Start Your Physical Glow-Up — At Any Age

There’s no glow-up without wellness.

We live in a world that still treats women differently based on how they look. And while we don’t have to agree with it — we have to understand the rules if we want to play smarter.

In The Private Edit, we deal with reality — not ideals.

Your energy, your health, your strength, your appearance… they shape how you experience the world.

And how the world responds to you.

The truth is: a more refined version of yourself starts with a well-functioning body.

And yes, at any age.

Let’s begin with the foundation. 👇

✧ Fitness Made Easy

Walking is one of the most underrated and powerful tools to upgrade your physical self — and it’s accessible.

Aim for 30 to 90 minutes daily.

Not just for the fat burn — but for your mind, your energy, and your nervous system.

Studies have shown that moderate-intensity walking reduces belly fat, improves mood, boosts cardiovascular health, and increases oxygenation — which regulates cortisol and supports digestion.

Whenever possible, walk outside. Breathe. Process. Expand.

If you have time, add a short dumbbell session when you return.

You don’t need to go to a gym.

I prefer working out from home — it’s less disruptive, more efficient, and no one tries to flirt with me mid-set.

✧ My Weekly Training Routine (for reference, not imitation)

Monday: Walk 30 min + Inner/outer thighs (my “hard to lose” area)

Tuesday: Long walk 1h (cardio focus)

Wednesday: Walk 30 min + Back & glutes

Thursday: Walk 30 min + Biceps & triceps

Friday: Walk 1h + Shoulders & abs

Start with full-body workouts if you’re new.

Later, when you reach a plateau or want to shape a specific area, split your workouts by muscle group.

And no — you don’t need a $300 program to start.

Head over to my Pinterest board GLOW UP BIBLE — it’s filled with free, curated routines for home or gym training.

Stick to the basics. They work.

✧ Eat Smart, Look Sharp

You can’t out-train a bad diet.

And most “healthy” meals are still too high in sugar, processed carbs, and seed oils.

Here’s what I recommend as suggestions but in doubt, go to a nutritionnist :

Cut sugar as much as possible.

Prioritize protein at every meal.

Stop eating by 6:00 PM (unless your lifestyle doesn’t allow it)

Minimum 3 cups of vegetables a day (raw or cooked)

Drink 2L of water daily — minimum

Reduce dairy if you feel bloated

Minimize gluten, especially if it makes you foggy or inflamed

Nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all, but inflammation and instability are universal enemies, so listen to your body.

✧ Supplements recommended by age (suggestion but it doesn't replace medical advice of course) :

This isn’t medical advice — but general, supportive recommendations based on real needs by decade.

In your 20s:

Omega-3

Magnesium glycinate

Vitamin D

Iron (if tired or menstruating heavily)

Probiotics

Collagen peptides (prevention)

In your 30s:

All of the above

Ashwagandha (for stress/adrenals)

B-complex (for hormonal balance)

Protein powder (to hit macros efficiently)

In your 40s:

Add CoQ10 (energy, heart)

Calcium (bone preservation)

DIM or inositol (if hormonally imbalanced)

L-glutamine (gut & lean muscle support)

In your 50s:

Omega-3 & calcium (increase doses)

Vitamin K2 + D3 (bone support)

Magnesium malate (energy + sleep)

Adaptogens (like Rhodiola)

In your 60s+:

Omega-3 & turmeric (joint health)

Collagen & vitamin C combo (skin elasticity)

Fiber supplement

Ginseng or lion’s mane (brain + memory)

You don’t need 15 bottles on the counter. But 4 or 5 solid ones — daily — will support everything else you do.

✧ Final Thoughts

Your goal is not to chase a specific number.

Your goal is to build a body that works for you, not against you.

A body that reflects how seriously you take your life.

No matter your starting point. No matter your age.

And when your energy sharpens, your posture changes, your clothes fit differently — you’ll see it.

The world will, too. 💗

Build Your Side Hustle From Scratch

There is nothing more elegant than being self-sourced.

Not just emotionally — but financially. Not because you want to prove anything, but because you’re building something of your own.

A side hustle gives you options. It softens uncertainty.

It makes space for who you’re becoming — not just who you need to be to survive.

This isn’t about hustle culture. This is about sovereignty.

You don’t need millions of followers, a business degree, or even a logo. You need a skill, a structure, and the will to start.

Let’s walk through it — softly, but seriously.

Start by observing what already exists.

Not what you’re trying to become — but what you consistently offer, even without effort. There are things you do so naturally, you’ve stopped noticing them. But they’re often the beginning.

Ask yourself:

• What do people come to you for?

• What do you execute quickly, with clarity?

• What are you tired of doing for free?

If you’re still unsure, keep on reading.

✧ If you’re a communicator

You understand tone. You know when a message needs to be softened or sharpened. You help people say what they mean — with precision.

That skill translates into CV refinement, brand messaging, micro-copywriting, or editorial consulting.

You can position yourself clearly on LinkedIn, grow long-form content through Substack, and drive consistent traffic with Pinterest.

✧ If you’re visually driven

You have an eye for balance.

You understand how design affects perception — and you notice when something feels off.

This lends itself to creating aesthetic templates, brand kits, printables, and visual systems.

But the real value lies in your ability to curate, not just create.

Show your work through Instagram, host it on Creative Market, and structure it with Canva.

You can create digital products in Canva - like Instagram feed for a specific niche - and resell them on Etsy

✧ If you’re intuitive and structured

You catch details others miss. You see the bigger picture while holding the process.

You turn ideas into timelines.

You might build digital planners or launch sequences and agendas for solopreneurs.

What others find overwhelming, you simplify.

Use Pinterest for strategy-led content, email for long-term authority, and host your products via Payhip or Gumroad.

✧ If your insight comes from experience

You’ve gone through something that forced growth.

You’ve rebuilt your confidence, your finances, or your direction — and now, you know what’s essential.

You can package that clarity.

You might offer a guided journaling experience, a minimalist coaching offer, or offering business strategies.

Your story can be sold as a solution.

Still unsure? Here's how to turn your instincts into an offer

Let’s simplify.

Think of your side hustle as a solution — something you can offer that makes a process easier, clearer, or more beautiful for someone else.

Ask yourself:

• What do people complain about around you?

• What do they compliment you on — consistently?

• What challenge have you already overcome?

You might have created a weekly meal plan that finally works.

You may have helped friends structure their CVs.

These experiences can be translated into digital offers — even simple ones like a checklist, a starter kit, a PDF resource, a styled template, a script or a framework.

Once you’ve identified your offer — even something small — the next step is visibility.

Because a product that can’t be found… doesn’t exist.

While you're building, keep this in mind: the way you show up on Google matters.

It’s not about being everywhere — it’s about being where the search begins.

If you're not sure how to start, don’t worry.

I'll soon be releasing a guide that walks you through the essentials of getting your offer discovered — organically, strategically, and without paid ads.

Until then, focus on refining your product, clarifying your message, and building one solid page that speaks directly to the person you want to reach.

Because visibility isn't noise. It's alignment.

And once it clicks, you’ll never build the same way again. 🤍

Your Presence is Currency

Spend it wisely.

There is a kind of richness that has nothing to do with money.

It’s the quiet weight of a woman who knows where she belongs — and where she doesn’t.

Your presence is not something you give freely to everyone.

It’s your most precious form of currency.

When you enter a room, when you speak, when you listen —you are spending something sacred.

And not everyone is worth the cost.

You don’t owe your presence to people who don’t honour it.

You don’t owe your energy to conversations that drain you.

You don’t owe your softness to those who mishandle it.

Elegance is not just how you dress. It’s how you distribute yourself.

A woman who protects her presence moves differently.

She speaks with clarity, not noise.

She withdraws without drama.

She choose wisely who has access to her.

Not because she thinks she’s better.

But because she finally remembers she was never meant to be everywhere at once.

There are people who will not understand your evolution.

People who will shrink when you expand.

People who will call it arrogance when you begin to choose peace over chaos.

Let them.

You are not leaving them behind.

You are just leveling-up, and that's the price to pay.
