About

Hey Bestie, I'm Charenté

I'm a creator, storyteller, speaker, and lifelong learner who believes the glow-up is about far more than how we look. It is also about how we care for ourselves, use what we learn, tell the truth about our experiences, and give ourselves permission to grow.

Through beauty, lifestyle, wellness, travel, and honest conversations, I share what I am learning in real time. The Glow Up 888 is where all of those pieces come together so you can watch, explore, laugh, learn, and create your own version of the glow.

Watch the glow. Shop the glow. Live your version of it.

Her story

The Long Version

Beauty, Lifestyle and Everything Between

My work lives at the intersection of beauty, lifestyle, wellness, travel, media, personal growth, and honest conversation. Sometimes I am doing my nails while talking about life. Sometimes I am sharing a beauty routine, exploring a new place, breaking down something I have learned, or telling the truth about an experience that changed me. The subject may change, but the intention remains the same: to create something useful, joyful, and real.

What a Glow-Up Really Means

I believe a glow-up is not about becoming acceptable to other people. It is about becoming more connected to yourself. It can look like wearing the makeup, taking the trip, asking better questions, protecting your capacity, changing your mind, trying again, or recognizing that something no longer serves you. That is why I created The Glow Up 888 — a home for the shows, products, routines, stories, and resources that exist throughout my world.

Beauty With Humanity

You will find beauty here, but you will also find humanity. You will find recommendations, but never a demand that your journey look exactly like mine. I share what I have experienced, what I have learned, and what has worked for me so you can ask your own questions and make informed decisions for your life.
