How to Glow Up on a Budget

Life has gotten very expensive. But that doesn't mean you have to stop your level-up journey. You can still glow up without spending thousands of dollars on clothes, skincare treatments and hair. Here are some easy and budget-friendly ways to glow up while on your femininity journey.

Try homemade and DIY products.  Making your own hair growth oils, face masks, scrubs, and hair treatments can be a great alternative to expensive luxury products. They are cheaper to make per volume and can be filled with more natural and organic materials making them better for your body. 

Learn to do your own hair. Visiting the salon every time you want your hair cut, straighten or braided can really add up. So, learn to do your own hair. Depending on what you want to achieve, it may take time and practice, but it is a very useful and cost-saving skill. If you are looking for resources YouTube is a great place to start.

Exercise without the gym. If you are trying to lose weight or stay active, you can do that without the expensive gym membership.  You can watch workout videos online, go for a run, long walk, or bike ride for free outside, 

Learn to do your own nails even if it's just applying a basic polish.

Be more purposeful when it comes to shopping for clothes. Find things at inexpensive stores. Try buying clothes or beauty products from places like Wal-Mart or Marshalls instead of high-end stores. Browse through the clearance section and look out for sales. Buy more affordable clothes but also focus on buying classic pieces that you will be able to wear for multiple seasons. 

Drink more water to benefit your skin and health and get on a regular sleep schedule of at least 8 hours. 

Maintain good dental hygiene. Floss daily, brush your teeth at least twice a day and use mouthwash. This will also help reduce the cost of expensive dental visits.
