Day in the Life of Glinda
Fellow Ozians, let us rejoicify in the good news that I have decided to live a day in the life of the most popular girl in school, Galinda! I plan to visit the most swankafied places in the city, practice the many rules of popularity, and dance my way through life! Now, as we can’t all come and go by bubble, let us venture into the land of New York City together and have a celebration the Glinda way! Make sure to watch my YouTube video as Glinda for even more magic!
Glinda’s Popular Morning Routine
Self-Care
Glinda is all about taking care of herself, so I started my morning with self-care. I used my ice roller to depuff my face, put on rose gold eye masks, and listened to my Glinda Spotify Playlist to get into the popular mindset. While it was a gloomy day in the city, I knew Glinda would bring the sparkle to any rainy day, so I wasn't going to let the weather bring me down!
Makeup and Hair
Girl. Glinda is all about that sparkle and razzle-dazzle, so I knew I had to bring it with my hair and makeup. I brought out my heat rollers to give my hair a voluminous look, and I used the most pink and sparkly eyeshadow I could find! While doing my makeup, I heard the movie soundtrack of Wicked for the first time, and I was blown away! Ariana Grande really did my girl Glinda justice!
Morning Pick-Me-Up
We all know Glinda is peppy and energetic, so I needed to get some coffee in my system to match her energy levels. First, I ordered Glinda's Pink Potion, as Starbucks did a special collaboration for the film. Then, I got myself an iced coffee, but to Galinda-fy it, I added pink foam on top! Both of these drinks were delicious and made me energized for the day ahead!
Outfit of the Day
The original outfit I had planned to wear was not going to cut it for the New York winter weather. So, I found this adorable pink set from Revolve and a pink peacoat from Amazon! This look was inspired by the outfit Glinda wears when she arrives at Shiz University and meets her roommate, Elphaba. I was obsessed with this set, and I really think it captured what Glinda would wear in NYC!
Swankafied Afternoon Activities
Wicked Shopping
To start my afternoon as Glinda, I knew I had to go shopping! Bloomingdales had a special Wicked section that featured a ton of the different collaborations brands did for the movie, and I wanted to buy it all. After shopping around, I went over to Ulta to see all of the beauty goods released for the movie, and let me tell you, so many things made their way onto my Christmas list!
Drinks with Friends
Glinda is a social butterfly, so I made sure to carve out some time with my friends. We decided to get drinks at Sveta because their cocktails come in handbag glasses! Normally, the entire restaurant is decked out in pink, but it was already decorated for Christmas, which meant red and green everywhere. While the decor wouldn't be Glinda-approved, she would have LOVED the drinks!
More Shopping
To get back into the pink mindset, the girls and I went to a store called Colorful Natalie, and it was everything we needed! They have such adorable items there, and I wanted to take everything with a bow on it home with me! Afterward, we went and got dinner at While We Were Young, where I got a pink cocktail and truffle fries.
A Pink Dessert
Glinda is definitely a treat-yourself woman, so I went to Sprinkles to get myself a cupcake! Sprinkles did a cupcake collaboration for the Wicked movie, and while they were sold out of Elphaba's cupcake, I was able to get their Glinda one. It was pink and delicious and everything I could have wanted in a sweet treat!
Magical Evening
Wicked Time
What better way to end the day as Glinda than by seeing Wicked?! Will and I went to see the movie super late at night, but it was SO worth it. Literally, as soon as I left the theater, I was already planning on seeing it again. From the songs to the sets, everything felt magical, and Oz truly came alive on screen!
I had THE best time spending the day as the pink icon, Glinda! Make sure to check out my other Day in the Life videos and comment who you want me to be next!
