“ You don’t have to be a model to look like, one; you just need the confidence.”
— Hoodspice
Now I know what many of you are thinking, you probably think you need to lose weight, get a makeover, or “Glo-up,” but you really don’t; you just need to be the best you present that, that’s it.
-Sincerely a Model (not a model) or at least for now.😉✨
Skin!
I’m sure we all know beauty starts from the inside out, so you should probably start by digesting things that make your skin glow, as well as taking the proper nutrients, vitamins, and supplements. Yes, you can still pig out and eat junk food as well, but limit the intake. No, this isn’t dieting advice, because I’m not a nutritionist! I’ve never had anybody or weight issues, so just a warning is not what this is about so that you know. But vitamin C, Sea moss, and the consumption of lots of green vegetables as well as drinking water will definitely do the trick. When you show up for your insides, your insides show up for you—this recombination with a consistent skincare routine, chefs kiss. We won’t be covering skincare here; that is worth its own separate post.
Developing your talents, and skills
A really great way to develop your model like confidence is is to invest in your talents that you’re happy and passionate about. Things that make you. Just think, “ What was it that I wanted to do the most as a child” and start delving into and developing that. Developing new skills, hobbies, interests, and talents and cultivating them will help you develop son much internal pride and confidence. You won’t even have time to start ripping into yourself or making yourself feel less than; that will officially be a thing of the past.
Just make sure it’s something you genuinely want to do. Something that genuinely interests you and something you actually want to do. Not for the sake of looking better or getting confidence, but because you’re interested in said activity or interest. When you’re really passionate about your extracurricular activities, your belief in yourself begins to develop organically……and that’s the point. When you find a hobby/ discover new interests, you unlock a new level of yourself, which will provide you with the confidence you might feel you lack, you’ll develop organically.
Experiment 🧪 🧫 🔬 !
When I say experiment, I don’t mean you have to be a mad scientist creating wild concoctions in lab and stuff, but let’s take that concept and apply it to our exterior. Try a new hairstyle, try a new color, switch up your fashions. When it comes to the Entertainment Industry, models, actors, musicians, and singers always define their era by a particular look and constantly constructing and deconstructing their looks to their own desire. Innovation, rebirth, and revamping your appearance as many times as you feel you need to until you find something that works for you. Playing with fashion, makeup, looks, accessories, cuts, designs, prints, and whatever vibe you want to encompass will definitely help you develop the chameleon-like confidence of a model. The ability to not shy away from looking different, grabbing attention, and centering it on yourself in whatever way is authentic to you will indeed positively reinforce the confidence you have in yourself.
Focus On The Focal Point…..You.
It is so easy to get caught up in this world full of distractions at any age, especially if you're in the 17-30-year-old age bracket. In moments where you forget who, you are what you love, your purpose, take some moments of stillness, remember who you are and what you want out of your life…… then get it. Focus on who you are and what you are passionate about, where you see yourself, and work for it, and I promise you you’ll get there.
For example, it is so easy for me; a twenty-something get caught up in the prose of whose doing what, who likes who, who likes me, why don’t I have this or have that. It’s easy to get caught up wishing you want someone’s life, not even considering the demons and the struggles that person deals with behind closed doors. So it always never fails to feel good to remind me of what makes me passionate about who I am and whatever interests accompany that. For example, when I get to into my head and overthink myself into an emotionally depressive spiral, I think of the very niche things that brought me joy growing, such as my passion for pop culture nostalgia, in music, movies, fashion, or my exact niche interests in manga fashions, or how I’m hyper obsessed with animation, toy design and merchandising. It’s always good to take those moments of stillness when the world has been turned upside down like it currently is right now.
“You don’t need to have the latest and greatest to have model confidence because you are the lastest and the greatest….so act like it.”

Tag! You’re IT! No But Forreal You Really Are.
Head up, chest out, back straight! I don’t care if your he, she, them, they, you need to act like your somebody, Be That N*gga, That B*tch, That boy, That Girl, That Them, or That They. Walking around here thinking you're not important isn’t really doing anything for anyone, especially your sense of self. Will you lose people because you think you’re all that? That’s probably not your problem; you need to believe you important deserve the best of the best of what this world has to offer. “You think you’re better than everyone? huh?”:" “Yeah, what about it.” Someone will always try to project how they feel less than < about themselves onto someone who feels greater than > but what that doesn’t equal = is your problem.always try to I know playing into trite model cliche model stereotypes of grandiosity is an issue or has been made one in the industry. Still, honestly, I can tell nothing feels better than really knowing your real power, whatever that may look like for you. Whether it comes from your looks, personality, or what you’ve been through, life is too short to walk around here with your head held down. I would never tell anyone “fake it till you make it” advice because why fake it when you can develop it organically, which then makes it real. I’m not saying be self-righteous and treat people like sh!t, but you should be able to walk around knowing that you’re invaluable, indispensable, and irreplaceable and that no one can be you………because it’s the truth.
Suppose you do that all with killer posture and runway walk, the better. Doing these things will help your confidence translate into photographs, pics, and photoshoots; modeling is something you plan on pursuing… trust me on this.
Last but not least, whatever you do bring an element of you to it.
1. Skin: Try to make it look its best from the inside out.
2. Develop your passions: Like what you love, love what you like, and develop it.
3. Experiment: Never be afraid of trying something new.
4. Focus: Focus on you solely and what you want for YOU.
5. Tag, You’re It: Time to shed all insecurity and embrace that you are IT.
