The 2023 Glow-Up
January 30, 2023
We’re all about striving to be the best version of ourselves year-round, but the start of a new year just hits different. Head to The Shoppes to kickstart your 2023 refresh with nourishing food, a trendsetting wardrobe and home decor reset, and some well-earned self care.
From the Inside Out
The most important step to being a better you in 2023 is nourishing your body from the inside out. Start the day with essential antioxidants by introducing a delicious and wholesome organic acai bowl from Trader Joe’s. If you’re eating lunch on the go, Panera Bread has selections packed with healthy grains and nutrients, like this Mediterranean Bowl with brown rice, quinoa, hummus and tahini. On your next Starbucks visit, consider swapping your usual Frappuccino for an antioxidant rich cup of green tea. If you still want to satisfy your sweet tooth, try a matcha latte!
Back to Basics
Studies show that our mental health is influenced by the amount of clutter in our homes. Doing a full closet purge will do wonders for your mood and help you hone in on your personal style. Once you get rid of the excess, fill the holes in your closet with quality basics to mix and match with your existing pieces. A cool pair of slouchy paperbag trousers from Banana Republic will update that plain black tee you already love, while a bold striped sweater from GAP will elevate a simple pair of black skinny jeans. Add Add some polish to a pair of dark wash jeans with some classic Chelsea boots from Jos. A. Bank.
New (And Actually Doable) Habits
A healthy habit doesn’t have to be hard to stick to. You can take simple steps to improve parts of your life without putting in much work at all! Trying to drink more water? A cute and encouraging reusable water bottle from Francesca’s will remind you to take water breaks throughout the day. Trying to take better care of your hair? Swap your cotton pillowcase for a silk version like this one from Sephora for smoother, shinier strands with zero effort. Looking to embark on a more consistent self-care journey? Dry brushing is an affordable, easy way to restore firmness, get rid of dry flaky skin, and encourage blood flow to certain areas of the body. Plus, it feels amazing first thing in the morning before you shower! This body brush from Bluemercury is the only tool you need.
Pamper
Take the time to treat yourself to services that will instantly boost your confidence. A Hydrafacial at Vibrance MedSpa is soothing, refreshing, and rejuvenating for your skin with noticeable results. For the smoothest skin all year long, the highly anticipated L.A. Bikini offers a better hair removal experience than ever before with their gentle sugaring method. A quick fix for feeling polished and put-together is a classic and clean French mani from Top Style Nails.
