Your 2026 Glow Up Guide

Let’s kick off where every real glow up starts: clarity. Before the new routines, workouts, and organization hacks, you need to decide what your goals are this year- and you don’t need 12 goals, you just need a few goals you can actually commit to.

Writing it down = manifesting, so time to create your 2026 vision board! Call your best friend. Open Pinterest. Light a candle. Put on a playlist. Make it a moment. Pro tip: make a digital version as well in Canva and make it your phone lock screen.

✅ Pick 2-3 focus areas for the year

✅ Write down 3 goals you want to achieve

✅ For each goal, select 1 habit that helps

✅ Schedule a vision board night

This step makes everything else possible. Because you can have the cutest productivity system in the world, but if you’re burned out, overwhelmed, or constantly running on empty…it’s going to be hard to stay consistent.

Self-care isn’t a once-a-month spa night, it’s the everyday rituals that make you feel safe, calm, and supported. Pro tip: the best self-care routines are the ones you can do on your busiest day. Keep it simple, repeatable, and realistic.

✅ Build a morning + evening routine

✅ Upgrade your sleep habits

✅ Add mental wellness support

✅Choose one self-care ritual to repeat weekly

✅ Create a cozy, safe space in your home

This Glow Up Guide is sponsored by BetterHelp because mental wellness is part of the glow up too. Therapy can be a powerful way to build confidence, set boundaries, manage stress, and support your growth as you step into your future self. You don’t need to wait for a crisis to invest in yourself - sometimes you just need support while you’re leveling up.

This is your “get your sh*t together” step but in a chic, non-overwhelming way. Organization isn’t about being perfect. It’s about making your life easier, your space calmer, and your routines more effortless. When your environment feels good, you naturally show up better.

✅ Organize your digital life

✅ Closet clean out

✅ Elevate your WFH desk space

✅ Budget + spending check in

✅ Re-organize cluttered spaces

In collaboration with Sierra Dreams, because the fastest way to feel like you have your life together is a home reset. There’s something about refreshing your space that instantly shifts your mindset. When your home feels clean, cozy, and elevated, everything feels easier. ✨ Your home glow up starts with the essentials:

Pro tip: Start with the spaces you touch every day - your bed, your bathroom, and your couch. Small upgrades there create the biggest shift.

This step is what turns your glow up into a lifestyle. Because yes, we love a productive queen: but you also deserve fun, hobbies, and creativity. It can be reading more, trying a new hobby, learning something new, decorating a corner of your home, or planning fun experiences with friends. This is where you add some passion to your routine! 🎨 Pro tip: treat your hobbies like your 9–5. You wouldn’t skip a work meeting, so don’t ghost the fun stuff either!

✅ Try out a new hobby

✅ Host a girls night

✅ Cook a new recipe

✅ Try a new local experience

✅ Explore a new town or city
