Shadowing Practice: 20 Things Every Girl Should Know By 20 GRWM - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hello everyone, I am very excited because today we're going to be getting ready together.

We're going to do a little girly glam and this video is for the girls.

I'm going to be giving you ladies some advice

that I wish I knew when I was younger or things that I kind of had to learn the hard way.

I feel like it's been a while since I've done like a chit chat.

Get ready with me, so I'm really excited.

I've picked 20 things for the ladies into 20 or above 20 or anywhere in between.

You know, this advice can come at any age, which is the best part about it.

But yeah, I just wanted to share some things as a lady to the ladies that I wish I freaking knew.

That would have saved me a lot of trouble and heartbreak.

But anyways, this is going to be super fun.

Number one, SPF is non-negotiable.

Now, I'm very lucky.

My mom kind of instilled this into me when I was younger.

And when I was at school, I wore SPF every day.

But I didn't even know.

It was actually because my mom got me a daily moisturizer that had SPF in it.

Honestly, even when I was younger, I was really against SPF because it leaves such a nasty smell and it's thick.

It doesn't look good with makeup and it can affect the way that makeup applies.

We're very lucky because products have come a long way

and it's very easy to get SPF into your routine without feeling like you have a ton of sunscreen on your face.

So for me personally, I actually like to use moisturizers that have sunscreen already in them.

Because then I don't have to like apply sunscreen separately.

I know, I'm high maintenance you guys.

Or even this primer that I've used today has SPF 50 in it.

So it's really easy to get your SPF 50 plus into your face routine.

It's very important you guys.

It will keep you from those H spots.

Number two, how you speak about yourself matters.

I feel like especially when you're younger, it's very easy to get into that negative mindset.

Especially when you're surrounded by negativity.

Bullying is very prevalent in school and thoughts can get to your head.

But when I tell you, honestly, one of the most important things that I have learned as I've grown up, especially like through my YouTube career, it's all about like glowing up and everything, you know?

I personally feel like one of the things

that has transformed me as a whole is the way that I talk about myself.

The mind and the mouth are both very powerful

and what you speak usually happens

because what you put out into the universe you can easily manifest even if you aren't thinking about that.

It's so easy to even speak negativity and then negative things happen.

So when things go wrong or when you're feeling bad about yourself, it's amazing and it's so helpful to speak positively like it makes such a difference

and I know like it's hard to think that even

if you don't necessarily feel it at the start

if you speak positively about yourself

and you believe in yourself your whole life will change

and you'll start to believe it and therefore everyone else will start to believe it

so be insane number three and this one it might be a little controversial

but looking put together is mostly grooming, not genetics.

I know it sounds crazy,

but I'm telling you, have you ever seen those like haircut transformations and somebody you wouldn't look twice at gets a full,

like just a haircut, like a makeover and they look completely different.

It gives them so much confidence.

I'm telling you, even like a change of style.

I know sometimes I'll be at a venue

and I'll see a man in a suit and I've never seen him in a suit before.

And it's just like, wow, I didn't know you had that in you.

You know what I mean?

So I feel like dressing and grooming to your best potential makes such a difference.

And I'm telling you guys this because I do this.

If I didn't have my brows done, if I didn't get haircuts every two months, if I didn't get my nails done, do you know how crusty I would be?

And of course, beauty comes from within.

Number four, learn how to say no without explaining yourself.

This is surprisingly easy for a lot of people.

I am not one of those people.

I have let many many many many many many many people walk all over me

because I do not have the self-confidence

or the strength to step up for myself against certain people

but it's so important to be your own number one fan and

if you think about who you admire the most in life

you would get a war for them you know what I mean

so why wouldn't you go to war for yourself

and it's okay to turn things down even when you feel extremely uncomfortable

and what helps me say no

when i'm feeling uncomfortable about saying no is thinking about how everything passes this moment is just right now and

if i say yes to something i don't want to do

i'm going to make my future a lot harder for myself

so if i just gather the courage and stick up for myself

and say no in the moment then my future self is gonna go through a lot less pain

and stress or whatever it can be daunting

but you know what saying no is very strong like i feel like a lot of people are admired

because of their ability to say no and stick up for what they want.

I feel like growing up I really struggled to say no but I have slowly learned that skill as I've gotten older.

So don't be afraid if you don't feel ready yet but it will come to you I'm telling you.

Number five, not everyone deserves access to you.

I used to very much be more of an open book

but with time and through experience I realized that it is better to be a close book and to keep things yourself.

I personally, I love sharing things about my life.

I love giving people all of the information that's inside my head.

I'm an oversharer and I've really had to stop that.

But ever since I've stopped oversharing everything, my life has become so much more peaceful.

The evil eye is real, you guys.

I have an evil eye bracelet to protect me.

Thank you to Brandy and the Brandy's family.

And I know not everyone believes in this, but it is a symbol of self-protection.

Your mind, your body, everything about your life should be treated as sacred to you.

And not everyone needs to know your business.

Not everyone needs to know your business, period.

The less they know, the better.

Number six, the way you treat yourself teaches others how to treat you.

Again, I unfortunately wasn't born with this confidence

100

and you know i feel like at times in my life

101

i have not been the nicest to myself i've been insecure i felt desperate

102

and you know unfortunately when you have

103

that mindset towards yourself other people whether it's intentional or not think

104

that it's okay to treat you in a negative way this

105

tip is honestly very similar to how you speak about yourself

106

really matters unfortunately in situations like this human behavior is very contagious i feel like

107

when i I hang out with certain people I copy their mannerisms

108

and I copy the way they speak it just happens it's natural have you ever noticed

109

that you act different around certain friends

110

or certain friends will act a certain way around this person

111

but with you they seem completely different that's just the way life goes you know that's how people are

112

and again it might not be intentional

113

if you treat yourself with the utmost respect and you have boundaries and you have morals no one's gonna across you, I'm telling you.

114

But if you have your walls down, if you are vulnerable, people are going to take advantage of you.

115

So it's really important to treat yourself with the utmost respect and then you will receive that respect from others.

116

Number seven, learn your colors.

117

Now I could have saved myself from a lot of unflattering outfits

118

that I've worn if I was just a little bit more mindful about the colors that I chose to wear.

119

I feel like this is not something I really learned about myself until recently

120

but in all honesty you don't need a whole color analysis

121

you can figure it out i feel like one of the best ways is to have someone

122

that you feel like has a good opinion

123

and in the mirror with this person hold up certain colors of items of clothings

124

that you have and kind of decide what is flattering what isn't flattering

125

and something i've had to learn is just

126

because an item of clothing is beautiful

127

if it's in the wrong color it's not it's not gonna flatter you honestly

128

if If you are struggling and you don't have someone else that you can ask for their opinion, take pictures of yourself in certain items of clothing in the same lighting.

129

It's a lot easier to tell when you look at everything at once.

130

Scroll through the pictures with the same lighting

131

and it'll be clear as day what colors look good on you and what colors do not look good.

132

Number eight, teeth matter.

133

Now, unfortunately, not everyone has access to dentists or teeth care, but I think the minimum that is very important to do every day is brush morning

134

and night and if you can to floss.

135

Flossing makes a huge, huge, huge, huge, huge difference.

136

More than you would think.

137

You don't need to have the straightest teeth.

138

I think just the most important thing about teeth matters is cleanliness and hygiene.

139

Even if you're, I don't know, throughout the day drinking coffee or something and you're insecure about your breath, carry around some gum or some mouthwash with you.

140

I would say one of the most important things you can do every day is to brush your teeth

141

and have great oral hygiene.

142

Number nine, everyone has angles.

143

It has taken me a long time to learn my angles, but I've had lots of practice.

144

I grew up taking photos with my friends and stuff and through trial and error, I learned what positions I look good in.

145

So, you know, I'm very blessed because a lot of times people take photos of me and be like, oh my God, you're so photogenic.

146

Years of practice, baby.

147

I literally have been taking photos with my girls for years so when

148

that camera comes out i'm instant you know what i think

149

it's super easy to just even practice in front of a mirror or

150

if you're like embarrassed to take photos in front of people

151

before you know you're going to be in a setting where you're taking photos maybe have like the outfit on

152

or whatever know how you're going to look in that moment

153

and at home set up your phone on like a tripod

154

or on a table and kind of take a video doing different poses

155

and then scroll through the video and pause where you look best

156

and then learn those poses and you'll be a professional baby

157

or even if you don't know how to pose get people to take photos of you on burst mode

158

because then it's like a bajillion photos

159

so you can literally just like walk around or just stand there awkwardly or whatever

160

and there will be one frame i'm telling you in a

161

burst photo you'll get something number 10 you don't need closure

162

from everyone you know it can be hard to hear

163

that especially you know i'm a very emotional girly

164

and that's life relationships friendships things just end

165

and sometimes people don't always give you an answer

166

but the last thing you will ever do is beg for

167

closure you do not need closure you do not need closure okay you have more self-worth than

168

that you believe in yourself and your values and your morals and you don't need be begging on the pavement.

169

Sometimes it can make situations harder to get over if you don't have closure, but take not having closure as an answer.

170

You don't always need one, okay?

171

Number 11, half of looking good is good lighting.

172

Now, unfortunately, I'm in winter in Australia, so the lighting is not the best right now, so I'm sorry.

173

I'm sorry.

174

But the amount of times I have gotten ready at home

175

and then felt the best I've ever felt about myself

176

and then left the house and caught myself in a mirror in real life has, and I have felt disgusting.

177

I've felt horrible.

178

It's changed my whole mood.

179

I'm telling you, lighting is everything.

180

I'm very lucky.

181

I have great lighting in my house.

182

I made sure I have a car with great lighting

183

because I know through a lot of trial and error

184

that lighting is everything you can look the best you've ever looked

185

but if you have downward lighting

186

and you're trying to take a selfie you're gonna look crazy you need good lighting to look

187

and feel your best some tips for lighting is always pose

188

towards the sun i know you people with light eyes can kind of struggle with

189

that i know my mom sometimes when i was like growing up taking my selfies i'd be directly like facing the sun, she'd be like, how?

190

Because my mom has green eyes.

191

She would be, she wouldn't understand how I could do it.

192

That's a blessing of brown eyes.

193

You can stare at the sun.

194

Don't stare at the sun.

195

You don't need any special light stands or anything.

196

The best lighting in my opinion is natural lighting.

197

But again, I've kind of bit myself in the ass with that one today, because I have natural lighting and it's dark as hell.

198

Thank you, Melbourne winter.

199

Number 12, embarrassment isn't real.

200

You tell me how many nights you've wasted in bed,

201

stressing and cringing and just like thinking about situations or things that have happened and you're just so mortified, so embarrassed.

202

You don't need to be.

203

And I know it's easier said than done, but if you believe embarrassment isn't real, then it's not.

204

Like embarrassment is an opinion and a belief about yourself.

205

You can feel cringe about certain situations, but like just let it go.

206

I assure you 99% of the time you're overthinking it and it's a lot less embarrassing than you perceive it as.

207

Let it come to your mind, feel it, and then just let it go, let it go.

208

It's not real.

209

Number 13, a clean environment impacts everything.

210

I completely understand that your environment isn't always in your control.

211

You know, family members can be messy or dirty or, you know, if you live with other people,

212

it can be really hard to control your environment, even controlling yourself.

213

I would say I grew up definitely as a messy person, but with age and with lessons from the people around me,

214

I've honestly learned that being clean and taking care of my things makes a very, very large impact.

215

It's the same thing as like if you have respect for yourself, you have respect for the things that you own and for other people's things and other people's spaces.

216

So now I used to not be like this, but now I try to be as clean as I can.

217

I try to keep everything tidy.

218

Everything has its place.

219

It's very easy to become a messy girl.

220

Okay, I am a messy girl a lot of the time.

221

But to have the mindset

222

and to have the goal at least of trying to make your environment clean makes such a huge difference.

223

I can't tell you enough.

224

Number 14, you are what you eat.

225

This is something again that I did not learn until recently and people would say it to me all the time.

226

I heard this saying a lot growing up.

227

You are what you eat.

228

So what if I eat a chicken, I'm a chicken.

229

Like I genuinely, I didn't understand it.

230

But I will explain it for you guys because it's really made a lot of sense to me.

231

If you eat foods that are bad for you, if you eat McDonald's every day, you will not feel good.

232

What you put into your body will start to reflect on your outside.

233

It will start to reflect in your energy levels and your skin

234

and your hair and everything about your body is reflective and based on the food that you eat.

235

If you eat good food, if you eat healthy, if you eat whole foods, if you don't eat what you are allergic to, if you eat the foods that you know you aren't reacting to negatively,

236

you will start to sleep better.

237

Your hair will grow longer.

238

Your skin will shine.

239

You will be less bloated, less puffy.

240

You will have less acne.

241

Like eating good, unfortunately, I know it's so unfortunate.

242

Unfortunately, it's the answer to a lot of health problems and physical beauty problems as well.

243

For me personally, I find a lot of comfort in food.

244

So I love to eat.

245

Oh my God.

246

I love to eat like the worst food for me possible.

247

I love junk food.

248

I love lollies.

249

I love chocolate.

250

Like I love it.

251

I love desserts.

252

It makes my mouth water and I would eat that at every meal if I could.

253

However, I have realized that makes me feel horrible.

254

I know how it feels to be on the other side of the screen and to hear someone say, if you eat well, you're going to feel well.

255

Just like, yeah, whatever.

256

Because I felt like that for the majority of my life.

257

But I'm telling you, you guys, I only feel good these days if I eat well, which is really unfortunate because I want to eat like shit.

258

But that is the truth.

259

You are what you eat.

260

Number 15.

261

Your future self is built from the habits you have now.

262

I would say in this particular point, I have a lot of experience, you know.

263

You guys don't know everything about my life, but it is very important.

264

Again, I feel like this ties into like being your own number one supporter, believing in yourself, that whole realm.

265

But what you do in the current moment sets you up in the future.

266

For example, and I am a victim of this because I do this all the time to myself.

267

If you want to like work out and get a great summer bar or whatever, you want to eat well and you want to work out.

268

But then you like kind of give up after three weeks.

269

Time passes.

270

Time is going to pass regardless.

271

So if you just like push yourself

272

and do what you want to do Sometimes being in the present

273

and like going through struggle is very difficult But to remember

274

that everything passes You're eventually going to get to where you want to be

275

That is the best motivation ever So whenever I am personally struggling

276

Or if I don't want to do things

277

but I know I'm going to be happy about it in

278

the end You just have to really envision yourself in

279

that moment Where everything goes right

280

And you know this thing can be in regards to a

281

lot of things Your future self is built off the habits you have now that can be in regards to health, that can be in regards to wealth, that can be in regards to literally anything.

282

The work and the efforts that you put in now is gonna determine what your future looks like majority of the time.

283

Number 16, confidence is more attractive than perfection.

284

You know what?

285

Beauty and perfection is all subjective.

286

Not everyone has the same opinions and what you look like isn't the be all end all.

287

I think something I've learned throughout my life, oftentimes the most popular or the most liked person in the room is the most confident.

288

And I'm sure that person has a lot of the values that I've been speaking about in this video.

289

They believe in themselves and they're unafraid to be themselves, you know?

290

Being around someone that is confident is so exciting and it's so intriguing.

291

And I don't mean like cockiness, like being like, oh my God, yeah, I'm the best.

292

I think just believing in yourself and again, self-respect is huge.

293

Number 17, keep your success to yourself.

294

This kind of relates to the other point that I made earlier.

295

Not everyone needs to know everything, but

296

Especially your successes keep them to yourself again I'm an overshare

297

and when like you can share your success Just be careful about who you share it to

298

and what you share about your success You don't need to

299

share every detail how you got there the location You don't need to do

300

that because unfortunately even the closest people to you can become envious

301

and it's not their fault It's very easy as human nature, you know, sometimes it happens.

302

That doesn't mean don't go sharing all of your achievements.

303

Just be aware when you're doing it.

304

And often it could be a telltale sign of who is a true friend

305

and who is not when you do share your achievements and your successes.

306

18. Most people are too focused on themselves to notice your insecurities.

307

Which is very hard to believe because, again, And I have spent so many sleepless nights worrying about what other people thought of me or how people perceive me.

308

You know, I feel like I've kind of gotten over the whole perception thing

309

because my job is to be perceived online every day.

310

And a lot of people's opinions come from self insecurities.

311

So if you're feeling bad about yourself one day and really insecure and you feel like everyone's judging you, chances are they're feeling the same about themselves.

312

Even if you think someone, like someone could be the most beautiful person in the room and they still have insecurities, you know?

313

So just be less harsh on yourself.

314

19. Take mixed signals as a no because the right person will make it clear.

315

Now this can be in regards to any situation.

316

This can be in regards to maybe a crush you have on a guy and you're unsure if he likes you back.

317

If you're unsure and he's not making it clear, take it as a no. Take it as a no. Don't waste your time.

318

Your time is precious because you know sometimes if it's like a friendship

319

and it's another lady it's kind of hard to it's hard to tell mixed signals are very difficult

320

but majority of the time people are giving mixed signals

321

because they don't want to tell the truth

322

or they don't know for themselves they're not ready

323

or you know that's their own issue mixed signals is not your problem

324

so it will save yourself a lot of time a lot of disappointment a lot of heartache etc

325

if you take mixed signals or someone being uncertain as a no and to just move on.

326

It's harder than it seems, but you know, we're our own best friend and we have to believe in ourselves and be stern and set boundaries.

327

Don't let anyone walk all over you.

328

Makeup is done and we are up to number 20, which I've saved till last because this is something that I believe in the most.

329

And again, it's a very controversial take, but I will stand by this rule.

330

I will stand by it and you guys will too.

331

Being selfish isn't actually a bad thing.

332

The moment that I started being actually selfish, my life changed for the better, you know?

333

This is your life.

334

You get one life and you need to put yourself first.

335

That doesn't mean being a horrible person.

336

I feel like being selfish is looked at so negatively, but you can also be selfless whilst being selfish.

337

You can give to others.

338

You can spend time with others.

339

You can have empathy.

340

You can have feelings.

341

Being selfish does not deny anything else.

342

Being selfish just means putting yourself first, believing in yourself, being your own best friend and your own biggest fan.

343

I honestly believe everyone should put themselves first.

344

How you feel in a situation really matters.

345

And yeah, I just think in any situation, it is extremely, extremely important and extremely emotionally intelligent

346

if you are able to look at situations from multiple perspectives

347

and to be able to understand other people's selfishness and the reason why they do things.

348

But again, being selfish It doesn't have to be negative.

349

You can be selfish in very positive ways.

350

And a lot of the time, a lot of successful people are selfish.

351

And it's because they grind.

352

They put themselves first.

353

They want to be the best versions of themselves.

354

So that's the biggest tip I can give to you girlies. Be selfish.

355

Especially if it's with me.

356

I'm joking.

357

But put yourself first. Be selfish.

358

Love yourself.

359

I feel like that's what this video is honestly all about.

360

And it's important to constantly reinstate these things.

361

It's not a bad thing.

362

A lot of people look at it as a negative thing, but I feel so good about my life.

363

I'm surrounded by amazing people because I respect myself.

364

I have amazing relationships.

365

I just, I am so blessed because as I've grown, I've gone through a lot of situations and I wanted to share my tips

366

and tricks with you on how to navigate life as a woman.

367

Being a lady is not easy.

368

So I hope you guys appreciate my advice

369

because I wish I had my older self to tell my younger self some of these things.

370

And I love you guys so much.

371

She means so much to me.

372

And I just want you all to have the best lives and to believe in yourself and to love yourself.

373

So yeah, this is my glam.

374

And I love you guys so much.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
