your guide to a glow up {introduction}

hello frens 🙂 hope you’re having a great day so far!

today I’m kicking off a new series called “glow up weekly” where i share a different way to glow up each week. I am so excited for this series and I think you guys will love it 💛

---

I’ve seen my share of glow up checklists on pinterest (and I’m sure you have too) but what does a glow up actually mean? after looking deeper, I realized that “glowing up” can really be whatever you want. it basically just means becoming a better person, and you can achieve that in so many different ways! you can do what’s best for your body by eating clean and healthy or take a self care day to relax and rejuvenate.

glow up: a mental, physical, and emotional transformation for the better

to kick off this series, I’m sharing a long list of different things you can do to glow up. each week I’ll go through the list and go into detail on each step, sharing tips and life hacks to glow up!

also: there will be a freebie included in each post where I make the tips for that day into a printable format! you don’t have to subscribe to any lists or follow anything (though I would appreciate it if you followed my blog!) to get these freebies.

you can download this picture for free 🙂 just right click on it and click save!

today I’ll be sharing a printable checklist for your glow up and a list of all the steps we’ll be including 💛

just a note: girl, you are beautiful just as you are! don’t start your “glow up” with a negative mindset or thinking you need to do this to be pretty/for people to like you. do this for you, girl. a glow up doesn’t just mean trying a new makeup look – it’s a journey to a healthy, positive, and confident lifestyle.

also, feel free to skip any of the steps on the checklist or mark them off if you already have accomplished them. for example, if you already have an exercise routine, you can check that one off (just make sure you’re actually doing it, heehe). this is for you, so use it however you’d like.

here’s each of the steps this series will include:

• create an exercise routine
• eat healthy
• plan your life/get organized
• have a self care day
• drink more water
• declutter/organize your space
• be confident in who you are
• journal
• get more sleep
• stick to a skincare routine
• curate your playlists
• unfollow negative social media accounts
• have a positive outlook on life
• take care of your hair

today’s freebie:

today I’m sharing a (super cute, but I might be a bit biased) checklist that you can print off and hang up in your room during this series. there’s also a little notes section where you can add in your own items, journal about your progress, make a shopping list, notes as you read through each post, and really whatever floats your boat! I will be using this checklist throughout the challenge as well and think it will be really helpful 😉

save to your device and print this out!

I also made the checklist downloadable as a pdf file if you’d like to print it that way!

if you skimmed this post: we’re starting a glow up challenge! every week we’ll focus on something different (posts will be coming out every wednesday) and we can check off each box together!

I’m also thinking about going live once or twice during this challenge over on instagram (@christinaandcamera) to chat with you guys, answer questions, etc. let me know if you would join that 😉

are you excited for this series? I am so pumped to see how it goes and glow up with you guys 💛

comment below if you’re doing this challenge! 💛

may playlist (ft. workout music)

hey frens! welcome back to christina and camera (if you’re new, HEY!! welcome to the tribe 💛)

can you believe it’s already may?

I sure can’t! sure, it feels like we’ve been following “safer at home” guidelines for a long time, but when I realize that it’s almost halfway through 2020 I am blown away! how crazy is that??

anyway, today I’m sharing my fifth playlist of the month. if you’re new, every month this year so far I’ve been sharing a new playlist (I’m running out of ideas now though so if you have any playlist theme ideas share them with me!!)

this month’s playlist theme is workout music because I’ve been sharing a lot of posts related to health/food/fitness lately and thought it went well together.

---

note: I did my best to make sure that all songs I included are 100% clean (and I personally don’t like to listen to music full of nasty language/innuendo anyway) but I can’t recommend all of the other songs by each artist (as I haven’t gone through each of them). while the songs I included are clean, not every song by each artist might be. just a little warning 🙂

I might share another workout playlist later this year because this isn’t even the whole thing and I’m constantly adding new songs!

so, without further ado: my current workout playlist (well, ten of my favorite songs from it) !

what’s on your workout playlist? do you like these songs?

how to drink more water (tips + reasons why) 🌿

pin this picture on pinterest to come back later

hey guys! drinking more water is something everyone talks about but actually doing it is hard in my opinion. sometimes you don’t like the taste of water or it’s hard to remember to drink it. today I’m sharing some tips for drinking more water that I’ve used personally and know work 🌿

how to motivate yourself to work out

hey guys! today I wanted to share some ways to motivate yourself to exercise because it’s not always easy but there are so many benefits! pushing yourself even when it’s hard might not be easy or fun, but in the long run, you’ll be so glad you did.

ways to make your room cozy for spring
