30-day glow up challenge that's kind to you.
This glow up is about how you feel, not how you look: rested, looked after and a little more put together. No diets, no scales and no before and after photos. Just five small habits, kept for a month.
- 30 days
- five habits a day
- one prompt a day
The rules: five small habits.
Each one takes a few minutes. Keep all five every day, and make any of them smaller when you need to.
-
Drink water
Keep a bottle where you can see it and have a glass in the morning, at midday and in the evening.
-
Move in a way you enjoy
A walk, a dance in your room, a stretch on the floor. Anything that feels good counts.
-
Plan tomorrow
Pick tomorrow's outfit and write the three things that matter most. Your morning starts with fewer choices.
-
Skincare
Wash your face and put on a moisturizer you already have. Simple enough to do half asleep.
-
In bed on time
Pick a bedtime that gives you enough sleep and aim for it most nights. A little earlier counts.
Your 30 days, one small step each.
Keep the rules every day, and add the day's prompt on top. Swap any prompt for one you like better.

If you miss a day.
Missing a day is part of any challenge, not the end of it. Pick up with the next day's prompt and carry on. A month of most days is still a month of small habits kept.
In Cozy, a busy day does not have to cost you a streak: skip the habit for the day and its streak holds. Away or unwell for a while? Pause the habit, and its streak waits for you.
More on what to do when you miss a day.
Keep the challenge in Cozy.
Make these five habits in Cozy and tick each one off as you go. The cards fill with color and your streak counts the days.
Three tips for 30 days.
-
Aim for put together, not perfect
A made bed and a clean face are a glow up on a tired day. Keep the bar low and keep going.
-
Set it up the night before
Tomorrow's outfit, a full water bottle, your skincare by the sink. A calm night routine does half the work.
-
Compare with your own day 1
Someone else's glow up is their month, not yours. Look back at how you felt on day 1, not at anyone's feed.
Rather use paper?
Print the monthly habit tracker, write the five habits down the side and color in a box each day.
Questions, answered.
What is a glow up challenge?
A month of small habits that help you feel more rested and put together. This one is about how you feel, with no diet, weight or looks goals.
What should a glow up routine include?
Simple care habits: water, movement you enjoy, a skincare routine, a bedtime and a little planning. Pick the ones that fit your life and keep them small.
Do I need special products?
No. Water, soap, a moisturizer you already have and a notebook are enough. Nothing in this challenge needs buying.
What if I miss a day?
Carry on the next day. In Cozy you can skip a habit for a busy day without losing its streak, or pause it for a while.
