Instagram, TikTok, and social media in general are the major advocates of baddie aesthetics. As such, learning how to strike a pose for a photo or how to talk on camera is another essential step in becoming a baddie.

Here are some posture principles that you should be practicing:

  • Find your angles: Experiment with different angles to find your best side and the most flattering poses for your body.

By now, you’re thinking, “Damn, this is so hard!” Well, being a girl is so hard in the first place. And if you take it as a burden, you won’t live a happy life. You need to embrace it.

 The next crucial step is to work on your room. As you can guess, a room for a baddie and a nerd can’t look the same.

Install some LED pink lights in your bedroom, add some lettered neon lights to add personality, and declutter your room to create space. You can also follow the home décor best practices that I advocate on this blog.

This is totally optional. If you’re okay with getting inked, you need to be so choosy. Don’t just litter your beautiful body with symbols and useless marks.

You can opt for minimalist tats like spine tattoos for women and lower back tattoos. To avoid hurtful experiences with tats, you need to have them inked in areas further from nerves and bones like the buttocks, biceps, breast, or thigh.
