Question 1

What is the 1975 beauty book Lucy Akao is reading?

Accepted Answer

It’s a year-long beauty and lifestyle book written in 1975 that goes from January to December. The whole idea is that each month has a checklist of habits to help you become more confident and take better care of yourself. I’m using it as a guide and testing it in real life, month by month.

Question 2

What does the book say to do in January for beauty and confidence?

Accepted Answer

January starts with structure: write your goals in a diary, track what you want to improve, and build a simple daily routine. The checklist includes morning journaling, stretching, washing your face with warm water, keeping up with hair and light makeup, and an evening routine with relaxation exercises, skincare, and moisturizing your whole body. It also includes weekly conditioning and face masks, plus posture work.

Question 3

Why does Lucy Akao say beauty trends existed before TikTok?

Accepted Answer

Because when I opened this book, I realized so many “modern” lifestyle and beauty ideas were already written down decades ago. The routines, the tracking, the monthly resets—none of that started online. Social media just repackages it and makes it look new.

Question 4

How do you set beauty goals for the year like Lucy Akao suggests?

Accepted Answer

I’m literally writing them the same way people write money or travel goals—just more honestly. I write down hair, skin, posture, nails, weight or toning goals, and what bothers me most so I can address it. The point is to stop pretending beauty goals don’t count when they clearly affect confidence.

Question 5

What items do you need to follow the book’s routine?

Accepted Answer

The book lists items for the bath, bedroom, and kitchen, plus hair tools and food items. I didn’t buy everything—I wrote a notepad list and only picked what I already had or could realistically get. I’m reusing the same basics across the year instead of constantly shopping.

Question 6

Does Lucy Akao recommend weighing yourself daily?

Accepted Answer

The book suggests weighing yourself at the same time every morning to track fluctuations. I shared that I personally don’t like keeping a scale in my house because I’ll overdo it and it’ll drive me insane. So I’m taking the principle (tracking) but adapting it to what’s healthy for me.

Question 7

What is the 36-hour fasting program mentioned in the January section?

Accepted Answer

The book mentions a 36-hour fasting program as part of giving your digestive system a rest, basically a monthly detox-style reset. I’m treating it as guidance, not a rule, and I’ll be honest about what I actually follow when I do the end-of-month review. The whole series is about testing, not blindly obeying.

Question 8

Will Lucy Akao continue this as a monthly series?

Accepted Answer

Yes—this is set up as a January-to-December series. My plan is two videos per month: one at the start explaining the checklist, and one at the end reviewing what I did and how I feel. Then we move into the next month and repeat.
