• Day 3: Hair Glow Up
• Day 4: Makeup Reset
• Day 5: Diet & Hydration

Day 1: Reset & Clean Girl Foundation

This is all about decluttering your environment and setting up a new foundation for the week. When everything around you feels organized, you do too!

This is your “start over” day.

What to do on Day 1:

• Full bedroom reset (clean everything, wash your bedsheets, rearrange the furniture, declutter).
• Take a relaxing “everything shower” (hair wash, shave EVERYTHING, exfoliate your body, hair mask).
• Trim, shape and clean your nails (paint them if you want).
• Apply a hydrating face mask.
• Begin drinking more water.
• Wear clean or brand new pajamas that you feel cute in!

Day 2: Skin Focus (Glass Skin Routine)

Today is all about your skin! This is a NO MAKEUP day, let your skin rest! It is also time to change up your routine. Get rid of old products that don’t work for you and pick up a new moisturizer, new serum and new cleanser.

What to do on Day 2:

• Change to a silk pillowcase for bed
• Get rid of old skincare products or ones you don’t use
• Create a budget and buy new products (cleanser, moisturizer, serum) – these don;t have to be expensive.
• Create your AM and PM routine and write it down and tape it in your bathroom (like the example below, this is mine!)

Day 3: Hair Glow Up Routine

Today is all about hair – woohoo! Healthy, shiny hair is always the goal for everyone.

Think: soft, smooth and glossy…

What to do on Day 3:

• Get a fresh trim to get rid of dead ends
• Apply a deep-conditioning hair mask for 30 minutes (and make it a routine 1-2x per week)
• Get some highlights if it works into your budget (everyone looks better with highlights and its beautiful for summer)
• Apply a hair serum or oil from your mids to ends
• Start putting your hair in a braid before bed to reduce breakage

Day 4: Makeup Reset

This is my favorite day of the routine – the makeup upgrade! We’re going to go for a natural soft glam look for your glow up routine.

What to do on Day 4:

• Clean all you makeup brushes and sponges
• Throw out all old makeup you don’t use or that is gross
• Wax and trim your eyebrows (can tint them too!)
• Buy two new beauty products that you haven’t tried (a new blush colour, a lip tint, brown mascara, ect) – this gets you excited and switches up your look slightly – I usually purchase it online or at the drug store
• Organize your makeup table/vanity

Day 5: Diet & Hydration

Diet is so important when it comes to your mind, body and skin. When you nourish your body with healthy options, it reflects on the outside.

What to do on Day 5:

• Start taking Vitamin C supplements daily (1000mg/day) – this helps boost your skin glow
• Create a meal plan for a healthy diet – options for breakfast, lunch and dinner
• Drink lots of water

What to Eat for Glowing Skin

• Spinach & Kale
• Berries – blueberries, strawberries, raspberries
