happy 2 years!

it’s been two whole years of Getting a Glow Up! it’s been such a fulfilling journey and the progress i have made since starting this blog warms my heart. i hope you all have found this blog helpful to you over this course of time. also, welcome to all my new followers! i hope this blog aids you with your journey.

in celebration of 2 years, i’ve changed the theme. hopefully this makes scrolling more pleasant! if there’s any issues with it don’t hesitate to lmk. i’ve updated my about me page and included a FAQ as well.

i’ve tagged *every* post i’ve made or reblogged with the appropriate topic. you can use my navi page to browse them & it offers an explanation on each tag!

→ my ask is always open, so if you need any advice or just want to vent, please feel free to shoot me one! i love reading and responding to them. ←

↓ here’s a copy and paste of the tag descriptions. they won't work if you’re on mobile :( so use the link to my navi page instead. ↓

posts created by me are under the tag ‘mine’.

self care

all things self care, including tips, ideas on how to incorporate it, and quotes.

self love

support, advice, and guidance on loving yourself in a variety of ways.

self improvement

suggestions on how to better yourself in every area of your life and achieve your goals. also includes productivity and academia related posts.

glow up

Do you have a picture of your google docs schedule? I have a hard time visualizing putting the days both in the columns, and in the first row.

here’s the layout! hope it’s helpful, and congrats on creating a routine :)

i’ve been messing with my theme on both mobile and pc so things may look a little different or strange while i figure it out. im going for a more mature look, my previous banner & icon were made in early 2018 and definitely reflected that 😬 ahaha i think we’ve progressed.

if you could let me know whether you use tumblr more on mobile or the website that would be super super helpful! u can put it in my ask if you’d like. thank you!

hi, i appreciate your blog! Just had a quick question, what's the difference between gel and acrylic nails? (like is gel your actual nail with the dip powder??)

aaah ty! it’s genuinely so nice to hear. from what i know, gel is a type of nail polish, which is typically set with a UV light. you can put gel on your natural nail or a nail with acrylic. acrylic is a type of powder that is mixed with monomer to build an extension. it can be used with a tip or on the natural nail.

thanks for the question, hope this was helpful!!
