day 9 of my birthday glow up routine 🌸 cozy winter day ❄️⛄️🎄

Описание: it was extremely cold today and christmas is near and living alone made me feel extra vulnerable.

i let myself slow down, dancing alone, enjoying festive snacks, sipping my teas and doing my work without pressure.

my focus right now isn’t perfection or productivity, but healing my body, lowering cortisol and choosing peace.

for breakfast, i had moong dal cheela with flaxseed chutney to keep my gut calm. the rest of the day was light, gluten free, dairy free vegan snacks like cherry tart, veggie chips, jowar puffs, and warm teas. not the most filling day, but a very comforting one.

i stuck to my skincare, haircare, body care, home cleaning routine and finally went to bed around midnight, still figuring out how to reach that 9 pm sleep goal 🌙

this challenge is teaching me that glow ups should look like resting, staying warm, choosing softness, and letting yourself just exist.

the hutle culture and grinding stuff has left me drained and jaded in 2025. i am out of it. it was never me.

if you relate to me or if it resonates with you then you can join me in my journey 🥰🎀
