Want to go about your day with more confidence? When we feel good, it shows. A big part of ‘Becoming Her’ is based on how we feel. (When we feel good, we can manifest easier! But more on that later).
A lot of things (like a full transformation glow up) take small changes repeated over time – which can feel intimidating, & we all start from different places but here are a few easy things you can do right now to instantly glow up from exactly where you’re standing.
1. Gua Sha – for depuffing your face & that instant glowy skin
We love Gua Sha! It’s easy, quick & accessible. Gua sha gives both an instant glow up & long term results. Originally a traditional Chinese method Gua Sha is now famous all around the world. Although there are several different types of Gua Sha to buy, we recommend stainless steel, it’s more durable for those of us that are a bit clumsy!
Here is our favourite Steel Gua Sha:
(plus this one has a deeper ridge meaning you can get right in there along your cheekbone & jawline!)
– The immediate results of Gua Sha are reduced puffiness, plump face, reduced water retention, soften wrinkles and fine lines & encourages the production of collagen.
– Over the long term Gua Sha can help lift and sculpt your muscles – hello jaw line!
P.s if you’re waiting for your Gua Sha in the post you can do some simple facial massage to get the process going. We recommend @anastasiabeautyfascia on Tiktok & Instagram.
2. Lint roller your clothes – instantly look neater
You know those random things that are sticky on the outside? They’re actually very useful & make a big difference to your overall look.
Using a lint roller on your clothes instantly makes your clothes look cleaner, neater and therefore higher quality. Taking off all the bits of dust & rubbish helps you look more put together & therefore you feel more confident in your clothes!
Here is a cheap pack to get you started:
3. Bobble Shaver – keeping your clothes looking high quality
This takes the lint rolling to the next level & makes your clothes last longer! A bobble shaver does just that, running it over your clothes shaves off all the little bumps, lumps and bobbles of fabric. It stops your clothes looking scruffy & keeps them looking new for longer.
Here is a great Bobble Shaver to keep your clothes looking tidy:
4. Ice rolling face
There are SO many benefits to ice rolling! And there are several different ways to do it. Ice rolling reduces puffiness, tightens and firms up skin, gives your skin a natural glow, awakens the face by relieving tension, reduces breakouts & lowers stress.
Here are 3 different types of ice rollers you can use:
1 . Full ice
Just fill this little silicone cup up with water and pop it upright in the freezer. Once frozen take it out & run all over your face to wake you up, increase circulation & reduce puffiness! Remember to drop a tiny bit of water on it before putting it on your skin so the ice doesn’t stick to your face!
Here’s one on Amazon to get you started:
2. The Classic:
If using ice directly on your face doesn’t appeal to you don’t fret, you buy a roller that goes straight into the freezer and is a gentler approach but still gets the same benefits!
Our Amazon fav:
3. Don’t have room in your freezer? Try Ice Globes!
Cryotherapy Ice Globes don’t have any ice! They’re fantastic if you’re looking to reduce puffiness, inflammation & relax. Ice globes go in your fridge or alternatively drop them in a bowl of iced water 10 minutes before using.

5. Posture
This one is free & you may roll your eyes but it really does make a huge difference. When we see women who we admire or may want to be like, they often hold a ‘presence’ or a confidence that we may feel we lack. The question is are they often hunched over? Shy? Closed off? Probably not. They’re normally standing tall, shoulders back with assurance that they deserve to be where and who they are. This one is actually surprisingly hard, as women we’ve had to fight to take up space, but we deserve to. So take a deep breath, roll your shoulders back & stand up PROPERLY.
And if that’s tough for you just fake it until you make it babes! Maybe the people we’re admiring are faking it too? It’s all about the confidence.
6. Steamer
Another one for instantly tidying up our appearance is a clothes steamer. Much quicker & easier than ironing; steaming your clothes before you leave the house makes a world of difference. You don’t need to pay for dry cleaning to look like your clothes are IT. A quick steam & they’re looking good as new. Pair this with the lint roller & bobble shaver and you’ll be looking tidy, clean and put together every single time you leave the house no matter what the outfit!

(additional tip for the steamer, use distilled water for it to work the best)
