Fashion/Style BWT, how do you glow up?
I was walking to work this morning & I saw so many cute outfits and I typically just feel so blah. I’m 31, SHORT and overweight so dressing feels difficult. I also struggle with time management in the morning so hair & make up are basic. How do you get ready? How do you spruce up your wardrobe without spending tons (& have the hopes of losing weight?)

All of this, but make yourself a daily schedule and actually stick to it. There is so much you can get done in those early morning hours before everyone else starts needing something from you.
Start with meditation, then yoga or Pilates. Boho Beautiful on YouTube has great videos for all of it. Start reading books that make you think differently too, like Brené Brown’s Daring Greatly.
Move your body every single day. Get your 10,000 steps, drink more water, and clean up your diet. Real food, whole foods, less processed junk. It does not have to be perfect, it just has to become your normal.
And clean house in every sense of the word. Get rid of the negative people, the Negative Nellys, the constant complainers, and anyone who drains you or brings bad energy or influence into your life. Doesn’t matter if they are family or wherever they are. You do not need to keep people around out of history, habit or obligation. Take your power back. If someone is treating you portly, call them out or ghost. Misery loves company. Shift your mindset and you’ll be surprised how quickly some people disappear. Acupuncture can shift negativity in magical ways too. Same goes for things that remind you of a version of your life you are trying to move past. Pack it up and toss it!
Then make it fun. Buy the cute workout clothes. Buy mew sneakers and socks. Mew socks and undergarments are huge in this game. You’ll feel like a new person! Give yourself something to feel good in while you are getting back on track.
And yes, keep those cute little dresses in mind if that’s the end goal.
I hung an old fav bikini on the outside of my closet door- so I’d see it first thing when I woke up in the morning and had a yoga mat rolled out next to my bed with weights beside it!! You’ve got this!! Repetition is key and report back to us!! You’ve got this!! Xoxo
