Arm at that awkward stretch, filter at the ready.

Thereโ€™s a lot going on in selfie mode. And donโ€™t even get me started on the selfie stick. Itโ€™s just dangerous. If I had arms, I would give you a personal lesson. Instead, Iโ€™ve called on my #frankcrush (above), Natasha Oakley from Bikini a Day to share some of her best tips.

Go-go gadget arms.

โ€œExtend your arm as far as you can, extreme close-ups can be a bit much. Find the easiest way to hold your phone and click the button so your hand doesnโ€™t shake and take a blurry picture.โ€

Light, right.

โ€œTry to have the light hitting your face, avoid direct/harsh sunlight and never have overly bright backgrounds that will wash out/pixelate the photo.โ€

Look into your BFFโ€™s eyes.

โ€œWhen itโ€™s just yourself in the photo you can get creative with the composition, however when there is more than one person in the shot, try to have each personโ€™s eyes at the same level and put your heads together (even if it feels a bit awkward).โ€

Stay classy.

โ€œKeep your tongue in your mouth, and the photo should only include a tasteful and classy amount of cleavage, if any, we want to see mostly your beautiful face.โ€

I love selfies, especially ones where I can get involved. Thatโ€™s why I created The Grind High Club: four mini coffee scrubs to travel the four corners of the globe or the four corners of your bathroom. Donโ€™t forget to send them my way on Insta with #thefrankeffect.
