Hey Girl!!
Let’s talk about the kind of glow-up that doesn’t require a ring light, a juice cleanse, or finding your “hot girl walk” Spotify playlist.
You know the glow-up we’re talking about—it’s not external. It’s not about shinier hair or tighter jeans or that one influencer’s suspiciously perfect life. It’s not even about finally nailing winged eyeliner (though that’s impressive as hell)
The real glow-up? It’s learning to give fewer fucks.
Like, radically fewer. Like, you stop twisting yourself into a pretzel trying to be palatable. Like, you no longer spend hours spiraling about how your thighs looked in that photo or whether your laugh is too loud.
Because here’s the truth: most of us are walking aroundTIRED. Not just physically, but emotionally drained from giving a fuck about things that don’t matter.
What people think of us.
What size jeans we wear.
If our arms jiggle when we wave.
If we sound too opinionated.
If we’re “too much” of anything—too big, too bold, too loud, too emotional.
Spoiler alert: the only people who think you’re too much are the ones who were never enough to begin with.
So what does giving fewer fucks actually look like?
It looks like saying no without apologizing or over-explaining.
It looks like wearing the dress even though your inner critic is screaming about back fat.
It looks like speaking up in a room full of people who might not agree—and not shrinking if they don’t.
It looks like booking the damn boudoir shoot even though you’re nervous as hell because deep down you know you deserve to be seen.
It looks like you…..choosing you.
And it’s not about becoming a cold-hearted robot. You don’t need to stop caring entirely. You just get choosy about where your energy goes. You care deeply—just not about things that steal your joy or keep you small.
The day you stop giving a fuck about what doesn’t serve you?
That’s the day your real glow-up begins.
It’s not visible in selfies. It doesn’t need a filter. It won’t be pinned to your “hot girl summer” Pinterest board. But it feels damn good. It feels like peace. Like freedom. Like being the main character in your own life for the first time in forever.
So let go of the weight of other people’s opinions.
Say no to performing.
Say yes to showing up as your whole, messy, beautiful self.
Because the glow-up you really need isn’t in a bottle or a gym membership. It’s in your decision to stop giving a damn about who you’re “supposed” to be—and start showing up as exactly who you are.
