I drew this fnaf oc back in August of 2019(ik it's very bad and old. It's literally the second thing I ever drew digitally).
And today I decided to redraw it in a more fnaf looking style.
So here it is.
Before School Glo Up
So tomorrow is August. August/September is typically the time when everyone goes back to school. No matter if you spent the summer hitting all your self care goals or if you barely hit one, school is coming for you.
So, how do you glo up in such a short amount of time? Let me tell you.
Health:
Even if you spent all summer eating brownies watching the bachelorette, there’s still time to at least feel good before school starts back. Here’s some quick fixes that could even help you drop a little weight before school starts.
-Cut out soda
-Drink your body weight in oz of water every day
-replace one meal a day with something healthy
-drink a meal replacement shake
Appearance:
This is where things could cost you a little money. I’m going to have two sections for this, inexpensive vs expensive makeover.
~Inexpensive:
-Hair: Buy a one packet hair mask from Walmart/target/beauty supply, get your hair trimmed or even just a shampoo and style (many times this costs less than 20$), practice new styles
-Skincare: sheet masks are an inexpensive but effective form of skincare, use a hot washcloth to steam your face before cleansing, buy skincare from tj max/Marshall’s etc
-Body: shave wherever you like to shave and use a sugar scrub all over, you can buy cheap scrubs at Walmart or make your own with sugar and an oil of your choice, use lotion all over, put body butter or cocoa butter on the tougher parts of your body, ask for samples at lush they will give you at least enough for a spa day, buy a new scent from bath and body works or tj max/Marshall’s
-Nails: Buy a cheap nail kit from Walmart and some Epsom salts, grab a bucket or fill up your tub and poor the Epsom salts in, soak your feet then scrub them with a pedicure tool or your sugar scrub, put on lotion, apply nail polish carefully, for your hands use a bowl to soak your hands and push back your cuticles gently, scrub your hands and clean/trim your nails, then file them if needed and finally polish them and watch Netflix while you wait for them to dry
-Clothes: Thrift stores and sales honey. Try traveling to a bigger city to find the best thrift stores. Some places even price clothes by the pound there. After you get the clothes, wash thoroughly with hot water in your washer to sanitize. Also, scout sale ads. Make a fake email, sign up for every store ad out there and once a day or however often you choose, check the email and reap the rewards. Buy basic versatile pieces, and maybe one or two trend items to stay up to date if you care about that. Last tip: search for your nearest outlet mall!
-Makeup: drugstore makeup is perfectly okay girl. Sign up for ulta emails/rewards. It’s free and you get 20% off coupons all the time. Sometimes even for expensive brands. Ulta carries drugstore so I would shop there over places like target so you can rack up rewards and use their sale coupons. Make sure you have the basics for a good base. Look up “drugstore makeup routine” or “drugstore foundation routine” on YouTube, Sephora will give up to three free samples a day
~Expensive
-Hair: if you don’t have a favorite salon, google the best salon in your area and BOOK A CONSULTATION, do not just go in for an appointment unless you’re just doing a simple trim or root touch up. This will let you know what their pricing is and how things work in their salon. Ask who is best for your specific hair type or what you’re wanting. Many stylists have a specific thing that they’re amazing at. Make sure you get the most out of your experience. Some high end salons are worth it, some are just overpriced versions of regular salons. Check with people you know and see if they know about the salon. Read all the reviews.
-Skincare: get a facial at a nice day spa, get your skin assessed by a professional and get the recommended products
-Body: get waxed wherever you please at a good WAX ONLY salon, if the place you are going to is mainly nails or mainly hair the better the chance of them not following the same procedures and being as good as a primarily wax salon. Splurge on nice scrubs and lotions, also throw in a bottle of quality argan oil, it does wonders for your skin all over, buy a new scent (pro tip: buy the perfume sampler at Sephora and try out the perfumes before you purchase), African black soap is good for preventing in grown hairs and getting rid of body acne
-Nails: find the best nail salon near you and make sure you know pricing and exactly what you want ahead of time, don’t let them trick you. Look up nail shapes and styles on Pinterest and pick the one you think is best for you, ask your friends what they think. Pick out a color you know will look good on your skin tone. Speak up while you’re there! This is hard for me but make sure you’re telling them if something hurts or is uncomfortable or they’re not doing what you want. Because if you don’t then you’re paying for a bad experience which is just plain dumb. Also don’t worry about your feet being a little cracked or anything, they’ve probably dealt with much worse.
-Clothes: Make a gameplan for shopping day. I’ve done back to school shopping a million times and I know how it feels to walk into a crowded mall and not know where to start. At least pick your first store. Also, most people have a budget even if this is the “expensive” category so keep that budget in mind. If something you try on doesn’t wow you, maybe wait to buy it until after you’ve been to other stores. And make sure what you buy you’re going to wear. Yes that mini dress is cute but are you really going to walk all over campus in it? Probably not. It’ll probably end up living in your closet. On that note, make sure you clean out your closet and donate other pieces so those that need it can have them.
-Makeup: Make sure you stock up on the things that will complete your most basic look, buy quality items that will make your look the best. Watch favorites videos on YouTube or a tutorial of something you love and take note of the products they use.
School:
-Buy supplies that you like, even if it’s cheap buy it in colors you don’t hate
-Make sure your planning system is set up and ready to go, with dates like when you start school, breaks/holidays, and birthdays already written in.
-Write down your goals for the year some place you can see them daily
Mental:
-Take a social media break, detox and come back better than ever
-Make sure you don’t get too overwhelmed during this time, take some time to just relax. You don’t have to be doing something all the time. Just chill.
-Comparison kills joy. Don’t compare your glo up process or anything about yourself to another person. God made you, you. Don’t try to be someone else.
☀️Reminder: you’re beautiful just the way you are and you don’t need to do your nails or buy new clothes to be pretty. I like to think of this as just taking care of yourself and having fun becoming a new version of you. This won’t turn you into a naturally photoshopped Instagram model, but it will enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence☀️
Love this.
But you can pry my extra virgin olive oil as moisturizer from my cold dead perfectly manicured hands 💅🏼🫒
you do not need to spend a bunch of money to become the girl of your (and everyone else's) dreams. what you need is to take a good look at your daily habits and understand that beautiful hair and skin come from clean eating habits and hydration; that a gorgeous body comes from adequate nutrition and physical effort; that confidence comes from a tranquil mind and decent sleep; that no person of importance neglects their hygiene or dwells in excessive behavior... it needs to start from a force within you, from intuitive adjustments. then, afterwards, you can buy the expensive moisturizer. as a treat, not a need.

I did the traditional art for this way back to 2015, December.😊 Since I wanted to celebrate my first official year of my venture to digital arts, I recreated this.😍💚 #serealnity04 #digitalart #glowup #chitogekirisaki #nisekoi #anime https://www.instagram.com/p/CWP-2PUPSnE/?utm_medium=tumblr
I normally dress like a washed up drug addict, but if you tell me I need to look decent or presentable you can bet your ass I'm showing up in a three piece suit or a floor-length gown
This year my focus is on 3 things, my body, my finances, and my natural beauty.
So if you see me looking crazy, with no makeup on, hair in low manipulation styles and refusing to buy new clothes…mind your business.
It’s all part of the process.
I redrew my first digital piece, I drew it in 6th grade on my @amazon fire tablet. The new one I drew yesterday and I am now in the 8 the grade on my Ugee m1000l. . #digitalart #digital #myart #ugee #amazon #redraw #drawthisagain #drawthisagainmeme #glowup #rvaartist #rvaart #youngartists #bluehair #purple (at Henrico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp5TOuBHMt1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1as4q672s6ec9
I honestly refuse to have a glow up after a breakup or other events. Because then the person might take credit themselves & I think that's why I have random spurts of energy in the middle of the night. Because my glowup is random
the oily crumbs of corn chips on my pillow = skincare 💅✨🥰
Im gonna post some art eventually, but for now my only contribution is this
27 September 2021
Hey ya’ll.
It’s been a while (over a month to be exact). Sorry for the really inconsistent posting. Everytime I feel like I finally have it together again, something else happens or gets in the way. That’s life, I guess...
Anyway...I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting this past week. This post is going to be another one of me ranting/rambling, so feel free to scroll on (or read on).
I really want to get back into my fitness routine again. I’ve been feeling so sluggish, lately. I know that’s partly because I have not done a lot of physical activity since the last time I posted. The most I move around is when I’m on campus for class, which still counts for something, given how awful I have been feeling, but still...I know can do better. Though, I also know it’s important to not put so much pressure on yourself, but sometimes that’s easier said than done.
I’m just really tired of always feeling this way...always feeling like I’m not good enough and that all my problems would be solved if I finally just lost the stupid weight already...but I have to remind myself that, even when I was thinner, life was not necessarily made any easier. My self-worth should not be so closely tied to my clothing size...
Last week, I made the decision to start focusing on myself. I deleted some contacts (and blocked some others). I decorated my room, which I’ve been wanting to do for the past year now. I caught up on my school work. I hung out with one of my best friends (we got Thai food and talked for hours).
I even made a whole “glow up” plan for myself. However, when I say glow up, I don’t mean just my appearance.
I want to glow up as a person in general. I want to be content with myself and be content with being alone. I want to connect more with myself more. I want to take myself on dates. I want to be more consistent with my spirituality. I want to meditate more and pray more. I want to start and end every day with reciting affirmations. I want to start writing in my journal again. I want to stop comparing myself to other people. I want to learn how to love myself. I want to validate myself without needing other people to do so for me. I want to do things I’ve always been afraid of doing because of posssible judgement (e.g. pierce my nose, get a tattoo (or several), change my hair, etc). I want to feel good about myself. I want to stop feeling like there is something wrong with me everytime a guy I fall for treats me horribly, leads me on, leaves me for someone else, or, simply, changes their mind about me. I want to stop always feeling like everything is my fault and that I don’t deserve to be happy. I want to do all of these things and more.
I’m going to do all of these things and more.
I have, honestly, lost myself. I can’t really pinpoint the exact moment this started, but, over the past few years, I have really lost myself...
Here’s to finding her again.
