Queen of Selfies Kim Kardashian-West has decreed that two selfies per minute is the korrect selfie frequency to make the most out of your vacation.

Kim konfesed on Kendall Jenner's app that she took 6,000 selfies on a recent four day trip to Mexico, which we will now break down to help you optimize engagement on your vacation content.

That means 1,500 selfies a day, which amounts to approximately 62.5 per hour.

However, doctors recommend sleeping from seven to nine hours a day. Although it's certainly possible with self timers to facilitate sleep selfies, let's go ahead and estimate that Kim slept eight hours per day on vacation and took a break from selfies in those regenerative hours.

Kardashian-West has said that her daily makeup routine is 120 minutes long, so we will subtract two hours from the selfie schedule.

That leaves Kim with a mere 14 waking, glam hours per day to take selfies, which equals 107.1 per hour thus 1.8 per minute, which rounds up to two.

So there you have it! If you want good vacation selfies, be sure to take two per minute for best practices. Please keep in mind, however, that Kardashian-West most likely is significantly more skilled in the art of the selfie than you, so you might just want to double that and take four selfies per minute.

Also, remember to eat, hydrate, relax and have fun!
