glowing
Softly giving off
Glowing describes something that emits light or warmth, especially with a soft, steady radiance: glowing embers, a glowing screen in the dark.
Extended to people, it suggests health, happiness, or inner warmth: She was glowing after the workout, a glowing bride.
Figuratively, glowing describes enthusiastic praise: The film received glowing reviews.
