The Hot Girl in Me, Sees the Hot Girl in You
Published 10/4/26
So you’ve lost your sparkle…
Do not fret! You’ve come to the right girl.
Maybe you’ve been on auto-pilot the last six months without realizing it, maybe you just got dumped, maybe you don’t know what eyeshadow palette speaks to you anymore- better yet, maybe you’re just feeling ready for a newer, hotter version of yourself!
As someone who enters and exits this phase like a revolving door, here are the steps you need to take to get your inner hot girl back: (and I’ll let you in on a little secret, the good news is that you never run out of attempts to get your hot girl back)
I’m talking everythingggg. Use that overpriced body scrub, try out that clarifying shampoo sample you got from Sephora, splurge on the body oil (my fav is the L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil)
There’s just something about having your nails done that makes you feel whole. (Oh and pay extra for the foot scrub and massage, you deserve it.)
Whether this is a new color, a new cut, or even just styling it differently, hair changes a lot.
I don’t care if it’s natural or fake, being tan makes you feel hotter. I don’t make the rules.
Ok I really hope you got that reference but what I mean by this is go and treat yourself to something you feel good in. Maybe you’ve been eyeing a flirty new pj set, maybe it's a cozy new robe, or maybe you’ve just been looking for an excuse to splurge on that dress you’ve been obsessing over on Revolve. We all deserve to indulge every once in a while!
For some (okay, for me) that may be a 10 mile walk around the island of Manhattan crying to Olivia Rodrigo’s new album but maybe to you, it’s going to your favorite workout class or trying that new pilates studio that just opened up down the street. Movement heals all.
I don’t care if this is your long distance best friend, your mom, your work bestie, all I know is that a FaceTime call with someone who knows you, sees you, and loves you is always good for the soul.
- Yeah yeah, I know it’s cheesy but we could all really use a little more whimsy in our lives. I have been lighting candles, (anything to avoid overhead lighting) and playing music that you’d have heard in a 2000’s RomCom while I do my nighttime routine and some would say I am looking more and more like the main character every day because of it.
Hot girls are interesting!! And engaging!! I have a list of articles I keep on my phone (pro-tip, did you know that in safari, you can create “Tab Groups” and then sort your articles into their own section?) I am trying to read one article each day to keep me informed on random topics because the most interesting people you know form opinions and know a lot about a lot of different things!
A trip, a GNO with friends you haven’t seen in a while, or a maybe it’s just that you’re looking forward to your morning walk + coffee. Big or small, having something to look forward to makes the hard days feel just a bit lighter.
Et voila! I already feel much hotter just by reading this list, don’t you already feel hotter? What I want each of you to take from this is that your inner hot girl never left you, she just needs to be re-awakened every once in a while. I’ll leave you with words of wisdom from my instagram bio, “be hot, have fun!”
