Same. I just bought a bunch of new clothes because my old ones no longer fit and omg my closet makes me so happy! Now I’m back to wanting to wear makeup and feeling pretty.
The key to a lasting transformation is seeing the beauty in yourself, even while suffering and at your “worst”. You can’t hate yourself into your best self. You can have the perfect job, partner, body, friends, money, house, and still be miserable on the inside- hating and re-punishing yourself. At the root of it is usually some hateful words you heard from a trusted person in your past. You have to identify the lies and find where that isn’t the case back then or now. There, you can find wholeness.
Last time I tried to glow up, I did it out of self hate, but now I genuinely love myself. I feel this difference is going to make me successful this time.
Here are my tips ❤. -cut off toxic relationships (saying no feels so good). -I got an ordinary serum and a gua sha, it made such a difference tbh. -I do only basics: cut my own hair, but expensive shampoo that smells amazing, luxury shower gel, but a mini version & just always clean -water; but I also let myself drink whatever else (tea I hate, but I cut out sugar-free soda). Sleep And then that’s mostly it tbh. And I eat only what I like (even if bell peppers for instance are healthy I hate them, so no point forcing urself). ❤
@@black-ij3uiin a Logic way - maybe, But I bought products for 5-10$, And they last a month at least, And the only other version I could order would be 30-50$ for the big version. It’s about the quality :)
I need to cut off my toxic relationship. I'm constantly walking on eggshells, getting accused of things for no reason. My bf is an alcoholic. No matter what I say or do, it is pointless. I cannot win against an alcoholic. I've been eating healthy and exercising 4-5 days a week but I've still been gaining excessive weight. I honestly think this is due to high stress. I will get a checkup with my doctor to make sure there are no longer underlying issues. I have a hard time cutting things because I'm always optimistic enough to assume there will be growth. He can only help himself at this point. The people that need the most help are constantly in denial.
I started getting monthly facials last year, and it’s been a huge game changer. I get compliments on how clear and even my skin looks. Of course pairing it with a good skin care routine also helps.
I’m happy you posted this. Going through a breakup and when change occurs you need to lean into change and embrace it. Use it as a catalyst to change other aspects of your life.
thats what i did. Got rejected after i fell in love and instead of using food to cope like i usually do, i try to cope with sports and trying to take care of myself whilst not punishing myself when i falter on my health and weight loss journey ! Painful experiences are often an opportunity to build a stronger foundation for who you are as a person.
dermatologist is a yes. they put me on spironolactone dapsone gel and tretinoin and 8 months later my skin is as smooth as a baby. But i think changing my eating habits also helped a lottt
I love how transparent and honest you’ve delivered your tips on this video. Like your incorporation of your past history and self-reflection. It gives big sister and “sis this is what I went thru, now do this, this is better” vibes.👏❤
Im working on glowing up right now. Im 33. For all of my twenties, i was depressed, i thought i was the ugliest person in the world that deserved to be raped etc. I got help for mental health, and i remember last year when i was 32, i realized i was beautiful, and i cried. For so long, i wanted to be beautiful, and i was all along. 😅😊 sometimes it takes an outsider to help you. Family sucks but not all the time
Absolute yes to the weight loss. Life is dramatically different at BMI 19 vs BMI 23. Minor health problems just vanish. Energy levels are way better. And one can like it or not, but people do treat you differently. I wish I had understood the gravity of this much earlier.
Thank you so much Mei, you helped me gain so much more confidence and positivity in my life while still putting down boundaries. Im now in more of an emotional stump now because of my school stuff and i love watching your videos to give me confidence and motivation
I'm currently on my weightloss journey. It's been 3 months and I've lost about 5 inches from my waist. Yay!! All I did was stop eating junk food, i still eat normal meals. And I exercise but it's nothing difficult. Plus my back, legs, and knee feel awesome, they don't hurt anymore. Edited: because I meant 3 months not three weeks, autocorrect was going based off a previous work schedule texts I was talking about with someone from work.
@Samkainsta damn autocorrect. It was supposed to say 3 months, but damn girl. Calm down, you could have phrased your message better instead of coming across all condescending and rude, because of a typo from autocorrect. Also, 1 inch of fat does not equate to 9lbs of fat for everyone. 🙄 It may be different for everyone since everyone's body is different and some people carry more water weight than others. For me I lost a little over an one and a half inches each month, which is doable when I don't eat junk food or fast food, but I still get to eat good foods I enjoy.
I have SUPER protruding, big, round eyes. I look like I'm out of a Tim Burton movie. For the longest time, I did winged eyeliner, because that was just _the_ eyeliner when I was a teenager, but now instead of doing heavy black winged liquid eyeliner, I use a brown pencil to do just the outer corners in a downturned puppy-dog sort of liner and _oh lordy, it makes such a difference_
better to try different Japanese, French, etc videos. Tonya zavasta, Valeria valeska, yasuko nakamura, & others ii cycle through, along with Carole Maggie, Carolyn cleaved, and a handful of dermatologists & aestheticians whose tips and techniques can be mixed and matched with dermarolling, gua sha, reflexology, derma stamping, myofascial massage, etc.
@Samkainsta um. Realistically? Realistically, you are wrong to assume she will be walked all over. How exactly do you know that? You can't assume those kinds of things. She looks so healthy and strong willed, I don't think she will put up with being walked all over nor do I think she has the time for it. Strong women won't put up with that shit. You are completely biased about the tattoos and makeup too. Yes, some people are not into that. Just as some people are not into the plain look. Different strokes for different folks, as they say. The only one that will matter either way is the one who loves her for every part of her and finds her beautiful with or without. Something you should learn. There are far more people in the world than you realize and many people would find her absolutely beautiful and sexy for the things you mentioned. Her makeup also isn't even heavy. But okay. Think what you want to think, as I said you are biased. ✌🏻🐔
the teeth thing is SO true. ive gotten braces twice. the first time was to fix my crooked teeth, but because of that, my teeth became extremely flared. and so i got braces again and had to get my teeth filed down on the sides so they could move back in and not flare. when i tell you the bottom portion of my face looks completely different now.
@benson3287 you can always try going back to the same place and tell them you werent exactly satisfied, so they might give you a discount for your second round of braces.
Crazy before and after good job! Its a harsh reality to accept that physical health and attraction/how you look really does make a big difference in quality of life and opportunity but my opinion is real self love is wanting to give yourself the gift of more open doors in life. Kinda the same way you would feel about ur child being overweight and unhealthy. you dont personally care and it doesn't effect how you love them but you still would want to seem them flourish and to see the world receive your child in a positive way.
Your natural hair color always looks best on you. I’ve had every color imaginable and growing it out has always looked the best. As much as I loved being blonde, it washes me out. And yes, I’ve tried different shades and tones of blonde.
This is so interesting because I ended up losing weight by eating twice a day (since I wouldn't feel hungry again until early evening.) I realised that eating my dinner early in the evening really helped with weight loss as well as drinking 2.5-3 liters of water every single day really helped me too. I used to have horrible hormonal acne but once I stuck to some basic skincare given to me by my dermatologist, began drinking lots of water, worked out every (very basic exercises, mostly pilates) and just eating well overall, my skin cleared up and I only break out with one or two pimples around my period that would clear out within a week or so. I'm still trying to lose weight but nearly everything you say here, I've been doing without realising and I've been getting results without sacrificing my happiness. I've realised that having a nutritious diet doesn't even make me crave unhealthy food, at least not as often as before. This is great advice imo. Edit: one thing I wanted to add, many people don't realise that break out a lot (especially around this chin and jawline) because they don't poop regularly or have gut problems, which eventually really affects your hormones and overall bodily functions (according to my derm and gyno.) Fixing your diet and drinking lots of water can definitely improve that.
ISTG this is a sign from the universe that I'm going to glow up drastically 111!!!! Update: Gonna start exercising got 28 days till school and going on a diet but since I have braces hopefully that shouldn't be too hard and also got new clothes and accessories btw gonna have to learn how to get used to long fake nails also investing in my own skincare routine again!! Drink more teas hopefully and all that good stuff Update: have been going back to exercising, dieting and drinking lots of water and investing in skincare one thing that I noticed and changed about myself is doing too many workouts in one day that worked every muscle other than focusing on one and letting it heal, so I changed it to exercising on a specific part of my body each day like full body on Sunday or Glutes on Friday 3 sets of 10 minutes exercises for all of my exercises or even 5 sets for 6 minute one's LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT MY WORKOUTS AND I'LL POST MY PLAYLIST ON HERE OR PUT IT PUBLIC!!! UPDATE: Bleached and dyed my hair blonde and have been doing good!!! UPDATE: I changed up my exercises and divided them into days and will do full body workouts too on days that I workout for any type of one UPDATE: Tried on some old slacks and they fit looser than before ☺️ UPDATE: Got a gym membership finally!!!! UPDATE: getting more school supplies for school 😁 UPDATE: GOT A JOB!!! ALSO AM STARTING SCHOOL SOON GOING TO OPEN HOUSE THIS WEEK UPDATE: JOB IS AMAZING GOT PAID A LOT LIKE $200-300 BIWEEKLY PLUS TIPS ALSO GOT $100 TIP then I'm going to restart doing my exercises I was glowing up while doing this and was a size 5 but now I have to restart due to not being consistent again but imma try it again
Just wanted to give thanks for helping me on my self improvement journey. I’ve been going through a break up and have been just really focused on improving myself thank you!
The weight loss or muscle gain and clear skin are big changes. Those always make me feel good. Also I got a super duper fancy facial at a spa last week and she was like you're only 37. You don't have wrinkles you're just stressed. And after all the treatments my forehead wrinkles and crows feet were gone and my face was way more relaxed. So yeah. Sometimes what you see in the mirror isn't a permanent thing, just a signifier of your current life style lol
Ever since i discovered this channel i am so obsessed with watching everything or watching some videos a couple of times, this channel has been helping me grow mentally emotionally and physically, i wanna do better for me and i am going to .... thank you so much for sharing ❤
yr singing my song...glad you appeared on my reel stack...just so you know...maintenance gets easier with consistency...and results speak for themselves... ii don't discuss much with folk unless they really want to make a change over gossiping or complaining...people can be jealous and make mean comments but won't make the effort to correct what they are unused to... you make good points abt persistence even when the mirror doesn't seem to show results... some things are a fast(er) fix, most take individual time based on metaholism & discipline. Ty.
I know its a bit excessive but i usually do 2 10 minute videos one for facial exercises and one for collar bones. It really does help! But requires alot of motivation 😭
Better looks = having enough money to afford quality skin and hair products sometimes in addition to facials and maybe fillers , also affording healthy food and having enough time for self care .....don't be harsh on yourself if you're a college student or an employee with a small paycheck
I have struggled with sticking to a routine whenever I try to glow up but I'm very determined to improve myself by the end of this year so I think this popping up on my algorithm was definitely a sign. a lot of these tips I have not heard from other "glow up" advice videos so thank you very much :) I'm just tired of not being happy with what I see in the mirror
@@BJWOOD going well so far! the facial massages are a bit time consuming in the morning so i tend to do them at night instead. i've been on the treadmill most days (doing speed walking 2/3x a week and running 2/3x a week) and i'm eating more nutritious foods than processed. not much of a noticeable difference in my face yet since I only started doing the massages on Friday but it usually takes more than a week or two to notice a difference (in my past experience). I have noticed my skin has started to glow more since starting the massages though :)
I've always felt i was quite pretty growing up until in highschool, the kids there started bullying me for my face and tbh i was sad but it was a sort of wake up call for, at first i wanted to glow up for their approval i did, for a while but years later in senior High school i got bullied again haha i must've been caught lackin,it ruined me so much that i started harming my own body, eventually i seeked some help and now i want to glow up for myself because glow up or not i want myself to have a beautiful life full of joy and peace and i deserve every bit of it
I got inspired to change during Covid quarantine when people were making jokes about coming out of quarantine and everyone having an anime time skip design. I started losing weight so people would see my time skip design 😭 and I’m still working to make positive changes in my life. I didn’t know it would be a consistent years long process to make these huge changes
Hey mae , great to see you again, I just wanted to say I really love your videos, you give off this super cool older sister vibe! I love how you are humble while still being confident and self-assured, do you think you could make a video on how to be like that?
I can't stop commenting because I love this video so much and I agree with everything. I'm so excited to see the next Gen of girls helping eachother our and sharing health and beauty tips.
As someone who has dealt with oily, acne-prone skin my whole life (thanks, genetics 🙃) I think a lot of people underestimate the power of sleep for skin health. Literally the only thing that has ever had any effect on my acne was accutane, but I was unable to do a 2nd round 3 years after the first when I needed it, because I had a reaction that put me in the ER. I was basically forced by circumstance to try to adjust everything else to control my acne, and the single thing that made a hugely visable difference immediately was making sure I got enough sleep. I have never used a product that made as much difference as a solid 7 to 8 hours or sleep does. I still have the occasional breakout, but it normally coincides with having gotten 6 or less hours of sleep the night or 2 previous.
As far as recomping goes, you need to eat HEALTHY FOOD. Vegetables, low fat proteins, drink water. It’s not as simple as eat more calories or less calories. You gain weight with eating more calories than you burn and vice versa. If you’re looking to lose fat, it’s that simple. If you want to have a toned, strong physique, you HAVE TO EAT HEALTHY CALORIES. Not just less calories than you burn. You’re going to be skinny fat if you eat shit food while losing weight.
ehhh as someone that had acne since I was in elementary and even some time to time as a 12TH grader , water will not do much if the acne is a hormonal thing. I would drink 5-6 bottles of water everyday and that didn’t help me. I stopped eating junk food so excessively and skin care def helped me too. When I first started my skin care routine I wouldn’t get a pimple in MONTHS which for me personally is very rare
Does anyone have tips against binge eating? I´ve basically done it all my life and I don´t know if I can even stop at all by now. has been so ingrained and is such a big part of my life :(
Yesssss I do! -are any of ur relationships violent? Like for instance does someone mistreat u and then u eat? If so, throw the person away. -allergies? -do you eat enough- because u probably don’t Other than that: Stop forcing urself to eat „clean“, or „healthy“. I had a friend who made himself eat tuna because it’s health-food. Do u do that? If u hate eggplants, don’t eat them, If a Coca Cola satiates u, Drink one (maybe not sugar-free). Most of all it helped me to really eat WHATEVER I WANT, The moment I no longer restricted what I eat, I stopped with the quantity. And of course see a doctor in case u have deficiencies (say iron), For me it was an allergy which made me throw up often, And then I’d overeat. X
yes queen i recently stopped this is what i did! Think of eating ask not a task but as something that you need to do only when its required, when i say this i mean dont just eat bc ur bored! And when ur eating chew slowly to really get to taste your food and let your brain process thaf youre eating! While youre eating before you finish all ur food ask urself "am i still hungry?" If ur not then just save it for tommorow c: also try to find the root of whats causing this! Is it trauma? Things like that and lmk if u need more help
I don't binge eat but I do tend to over eat a lot one thing that helps me is : -stop thinking food is my enemy , food can nurture my body , I can eat anything I want but I don't need large amounts of it - you can eat healthy food that you like you don't have to force yourself to eat healthy foods you don't like for instance I love corn, carrots,green beans, cabbages, fruit ( sugar from fruit isn't bad because it's natural sugar what's bad is processed sugar) and etc - I really like sparkling water, crystal light flavor packets, tea, I don't have a problem with drinking water cause I love water, I love probiotic drinks too - carbs like bread aren't bad we need carbs for carbohydrates,why? Carbohydrates gives us energy but it's a difference between eating them and just over eating - if you're still hungry fix another plate of food , the more you fight your cravings the worse the binged get , also drink some water in the process it makes you less prone to overeating ( Also sometimes I cook food and I don't eat it 😭it's like my eyes look at the food and eat for me , which is another problem our eyes eat more than we do)
i would make sure you're eating foods that actually make you feel full. prioritize protein, but carbs are also important. also make sure to stay hydrated. its hard to binge whenever you've been eating foods that are truly good for you. also whenever you eat out of boredom, try to find ways to fill the time rather than eating
I have been a chameleon I call it, my entire life. Friends who never saw me for 6 months would not notice me in the store. I always find the changes really invigorating as I grew spiritually and looked how I felt inside. Which gave me more confidence, feeling comfortable in my own skin.
I drink water only, I drink peppermint tea and herb tea every day , I don’t eat meat And my acne still did not change n I do this since years.. yea I drink coffee w milk n sugar every morning okay People eat McDonald’s everyday n still have better skin than I have Also I use good and not too much skin care
I expected to see tons of comments about it but since there aren't many, I have to say that This is AN INSANE GLOW UP, Mae! You're so powerful! Thank you for your videos🩷🎀
You're so right about the tongue! I had braces for an underbite 20 years ago and my ortho told me to do so to keep my jaw in place. My face looks much better and me teeth and jaw remain proper without a retainer
I love that you are just like me, but if i was better being what i want to be. Like the big sister ive always wanted. For me seeing you has always something so emotional. Am kind of the baddie, and people look out to me as like this perfect mix between tradition and innovation, practixality and aesthetixs. But girl. You are the real OP. So brave; it would be easier to play innocent. At least for me; you are so beautiful that makes me see a bit of gods love by seeing you, and makes me feel better. Gods not dead f9r moments.
Friends unfriending you is actually unfortunately relatable. Ive heard MANY successful people say that they lost supporters once they started getting good results and many people envy them. Theres alway's gonna be haters, let them hate
at first I thought this video was another generic "glow up" video where the already-pretty creator gets their nails done and changes their hair, cleans their room and puts on make up and makes a video about it. Not that there's anything WRONG with that; those are glow ups as well, but this video seems catered to people who actually need to change themselves for the better, mentally and physically. As you said, when you suffered from extreme acne from your teenage years and feeling so ashamed you couldn't take a picture, i immediately was drawn into this video, like I found a creator who understood me. I love that you describe it as a long progress of consistency and confidence and not a "one day and done" thing. The second you started talking I knew this video would be extremely helpful. I love how you suggested taking supplements and drinking tons of water, but also being realistic and enjoying things you like to eat instead of only consuming "healthy" foods. I also love how you said that it's better to consume things rather than have a 20-step skin care routine, because your skin reflects your inner health. This gave me so much motivation. Then, when you finally get your inner self back to healthy, you can start to change your hair, style, nails, room, etc.

This is toxic, 23 is perfectly healthy and 19 is almost underweight. Studies show even being slightly overweight is healthier than underweight
@Samkainstaright like bmi 23 is awesome lol. If anything bmi 19 is more of the unhealthy one since it’s about near underweight

you are the glow up idol I needed after a break up thank you
17:24 yeah some people have no idea how makeup can dramatically affects a person's look.. Fantastic video as always! 💜
The bangs look great on you as well as the hime cut
14:07 and for purple blush if u have olive undertone, and if both colors pink and orange look good then ur neutral 🩵😜
This is so interesting because I ended up losing weight by eating twice a day (since I wouldn't feel hungry again until early evening.) I realised that eating my dinner early in the evening really helped with weight loss as well as drinking 2.5-3 liters of water every single day really helped me too. I used to have horrible hormonal acne but once I stuck to some basic skincare given to me by my dermatologist, began drinking lots of water, worked out every (very basic exercises, mostly pilates) and just eating well overall, my skin cleared up and I only break out with one or two pimples around my period that would clear out within a week or so. I'm still trying to lose weight but nearly everything you say here, I've been doing without realising and I've been getting results without sacrificing my happiness. I've realised that having a nutritious diet doesn't even make me crave unhealthy food, at least not as often as before. This is great advice imo.
Edit: one thing I wanted to add, many people don't realise that break out a lot (especially around this chin and jawline) because they don't poop regularly or have gut problems, which eventually really affects your hormones and overall bodily functions (according to my derm and gyno.) Fixing your diet and drinking lots of water can definitely improve that.
ISTG this is a sign from the universe that I'm going to glow up drastically 111!!!!
Update: Gonna start exercising got 28 days till school and going on a diet but since I have braces hopefully that shouldn't be too hard and also got new clothes and accessories btw gonna have to learn how to get used to long fake nails also investing in my own skincare routine again!! Drink more teas hopefully and all that good stuff
Update: have been going back to exercising, dieting and drinking lots of water and investing in skincare one thing that I noticed and changed about myself is doing too many workouts in one day that worked every muscle other than focusing on one and letting it heal, so I changed it to exercising on a specific part of my body each day like full body on Sunday or Glutes on Friday 3 sets of 10 minutes exercises for all of my exercises or even 5 sets for 6 minute one's LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT MY WORKOUTS AND I'LL POST MY PLAYLIST ON HERE OR PUT IT PUBLIC!!!
UPDATE: Bleached and dyed my hair blonde and have been doing good!!!
UPDATE: I changed up my exercises and divided them into days and will do full body workouts too on days that I workout for any type of one
UPDATE: Tried on some old slacks and they fit looser than before ☺️
UPDATE: Got a gym membership finally!!!!
UPDATE: getting more school supplies for school 😁
UPDATE: GOT A JOB!!! ALSO AM STARTING SCHOOL SOON GOING TO OPEN HOUSE THIS WEEK
UPDATE: JOB IS AMAZING GOT PAID A LOT LIKE $200-300 BIWEEKLY PLUS TIPS ALSO GOT $100 TIP then I'm going to restart doing my exercises I was glowing up while doing this and was a size 5 but now I have to restart due to not being consistent again but imma try it again
Rooting for you girlie
i’m so incredibly proud of you, keep us updated lovey
@@b2o_yori thank you 😊
@@jada6641 well do!
@@jada6641 thank you well do sorry thought I sent it
Just wanted to give thanks for helping me on my self improvement journey. I’ve been going through a break up and have been just really focused on improving myself thank you!
exact same here ! We got this and we will find someone someday that fits us well but in the meantime we have ourselves and it’s so beautiful
This is insane. I was looking for this and it was posted today.
You're one of the only betterment UA-camrs that actually give good advice and are practical and not about that whole "manifest" bs
The weight loss or muscle gain and clear skin are big changes. Those always make me feel good. Also I got a super duper fancy facial at a spa last week and she was like you're only 37. You don't have wrinkles you're just stressed. And after all the treatments my forehead wrinkles and crows feet were gone and my face was way more relaxed. So yeah. Sometimes what you see in the mirror isn't a permanent thing, just a signifier of your current life style lol
What the procedure you did?
@@ritakirichenko5413 I got a deluxe facial with all the fun stuff. Extractions, cupping. Microderm scrub, steam, massage, etc.
@@ritakirichenko5413 they also did red light therapy and the electro wave stuff.
your accent is so beautiful
Ever since i discovered this channel i am so obsessed with watching everything or watching some videos a couple of times, this channel has been helping me grow mentally emotionally and physically, i wanna do better for me and i am going to .... thank you so much for sharing ❤
Oh so early.
I love how u look!
Like a black cat, so gorgeous!
yr singing my song...glad you appeared on my reel stack...just so you know...maintenance gets easier with consistency...and results speak for themselves... ii don't discuss much with folk unless they really want to make a change over gossiping or complaining...people can be jealous and make mean comments but won't make the effort to correct what they are unused to... you make good points abt persistence even when the mirror doesn't seem to show results... some things are a fast(er) fix, most take individual time based on metaholism & discipline. Ty.
i actually really like your teeth, they are unique and it adds to your charm! ❤
I suddenly saw your video. This is really a good sign of what I'm doing. The universe is really showing good signs and I'm accepting it😊✨
Watching this while I work out .. lets gooo 💪🏾
Bro your glowup is crazy 🤌🫡😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤
I've been binge watching ur videos and honestly i've learned so much. Ur knowledge and vibe is just so radiating. I love ur vids so muchhh 😭😭
I love the people who share there room with plants ❤
Makeup is no joke. I moved to Japan and experimented with lid tape for my hooded eyes and wow! It was crazy to see how much it changed my face
I love the glow up, You’ve always been beautiful, but I get, and am here for the transformation ❤
your transformation is inspiring 🎉
That’s why inner beauty is just as important as outer beauty. Too many people forget about inner beauty
I thought your hair was a wig bc it's too perfect to be real 😻
I know its a bit excessive but i usually do 2 10 minute videos one for facial exercises and one for collar bones. It really does help! But requires alot of motivation 😭
Better looks = having enough money to afford quality skin and hair products sometimes in addition to facials and maybe fillers , also affording healthy food and having enough time for self care .....don't be harsh on yourself if you're a college student or an employee with a small paycheck
Can you do a nonsponsorded video where you go over your skincare routine?
Can you pls recommend the youtubers that you follow that specialize in face massage? 🙏🙏 That would be so helpful, your face shape looks amazing!! 💗
anastasia beauty fascia and koko face yoga! 💜
I have struggled with sticking to a routine whenever I try to glow up but I'm very determined to improve myself by the end of this year so I think this popping up on my algorithm was definitely a sign. a lot of these tips I have not heard from other "glow up" advice videos so thank you very much :) I'm just tired of not being happy with what I see in the mirror
HOW R U GOING ??
@@BJWOOD going well so far! the facial massages are a bit time consuming in the morning so i tend to do them at night instead. i've been on the treadmill most days (doing speed walking 2/3x a week and running 2/3x a week) and i'm eating more nutritious foods than processed. not much of a noticeable difference in my face yet since I only started doing the massages on Friday but it usually takes more than a week or two to notice a difference (in my past experience). I have noticed my skin has started to glow more since starting the massages though :)
I was watching one of your older videos just 10 minutes ago! I'm so glad this came out right now
I was skeptical about watching this, but you genuinely just got my mind in the right place about what I have been wanting to do
I've always felt i was quite pretty growing up until in highschool, the kids there started bullying me for my face and tbh i was sad but it was a sort of wake up call for, at first i wanted to glow up for their approval i did, for a while but years later in senior High school i got bullied again haha i must've been caught lackin,it ruined me so much that i started harming my own body, eventually i seeked some help and now i want to glow up for myself because glow up or not i want myself to have a beautiful life full of joy and peace and i deserve every bit of it
only ytber i trust for this type of content ❤ love you gorgeous
I got inspired to change during Covid quarantine when people were making jokes about coming out of quarantine and everyone having an anime time skip design. I started losing weight so people would see my time skip design 😭 and I’m still working to make positive changes in my life. I didn’t know it would be a consistent years long process to make these huge changes
I appreciate your balanced perspectives all the time
Just started my life all the way over. Starting from scratch and I’m singled and ready to transform my life.
You read in my mind...I was thinking "I want to change my face" and the notification just popped❤ thanks
Hey mae , great to see you again, I just wanted to say I really love your videos, you give off this super cool older sister vibe! I love how you are humble while still being confident and self-assured, do you think you could make a video on how to be like that?
Girl I really wanna have my glow up and I'm working on it
I can't stop commenting because I love this video so much and I agree with everything. I'm so excited to see the next Gen of girls helping eachother our and sharing health and beauty tips.
As someone who has dealt with oily, acne-prone skin my whole life (thanks, genetics 🙃) I think a lot of people underestimate the power of sleep for skin health.
Literally the only thing that has ever had any effect on my acne was accutane, but I was unable to do a 2nd round 3 years after the first when I needed it, because I had a reaction that put me in the ER. I was basically forced by circumstance to try to adjust everything else to control my acne, and the single thing that made a hugely visable difference immediately was making sure I got enough sleep. I have never used a product that made as much difference as a solid 7 to 8 hours or sleep does.
I still have the occasional breakout, but it normally coincides with having gotten 6 or less hours of sleep the night or 2 previous.
As far as recomping goes, you need to eat HEALTHY FOOD. Vegetables, low fat proteins, drink water. It’s not as simple as eat more calories or less calories. You gain weight with eating more calories than you burn and vice versa. If you’re looking to lose fat, it’s that simple. If you want to have a toned, strong physique, you HAVE TO EAT HEALTHY CALORIES. Not just less calories than you burn. You’re going to be skinny fat if you eat shit food while losing weight.
ehhh as someone that had acne since I was in elementary and even some time to time as a 12TH grader , water will not do much if the acne is a hormonal thing. I would drink 5-6 bottles of water everyday and that didn’t help me. I stopped eating junk food so excessively and skin care def helped me too. When I first started my skin care routine I wouldn’t get a pimple in MONTHS which for me personally is very rare
i love this woman!!!! ive been constantly clicking when i see her on my feed
girl, you are my holy grail. Thank you always❤
Mae that thumbnail is amazing -
you are amazing and I'm so glad I found you!!! ❤
u inspire me sm 🩷
Does anyone have tips against binge eating? I´ve basically done it all my life and I don´t know if I can even stop at all by now. has been so ingrained and is such a big part of my life :(
Yesssss I do!
-are any of ur relationships violent? Like for instance does someone mistreat u and then u eat? If so, throw the person away.
-allergies?
-do you eat enough- because u probably don’t
Other than that:
Stop forcing urself to eat „clean“, or „healthy“.
I had a friend who made himself eat tuna because it’s health-food. Do u do that?
If u hate eggplants, don’t eat them,
If a Coca Cola satiates u,
Drink one (maybe not sugar-free).
Most of all it helped me to really eat WHATEVER I WANT,
The moment I no longer restricted what I eat,
I stopped with the quantity.
And of course see a doctor in case u have deficiencies (say iron),
For me it was an allergy which made me throw up often,
And then I’d overeat.
X
yes queen i recently stopped this is what i did! Think of eating ask not a task but as something that you need to do only when its required, when i say this i mean dont just eat bc ur bored! And when ur eating chew slowly to really get to taste your food and let your brain process thaf youre eating! While youre eating before you finish all ur food ask urself "am i still hungry?" If ur not then just save it for tommorow c: also try to find the root of whats causing this! Is it trauma? Things like that and lmk if u need more help
eat foods that keep you fuller longer like meat and eggs try to stay away from carbs because they are addicting making you eat more when you are full
I don't binge eat but I do tend to over eat a lot one thing that helps me is :
-stop thinking food is my enemy , food can nurture my body , I can eat anything I want but I don't need large amounts of it
- you can eat healthy food that you like you don't have to force yourself to eat healthy foods you don't like for instance I love corn, carrots,green beans, cabbages, fruit ( sugar from fruit isn't bad because it's natural sugar what's bad is processed sugar) and etc
- I really like sparkling water, crystal light flavor packets, tea, I don't have a problem with drinking water cause I love water, I love probiotic drinks too
- carbs like bread aren't bad we need carbs for carbohydrates,why? Carbohydrates gives us energy but it's a difference between eating them and just over eating
- if you're still hungry fix another plate of food , the more you fight your cravings the worse the binged get , also drink some water in the process it makes you less prone to overeating
( Also sometimes I cook food and I don't eat it 😭it's like my eyes look at the food and eat for me , which is another problem our eyes eat more than we do)
i would make sure you're eating foods that actually make you feel full. prioritize protein, but carbs are also important. also make sure to stay hydrated. its hard to binge whenever you've been eating foods that are truly good for you. also whenever you eat out of boredom, try to find ways to fill the time rather than eating
I also got rid of my acne by changing my eating habits. Eat for your skin! It works!!
im gonna glow up over freshman year guys trust 💪💪💪
your vibe is top notch
I have been a chameleon I call it, my entire life. Friends who never saw me for 6 months would not notice me in the store. I always find the changes really invigorating as I grew spiritually and looked how I felt inside. Which gave me more confidence, feeling comfortable in my own skin.
It’s always a good day when queen Mae blesses us with a new video ❤
Love your voice so much, this is so relaxing to listen to you
you are like the older sister i wish i had thank you for the video i grew up loving my self but now i am trying to learn ❣️❣️💋💋💋 thank you so much
Was about to eat key lime pie for breakfast :') thanks for the motivation
I drink water only, I drink peppermint tea and herb tea every day , I don’t eat meat
And my acne still did not change n I do this since years.. yea I drink coffee w milk n sugar every morning okay
People eat McDonald’s everyday n still have better skin than I have
Also I use good and not too much skin care
For me, dairy and sugar are my problem. Try giving them up for 21 days and see if it helps. Good luck 🤗
Acne is mostly hormonal and not dehydatrion nor food problem. I would recommend you to see a dermantologist to help you
I expected to see tons of comments about it but since there aren't many, I have to say that This is AN INSANE GLOW UP, Mae!
You're so powerful! Thank you for your videos🩷🎀
You look like beabadoobee, so pretty
eek! i’m so happy you posted this!! 🤭
You're so right about the tongue! I had braces for an underbite 20 years ago and my ortho told me to do so to keep my jaw in place. My face looks much better and me teeth and jaw remain proper without a retainer
Best glow up video I’ve watched
Let us mew for the plot! Thank you for all the tips 🌟
I love that you are just like me, but if i was better being what i want to be.
Like the big sister ive always wanted. For me seeing you has always something so emotional. Am kind of the baddie, and people look out to me as like this perfect mix between tradition and innovation, practixality and aesthetixs.
But girl. You are the real OP.
So brave; it would be easier to play innocent.
At least for me; you are so beautiful that makes me see a bit of gods love by seeing you, and makes me feel better. Gods not dead f9r moments.
This is my sign!!!❤
ive been experimenting with different hair color... kind of sad and relief at the same time to know that my natural hair is the best match
Friends unfriending you is actually unfortunately relatable. Ive heard MANY successful people say that they lost supporters once they started getting good results and many people envy them. Theres alway's gonna be haters, let them hate
lol
I love you Mae, thanks for everything
The way my jaw dropped when i saw the thumbnail
Omg!!!
Mewing helps! I also noticed a big difference in my jawline
Start fasting guys ❤
at first I thought this video was another generic "glow up" video where the already-pretty creator gets their nails done and changes their hair, cleans their room and puts on make up and makes a video about it. Not that there's anything WRONG with that; those are glow ups as well, but this video seems catered to people who actually need to change themselves for the better, mentally and physically. As you said, when you suffered from extreme acne from your teenage years and feeling so ashamed you couldn't take a picture, i immediately was drawn into this video, like I found a creator who understood me. I love that you describe it as a long progress of consistency and confidence and not a "one day and done" thing. The second you started talking I knew this video would be extremely helpful. I love how you suggested taking supplements and drinking tons of water, but also being realistic and enjoying things you like to eat instead of only consuming "healthy" foods. I also love how you said that it's better to consume things rather than have a 20-step skin care routine, because your skin reflects your inner health. This gave me so much motivation. Then, when you finally get your inner self back to healthy, you can start to change your hair, style, nails, room, etc.
Girl you’re gorgeous
gurl you are amazing!!!! Go you, go ussss
I love your videos! It makes me have hope and excited to glow up❤
The before pic on the thumbnail looked sooo familiar
Thank you you help give me the encouragement to keep going!
