How to Be a Baddie (Series)

Baddies: what are they exactly? Well, there is no Oxford Dictionary term for these kinds of people exactly. However, many hours on Instagram and Pinterest have basically given me answer: a baddie is a girl with an amazing body, glamorous wardrobe, and no-nonsense attitude. They’re the girls on Instagram who post themselves lip-syncing to Drake on their profile story. The girl who takes cute mirror selfies with their iPhone X in their Nike Airs. The curvy girl at the gym with the 20-odd inch waist and round butt. You are most likely familiar with them, whether you follow them yourself or they showed up on explore page at some point. I can also guarantee that you’ve probably thought these things when seeing them as well: “Wow, she’s cute. I wish I could afford that phone,” “OMG, I LOVE her makeup! Wish I was that good at doing my own eyebrows,” “Look at her body! If only mine looked like that.”

Good news, friends: it’s totally possible! Anybody can be a baddie, regardless of race, height, even body type. After my research via Likes and Pins, I’m here to share the basic rules and tips to being a baddie. Whether you want to get it right for the new year or get that body by summer, get ready to take notes on how to glo up like a pro!

Follow this series and study these tips so you can stunt on your haters and look good while doing it!💋

1. It’s a physical and mental transformation.

I could simply tell you to eat right and exercise and send you on your merry way. However, I learned that becoming a baddie is much more than that. You’re basically becoming a new you and that means not only changing what you put in your stomach, but what you put in your mind and heart as well. Here are some tips to help you change yourself inwardly:

Cut off negative people.

This pretty much goes without saying, but you will not believe how much this will matter in the long run. Friends that don’t support you and only bring negative vibes, family members that aren’t very supportive, a significant other that’s never there for you. ANYONE!! Delete their phone number, unfollow them, and say goodbye! Baddies give off positive vibes, therefore they attract positive vibes. It doesn’t matter how good they were to you in the past because that's over. Holding on to it is practically unhealthy. It’s hard now, but trust me in saying that you will thank yourself later.

Have patience.

In today’s world, it’s often hard to actually sit back and take in everything, isn’t it? High-tech cars, bluetooth phone calls, phones that scan our faces, everything is designed for fast; this can be good when you think about it, but amazing things take time to process and develop, yourself included. Do you think the iPhone Face Scan feature was created overnight? No, of course not. Scientists and engineers needed time to develop the software, put it into the device and have people test it to make sure it worked. The same goes with you and your transformation. You’re not going to get that banging body overnight and those $150 Nike's most definitely won’t appear on your feet if you simply wish for them. You have to go to the gym, get a job to invest in those shoes, work until you get there. Being a baddie, like other things, takes time and I promise you will get frustrated. But after it’s all over and you reach your goal it’ll almost be too good to stop!

It’s all about you!

Maybe you want to transform yourself to prove somebody wrong. May someone commented on your weight and you want to hit the gym just to see their jaws hit the floor. Maybe you told your ex that they won’t find anyone better and you changing yourself is your way to prove that. I understand your intentions, but let me ask you this: who’s going to be by your side at the end of it all? Who’s going to tell you, “This is how you’re going to be and here’s what’s going to happen?” It’s you. It’s all about you. As selfish as it may sound, a big part about being a baddie is catering to yourself and focusing on your needs. They don’t make money for anyone, but them. They don’t get fit and eat right for nobody, but them. This is all because they learned one of the most important life tips anybody could know: nobody’s looking out for them, but them. It’s okay to have friends and lovers, but always make sure to put yourself first and don’t change for anyone except yourself!
