EVERYTHING you NEED to know on HOW to GLOW UP — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00If I had to start my glow up, all over
2. 0:01again, this is exactly what I would
3. 0:03focus on. The biggest glow up of my life
4. 0:05took me about 5 years, probably even
5. 0:07longer if we counted the years that I
6. 0:08have tried. And it took so long because
7. 0:11I took the scenic route, okay? I could
8. 0:13have gotten there so much faster if only
9. 0:14I knew, but now you will. 90 days, three
10. 0:16phases, starting with stuff that's
11. 0:18basically guaranteed to work, and then
12. 0:19we move upwards to the next levels. I
13. 0:21know glowing up can feel like a
14. 0:22full-time job, but don't worry, I got
15. 0:24you. The it girls and the it boys
16. 0:25watching this right now, you're all
17. 0:27about to have the biggest glow up and
18. 0:28come up of your lives. If you're new
19. 0:30here, my name is May. I basically live
20. 0:31to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of
21. 0:33our world and of our people. Our
22. 0:35community is full of beautiful people.
23. 0:37We're called Stoic Angels. My angels and
24. 0:39I are into leveling up the body, the
25. 0:40mind, and the spirit. If you want a
26. 0:42really honest conversation and have
27. 0:44actual actionable steps, subscribe
28. 0:46because I haven't found anyone else as
29. 0:48honest as I am with you, to the point
30. 0:50where it is almost to my detriment, but
31. 0:52I care more about my values and my
32. 0:54people than looking perfect because
33. 0:55nobody's perfect, so who cares? The full
34. 0:5790-day blueprint that I made for you is
35. 0:59free that you can also download in the
36. 1:02description with the checklist, the
37. 1:03trackers for every phase so you don't
38. 1:05have to screenshot the whole video.
39. 1:07Better yet, you can follow along the
40. 1:08guide as we go, so go and download it.
41. 1:10Let's talk about the glow up pyramid.
42. 1:11So, picture a pyramid triangle. The
43. 1:13bottom layer is your foundation. Water,
44. 1:15SPF, hygiene, food, movement, sleep,
45. 1:17stress. The middle is your frame. Hair,
46. 1:19brows, your face shape, colors, your
47. 1:21wardrobe, posture, and the top is the
48. 1:23finish. Makeup, skin care, little
49. 1:25grooming details, and the tiny point at
50. 1:27the top is hard maxing, injectables, and
51. 1:29surgery. Many people glow up the other
52. 1:31way round and waste a lot of time and
53. 1:33money and basically undo their own
54. 1:35efforts over time. In this plan, you get
55. 1:3730 days per layer and the tip doesn't
56. 1:39get a single day. I'll tell you why at
57. 1:41the end. First phase is going to be the
58. 1:42foundation, day one through day 30.
59. 1:44Number one, hydrate first. Carry a water
60. 1:47bottle that you actually like and finish
61. 1:49the bottle before lunch, and then do it
62. 1:51again. Many people in my community end
63. 1:53up with about 2 liters a day. I remember
64. 1:56someone once told me she thought the
65. 1:58girls running to the bathroom all day
66. 1:59were being weird until she realized she
67. 2:01was the one being weird because she was
68. 2:02barely drinking any water. A lot of what
69. 2:04we call dull skin and tired eyes and
70. 2:06even the physical aging process is
71. 2:08actually just a dehydrated body. Aging
72. 2:11is literally your body lacking in
73. 2:14moisture. Don't let people tell you it's
74. 2:16genetics or whatever. That is the
75. 2:18greatest cop out in the world. Those
76. 2:21people can enjoy being a victim because
77. 2:23my angels and I, we do not. We try our
78. 2:25best and we overcome. To me, that is the
79. 2:28beauty of life. So, drinking more water
80. 2:31is the cheapest glow up on this list and
81. 2:33I will sacrifice an extra five to 10
82. 2:35bathroom breaks a day to remain healthy
83. 2:38and gorgeous. Number two, SPF every
84. 2:40single day whether it's cloudy, indoors,
85. 2:42by a window, winter, every day. Doesn't
86. 2:44matter, chemical or mineral. While some
87. 2:47are better than others, something is
88. 2:48still better than nothing. And if you
89. 2:50wear long sleeves, you don't need
90. 2:51sunscreen underneath your clothes unless
91. 2:53it's like mesh or something. If you use
92. 2:55any type of retinoid, exfoliating acids,
93. 2:57any kind of light or laser treatment,
94. 2:59sunscreen is completely not optional
95. 3:02because all of those products and
96. 3:04treatments leave your skin more
97. 3:06sensitive to the sun. Sunscreen is going
98. 3:08to be what protects everything else
99. 3:09you're about to put effort into. In a
100. 3:11randomized trial of 903 adults, the
101. 3:14people who wore sunscreen every day
102. 3:16showed no detectable increase in skin
103. 3:18aging after four and a half years. This
104. 3:21means these people visibly aged 24% less
105. 3:24than people who used it whenever they
106. 3:26felt like it. I always say that visible
107. 3:29aging is not chronological and it is
108. 3:31also not solely due to genetics and this
109. 3:33only proves my point. So, if you don't
110. 3:35want to look visibly aged as you get
111. 3:37older, wear sunscreen. Number three,
112. 3:39hygiene but precise. So important to try
113. 3:42and stay clean. I dealt with acne
114. 3:44forever for years because my old living
115. 3:46situation wasn't putting me in the best
116. 3:48environment to have clear skin.
117. 3:50Unfortunately, everyone thought that it
118. 3:51was hormonal issues, but guess what was
119. 3:54causing the hormonal disruption? It was
120. 3:56due to my lack of hygiene. I was a dirty
121. 3:59girl. I didn't wash my face enough or
122. 4:01shower enough. People would actually
123. 4:03hint to me that I was musty and I was
124. 4:05just oblivious. It was just really bad.
125. 4:07For example, wipe your face after you
126. 4:09brush your teeth because your toothpaste
127. 4:11irritates the skin around your mouth and
128. 4:13it's a really common reason for those
129. 4:15little breakouts around your chin and
130. 4:17lips. That happened to me a lot and it
131. 4:19is that noticeable. Changing your bed
132. 4:21sheets once a week. If anything, if you
133. 4:23get this part of your life down where
134. 4:25you're regularly changing sheets, do
135. 4:27your skin care before bedtime, you wash
136. 4:29your face. It will at least make you
137. 4:30feel more accomplished. Like at least
138. 4:31that part of your life is in order. And
139. 4:33I love that idea because hygiene isn't
140. 4:35just about staying clean, but we're
141. 4:37going to bed and we're waking up already
142. 4:38feeling put together. And while we're on
143. 4:40grooming, something that improved my
144. 4:42strawberry legs over time is hair
145. 4:44removal. I'm partnering with Tria on
146. 4:46this video. I am super happy with them.
147. 4:48If you've been here a while, you know
148. 4:50I've seen some ups and downs in my glob
149. 4:51journey. I tried professional lasers for
150. 4:53years and by the way, there are all
151. 4:55kinds of lasers for so many purposes. I
152. 4:57have removed tattoos, scars,
153. 4:59pigmentation, used it to tighten my skin
154. 5:01and so on. The thing is, they worked
155. 5:04really, really well for me for years
156. 5:06until one day it didn't. The last skin
157. 5:08trauma I had was because a technician
158. 5:10didn't know how to work with my skin so
159. 5:12it backfired and I had to deal with the
160. 5:14resulting hyperpigmentation for quite
161. 5:16some time. I also hate shaving because
162. 5:18razors drive me crazy and I am only
163. 5:20starting to heal from years of
164. 5:22strawberry legs. So shaving less
165. 5:24directly helps heal strawberry legs. I
166. 5:27thought to myself, if I can never shave
167. 5:28again, I'd be so happy. So when Tria
168. 5:30reached out to me about the Tria 4X
169. 5:33laser hair removal device, I was like,
170. 5:34wait, this is so cool because
171. 5:36professional lasers can be super
172. 5:38expensive. And like I've said, too
173. 5:39powerful of anything, even if it's a
174. 5:41good thing, is actually not a good
175. 5:43thing. I love at home devices is I feel
176. 5:45more in control of my experience, and
177. 5:47this costs less than one typical session
178. 5:49at the clinic. The wavelength of this
179. 5:51device, which is 810 nanometers, is the
180. 5:53same range in clinical lasers used for
181. 5:55hair removal. They are also promising
182. 5:57permanent results in eight treatments. I
183. 5:59thought it was too good to be true, like
184. 6:00how is this possible? But they've run
185. 6:02clinical trials, and these are indeed
186. 6:04the results. So, I tried it. I did my
187. 6:06second session yesterday because I'm
188. 6:07about to go to the Bahamas next week. I
189. 6:09want to remain bikini ready. By the way,
190. 6:12I still haven't shaved since the first
191. 6:14session since I was no need to. Like
192. 6:16there's maybe like three armpit hairs,
193. 6:17like this small. So small. I'll show you
194. 6:19some pictures. Before this, I will say
195. 6:21I've already reduced my body hair a lot,
196. 6:23so I think that my results are pretty
197. 6:25much permanent if I do it a couple more
198. 6:27times. By the way, this is the only
199. 6:29FDA-cleared laser for permanent hair
200. 6:31reduction you can use at home. Most
201. 6:33at-home hair removal devices I try are
202. 6:35IPL, intense pulsed light. That's a
203. 6:37broad spectrum of light, so it's
204. 6:38temporary. You have to keep using it. I
205. 6:40was also fully expecting it to sting
206. 6:42like the professional lasers or the
207. 6:44typical at-home IPL. I was actually
208. 6:46shocked that it didn't really hurt that
209. 6:47much. On my arms and legs, it just feels
210. 6:50a little warm. Literally like a warm cup
211. 6:52of tea. On the more sensitive areas
212. 6:54though, like my armpits, it does feel
213. 6:55like a rubber band snapping, and less
214. 6:57than 10 seconds, I'm already done, and
215. 6:58it's permanent. If you are the right
216. 7:00candidate for laser hair removal, the
217. 7:02melanin in your hair absorbs the laser.
218. 7:04It heats the follicle at the root, which
219. 7:06then disables the follicle, so the hair
220. 7:07falls out. It has up to 233% more power
221. 7:10than leading IPL devices. I also love
222. 7:13that I'm the one in control of my own
223. 7:14power level. I started lower, and I work
224. 7:16my way upwards as I see how my skin
225. 7:18responds. First of all, you're going to
226. 7:19shave the area to work on, and then
227. 7:21unlock the device by placing the base
228. 7:22against your skin, then choose the power
229. 7:24level, and then hold the tip flat
230. 7:25against my skin, wait for the beep, and
231. 7:27move over with a tiny bit of overlap.
232. 7:29There really is zero downtime. I just go
233. 7:31about my day like nothing happened. They
234. 7:33even have the soothing gel you can apply
235. 7:35after your treatment that helps calm
236. 7:36your skin. I apply extra on more
237. 7:37sensitive parts of my skin. Also, if you
238. 7:39have tattoos like me, they do have a
239. 7:41safety feature on your laser. So, if
240. 7:43it's not the correct skin tone for laser
241. 7:44treatment, the laser doesn't work. Let's
242. 7:46say if we start on day one of this plan
243. 7:47and do it every 2 weeks, you're going to
244. 7:49be about six treatments in by day 90,
245. 7:51and that's the kind of slow cumulative
246. 7:52result I'm talking about. By the eighth
247. 7:54session, up to 100% permanent hair
248. 7:57removal. So, you buy this once compared
249. 7:59to paying per session at a clinic, which
250. 8:01is so expensive because you have to do
251. 8:02multiple sessions or buying razors and
252. 8:04waxing for the rest of your life. I
253. 8:06mean, that alone, holy grail. I also got
254. 8:09the other laser on their website. It's a
255. 8:10fractional laser for dark spots. It
256. 8:12helps with fine lines, too. So, I can't
257. 8:14wait to start using it. We're going to
258. 8:16see how it goes. I'm going to be your
259. 8:17guinea pig. You can use my code May for
260. 8:1910% off anything on their website, and
261. 8:21my link is in the description. Number
262. 8:22four, eat like your face is watching
263. 8:24because it is. It's less about being on
264. 8:25a diet and more about two things that
265. 8:27show up on your face within days, which
266. 8:29is the inflammation from sugar and
267. 8:31alcohol. When I worked in nightlife, I
268. 8:33was so inflamed because of the
269. 8:35lifestyle, and when I cut down on sugar
270. 8:36and alcohol for one single week, just to
271. 8:38try it, I could not believe how much of
272. 8:41the puffiness in my face had just been
273. 8:42from sugar and alcohol. I'm so serious.
274. 8:45That 5:00 a.m. lamb over rice after a
275. 8:47night of drinking every weekend is not a
276. 8:49good idea. I was talking to some of my
277. 8:51coworkers earlier today, like no shade,
278. 8:53who still working in nightlife, like I
279. 8:54can see the inflammation. Don't get me
280. 8:56wrong, I love them, but I hope they
281. 8:58choose a healthier lifestyle because I
282. 8:59know they'd be drinking. Literally,
283. 9:01people I know who cut out alcohol
284. 9:02directly ends up looking way less puffy.
285. 9:04And then, I think about this graphic all
286. 9:06the time where in Spring Breakers,
287. 9:07Harmony Korine had the cast members eat
288. 9:10burgers and junk food so their bodies
289. 9:12are more realistic like normal college
290. 9:14kids. Because it's true, when I was in
291. 9:15college, I ate straight junk all the
292. 9:17time. It's corny because it's true. You
293. 9:19really do become what you eat. So, what
294. 9:21was I? I was falafel sandwich and
295. 9:22burger. And that New York dollar pizza.
296. 9:24I don't think it's a dollar anymore.
297. 9:25Anyways, yes, weight loss actually did
298. 9:28drastically change my looks, so
299. 9:29drastically. And I'll add this as well.
300. 9:31Every time I lost weight fast, it came
301. 9:33back just as fast. What stayed was
302. 9:36slower and more simple? Eating when I'm
303. 9:38hungry, stopping when I'm full, and the
304. 9:40more I stop eating ultra-processed
305. 9:41foods, the more I train myself to lose
306. 9:43interest in ultra-processed foods. Over
307. 9:46time, I didn't even want junk food
308. 9:48anymore, and I know simple doesn't mean
309. 9:49easy to do. And addictions can be hard.
310. 9:52I went through all kinds myself. I
311. 9:54literally went to outpatient for food
312. 9:56addiction, so I know how hard it is. But
313. 9:58everything that's mindset related is
314. 10:00trainable. Whatever is trainable does
315. 10:02get easier over time, and it ripples
316. 10:04outward into every single aspect of your
317. 10:06life and into what you think is possible
318. 10:08for you and what you believe you can
319. 10:10overcome. Number five, meaningful
320. 10:12movement. Finding exercises that you
321. 10:15really like, because that's the only
322. 10:16kind that you will repeat, even if it's
323. 10:18walking 11 minutes a day. For example, I
324. 10:20have friends who are Pilates freaks, and
325. 10:22they never miss a class because it makes
326. 10:24them feel like being a kid again. And if
327. 10:26gym isn't your thing, walk every day or
328. 10:28do bodyweight moves while a podcast is
329. 10:30on. I like to swim, hike, occasionally
330. 10:32do yoga and Pilates, and I stopped
331. 10:34following fitness advice that wasn't
332. 10:36made for my body type. As a result, I am
333. 10:38ending up in the best shape of my life,
334. 10:40and the best is still yet to come.
335. 10:42Swimming for me in particular helps me
336. 10:44overcome my fear of diving and swimming
337. 10:46with sharks, and so on, which I'm
338. 10:49actively doing both right now. And that
339. 10:51to me is insane. That's what life is all
340. 10:53about. Number six is sleep and stress.
341. 10:55This is the most underrated hack for
342. 10:58everything ever. When I was depressed, I
343. 11:00would be in bed until 4:00 p.m. and up
344. 11:03all night. You can see it directly on my
345. 11:05face. I would look puffier and inflamed.
346. 11:08The worst part of all is I couldn't get
347. 11:10anything done. I would feel so terrible
348. 11:12and so tired. My skin would look bad. My
349. 11:15body healed slower. I'm also twice as
350. 11:18stressed because I did everything twice
351. 11:19as slow, and I really just wasn't
352. 11:21working at peak performance. I'm telling
353. 11:23you, nothing, absolutely nothing, fixes
354. 11:26a nervous system that never gets to
355. 11:28rest. Beauty sleep is so crucial to our
356. 11:31health and to our glow. So I try to wind
357. 11:33down at least a couple hours before
358. 11:35bedtime, anything from changing to my
359. 11:37PJs, doing my nighttime routine, stop
360. 11:39scrolling on my phone, we're giving our
361. 11:41brains these little signs and signals
362. 11:43that it's time to go to bed soon. Same
363. 11:45thing with managing our cortisol levels,
364. 11:47it is our responsibility to say no to
365. 11:50too much work or learn how to become
366. 11:52more efficient with it. And we need to
367. 11:54decide when to stop working for the day.
368. 11:56It's really up to us. Sometimes I forget
369. 11:58and it's like 7-day week, 12-hour days,
370. 12:01especially now that I've been working on
371. 12:02the Stoic Angels membership and I have
372. 12:04to set alarms to remind myself to stop
373. 12:06working and go outside for a minute. It
374. 12:09really, really helps. We are not meant
375. 12:11to work all the time. Anxiety and
376. 12:13worrying too much also adds to our
377. 12:15stress. This is why we're called Stoic
378. 12:17Angels. Fundamentally, we can only
379. 12:19control what we can do and we can become
380. 12:21so powerful through owning the things
381. 12:24that we can't, which includes keeping
382. 12:25ourselves as healthy as possible. So,
383. 12:28protect your sleep like an essential
384. 12:30fixed appointment that you can't move
385. 12:32and find something that helps you manage
386. 12:34stress like going for a walk, a bath,
387. 12:36calling a friend, hugging your pet,
388. 12:38finding joy in your life. That is a
389. 12:39must. You have to joy max first before
390. 12:42you looks max. Just remember that you
391. 12:43are a sweet angel who's not only kind to
392. 12:45your face and body, but also your mind
393. 12:47and your spirit. That's why you're
394. 12:49glowing right now because all these
395. 12:51things truly makes you so radiant and
396. 12:52beauty gives people so much purpose and
397. 12:54it radiates outwards into other people,
398. 12:56into our environment. How we live, we
399. 12:58really can't live beautiful lives
400. 13:00without beauty. Sometimes I will hear
401. 13:01about, you know, negative hater comments
402. 13:03like people think my content is vapid or
403. 13:05whatever, but it is simply not true.
404. 13:07Beauty is truly an intellectual and
405. 13:09philosophical pursuit. In fact, you can
406. 13:12even say that education helps us
407. 13:15understand the importance of beauty
408. 13:17because the people who don't understand
409. 13:19beauty also live very sad lives, but
410. 13:21that won't be us, my beauty queens and
411. 13:23my beauty kings. Face suit is going to
412. 13:24be the frame. So, hair is half of your
413. 13:27face, literally. Some of you guys asked,
414. 13:29"How did my face get so small and
415. 13:31snatched?" Listen, my hair is my makeup.
416. 13:34The master of makeup is also the master
417. 13:36of illusion, and I am all smoke and
418. 13:38mirrors, too. So, yeah, half my face is
419. 13:40hidden by my hair. A lot of you think I
420. 13:42have an oval face, and if you saw me
421. 13:44with my hair all pulled all the way
422. 13:45back, you would see that I still have a
423. 13:48round face. It's just more sculpted now
424. 13:50because I lost weight, and my braces
425. 13:52made my jawline stronger from all the
426. 13:54teeth grinding, which is not great, but
427. 13:56it is what it is. And I guess I want it,
428. 13:58I got it. I've also been super
429. 14:00consistent with my lymphatic drainage
430. 14:01massages, which I also will post on my
431. 14:03new Stoic Angels membership platform, so
432. 14:04I look less puffy, especially the more I
433. 14:06keep doing it. I honestly think that it
434. 14:09will help a lot of people. Our fascia is
435. 14:10so underrated when it comes to the way
436. 14:12we look. It even affects our posture and
437. 14:14asymmetry. Anyways, the right haircut
438. 14:16can also completely change the shape
439. 14:19people think your face is. So, I cut off
440. 14:21my split ends whenever I see them to
441. 14:23also preserve my hair length, but if you
442. 14:25have damaged hair, especially in your
443. 14:27ends, go to a good stylist and ask them
444. 14:29to just chop it off, everything that's
445. 14:30damaged. I may even have to do this at
446. 14:32some point, honestly. But, what I did
447. 14:34was I stopped dying and bleaching my
448. 14:36hair because I had super damaged
449. 14:38bleached hair for years, and it couldn't
450. 14:40even grow past my shoulders. I waited
451. 14:43until the health and length came back,
452. 14:45then I switched to an at-home gloss
453. 14:47treatment. My bangs are also
454. 14:49life-changing for me, and it would be
455. 14:51good for you to experiment and see if it
456. 14:53suits you. Either through a beauty app
457. 14:55or a wear thick bangs wig thingy, and
458. 14:58see how you look before making the big
459. 15:00commitment. And if your hair is curly,
460. 15:02don't fight it into a blowout, learn to
461. 15:04work with your curls. I personally think
462. 15:07curly hair is so beautiful and gorgeous.
463. 15:09I would love to have curly hair, but I'm
464. 15:10not built like that, unfortunately. In
465. 15:12fact, I would have to do a lot to my
466. 15:13current hair to maintain curls. So, for
467. 15:15my curly kings and queens, lucky you,
468. 15:17honestly. I love. Number eight,
469. 15:19eyebrows. Good eyebrows can change the
470. 15:21way your face looks. You can feel like a
471. 15:22new person after getting your brows done
472. 15:24and styled. Brows frame your entire face
473. 15:27and they're one of the fastest changes
474. 15:28you can make. If you're not sure what
475. 15:30shape suits you, go and see a
476. 15:32professional brow artist once and then
477. 15:34ask them how to maintain that shape at
478. 15:36home. Brow lamination is also very
479. 15:38popular these days. If you like the look
480. 15:40of thicker brows, again, this is a great
481. 15:42place to experiment and your brows can
482. 15:44really change a lot for you. Number
483. 15:45nine, knowing your colors. Most people
484. 15:47have a handful of colors that make them
485. 15:48look incredible and some that make them
486. 15:50look a little sick and you don't need a
487. 15:52new wardrobe to do that. My favorite
488. 15:54trick is to buy one light scarf or a
489. 15:56cardigan in your best color so that
490. 15:58color sits right next to your face. One
491. 16:01piece, it works with everything. Number
492. 16:0310 is to cut the frump. I shifted my
493. 16:05whole approach to clothes so that I feel
494. 16:07at least a little bit sexy every single
495. 16:09day and not just cute or polished,
496. 16:11right? Something that I wouldn't mind
497. 16:13running into an ex in, but we have to
498. 16:14dress ourselves out of love, not hate.
499. 16:17Instead of wearing clothes that hide
500. 16:18what you want to change, wear clothes
501. 16:20that show off the features you already
502. 16:22love. The most beautiful people I know,
503. 16:24in fact, are just really knowledgeable
504. 16:27about their best features and they work
505. 16:29them to the bone. Number 11, posture. It
506. 16:31is the physical embodiment of
507. 16:33confidence. It's free 99. It changes how
508. 16:36every outfit looks on you. It changes
509. 16:38how you look completely, your aura,
510. 16:41everything. People with good posture
511. 16:43look insanely good automatically and I'm
512. 16:46constantly trying my best to work on my
513. 16:48posture. It's been struggling lately
514. 16:50because I've been editing videos all day
515. 16:52long for that membership for the last
516. 16:53few months. I'm aiming to launch it with
517. 16:55so much content. So like, why am I doing
518. 16:57this myself? I do it for you, actually.
519. 16:59Anyways, hopefully by then my posture
520. 17:01will be flawless, but yeah, desk work
521. 17:03all day long, no good. I wear these
522. 17:05things, by the way, to correct my
523. 17:07posture at the desk. I got it in two
524. 17:08colorways, slack and then pink. It's
525. 17:10been super useful. They're literally
526. 17:12like corsets, but I just searched
527. 17:13posture corrector and I do posture reset
528. 17:16and neck exercises every hour or so, and
529. 17:19back bends are really good to combat
530. 17:21tech neck. I get a weekly deep tissue
531. 17:23massage as well, and it strengthened my
532. 17:25upper back muscles by 50%. And my
533. 17:27shoulders dropped a lot. I'm not even
534. 17:28talking about the good muscles. Like
535. 17:30those knots really add up visually. I
536. 17:32can see a huge difference even after one
537. 17:35session. But if you don't have time for
538. 17:36that, stretch. Shoulders down, slightly
539. 17:39back. Think about drawing your belly
540. 17:41button towards your spine with your
541. 17:42muscles, which is different from sucking
542. 17:44in your stomach because it will realign
543. 17:46your hips and your back. Now, phase
544. 17:47three, we're at the finish line. Number
545. 17:4912 is makeup, and yes, guys, this one's
546. 17:52for you, too. Makeup is a game changer
547. 17:54even for the it boys. Please do not skip
548. 17:56this section. If you're going to take
549. 17:57some tips from girls, you're going to be
550. 17:59ahead of the game. No queen out there is
551. 18:02going to shame you for concealer or
552. 18:04using Chapstick. Why would they? In
553. 18:06fact, they would love that. The only
554. 18:08people who will are guys who are
555. 18:10insecure about their masculinity, and
556. 18:12truly, who cares? My best makeup tip,
557. 18:14which is the one I wish I knew years
558. 18:16ago, dewy light coverage base only
559. 18:18really works on clearer, drier skin. If
560. 18:20you're oily, acne-prone, or have
561. 18:22texture, it shows every bump. It doesn't
562. 18:25cover up any redness, and it slides off
563. 18:28by noon. Matte foundation and powder
564. 18:30products would treat you so much better.
565. 18:32And the flawless Korean and Japanese
566. 18:34makeup look, the glass skin, it's all in
567. 18:37the layering. Thin, thin layers of a
568. 18:39medium coverage semi-matte foundation
569. 18:42around the edges of your face, and the
570. 18:44lighter glowier base only on the center
571. 18:47and the high points, and then spot
572. 18:50conceal in very thin layers. I've been
573. 18:52doing all of my base makeup in layers,
574. 18:54very thin layers lately. I do two layers
575. 18:57of primer, and then I also set it off
576. 19:00with a setting spray. My foundation
577. 19:01lately, which is a BB cream, I'm doing
578. 19:03like five, six thin layers. And it's
579. 19:05been a huge improvement because my
580. 19:06makeup doesn't get clumpy anymore. And
581. 19:08remember, too, like who you're comparing
582. 19:10yourself to when you compare your skin,
583. 19:13do not compare yourself to me because
584. 19:15you see how many lights I'm sitting in
585. 19:17front of and you can tell with my
586. 19:18eyeballs, by the way. Anyone's skin can
587. 19:20look incredible with amazing lighting.
588. 19:22Also, a lot of celebrities with glass
589. 19:24skin are probably on low-dose Accutane.
590. 19:27They probably see a dermatologist very
591. 19:30regularly and then they still get
592. 19:32airbrushed. You're most likely comparing
593. 19:33your real face to a face with a ton of
594. 19:35upkeep done to it. Number 13, skin care
595. 19:38one product at a time. Skin care changed
596. 19:40the game for me, but it's near the top
597. 19:42of the pyramid for a reason. So, my rule
598. 19:44is whatever skin concerns you're dealing
599. 19:46with, wait 2 weeks between introducing
600. 19:48new products so you know what's actually
601. 19:50working and what's breaking you out. I
602. 19:52stick to the same few evidence-based
603. 19:54ingredients and rotate products around
604. 19:56them. If you start a retinoid, start low
605. 19:58and slow and please do not put tretinoin
606. 20:00right next to your eyes. I have had dry
607. 20:03eyes for years. It was chronic. My eye
608. 20:05doctor couldn't figure it out until I
609. 20:08stopped using Trets for a while. My dry
610. 20:11eyes literally went away. As it turns
611. 20:13out, it can affect the oil glands on
612. 20:15your eyelids and cause long-lasting dry
613. 20:17eyes. And because tretinoin travels on
614. 20:19your skin, you actually still get the
615. 20:20benefits even if you don't apply it in
616. 20:22your infraorbital area, basically your
617. 20:24eye socket area. And ask your
618. 20:26dermatologist before you start any
619. 20:27prescription. Number 14, the little
620. 20:29things that add up. So, I'm not perfect
621. 20:31at doing everything every day, but every
622. 20:33few days I do one small beauty thing.
623. 20:35Whitening strips, a hair mask in the
624. 20:36shower, I touch up my nails, which I do
625. 20:38myself these days. I trim my brow hair,
626. 20:41trim my split ends, nothing crazy, but
627. 20:43it all adds up. That's the energy for
628. 20:45our last month. People will notice
629. 20:48teeth, nails, lashes, how you smell. I
630. 20:50love to do a lash lift and tint every 6
631. 20:52weeks and a nice perfume with clean
632. 20:54ingredients, maintain clean nails. I
633. 20:56cannot maintain clean nails, so I have
634. 20:58to cover it up with my acrylics. I swear
635. 21:00having claws also stops me from picking
636. 21:03my scabs because your girl has ADHD. So,
637. 21:07know yourself and understand yourself.
638. 21:09And do the small things on repeat so
639. 21:11that it's not a chore. Now, the capstone
640. 21:13is going to be hard maxing. Injectables,
641. 21:16medspas, surgery, I do not recommend any
642. 21:18of this until you have done everything
643. 21:20else first and feel like you still want
644. 21:21it, then go and explore it. Some people
645. 21:23think that I'm against it, but I'm
646. 21:24against illiteracy. Know what you're
647. 21:26getting into and know what you're paying
648. 21:28for. For example, I see a lot of younger
649. 21:31girls get preventative baby Botox for
650. 21:33anti-aging, but it's actually not
651. 21:35preventative. What actually ages a face
652. 21:37is the structures underneath the skin
653. 21:39slowly moving down because of gravity,
654. 21:42plus losing the baby fat on your face,
655. 21:45and Botox doesn't touch any of that.
656. 21:47Botox prevents signs of immobility, not
657. 21:50signs of aging, and fine lines do not
658. 21:52necessarily make you look older. For
659. 21:54example, I have no Botox right now. When
660. 21:57I talk, maybe even without lights on,
661. 21:59you can see my mouth lines and you can
662. 22:01see how expressive my face is. People
663. 22:03will get Botox so they don't do that or
664. 22:05have the forehead thing, and they just
665. 22:07look like this.
666. 22:09These days, the girls are also getting
667. 22:11biostimulators instead of filler.
668. 22:13Personally for me, when I'm 60, I might
669. 22:15look into fat transfer and a facelift,
670. 22:17and I think that's all for me. And that
671. 22:19won't come for another, I don't know, a
672. 22:21few decades. And I've had two nose jobs
673. 22:23because the first one was really not
674. 22:24great, and I got chest implants, and
675. 22:27none of this is taboo, okay? I don't
676. 22:29know why. Like, we can talk about these
677. 22:30things, okay? A lot of haters love to
678. 22:32tell me that I obviously have limiting
679. 22:33beliefs about manifestation because I
680. 22:35got plastic surgery. That is not true at
681. 22:37all. Everyone has limiting beliefs. I
682. 22:39know mine very well. I also dig deep and
683. 22:42I still get my results. I'd rather do
684. 22:43all of that than pretend I don't have
685. 22:45any. This is why we do our shadow work
686. 22:47integration. Look at me. I wanted it, I
687. 22:50got it. Surgery was one method of
688. 22:51getting what I wanted, but I don't want
689. 22:53to influence anyone to do this. The risk
690. 22:56can be high. Trust me, I have lived
691. 22:58through it. I have almost
692. 22:59through it. You need to decide for
693. 23:02yourself, but I also did mention before
694. 23:04your end goals for your glow up. You
695. 23:06need to know what the end goal is. For
696. 23:08example, I have uneven eyelids which
697. 23:11makes my eyes look different sizes
698. 23:12sometimes. It doesn't bother me because
699. 23:14I can fix that with makeup. So, I will
700. 23:17not be getting eye surgery. People think
701. 23:19I did absolutely everything when I just
702. 23:20got good at makeup and lost a lot of
703. 23:22weight. Only the people who know will
704. 23:24know. The ones who don't, they don't.
705. 23:26This is why I emphasize inner work. If
706. 23:28you have done the top of the pyramid and
707. 23:29you still wonder why you feel insecure
708. 23:31still, please I suggest you read this
709. 23:34book called Psycho-Cybernetics. It's
710. 23:36written by a plastic surgeon who
711. 23:37observed the same thing in his patients.
712. 23:39Spoiler alert, they failed to update
713. 23:42their self-concept. I have a video on
714. 23:44that as well if you want to watch it
715. 23:46next. So, before you change anything,
716. 23:47ask yourself why you want to glow up,
717. 23:49why you think something is wrong with
718. 23:50you, and what you're willing to give up
719. 23:52to become who you want to be. Everything
720. 23:54that you do or do not do have
721. 23:56consequences. So, what are you willing
722. 23:58to deal with? If you don't believe you
723. 24:00deserve to look and feel better, no
724. 24:01amount of skin care will convince you.
725. 24:03So, whatever beliefs you have about
726. 24:04yourself, acknowledge it, work with
727. 24:06them, dig it up, and then we can build.
728. 24:08This is exactly what I'm building inside
729. 24:11my new membership. Stoic Angels is where
730. 24:13we do daily inner work practices,
731. 24:14brainwash ourselves to have an
732. 24:16incredible glow up, regulate our nervous
733. 24:18system, and I am uploading so many
734. 24:20videos that the YouTube algorithm will
735. 24:21hate because it is not clickbait. And
736. 24:23I'll put all of that on my platform. I'm
737. 24:24launching at the end of this month. I'm
738. 24:26so nervous. I'm so excited. You can join
739. 24:28my waitlist with the link in the
740. 24:29description. So, 90 days though,
741. 24:31foundation first and then your frame and
742. 24:33the finish and capstone only if you
743. 24:35still want it after all of that. Now,
744. 24:37tell me in the comments which phase
745. 24:39you're going to start off with. And tell
746. 24:40me which one is the one that you've been
747. 24:42skipping and you want to work on. And
748. 24:43affirm with me, I am building my glow up
749. 24:46from the ground up. I believe you all
750. 24:48beautiful people. You are all my beauty
751. 24:50kings and queens. I love you all, and
752. 24:53I'll see you in the next video.
753. 25:02>> Hey.
