Transform Your Winter Arc: The Ultimate Guide to Your Seasonal Glow-Up ♥️

Winter isn’t just a season—it’s a vibe. While nature slows down, it’s your chance to turn inward, focus on yourself, and lay the groundwork for your best self. Embrace this winter arc as the ultimate glow-up season, and let’s make these cozy months count!

1. Cozy Up Your Self-Care Routine

Winter calls for all things warm, soothing, and nurturing. Think of this season as your spa retreat. Create a cozy self-care lineup that feels luxurious:

Deep Hydration: Treat your skin to rich moisturizers, soothing masks, and a gentle exfoliation ritual to keep that winter glow alive. Winter skin? Not on your watch.

Warmth & Wellness: Start or end your day with warm teas, a hot bath, or even five minutes of meditation. It’s all about feeling recharged and ready.

2. Set Your Winter Glow-Up Challenge

Nothing says level-up like a challenge that pushes you toward your goals every day. Let’s make it structured but fun—something you look forward to!

Weekly Focus Goals: Choose a focus for each week, like skincare, fitness, reading, or a creative skill. Keeping it fresh will keep you engaged and excited.

Mini Daily Habits: Pick a few small, daily habits to keep you on track. Try journaling, a daily walk, a few pages of a book, or morning stretches. Trust me, these small steps build big results.

3. Flex Your Mental Strength

Winter can be a test of resilience, but this is your season to build mental fortitude. Don’t just survive—thrive!

Reflect & Refresh: Use this time to journal on what you’re grateful for and set your intentions for the upcoming year. A vision gives you momentum.

Resilience Practice: Challenge yourself with something you’ve been putting off. Pick up that project, push your limits, or set routines that make you feel strong from the inside out. Winter’s a great time to build confidence that lasts.

4. Master a Skill Indoors

Winter gives you all the indoor time you need to get creative! Whether it’s learning something new or perfecting a skill, this season can be your best excuse to level up:

Get Creative: Try your hand at something artsy—maybe sewing, painting, or digital design. These creative outlets keep your mind active and inspired.

At-Home Fitness: Can’t hit the gym? No worries. Turn your living space into a personal workout studio. Try online workouts, yoga, or a stretching routine that keeps you fit without stepping outside.

5. Reinvent Your Style with Winter Magic

Winter fashion is all about layering, texture, and bold choices that bring out the season’s sophisticated vibes:

Layer It Up: Mix cozy knits, structured coats, and luxurious scarves. Winter is the season to go big on style and feel your best.

Elevate Your Look: Experiment with darker, moodier makeup or a chic red lip. Winter is the season for going bold, mysterious, and glamorous.

6. Plan for Your Spring Debut

Dream big this winter! Use this season to map out where you want to be when spring arrives and make that vision crystal clear:

Make a Vision Board: Fill it with images, colors, and words that embody the goals you’re aiming for.

Set Mini-Milestones: Break down your big plans into small, doable steps. By spring, you’ll be so ready to bloom.

Winter is YOUR season to refocus, recharge, and prepare to come back stronger than ever. Let the cozy vibes fuel your growth, and let’s make this the winter arc where you unlock your next level!

Here’s to leveling up, glowing up, and taking this winter by storm!

a beginners guide to pilates

🎀 what is pilates?

pilates is a form of strength training exercise that focuses on low to medium impact movements to improve muscle tone, stability, endurance, and mobility. pilates also focuses more on the smaller muscles of the body compared to traditional strength or weight training.

🎀 benefits of pilates

including the benefits that exercise generally brings, pilates:

improves mind-body connection and body control

improves active flexibility and mobility

works the core, improving stability

improves coordination and balance

reduces mental and physical stress

works muscles that can be neglected in our daily lives

treats and prevents body pain, including menstrual pain

teaches you how to pair your breath with your body

keeps the joints healthy without putting pressure on them

🎀 where to start

while you can absolutely start with studio or reformer classes, you can also do pilates routines on youtube! i recommend move with nicole and dansique fitness. if you want to get your cardio in as well, i absolutely recommend eleni fit. her workouts are some of the best i’ve ever tried!

🎀 personal tips

keep your core in mind. core strength is a major benefit of pilates because each movement requires at least a mild amount of core work to keep your body stable, so do your best to keep the engagement throughout.

start slow. pilates movements can take a while to fully understand and it can take a while to build the mind-body connection, so don’t push yourself too far in the beginning. your coordination will improve over time!

don’t underestimate it! while the movements are generally slower than other types of exercise, you will work your muscles just as much and in a way they may not have been worked before. sometimes i even find pilates more difficult than hiit or weights!

~Below: Guidelines, Diet, & Workouts~

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ you sort of 'forget' to eat sometimes. or maybe you just get too busy, too distracted. people watch you, they notice you, they talk about you when they think you can’t hear. oh wow. you smile and nod, you twirl your hair, you sip your drink. you’re light as air, floating... ♡*⁠｡⁠.

Guidelines:

– Wear flowy dresses, oversized sweaters, and layered pieces in muted or pastel tones. Add patterned tights, knee-high socks, or lace details for a romantic touch. Accessorize with vintage jewelry, beanies, or a satchel bag, and finish with ballet flats or worn-in boots, always be a little messy.

– Hold a cup of tea, maybe even with some milk, if not that a diet soda, it’s nice to have something to sip on.

– touch your hair a lot, twirl it around your fingers, push it behind your ear, sigh softly.

– earphones, always. music that makes you feel dreamy, a little distant, a little lost. (think Cigarettes After Sex, Adrianne Lenker & Leith Ross)

– keep a book in your bag, even if you never read it.

♡

Diet:

Breakfast:

a small piece of toast, with honey maybe a sprinkle of cinnamon (100cals) + tea (maybe with a little milk) (5-30cals)

Lunch:

a small amount of grapes, crisp and sweet, perfect (30-60cals) + a diet soda (0cals)

Dinner:

something small but nice, a few fries, golden and thin (200cals) + more diet soda or tea (0-5cals)

♡

Total: 335-395cals

Workout:

– stretch in the mornings, arms over your head, toes pointed, a little yawn, pretty.

– walk everywhere. let the city move around you, let yourself drift through it, unnoticed but unforgettable. 8-9k steps, maybe more if you get lost.

– go on long walks alone. headphones in, music loud, thoughts quiet.

– ride your bike, let the wind whip past you, breathe.

– cardio, mostly. something that makes your heart race, makes your body feel light, makes your head go quiet.
