How to Look Good Every Single Day - EVEN AT HOME!! ft. Linjer

Every day I have two options. I can either look like this or spend just 10 extra minutes in the morning and look like this. See you have to understand looking good every day doesn't mean expensive outfits or full glam. It's just about tiny tweaks that make you feel more polished and confident even if you are just at home or working from your couch. So today I'm breaking down small habits that seriously level up how you look and feel from clothing and jewelry to hygiene and a few optional self-care upgrades. So let's start with what I'm good at clothing. Let me tell you I used to dread when someone rang the doorbell because I look tired and honestly just bad when I was home. I used to run to change clothes and put on a bra or just yell at my husband if he was home to answer the doorbell. Then I realized I just need to be more intentional about what I wear even at home and let me show you how you can easily fix this problem. First switch out those oversized baggy t-shirts for fitted ones. Trust me they are equally comfortable and if you can find ones that have a built-in bra even better. You just have to put it on like a normal t-shirt. That way you don't have to run to your room to find a bra when someone's knocking at the door. Trust me this will change your life. I use these fitted tops from OGL. I mean the brand is known for their tops with built-in bras and no this video is not sponsored by OGL. I just love them so much. They are high quality but if these are too expensive for your budget you can always go on Amazon. You'll find a ton of options. This way you don't have to spend any extra time getting ready in the morning but at the same time they give you shape are super flattering and make you feel effortlessly put together without even trying. Next let's talk bottoms. If you are still wearing joggers with elastic bands at the ankles try switching it to a straight leg fit instead for a more polished and put together look. Something like these cargo sweatpants. They are relaxed but still structured or just get those basic ones from Costco. I got these from Glomode. You can see the difference in before and after. Perfect fit and size. I also have quite a few from Halara. They make these pants that look like denim but in reality they are yoga pants. So comfy. You can throw on sneakers and slides and it will instantly look like you put in effort. So these are the only two changes that I made. The difference in before and after is like day and night. I mean you can see it for yourself. Next up jewelry. This is something that people really underestimate. Jewelry can instantly elevate your outfit. This is one way that you can add your own twist and personality to your overall fit. If it's in your budget invest in gold vermeil or solid gold pieces. Something that you can wear every day without having to take it on and off. It doesn't have to be fancy. Even simple hoops, a chain, ring or two can make you look instantly more polished. Which brings me to the sponsor of today's video, Linear. You guys already know how much I love their pieces. I live in their Meredith hoops and this 14k gold chain almost every single day. I even took them with me on our Banff Jasper trip because they literally go with everything. I love that all their pieces are so subtle but elegant and this chain is solid gold so I can wear it all the time. And since I've been slowly building my capsule jewelry collection, I added two new pieces this month. The first one is their diamond pavé band. It's called Miriam. It's a half eternity ring featuring seven sparkling handset lab-grown diamonds on a 14k solid yellow gold band. So it actually will last me forever and doesn't tarnish after a few years which is such a relief. I also picked up their London blue topaz ring. It's such a statement but still delicate. It has four organic hand-cut London blue topaz stones. Each one slightly different which I love because it feels so personal and unique. And these blue tones are stunning. The craftsmanship is beautiful. Now this one is not solid gold. It's gold vermeil and I highly suggest if solid gold is out of your budget, then you invest in gold vermeil which means it's made with recycled silver and plated in thick layer of real 14k gold. Five times thicker than regular gold plated jewelry which is so much better than buying those fake pieces that will tarnish in just a few days. I used to spend hundreds on fake pieces that didn't last. They tarnish. Now I'm slowly building a collection of real gold even if it's one piece at a time. I keep my tiny capsule collection right on my dresser so it's always visible and easy to reach. Keep in mind when your jewelry is accessible, you are so much more likely to wear it and it makes getting dressed every morning so much easier. And everything right now fits perfectly in my linear travel case. And knowing Linear uses recycled gold, natural gemstones, and ethically sourced materials makes me love the brand even more. No doubt looking good every day feels even better when it's done sustainably. So if you are looking to invest in pieces you'll actually wear every day. Pieces that make you look more put together and doesn't lose their shine after a month, I can't recommend Linear enough. You can check them out using the link in my description box and don't walk, run because they have huge anniversary sale going on right now. And on top of that, you can use my code for a special discount. I think this is such a steal. One sure short way to look put together every day is to meal prep your outfits. Yes, not food but outfits. I started doing this last year and it's a game changer. Just like you meal prep your food, on a hang your outfits separately for the week. I use this cheap clothing rack I got for $30 off Amazon and it saves so much time in the morning. By doing this, I promise you, you'll never have those I have nothing to wear moments. For the sake of this video, I'm keeping it short but do let me know if you want me to make this into a series where in part one we can discuss clothing, part two will be hygiene, skincare, and so on. In each video, I'll explain in detail what I do to look good every single day. Okay, now let's talk hygiene because looking good every day starts here. First, I don't think I need to say this but please shower every single day but instead of making it a mindless routine, treat it like a reset. I actually block out additional 15 minutes every single day after my shower for what I call self-care time. For example, Tuesday evenings after my shower, I do my brows. Thursdays and Sundays, I do a hair mask and this whole blow-dry my hair routine after washing them. Fridays are my deep care days. I shave almost my entire body and then do at-home laser routine. It's these small consistent things that make you feel cleaner, more confident, and just overall better. Also, I forgot to mention, take care of your natural hair. Oil it, use mask, keep it healthy. Healthy hair changes your whole vibe and spend some time figuring out a styling technique that works for you. And when it comes to skincare, keep it simple but do it every single day. You don't need a 10-step routine. Cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning. Cleanser, serum, or active, and moisturizer at night. That's it. That's your foundation. All you have to do is just be consistent. Oh, and one more thing. Figure out your signature everyday scent. It doesn't have to be expensive. It could be a light perfume, body mist, or even a scented lotion. But having that consistent scent gives such a polished impression. For me, I like to switch it up. So, I use Scentbird subscription. And right now, my favorite is Post Mystico but I think you get the idea. Just figure out your everyday signature scent and stick to it. Now, let's talk makeup. You don't need to wear a full face every day but it does help to have a minimal everyday makeup routine that you can do in under 10 minutes. Something that makes you feel good. Think tinted moisturizer, a tinted sunscreen, or a CC cream, a cream blush, mascara, and a lip tint. And what really helped me be consistent with my everyday makeup is to keep a separate kit with all my go-to everyday products. That way, I don't have to dig through drawers every morning. It's there, ready to go. When you make your routine simple and accessible, you are more likely to actually stick to it. Next, very important but move your body and eat healthy. Not because you have to but because your body deserves to feel strong. Even if it's 20 minutes, a walk, a stretch, quick workout at home, just move. You are not doing it to shrink yourself. Always remember, you are not doing it for the aesthetics. You are doing it to wake yourself up. There's this quiet kind of confidence that comes when you keep promises to yourself. When you show up even when no one's watching. And I know life gets busy. Work, family, kids, everything. But think about this. You take care of everyone else. You handle a million things in a day. Don't you deserve to feel good in your own skin? I think when you move your body, you remember how powerful you are. When you take care of yourself, your skin, your hair, your clothes, you remind yourself that you matter. It's not about perfection. It's about presence. It's about that moment when you look in the mirror and you think, I feel like me again. So, if you have been putting yourself last lately, this is your sign to start showing up for yourself. Not for the world, not for anyone else's approval, for you. Because when you feel good, you look good. And when you look good, you move through life differently. Head up, heart open, unbothered. Trust me, the shift that you will experience after you start taking care of your body from inside, after you start exercising, after you start eating healthy, it's mind-blowing. I know 100% for those of you who already exercise or, you know, do workouts four times a week, five times a week, you know what I'm talking about. Okay, now a few optional things that make a huge difference, at least for me. First, nails. Maintaining your nails, even if it's just keeping them clean, short and polished, completely elevates your look. I personally love using press-ons or getting them done professionally. But that's because I need to for shooting videos. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars. Do what's best for you. That's why I say it's optional. And if you are getting them done professionally, give them breaks in between. When your nails look neat, you just feel more confident. That's what I believe. Holding your coffee up or typing at your desk, that is a whole new feeling. It makes you feel more confident. But again, like I mentioned, this is totally optional. If it's in your budget, get them done professionally. If not, invest in good high-quality press-on nails. If not, just keep them short and clean. Second optional upgrade, facials. If your budget allows, try getting facials done every few months. But not just any facial. Get something customized for your skin type. I recently got one tailored for PCOS and hormonal acne. And oh my god, it was just $70. But even if it was $200, I would have spent that amount because my skin feels so good. I slept on this for the longest time. But once I started, I realized how much of a difference it makes. Your skin texture improves, makeup goes on better, and you just look refreshed. And I totally get it. If you can't afford them regularly, save a little each month and get one for your birthday or every three months. Whatever works. So yeah, looking good every day isn't about perfection. It's about consistency. And I don't want to hear, I'll do this when I lose some weight or once my kids are old enough. Please, I don't want to hear those excuses. You don't have to do it all alone. If you have to ask your husband or your family members to help you with household chores or with the kids. See, I don't have kids, so I don't know what it feels like to have kids. But if you need help, please speak up. There are 100 excuses, but you just have to show up for yourself. Work out when your kids are sleeping. If you're in charge of food, meal prep on Sundays. And if someone wants fresh food every single day, it's their responsibility. They can make it themselves. I have seen my mother, my grandmother, my mother-in-law keep quiet and put everyone else first. They don't accept it, but it has only given them arthritis, obesity, and a lifetime of feeling like their needs didn't matter. So much so that this is now their reality. They don't even know what they want in life. And no disrespect to them, I love them so much. They have done so much for us and for our family. But being a woman, we often ignore ourselves. Please don't do that. Life will go by so fast. And before you realize it, it will be too late. These are just little things that you can do for yourself, like choosing fitted loungewear, maintaining your hygiene, wearing simple jewelry, or doing your brows once a week. That adds up. It will give you confidence. I just don't have words. I don't know how else I can explain. You will feel more confident, more capable, and honestly just happier. So next time you are home all day or heading to work, do at least one of those things. Start small. Maybe next week, do two from the list, then three. It starts with showing up for yourself every day. Okay, this video started someplace else and now it's, you know, all over the place. But I hope I'm making sense. Please know taking care of yourself isn't selfish. It's what keeps you happy. And if you're happy, others around you will be happy. And I hope that it helps just one girl out there.
