100-Day Emo Glow Up Challenge: Week 5 – Book Something for You
Because You Deserve to Be on Your Own Calendar Too
Im closing out on Week 5 of the 100-Day Emo Glow Up Challenge – Book Something for You. This week, was all about taking up space in your own schedule and making self-prioritization a non-negotiable act of self-love.
In the chaos of adulting, it’s way too easy to treat yourself like an afterthought. You pencil in meetings, appointments, errands, and somehow always forget you. This week, we’re flipping the script: you’re the main event.
Why It Matters
Booking something for yourself — whether it’s a massage, a tattoo consultation, concert tickets, a solo coffee date, or a full-blown weekend getaway — is a way of telling yourself, I matter too. It doesn’t have to be expensive. It just has to be intentional.
You’re not waiting for someone else to give you permission. You’re reclaiming your time and attention, one calendar notification at a time.
Your Glow-Up Task:
Book something that’s just for you — and actually put it on your calendar.
Need ideas?
🎸 See your favorite band (or an emo tribute night) live
📚 Sign up for that creative writing class or book club
✨ Schedule a facial, massage, or even a piercing
☕️ Block out a morning for solo coffee + bookstore wandering
🖤 Book a day off just to rest, read, or play
Big or small, local or dreamy — it doesn’t matter. What matters is that it’s for you.
🖤 Elder Emo Reminder:
You spent your teenage years screaming lyrics about not fitting in — now you’re an adult and you still don’t have to. The real glow up is learning to unapologetically meet your own needs. You’re not selfish. You’re showing up for yourself. That’s punk as hell.
This week’s challenge is your permission slip to prioritize joy. You’re not “too busy.” You’re just not booked with yourself yet. Fix that.
Mornings hit different when you start with intention. ☕💪
I kick things off with coffee boosted with protein, then vibe into the day with my Apollo wearable’s wake-up session.
Hydration? Check.
Sun protection? Always.
I get my morning light in with the dog before it heats up, then move my body and fuel up with a protein-packed breakfast.
It’s not just a routine—it’s a ritual for energy, mood, and glow-up gains. 🌞✨
Walking into Week 4 of the 100-Day Emo Glow Up!
It’s time to romanticize your routine. Whether you’re brewing tea in the moonlight, journaling to your favorite sad playlist, or lighting a candle before your skincare ritual—this week is about creating calm, intentional moments that feel like home. Morning or night, build a ritual that recharges your soul and keeps the burnout monsters at bay. 🕯️📖🖤
100-Day Emo Glow Up – Week 3
Trying new workout styles keeps fitness fun, challenges your body in fresh ways, and helps you break through plateaus. Switching it up can reignite motivation and uncover new favorite ways to move. 💀🖤
Here are a few workout styles to try:
•Strength Training (dumbbells, barbells, machines)
•Circuit or HIIT Workouts (short, intense bursts with rest)
•Yoga or Pilates (core strength + flexibility)
•Kickboxing or Martial Arts (cardio + bada** energy)
•Dance Workouts (Zumba, hip-hop, or TikTok choreo)
•Bodyweight Training (no equipment needed)
•Mobility or Functional Training (great for injury prevention)
Mixing it up = major glow up. 🕯️✨🖤

Closing out Week 1 of the 100-Day Emo Glow Up
Week 1 of my 100 Day Glow Up is coming to a close this weekend!
This week I’ve nailed hydration (mostly thanks to the heat wave) and nutrition for the most part. I’m not going to lie, I slipped up yesterday and found that I wanted to eat snacks all day. But that was 1 day out of 7 so I will take it and move on. We can only live in the present so I won’t dwell on the past.
Overall, I would say this week has been a win. I’ve got in my daily movement, hydration, journaling, and nutrition. I’ve laid the foundation and am ready for the next step in this phase of the glow up!
Are you participating in the glow up? What’s your wins this week?
