Welcome to the glow up recipe! My name’s Issy and I’m an undergraduate psychology student with a passion for all things self-development and growth. A year ago, I was stuck in an endless cycle of disappointment and hopelessness, feeling as though everything was going wrong in my life and overwhelmed by feelings of depression and anxiety. This was when I decided it was time for things to change. And the best part? I’ve spent all these hours researching so you don’t have to!

The glow up recipe is a blog dedicated to growing together. I am by no means an expert or perfect – everyday I am constantly learning, healing and developing as a person. This blog is all about growing together, sharing our knowledge and creating a community dedicated to becoming our best self. Because with only around 100 years to live this life, why waste time being anything but extraordinary?
