National Selfie Day was established on June 21, 2014 by DJ Rick McNeely from Fishbowl Radio Network in Arlington, Texas. Since then, the holiday has gone viral.

Yes, it's an entire day dedicated to those selfie pics you would take even if it wasn't a holiday... admit it.

Now, if you want to get in the creative spirit of making an awesome, stand-out selfie, try playing around with a few of these helpful apps and tutorials.

1. Facetune

Play with different styles that add a little extra to your already awesome look. This app is great for removing those random stray hairs that try to photobomb.

2. PicsArt Photo Studio -- Glitch Selfie

This trippy selfie style is perfect if you're going for the lost in translation look. The blend of cool colors makes you look like a glitchy television screen. Keep it artsy and original.
