Julia Montes

"You go on a beauty journey because it’s great for your well-being. It makes you happy, and it makes you confident. It makes you ready to take on the world, empowers you, and enables you to make it."

"Your weight doesn’t always reflect your actual progress, especially if you’re doing strength training. You might even gain weight as you build muscle, that’s the tendency. So when you step on the scale and see the numbers go up, you get discouraged and think, "This isn’t working. I might as well stop." It’s better to set a goal like fitting into a dress and saying, "I want to finally wear this.""

"Waking up early helps me get so much done. It’s hard at first, but once you get used to it, it really makes a difference."
