Summer 2025 is not just a season. It is your reintroduction era. This is the summer you walk in a room and people have to pause like, "Wait, is that her?" Because you didn't just glow up. You locked in. You elevated. And you became the version of you that no one saw coming.
And in this video, I'm giving you the three-step pre-summer glow-up plan that will make that transformation unmistakable. By the time I am done with you, you will not have a single excuse left to not be glowing on the beach, sipping that piña colada, looking and feeling like the complete dream woman. Remember that you cannot complain about the version of you that you did not lock in for.
The theme of this pre-summer glow-up plan is no fluff, no 27-step routines, no vague advice like just drink more water. I'm giving you the core systems that actually move the needle.
Before we get into it, my name is Vikita, and on this channel we talk about all things feminine reality creation and becoming the full package, aka just becoming the best version of you. If you want more from me than just my YouTube videos, make sure to go to the description box, check out the links to my digital products and my feminine energy manifestation course. And if you actually want to see me apply my own advice in my daily life, make sure to follow me on Instagram and leave a comment down below if you would like me to start doing a monthly vlog.
Phase number one is the foundation. You are going to build the body that holds your beautiful energy. All the inner work in the world won't make you feel confident if you still don't have the body of your dreams. Don't get mad, just prove me wrong. Inner work is 80% of the confidence pie. But you start to hit a bottleneck where you literally can't go further than that in your confidence journey. When you are still living inside a body that does not match the mind and the energy that you have cultivated, both the internal and the external work together to make you your most hottest and highest version of yourself.
So these are the six things you need to start doing starting today for the next 30 days to build that foundation. Number one is starting a posture routine. Bad posture doesn't just make you look frumpy, it literally kills your vibe. It kills the way that your body looks, therefore killing your energy. And not only that, it shrinks your presence. When you look at people, you can automatically tell if they're confident or if they're not by the way they hold themselves. People that aren't confident are in a very contracted energy, which means they want to like hide everything. They want to close themselves in. They don't stand up straight. They don't look people in the eyes, and they just like do, you know, looking around the ground like this. Confident people are open. They're in expanded energy, and they can literally move a room based on their posture, which also is the essence of your energy. Good posture gives you an instant confident boost. It makes you look sexy. The clothes that you wear look better, and you look so much more elegant and graceful.
These are the three posture exercises you're going to add into your daily routine: chin tucks, wall angles, and snow angels. So, the way I like to do snow angels is I lie on a foam roller. Like, I get on my back and then I start pretending like I'm making a snow angel. That really helps, especially if you have like a dowager's hump, which I developed in university. Not a good look. So, that really helps just define the back and make everything very straight and, you know, upright.
The second one is simple. It's talked about over and over and over again. It's just a basic but a staple, and that is a high-protein, low-calorie diet. If you want your body being beach-ready in 30 days, trust me when I say you can transform it with just having protein and having a low-calorie diet. So, you're eating in a calorie deficit and you're increasing your protein intake. Your goal is to have at least one gram of protein per pound of body weight. These two things right here will get you snatched. I have been doing this since March, April, and my body already looks 10 times more different. It looks more toned. I've said this in so many videos already, but I'm telling you, it is the staple and it is the formula that will get you your bikini body.
This is something that I have just found out about in the last couple of months. And already my body has seen insane progress over the 10 years I've been putting into the gym, eating very, very high protein, but not eating in a calorie deficit, wondering why I'm still holding on to my stomach fat and just not having those toned arms. You need to be in a calorie deficit, but also keeping your protein super, super high. So, you're building muscle, getting toned and leaned while you're losing body fat.
An example of what I eat in a day: I will have one chicken sausage, two boiled eggs, a slice of toast with light cream cheese for breakfast. Go-to. Then for lunch, I'm having ground beef with tomato. Simple. For dinner, I'm having 100 grams of chicken and a side of veg and some sort of like, if I'm feeling it, I'll have some sort of starch, like a one potato or something like that. And then throughout the day, I'm snacking on cottage cheese, carrots, and veggies. That hits my protein goal every single day. It's no fuss. It's simple. It's easy to meal prep. I'm hitting the protein goal, but I'm also staying in a calorie deficit with a couple hundred extra calories to allocate to things like maybe having a beer because I love drinking beer, maybe I'm having a sweet treat. I'm having those extra couple hundred calories. It's really not been stressing me out at all. I have just found it to be very easy and simple for me.
Make sure you're tracking your intake throughout the month. So, I use an app called My Fitness Pal. I literally just log all my food. It tracks my steps. I can also log my water intake. It also adds more calories onto my calorie deficit based on how much I've burned. If that all sounds very complicated, don't stress. Just go download My Fitness Pal. Get into a calorie deficit and up your protein intake. Then, you will be so snatched in 30 days.
Number three is in conjunction with your calorie deficit and your protein goal. You have to hit 10,000 steps every single day. Getting a walking pad has changed my life because I don't just go out there for hot girl walks. It's not for me. I've never enjoyed it. I find it like a very dragging part of my day where I feel like it's just too much effort. I always talk about resistance points in my videos. Resistance is the thing that is going to stop you from doing the thing. Okay? So the good habit that you want to have, there should be no resistance in between from you starting to you actually doing the thing. So what I mean by me and the hot girl walks: when I wake up every single day, I have resistance points for I want to get up, then I got to look cute, then I got to put on a cute outfit, then I got to gather my stuff, and then I got to go down the elevator, then I got to go out for the hot girl walk, and I've got to entertain myself for like 30, 40 minutes. Like, what am I doing for that time? I just find there are a lot of resistance points that stop me from getting outside for walks. So then I came up with the solution and got a walking pad. Now I am so excited to get on my walking pad. I do it when I need a break. I do it after I've just eaten. I do it and put on a show or I do it in the evenings and watch my YouTube videos. There is no resistance to me getting my 10,000 steps now that I have a walking pad. My fitness routine is me going to the gym, doing my strength training, and then hopping on the treadmill for 30 minutes, doing my hot girl walk there. Then I come back up. I do the rest of my day and then I hop on my walking pad. I'm hitting 10,000 steps every single day because of that. There's zero resistance. So, make sure when you're trying to get your 10,000 steps in, you're doing it in a way that you're actually going to stick with it rather than saying, "I'm going to go for these hot girl walks outside," and then you're like me and you're like, "Okay, this is just too much effort to go all the way outside right now." Especially if you live in an apartment or a condo. The easiest way to do this is to break it into three walks. So, as soon as you get up, pop on your walking pad for 30 minutes. Then when you go for your workout, go on the treadmill for 30 minutes after you finish your strength training. Then in the evening, pop on an episode of your favorite show and finish your steps off. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. This is the easiest way to burn fat and get in your soft girl cardio. Like walking is the best form of fat loss there is in conjunction with high protein, low calorie. It's chef's kiss.
Number four is having a body care routine. Your skin needs to be glowing, glistening, and shining when you're laying on that beach or partaking in any summer activity. You need to be like a beam of sunshine. And the way you're going to do this is from today, have a body care routine. The body care routine needs to be addressing the three main concerns, which is dull skin, uneven skin, and textured skin. So, you're going to add a body scrub in the shower. I make my own with AHA acid powder, turmeric, and you know, a bunch of other stuff that I forget. I'll link my turmeric AHA acid body scrub recipe down below. So, you're using the body scrub in the shower. Then, you're going in with AHA acid body soap with exfoliating gloves or an African nut sponge. I use both. Then, once you're out of the shower, you're going to apply some sort of retinol, body retinol onto your skin. And then I'll go in with a body moisturizer that contains lactic acid of 10%. And that is the killer. And I'll even go a step further and maybe use a salicylic acid wash in the shower on the really stubborn problem areas, and I'm dry brushing. So that's the five-step routine. And when you come to me and tell me that that's too rough, you don't know my skin. Okay? So if you can't handle that, don't use all those things. I can handle it. My body loves it. And I have very stubborn KP on the backs of my thighs and under my arms, so I have to hit it from all angles. So figure out what works for you, but make sure you're doing at least three of those things every single day. When I tell you you will have the smoothest skin possible, I'm not lying. On top of that, you're sealing everything in with raw virgin coconut oil. Coconut oil will have your skin being the smoothest it's ever been. No other oil can top coconut oil when it comes to body moisture and silkiness. Just trust me on that. My personal recommendation is to stop shaving and just get waxes. Razor bumps are so prominent, especially on darker skin tones, brown skin, dark skin. Once I switched from shaving to waxing, my skin has felt so much better. And even just the visuals of it, like it just looks so much better because I don't get those razor bumps. So again, this is preference, but I'm just saying check it out. If you suffer from razor bumps and your skin just feels like bumpy and textured, just maybe try switching to waxing.
Number five is deep core exercises. I mentioned this in a previous video, but it's a staple. If you want to be snatched in 30 days, you've got to ditch the ab workouts that are 15 minutes long, and you need to just get on to doing a two or three-minute ab workout, which includes deep core exercises. This is a very different way of targeting your ab muscles, and it literally sucks you in from the inside out instead of just working with what you already have. I have never found any results with abs, but I have noticed real results with deep core exercises. So, you can just search it up on TikTok. There's like three different exercises that are I think staples. Get that into your routine every single day in the evenings. Trust me, this plan is not like no regular plan. It is going to have you looking so different in 30 days. Just trust me.
And the sixth thing for the foundation, which is your body, is going into a sauna on your rest days. Now, you might not have access to getting into a sauna, and that's totally okay. This is not going to impact your results in any way, shape, or form. It's just a good micro thing to sort of add on top of all the core five things we've just spoken about and give you that detox and sort of just help the elasticity and, you know, the softness of your skin. But, by no means is it a staple and by no means will it hinder your results. This is just a nice, nice to have on top of the rest of the things we talked about. Plus, it helps with muscle recovery and eliminating toxins. And those are all great things that can assist the overall summer glow-up.
And number seven is very, very important, and that is vaginal oiling. If you've never heard or done vaginal oiling, trust me when I say it's going to get you right. You don't want to be in a bikini feeling a little uncomfortable because it's not glistening. It's looking a little dull and uneven and just flat. Okay? We want it to be looking shiny, soft, and just like delectable. And you're going to get that by doing vaginal oiling. All you do is you take that coconut oil. Like I dry brush down there, which again, you might be like, "Well, Vikita, you need to not do that." I'm all good. My things are all right. Okay. Everything's looking right. So, take my dry brush, do that down there, and then I'll go in with my coconut oil. And it just seals it in. It's so soft. No razor bumps. It just looks so put together. Okay, so vaginal oiling. Need I say more? No. All you got to do is just get you some coconut oil. However, I must say when you're applying your coconut oil down there, you need to make sure it is unrefined and it is virgin. Because you're applying it all up in there, not just the surface, like not inside, but you're applying it all in the folds and everywhere. So, make sure it is virgin and it is unrefined. You don't want to be putting any harsh chemicals or anything down there.
Phase number two is the canvas, aka your face card. The first thing that is going to get you ready for your summer is microneedling at home. Now, I'm gonna have to say and preface this: You probably will only be able to get one microneedling session in because now you're going to be hitting the beach, and you're only allowed to microneedle every four weeks. So, technically, this would have been something we should have been starting months ago. And I'm sorry I didn't let you in on it. I have been doing it. But, I'm telling you now, get a microneedling pen. Microneedle at home, or if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, go get it professionally done. But when I say microneedling at home and this pen has changed my life. I got it last year for Christmas. It evens out your skin texture, gets rid of dark marks, gets rid of hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles. It boosts your collagen. So like any indentations or any uneven texture you have, it will go vamoose. Not sure how much you will get out of it in just one session, but no harm in just getting one session in before these 30 days. So, if you haven't, I'll link my pen down below. I got it in England, but there is a US version and a Canadian version. So, I'll link it down below in my Amazon. This has changed my skin for the better.
Another suggestion is to just get a derma stamp. So, if you don't want to spend the money on a pen or you just don't feel comfortable with the pen because it seems a little bit too advanced for you, just go in with a derma stamp. And it's essentially the same exact thing. You're just making micro-pricks in the skin to cause small injuries where the skin just rapidly repairs itself and increases cell turnover. And I actually don't know if you can use a derma stamp more frequently. You'll have to do your own research on that. But if you can, then definitely get the derma stamp because then you can use it more in these 30 days, like maybe once a week, and you'll be literally killing it in the next 30 days with your skin.
Number two is doing at-home laser. If you haven't noticed by now, I love to do everything at home because I just think it's amazing because we have the tools at our disposal, and I feel very comfortable and confident. I've always done things myself. So, I also add home laser that is just going to get rid of the peach fuzz. It's going to just make the skin look more dewy and more radiant and glowy because you don't have that peach fuzz laying on the skin. It's not going to make a huge, huge difference again because you're doing it at home. So, I wouldn't do areas that you're extremely hairy in. I would just do it on areas that you just have peach fuzz. You can maybe do your bikini line and all of that stuff, but just do at-home laser. It will just take your makeup looks to the next level, your skin radiance, all to the next level. And what I love about the at-home laser devices is you can use them once a week instead of having to wait every six weeks for professional laser. So if you're just targeting areas with very fine hair like on your face, peach fuzz, you can do it four times in these next 30 days, which will already give you results by the next 30 days, and then you can just keep up with it.
Number three is to just simplify your skincare routine. Now is not the time to be experimenting with different serums and all the viral TikTok products and all these different things. Trust me, I am a huge victim of buying things from TikTok and just being like, "Okay, that's the next best thing. That's the next best thing." But we don't have time to be doing that and experimenting in these next 30 days. We need to be on our game and be doing routines that are tried and true that we know are going to get us the results. Again, like I said, no 27-step routines, just things that actually work. So simplify your routine. Make sure you have a good vitamin C in there. I get mine from Makeup Artist Choice. Their vitamin C is 20%. It's professional grade. It's amazing. Sunscreen and a really, really good moisturizer. That's your A.M. routine. Nighttime routine maybe even more simple. Or you add one extra product, whatever the case may be. But I'm always ending my nighttime routine off with CeraVe cream. CeraVe cream is great for barrier repair. Locks in all the moisture. It's really been a game changer in my skin. Simplify, simplify, simplify. Don't go experimenting. Put a pause on your credit card or your regular card. Do not buy anything for these next 30 days. You are just sticking with what already works.
And number four for your lethal face card is getting a lash serum and a brow serum. And doing that every single day, twice a day. My eyelashes have grown like weeds. My eyebrows have filled out. They look so full. They look darker. My eyelashes have become so long that I've actually had to switch to brown mascara so that they don't look absurdly long and like spidery. They might even look spidery right now. They're so long. I have been using Nano Lash and Nano Brow. Shout out to Molly Mae. That's my girl. We're not friends, but I love her. She's the one who said that those two products have completely changed her eyelashes and her eyebrows. And she was not lying. Those have completely changed my eyebrow and eyelash game. I don't even wear mascara anymore. Like I only wear mascara when I'm going out like for dinner or something or if I'm filming a video or filming content. And then if you want to take it a step further and just do a lash perm and lash tint at home, that is just a perfect duo.
Now we've covered the body, we've covered the face, now we got to go to your crown, aka your hair. This is phase three. Healthy, shiny, and no-maintenance sexy beach hair. There's no better combo. And you're going to get there with just one thing, and that is a daily hair routine. So, we've got the body routine, we've got the face routine, and now we need a hair routine.
Before we get into what you're going to do in your daily routine, we need to talk about two things that are going to drastically help the length of your hair and the health of your hair. The first is a bond repair treatment. And you're always going to introduce a bond repair treatment into those washes. If you have low porosity hair, there might be a different routine. Medium and high porosity hair, those are all going to require different routines. I'm no hair expert. Abby Young is. So, get on to TikTok and figure all that out for yourself. But, I'm just sort of condensing what you need to start with. So, figure out the porosity of your hair by snipping off just a small strand of clean hair, putting it in water, and seeing if it stays at the top, sinks to the middle, or floats to the bottom. I think if it floats to the bottom, it's high porosity. If it stays in the middle, it's medium porosity. And if it stays on the top, it's low porosity hair. So that's the first step. The second step is to get a routine that works for that porosity of hair. Otherwise, you will cause more damage than good. Then you're going to have your bond repair step peppered through whatever routine works for your porosity hair type. But when I say bond repair has made my hair grow very long, it's thickening my hair up again after having it bleached and dyed for several years of my life. This is not something again you're going to see like long mane in 30 days, but this is going to set the groundwork to get you to that really healthy place. Your hair could look very different in 30 days, but continuing up with it past these 30 days is going to be very crucial for you to get that really long, luscious, sexy hair.
And the second foundational piece for your hair care routine is going to be scalp care. So, you're going to be doing scalp massages. You need to make sure you're doing hair oiling because we need to take care of the ends, but we also need to take care of the scalp because that's where our hair is growing from. So, scalp detoxing, which I always talk about, and scalp oiling. Again, the oils that you use for your hair depend on the porosity. Certain porosities cannot use certain oils because it causes more damage. So, make sure you're getting that first situated and then you can start building your routine.
Part of my weekly routine for getting my hair summer prepped is making sure I do not skip the heat protectant. It makes no sense to put all this effort into repairing hair damage and then repeating the damage by not using heat protectant. So, make sure that is definitely a part of your weekly routine. If and when you're using heat, my favorite right now is the IGK's Good Behavior Smoothing Spray because it's lightweight and non-greasy, which is perfect for summer. It's a heat-activated anti-frizz spray that provides up to 24 hours of frizz control and heat protection up to 450 Fahrenheit. The best part is it works on all hair types. So, no matter what hair you're working with, it's going to control that frizz, block that summer humidity, and make sure your once-a-week hot tool style lasts as long as you want, so you're not overdoing it with heat every single day. This spray is activated by heat styling tools. So, here I am using a flat iron to smooth everything down after my blow-drying, taking me from fuzzy and dull to sleek and shiny. Make sure to click the link in my description or scan the QR code on the screen to try IGK's smoothing spray and enjoy a special 25% discount using
My code Vikita 25. Now, daily, what you're going to do is every single night you are going to give yourself a five-minute scalp massage. You're going to oil the ends of your hair so you're protecting them from breakage.
Because what I was struggling with is I was doing the scalp massages. I was doing the hair oiling, but my hair wasn't growing. Why? Because if I've got all this dead hair, it's growing and then breaking off. Growing and breaking off. So, we have to do bond repair on our actual ends twice a week with our wash routine. But every single night, we need to be oiling the ends of our hair, the actual strands, to prevent the breakage. So that when the hair actually starts growing, it actually makes a difference and doesn't just snap off. So, hair oiling the ends every single night, scalp massage every single night for 5 minutes.
And thirdly, you're going to get a serum of some sort into the hair and massage it in. Not like a hair serum, sort of like the Kerastase Genesis serum that everyone raves about. I actually bought it and splurged on it and was like, I personally wouldn't recommend it for the price point that it's at. It really helped with preventing hair fallout, which was a huge issue of mine. But I found similar results using the Ordinary Multipeptide Hair Serum. There's a very different price point. But because everyone talked about the Kerastase, I was like, let me hop on. Let me try it for myself. I would get it. If I had that, you know, really big feeling of like, this is making such a big difference. I think there are other things that make bigger differences. So again, use your discretion. But it does work, but so does the Ordinary Multipeptide Hair Serum. So you're going to do something like that on your scalp. They're more water-based, so they're not going to leave your scalp greasy or oily where you have to wash it every single day. This is going to get you to the next wash, and your hair will still look fresh and nice using them every single night.
But those three things are non-negotiables. Non-negotiables. Do these things consistently, and your hair will thank you. I'm living proof. Whatever I tell you, I test out for myself first. I never just say things randomly because I feel like saying them. I've tested these things. These are things that have worked, and I am telling you, like my hair is very, very different than what it used to be. So yes, now that we've hit the external, you need to make sure you've also got the internal in check for your summer glow-up. So watch this video next.
