Good morning, you guys, and welcome back.
So today's video is something I planned.
Well, actually, can I just say something?
I just woke up.
I'm just looking at myself and I look It's a low for me.
I've been seeing these glow up videos circulate around YouTube.
So I was like, why don't I do my own?
Basically, I'm going to try in 24 hours.
That's the challenge.
And if you know me, you know I'm always down for a good challenge.
I really don't consider this a challenge to be honest.
It's more of like a fun glow up routine.
Essentially, I'm going to be doing things that help me glow up.
You know, really, this is just for fun.
The reason I'm up so early at the crack of dawn, it's literally 9am, I'm going to start this video with a bang by getting my hair done.
If you look at my hair now, it's like very monotone, monochrome, that's what I meant.
There's really no dimension to my hair.
I just think it'd be fun to get some highlights for summertime.
And then for like the cut, we can just do like face framing.
Okay.
So this is the example photo that I showed her.
Kinda like more warm highlights.
Instead of just like blonde, I like like the warmer colors.
So I'm in the I was going to say the fryer.
I'm in the dryer.
It's going good.
I fell asleep while she was putting the highlights in.
Are you excited to see my new hair?
I'm so excited.
I am on the edge of my seat.
Really?
You guys, I love it.
This is exactly what i was trying to go for.
She completely understood.
I'm trying to show you guys.
It's kind of hard to do on camera, but the highlights are pretty light.
The back looks like this getting your hair done can truly be the best or the worst feeling.
When you get your hair done and it looks bad, it just like it's honestly the worst.
If you've been there, you would know.
It's definitely that warmer tone, which is exactly what I wanted.
So shout out to my hair lady.
I am heading home now.
We have some other things to do still.
Glowing up isn't easy.
It takes, takes some effort.
So something I've been pretty good at recently and I've been trying to stick to is whitening my teeth.
These are these sensitive teeth whitening strips.
Having nice white teeth, I really think makes a big difference.
I'm gonna set a timer on my phone for 30 minutes.
But in the meantime I'm gonna do a little face mask.
This one, this is the acne clearing five minute face mask by glam glow.
I have like the worst pimple right here and honestly, like you can't even see it.
But you know, those pimples that hurt so bad.
Usually those are the ones that you actually see the least, because they're kind of like underground and it won't go away and even though you can't really see it, it's almost like worse that way, because it hurts so bad.
Okay, i think i'll leave this on for five minutes, i'm gonna let both of these sit and uh, i'll be right back.
I don't know if it's the placebo effect.
Anytime i do a face mask, my face feels 10 times better, and i don't even know half the time, if you can tell like it feels better.
You know what i mean.
It's time for the lightning strips to come off.
Wow, they look very white.
They look so good.
What's next you might ask?
Nails.
I'm so excited for this because here's the thing.
My nails have been bare for about two months now.
I got my dip nails off and it's because I knew deep down I needed a break.
My nails were breaking.
They were super weak.
It just wasn't healthy.
So now that my break is over, now they're basically almost fully grown back.
They're so much stronger and I'm just gonna go ruin them again.
But the different thing is this time I thought I would do my own nails, so this company called a press.
They sent me their nail stuff a couple months ago and of course I was in my break period.
I couldn't do it, but I've been waiting to try this.
This could be an absolute fail.
I'm just gonna put that out there.
I'm not a nail tech.
It comes with the binding kit and then obviously, the nails here.
Okay firstly, I'm just buffing my nails.
I'm going in with the first step of this.
You can see there's quite a few.
This is the dehydrator.
This is the coolest cure thing I've ever seen.
Oopsies, I feel like I did too much.
Wait, actually, that's not bad, that's not bad, that's not bad.
I'm gonna cure it now.
The nails are all on.
They don't look the best.
Like underneath you can see kind of like the glue because I feel like I just put too much on.
But it's okay, because now I'm going to do the fun part and I'm going to put on the polish.
So i have three color options.
There's this one, which is a pastel purple, then there's this light green one, which i love, or this one this almost looks white, but it's actually.
I think it's like a very, very light pastel yellow.
I think i'm gonna do this one just because it's closest to like.
Hey guys,
Oh, wow.
So my nails are done.
Are they good?
No.
Yes.
Really?
I think they look good.
You, this is what they look like.
Just don't look too close.
It was my first time, so honestly like it could have been worse and hopefully i'll get like better at it, but it's this light pastel yellow color.
Let's just hope next time's a little bit better.
So i decided that the last step of my glow up would be to do my makeup.
I do my makeup pretty often, so i'm not gonna do an in-depth routine.
I have videos on that already.
Why doesn't my hair hold curl?
Does that happen to anyone else?
I keep hearing this one audio on TikTok of this girl who's like, I think makeup is bad.
It's like a red flag if a girl wears makeup or something.
And I just like actually cannot fathom that someone thinks that.
And now every time I do my makeup, I think about that girl saying that.
Okay guys, so my makeup is finished.
This is basically just my everyday makeup.
If you guys watch me, you would know.
You know, I did say makeup was the final step, but I lied. on accident.
I feel like it's only right to finish off this video by throwing on a really cute outfit.
So I actually just bought this black lace top.
You guys don't understand.
I went to so many stores to find something like this.
And then when I didn't, I just got it online.
So, and then I have some jean shorts.
I'm gonna throw this on and I'll be back.
I love this black tank so much.
I'm pretty sure I got this on PacSun, so I'll link it below.
Also, I decided to wear cargo pants instead of jeans.
I felt like it matched the vibe better.
And obviously some gold jewelry, you guys know me.
I just need to do one final look check.
Well, guys, I think it was a success, except for my nails.
Let's just not talk about that.
But I love you guys.
Thank you so much for watching.
Obviously, this video is lighthearted because you don't need to glow up for any reason, but it is fun to do nice things for yourself.
Anyways, I love you guys.
I'm headed off to LA and I'm actually late, so I'm gonna leave.
But I love you guys and I'll see you in my next video.
Bye, guys.
