Be "THAT GIRL": A Full Guide, Product Links, Vision boards, playlists & more!

Get ready because you're about to be scrollingggggg through a whole lot of greatness. Here's a FULL guide to living a healthy, balanced, self-loving life with links to helpful products!

After its debut on TikTok the ‘that girl’ trend has blown up into a series of youtube videos, instagram reels and Pinterest boards where girls have gravitated towards becoming the best versions themselves and doing so in the most beautiful ways possible.

Being ‘that girl’ is essentially the girl who has an aesthetically driven wellness routine that she performs daily. She wakes up early, makes her bed, eats healthy meals, workouts out in cute fits, journals, and surrounds herself with beautiful things. Each day brings her joy that comes from within and she lives a life that serves her. If you want to live a healthy, balanced, self-loving life like this girl, here is the guide you need.

WITHOUT THIS, DON'T EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME...

Get proper sleep

Getting proper sleep is a must for being 'that girl'. It sets the foundation for an energy filled day and an early morning rise.

Here’s how:

1. Stick to a sleep schedule

Go to bed and get up at the same time every day.

Consistency is life-changing and once you get in the rhythm of getting consistent sleep, you’ll find that you will function more effectively throughout the day. Keep your weekday and weekend sleeping schedule within the same time frame. You want to reinforce your body's sleep-wake cycle.

Apps like Sleep Cycle is great to help you manage and improve your sleeping habits

2. Pay attention to evening eating habits

Avoid heavy or large meals and stimulating foods like caffeine within a couple of hours of bedtime

3. Limit daytime naps

Daytime naps longer than 30 minutes can interfere with nighttime sleep. If you choose to nap, keep them short and do them earlier in the day.

4. Manage stress and thoughts

Stress negatively impacts your sleep. Learn what stresses you out and throw them AWAY or at least find ways to manage it. If you have racing thoughts at night, jot down what's on your mind and then set it aside for tomorrow. You can also use sound like white noise, ASMR videos or meditation apps to keep your mind rested.

5. Create a night routine

Make going to bed something you look forward to. Set the mood with candles, create a relaxing shower routine, listen to relaxing music or have comfortable bedding to dive in. The options are endless when creating your ideal routine.

WHAT EVERY 'THAT GIRL' DOES...

Wake up early

Now that you’ve gotten proper sleep, you can wake up early and feel refreshed. Waking up early gives you a great start to the day and allows you to have that much needed uninterrupted time to yourself. The ideal time is any time before 7am, but do what works for you.

Sunrise alarm clocks are a good option if you struggle to wake up early. They mimic the rising sun by gradually growing from a dim to a bright light and can be effective at helping you feel less groggy when you wake up. Products like this will be essential as the summer comes to an end.

Reset's her space

Put back anything that was misplaced during your night routine to keep your space fresh and tidy. The most common and SIMPLEST thing you can do is make your bed. Doing that keeps your space in order and sets you up to be more productive throughout your day.

Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate

Cute water bottle? Check!

Hydrating first thing in the morning and throughout the day is essential. You can find ‘that girl’ with a water bottle or glass by her side that she sips on throughout the day.

Eats healthy meals

'That girl' takes what she puts in her body seriously, but she also has fun with what she eats. She doesn’t limit herself while still respecting her temple. Learn what is healthy for your body. There may be a vitamin deficiency you are unaware of, so being in the know is important. Pay attention to how the food you eat makes you feel! You want the energy needed to live out your dream life and filling your body with the nutrition it needs will allow you to do so.

Selfcare

Self care is the best care! You can find ‘that girl’ looking cute in her green clay masks, taking relaxing candle-lit baths and reading books. Ask yourself, “how can I show love to myself?" Then take time to create a system(s) that allows me to do so. Once you do, be consistent!

Journaling (Gratitude + to do lists)

Journaling is an effective form of mental care; it reduces stress, boosts mood and strengthens emotional functions just to name a few of the benefits. As part of her daily routine ‘that girl’ journals as a way to check in with her thoughts and feelings. She expresses gratitude for the things, people and/or experiences in her life and she creates a plan for her day (to-do list).

I'd love to have this journal

Move Your body

Do a workout, go on a walk, or dance. Have fun and do what works for you, but make sure you move your body in some way almost everyday. Most importantly, incorporate getting outdoors when you are planning to exercise. ‘That girl’ enjoys being surrounded by nature and doing outdoor activities to get her body moving.

Romanticize

This is where all the aesthetics of being 'that girl' come in. Where everything from the meals workout fits look pretty and pleasing. Creating a beautiful space and keeping it tidy is the foundation to having the perfect space for an aesthetic routine. This “perfect” space is one that is true to you and makes living out your daily and sometimes mundane tasks enjoyable. Take each moment to indulge in every action that you do. For example, play your favorite music as you gather ingredients for your meals and take the time to plate your meal in an aesthetically pleasing way before setting up a nice space for you to eat and enjoy. Think of the daily moments of your life as pieces of art you’re crafting.
