Make a food chart! It's a chart that says what you eat every day and at what time. This will organize your eating habits. Make sure that you follow what you written down and in between meals to snack on something healthy like an apple.
-
Exercising is extremely important to lead a healthy life. Find a sport you like such as swimming or softball, or go to the gym. You can even go to a nature sanctuary and hike, it's all considered exercise and will also lower stress level. [4] X Research source

Make sure your skin is healthy too, and go to a dermatologist if acne is a problem and use any medical cream that they give you. Wash your face every morning or night to feel refreshed and have clear and healthy skin. [5] X Research source

Organize your cosmetics.
-
Take the time to make sure your hair is nice. Consider straightening it the night before or sleep with curling ribbons, or even wake up a little bit earlier to do that cool braid you have wanted to try.
-
Do your makeup. Cover any blemishes with a concealer a shade lighter than your natural skin tone and if you have dark circles under your eyes, apply some there too.
- If you have an uneven skin tone (redness, light or dark patches etc.) use either tinted moisturizer, light foundation or a BB cream. For young skin, a BB cream works best because it moisturizes, protects and covers blemishes without looking thick and cakey.
- If you don't have naturally rosy cheeks, apply a small amount of blush (not a shimmery blush).
- For your eyes, use a primer (or concealer) on your lids to make your eye makeup last longer. If you would like, use a natural colored eyeshadow and/or eyeliner. Curl your lashes and apply a black or brown mascara, but make sure you don't put too much on.
- Don’t forget a little bit of clear or tinted lip gloss.
-
Set out clothes the night before, try them on to make sure it looks good. This saves you time in the morning or you can choose several clothing items or outfits and choose which one you want to wear the next day and the second outfit you can wear the next day.
-
Shower at least once or twice every day, especially during hot weather and after sports. [6] X Research source
-
Go to the salon. This is optional, but you should have your hair trimmed every six weeks to prevent split ends and to help promote hair growth. If you have a picture of a hairstyle you like, take it to the salon and they will be able to do your hair similarly.
-
Do your nails. Paint them a nice colour, or do a French manicure. Paint your nails with clear base coat polish or a French pink, and paint white tips on the top of your nails. YouTube has many tutorials on nail art and manicures that are simple and easy to do.
-
Wax or shave, if you need to. Just remember, body hair removal is optional. Waxing can be a better option for you than shaving, although it takes more time and hurts a bit more and you may break out if you are allergic. Not only does your hair vanish, it takes off any dead skin on the surface leaving your legs feeling gorgeous! Remember to wax at least once every three months or it'll hurt more the next time and your hair will grow back. [7] X Research source

QuestionShould I change to make people like me or just change for myself?Community AnswerThe only person you should be changing for is yourself, no matter how cliche it seems. Changing for yourself will help you feel happier and more confident, as opposed to changing for others. Changing for others is pointless - people come and go. The only person you have to face every day for the rest of your life is YOU, so you should be the person that you are proud to be.

QuestionHow can I decide between the clothes that I need and the clothes that I don't need?Community AnswerSimple! Try to think of the last time you wore each item. If it's been over a year, you probably don't need it anymore.
