:43much faster than usual and I attribute this to my mask.
- 6:47My hair mask that I've been using recently, I've shared it
- 6:50in my Sunday ritual, and it's so simple.
- 6:54You just mix, coconut oil, castor oil and onion powder.
- 6:58That's it. External bold, and then put it
- 7:02in your scalp massage, then leave it in for 20 minutes or
- 7:05so, and then shampoo and condition as usual.
- 7:09Not only does this help grow your hair faster, but it also
- 7:12makes it all nice and shiny and prevents gray.
- 7:15Hairs, the next glow up, hack is ecstatic dance and this is a
- 7:20dance where you just dance like your body wants to.
- 7:24So you're you don't even have to dance to the rhythm of the
- 7:27music. You just feel like how it Does
- 7:29my body want to dance now and you just follow?
- 7:33All you need to do is just search on YouTube for ecstatic
- 7:36dance music. And this will help with not only
- 7:38burning, lots of calories, but connect you to your body.
- 7:42I find this to be great to do after work to detach and lets go
- 7:47of the work and the stress. So to just reset your body, it's
- 7:51also good to do. If you've been feeling a bit
- 7:53anxious and triggered, as this can get trapped in the body.
- 7:57But if you do, if you shaking your body, Feeling how your body
- 8:01wants to move, then that's a great way to release those
- 8:05triggers that anger, whatever it is, you're dealing with.
- 8:08Next hack is another hack for the lashes and that is to use
- 8:13castor oil for the lashes. So you might have seen online
- 8:17that there's lots of lash serums, they can be really
- 8:19expensive over $100 per serums crazy, but castor oil is super
- 8:24cheap and also really natural and actually good for the eyes.
- 8:28So if it would Drop into your eyes.
- 8:30It wouldn't matter because it's good for your eyes, you can use
- 8:32a finger or a mascara brush to put it on your lashes.
- 8:36And then also use your finger to just massage it into your lash
- 8:41line and do this every night before to sleep.
- 8:44And you'll see a huge difference in your lashes, both in
- 8:47thickness. And then like the next Global
- 8:49pack is more for your mind and that is to practice gratitude
- 8:53every day. I do this in two steps.
- 8:56So first I think about a win. So something that I accomplished
- 8:59that day, Because many times we can feel like I haven't done
- 9:02enough today. Like what did I do?
- 9:04And this can give you that boost like okay, I actually got
- 9:06something done and then the second one is to think about
- 9:09something that I am grateful for about me every day.
- 9:15I have to think about something different.
- 9:17So I find that every time I do this, my confidence just grows.
- 9:20And I think about things that I haven't thought about before
- 9:23that, I like about myself. And yeah, that really helps grow
- 9:27your self-esteem and yourself. Love.
