People should just stick to the basics, which is eating better, working out, sleeping more, drinking water, and dressing well. That’s it, that’s all. Oh, and vitamins!

Skincare and eating correctly has done wonders for me. If some women took care of their natural hair, they'd see that it looks wayyy better than those wigs. People are always shocked when I tell them that this is my real hair. Our hair can be thick and luscious too

LIPO ads, glp ads, BBL, Botox, makeup, lace fronts, everything is a flaw and a quick fix. Love yourself and achieve character.

“Thats not a glow up…it’s a costume change”…..:you are not playing with this culture at all…confidence is key…loving one’s self….accepting one’s self…respecting one’s self …that is so key

At 73, I take care of my health and do what makes me happy. And I congratulate myself for living the life I designed. Natural hair, no makeup, exercise, hanging out at least twice a week and eating healthy food keeps me together. Making and wearing clothes has always been my raison d'être.

In my experience Glow Ups happen after tragedy; death, divorce, job loss, sickness, mental health collapse. You are forced to isolate or go away for a while because you have to. Once your are completly jilted out of your ordinary life change happens. From this point on you either build or retreat. Most often women never go back to the old ways.

Desi....I'm a new subscriber and old enough to be your mother. I've seen several of your helpful styling videos, but this one is POWERFUL!! This is going to help so many because you address the disciplines (resting, exercising, reading, etc.) that build a person and create peace, joy, and contentment which produces an outward glow....unmistakable confidence, magnetism..... Thank you so much for ALL you do.💕
