If we’re going to discuss a topic, we need to discuss it truthfully. You can be absolutely beautiful, and not embody a baddie. A baddie has a certain aesthetic.

3/11 Edited to

... Read moreIn today's social media-driven culture, the term "baddie" is often thrown around without a clear understanding of what it truly means. It's easy to assume that being beautiful automatically makes someone a baddie, but the reality is much more nuanced. From my personal experience, embodying the baddie aesthetic involves a combination of confidence, style, and attitude. It's about how you present yourself—whether it be through bold makeup choices, fashionable outfit combinations, or the way you carry yourself. The essence is an unapologetic expression of individuality and self-assurance. What struck me as especially important is the honesty in conversations about this topic. As the image from the article states, "You guys are not being honest about the baddie conversation." This resonates because it prompts us to rethink superficial labels and dig deeper into what really defines this look and vibe. In practice, I've noticed that a baddie aesthetic often includes elements like sleek hairstyles, flawless makeup with sharp contouring, statement accessories, and an overall polished appearance. But the key ingredient is the mindset—the confidence to set trends rather than follow them. Understanding this helped me distinguish between just being pretty and truly embodying the baddie style. It's a lifestyle choice that blends beauty with boldness, making it a powerful form of self-expression. For anyone wanting to embrace this aesthetic, focusing on authenticity and developing your own style rather than mimicking others is essential. Ultimately, the baddie aesthetic is a celebration of honest self-expression and empowerment, something that goes beyond mere physical beauty and touches on attitude and presence.

my whole life i defined consistency as perfection. if i slipped up, missed a day, made a mistake, then in my head i “broke my streak” and had to start all over again (which is super discouraging) but consistency isn’t doing everything exactly right every day. it’s about showing up to the table -
