It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single girl in possession of Instagram has a stack of amazing photo's ready for the feed, but can't use them due to an ex's presence.
Well, Baylee Woodward just came up with the best ex-hack you have even seen.
19 year-old Baylee got a job working on a yacht and has spent the last 12 months traveling to 12 countries, mostly in the Caribbean.
Not jealous, definitely not jealous at all.
She went alongside her boyfriend (who was technically her boss on the yacht) and then he dump/fired her. She told Buzzfeed, 'The breakup was rough because he was my travel partner for a year, we were together literally 24/7, and then he just fired me out of nowhere.'
To add insult to injury, he was in all her snaps. Every. Single. One.
Baylee decided to make some 'improvements' to the pictures so she could, 'look back at pictures and laugh at this whole situation.'
I wanted to post a throwback picture from one of the trips but the best ones are with him in it, I couldn't crop him out and blurring him would be ugly, so I was like, 'I'll just put someone else's face on it.' And when you think 'hot young guy' you think Zac Efron.
Sounds about right.
And boy did she get the photoshop out.

And there's no hard feelings from Baylee. She isn't doing it to get back at the boss/boyfriend she told Buzzfeed, 'It was just so I could still post cute pictures and people not think we're back together'
Practical and hilarious, Baylee is our kind of gal.
She shared the post on her Facebook with the caption ,'Throw back to some great adventures in the last few months, can't wait to start this next adventure in my life solo (Sorry Zac Efron, you're not in it)
'On a side note, please be in it Zac Efron
'(When all your cute travel pictures have your ex boyfriend in them so you have to improvise)'
It's garnered 200 shares, 5.5k likes and 520 comments so far.
As well as the general hilariousness of these pics, it's also pretty awesome that Baylee isn't letting the haters stop her from doing her thang.
We heartily approve this message, now where can we find a good Photoshop tutorial?
