- Follow a consistent skincare routine. Choose products with hydrating ingredients and don't forget the SPF!
- Stay active and exercise regularly. Make it fun—take a spin class, do a barre routine, or take up rock climbing.
- Eat a balanced diet with lots of fruits and veggies. Choose lean proteins and enjoy seasonal produce.
- Prioritize getting good sleep every night. Make your room dark, cool, and comfy to help you drift off peacefully.
- Drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Keep a water bottle with you and add some fresh fruit if you want more flavor.
- Focus on self-care. Try out mindfulness practices like meditation, journalling, or yoga.
- Get a few new outfits you feel super confident in. Check out thrift stores or second-hand boutiques if you're on a budget.
- Choose a new signature perfume scent. Test out a few options in the store to see what smells best on you.
If you want to get that summertime glow, invest in your skin. Your skin reveals a lot about your health and habits, so it is vital to take care of your body’s largest organ. Exfoliate your skin, including your face and body, up to three times per week. Use a skincare system on your face, and remember to moisturize the rest of your body. Body oil is an excellent alternative to regular body lotion. Glowing skin often ranks as one of the most important factors in what is considered beautiful, so if you prioritize skincare, you can’t go wrong!

How do I give myself a luxurious makeover at home?
When I look in the mirror, I just feel kinda blah about how I look recently. For the past few years, I've dressed the same, done my makeup the same, everything the same. I feel stuck in a rut and just want a totally different style that makes me look my best. I've never really done a makeover before, so what are the basic steps I should follow? FYI I don't really have a lot of extra money to buy new makeup or supplies, so any budget-friendly options are a huge plus.

How to shave down there
Hi, I’m trying to start being more intentional about shaving now that I’m dating again and I’d like some advice on getting a cleaner shave down in my personal area. I trim to the best of my ability, but it always feels kind of like there’s probably a better option than what I’m doing?
