Small Things You Can do to Feel Prettier in Only an Hour ...

Feeling prettier is one of those things that, rather paradoxically, can have a big impact even from small changes. I’ve had my fair share of day-long battles with the mirror, which is why finding little ways to boost my confidence is practically my secret superpower. Whether you're getting ready for a Zoom meeting (hello, remote work in 2024!) or just want to brighten your mood, these quick fixes can make all the difference.

First up, let’s talk about the magic of self-care. It's 2024, and if we’ve learned anything from the last few years, it’s the importance of taking time for ourselves. Sometimes, all you need is a warm face mask and a ten-minute break from your phone. By giving your skin some TLC, you will not only feel refreshed but you'll also notice that extra glow reflecting in the mirror. Trust me, your future self will thank you.

So, while you're at it, why not give your hair some love too? A speedy way to level up your look is with a quick hairstyle change. I can't emphasize enough how much of a game-changer it can be to switch things up every now and then. Whether it’s a simple braid, an updo, or just adding a cute clip, these little tweaks can make you feel like you've stepped right out of a fashion magazine – with just minimal effort.

Another fabulous trick? Wardrobe tweaks. Now, you don’t have to overhaul your closet or splurge on new outfits. Sometimes, swapping out basic pieces or adding a statement accessory can give you that boost of confidence and help you feel prettier. For all the stylish tips, check out Wardrobe Tips in our Table of Contents; because sometimes, it’s the little things that add a splash of fabulous to your everyday ensemble.

Of course, why stop at appearances? Hydration is equally important when it comes to feeling good. Drinking water can do wonders not only for your overall health but also for giving you that invigorated glow from within. Next time you’re feeling a bit blah, try chugging a glass of water and see how that energy transformation begins.

Adding a shot of positivity to your day can be as simple as indulging in a quick dance party or listening to your favorite upbeat tunes. Music, after all, has an undeniable way of lifting our spirits and adding that spark.

So, let's dive into these quick yet effective tricks for feeling prettier – and maybe even give ourselves that little extra pep in our step.

Nap

wedding dress, clothing, person, bridal clothing, gown,

If you are feeling sluggish or down, one great recommendation is to take a quick cat nap if you have the chance. Sleep allows the mind to rest, even if it only for 10 or 20 minutes, and when you wake up you will feel more refreshed and you will have a better outlook on yourself and on the day.

Work out

human action, structure, room, overhead press, fitness professional,

There is nothing like a good work out to make you feel and look better! Not only do the physical benefits of exercise help your body to look and feel better, but the endorphins that are released as a result of the activity will give you great sense of wellbeing and euphoria. Even if you’re at work, get into the rest rooms and do a few jumping jacks and squats. Even arm and leg circles at your desk will help.

Hide the Pimples

Sometimes when you’re not at your best, your acne and blemishes might seem worse than they really are. Get clever with color correcting makeup. If your skin is looking a bit more red than usual, use a yellowish foundation to even out skin tone. If you’re not sure about color correcting makeup check out Eliza’s helpful post What Should You Know about Color Correcting Makeup ... @Eliza

Perfume

You can’t beat the scent of a fantastic perfume, and real studies have actually shown to prove that a woman wearing some alluring perfume can feel more self-confident than a woman who isn’t, not to mention the fact that potential love interests will be enticed by your exotic scent! Smell good, feel good.

Water

It cannot be stressed enough how important drinking is to any beauty regime. Staying hydrated by drinking the recommended eight glasses of water every day will keep your skin looking healthy as well as feeling healthy, with women who stay hydrated boasting much smoother and more elastic skin than those who do not. As well as drinking it, using a water spritzer during the day can brighten your skin and give it an instant dewy glow. Keep a spritzer in your work drawer or handbag.

Apply Bronzer

Bronzer is great to give you a sun-kissed glow and instantly make you feel better. Liquid bronzer especially is a good choice when you’re not feeling your best and want to look healthier. I Don’t forget it’s not just for contouring your face. t will slightly dehydrate the skin making it look and feel tighter. If you even out the bumps and reduce cellulite bumps, why wouldn’t you feel good?

Coconut Oil

Apply some coconut oil to your hair to treat it to a wonderfully therapeutic deep condition. Not only does it smell absolutely glorious, but your hair will come looking much shinier and much smoother than ever before. A great quick fix if you want to feel prettier fast.

Wear Something Pretty

This doesn't mean you have to run out and buy a new outfit-although who doesn't love an excuse to shop?!-but it could be something as simple as cute underwear, a nice lace bra, or even some cartoon socks you enjoy. Whatever it is, wear it for you! Having something on you love will boost your confidence and make you feel better about yourself.

Talk to Your Mother

Generally speaking, moms and even grandmas, are wonderful for giving compliments without having to fish for them. Next time you feel down, call up someone you know will stroke your ego and it'll have you feeling great the rest of the day. My grandma is wonderful about this so she's always the one I call when I need some extra TLC.

Treat YourselF

clothing, dress, costume, gown, hairstyle,

Whether it's a new hair style, color, manicure, or pedicure, take yourself out and pamper yourself! It could even be all of the above. Just go do something nice for yourself and you'll instantly start feeling better and prettier.

All these can be done in a short time and give your great results in feeling prettier.

I do all of those. (I don't use makeup though) only lipstick and mascara. That's why everyone calls me attractive. I thought they were lying
