Be (B)eautiful: Regardless of all the political BS that is behind the war, we need to support our troops. They really are American Heroes. If you haven’t seen this video (click here) yet, then you should just because of how beautiful it is. My ❤ goes out to all those who have loved ones serving our country right now.

Be (A)uthentic: I stumbled upon a really awesome accessory designer named Amina who makes all of her pieces handmade. Rockin’ a pair of her earrings will guarantee total uniqueness. Check out her shop here and her blog here!

Be (D)etermined: As a BAD girl you have to master the art of  “pretending you didn’t know something“. We have all had that friend who tells us a piece of juicy info or something someone told them not to mention to anyone else. As the bearer of this new top-secret info it is your job to 1.) keep your mouth shut, 2.) practice your surprised/OMG/concerned face for if/when the secret is told to you, and 3.) don’t let alcohol turn you into a blabber mouth, I know it happens, but it’s just not cool.
