I hope etiquette returns as we increase in numbers. I miss decorum and manners especially in public from younger people. I talk about adjusting one's crotch, spitting, cursing, shouting or wearing dirty, smelly clothing in crowded spaces.
Honestly, the hardest part of being a woman is it feels like the world doesn't want me to be one. Thank you for helping me feel free, happy, and safe, in my femininity. God bless you.
The Angel yes and especially when you notice other girls glaring at you as if it’s a sin to look feminine. I’m scared people will mock me for and saying stuff like I’m dressed like a girly kid
You just put my feelings into words! I also feel bad for being "the feminine one" in those situations, and I feel bad for all the attention I get for actually good looks. So I've spent years and years trying to look average or rather "worse", so no girls/woman would feel angry about me being more feminine and no boys/men would feel like desiring me, especially physically. It's easier when nobody notices you. These videos like hers give me confidence to be who I am! No more breast hiding posture, more cute dresses in summer, here I am.
@@WarriorOfStateOfMind it's amazingly horrifying seeing that are women who put other women down for literally anything. I've always have noticed the attention that I attract from other woman because the way I look and carry myself. I'm 5'9, I have ridiculous long legs and long neck and because my regular outfits are elegant/formal (I work in an office, gracious God) thrust me I drag a lot of attention in a ridiculous manner.
I prefer your channel because you come off very humble and you don’t sound like you are speaking down on anyone. I wish I had a mom like you that could had taught me all of this. I have to change my wardrobe. Also you are very beautiful.
Jo thank you for this sweet encouragement!! This really means a lot. It’s so important for us to recognize that we are all at different stages and places in life. You are so sweet and thank you for taking the time to bless me today. Xoxo
I just wanted to recommend a channel “dearly bethany” if you are investing in your wardrobe watching her beforehand can be really helpful!! Of course being comfortable and confident in your clothes is the most important thing but taking some of her advices and adding neutral colors to my wardrobe has made dressing up so much easier for me so I recommend:))
Same! My mom didn't teach me anything and was incredibly neglectful. I wish I had someone to each me these things when I was young, but here I am in my 30s trying to correct my awful posture, learn social skills and how to be lady like. It's never too late to learn :)
I’m a female in the military and being around men constantly for the last four years has really made me lose my femininity. It’s really nice to watch your channel as a reminder of how to act ladylike!
Idk I’m female in the military and we still find ways to be lady like and pamper ourselves when we are serving. Not to mention we still have times where we can dress in civilians at which time we can be as traditional and feminine as we want. We were making ladies pamper nights, doing natural make up routines, haircut nights, mani pedi nights, etc. even on deployment. It must not always be the case to be able to find other feminine females in your unit. It might matter the MOS too. I’m a medic which traditionally was one of the first jobs for females in the military (see hero nurse Clara Barton). There were lots of very feminine women in my AIT and in the medic sections of the units I was attached to. But many of us are very proud to be both feminine and heroines.
1. way you carry your body, your posture. imagine you have wings and keep them up. string from your crown pulling you upward. 2. keep your knees together while sitting. 3. give your seat up for elders 4. keep your hygien private dont scratch pluck or play with your hair in public. breath smell fresh, keep your jewellery clean. 5. being a good neighbour
This is gonna be weird to say, but ever since I found your channel my outlook on life has changed. I've been so happy and productive, living in a way that truly makes me feel good. Thank you 💕 Ps I found a breadmaker while thrifting for $7 today! Im so excited~
This made my day! I am so happy you are living in a way that is bringing more productivity and positivity! It will make the harder times much more bearable. 😘 Sending you love and congratulations on finding the bread-maker! Thrifted bread-makers are the white whale of second hand shopping 🤣😊
Thank you for talking about common courtesy things such as standing up for the elderly or helping people with a stroller etc. It often shocks me how inconsiderate people are
About loving your seat... Someone can have an invisible disability and being looked down is just... Awful. Some won't even dare to ask for their seat (that they more than need !) because they are afraid of being looked down upon (or have to justify themselves, a thing they maybe don't want do to, which is normal. Plus the justification is rarely listened to if the disability is really not visible). So... I mean of course some are perfectly able and just lazy and/or inconsiderate and that should not be normal. But you never know... Maybe the person have a disability (and she does not want to scream it in public and/or be looked down).
I feel like you've gotten so much more confident with your narration in these videos! You have always been poised, but I think you seem increasingly secure in your message and speaking.
I feel like femininity is under attack today. I love your videos because they create a digital space where I can truly be comfortable with being feminine and where I can work on resetting the effects of the societal narrative that women are only strong if they act like men. I truly thank God that you are able to reach myself and so many other women!
Amy Sarai it’s not that hard once you get used to it. My mom taught me a lot of this growing up & now it comes natural. Just try it out for a couple months & it will be second nature after awhile.
I wear colored lip balm and do my hair in a nice protective hair style like braids and a bun , when I’m tired after college i wear comfortable and feminine pajama ( search for the vintage pjs ) , when i feel good i will wear something more cute like a dress or a cute t-shirt and comfortable pants , a simple style that i will be confident wearing it out and change it before bed for something suitable for sleeping like a loungewear /nightgown
Thank you so much for including Neighbourliness. I think niceness is the the most important quality in being a lady. There is no point in being polished if you are mean.
True. I work with a woman who is very polished but very unpleasant to deal with. Her polished look disappears as her snobby attitude overshadows her pretty appearance.
When she said "record yourself doing something" I literally gasped. I've done that before while writing essays because I wanted to see if I could veiw how other people see me a bit more realistically lol
I love how you balanced being a good citizen with paying attention to self protection instincts. Thank you!!!! Women too often put other people's feelings/misguided sense of politeness ahead of their own safety with devastating consequences
Thank you for that last part about safety so few people speak on it but it needs to be said. Being too nice to strangers can get yourself hurt or worse. Always be aware of surroundings and off people ladies.
After getting married, I stayed at home for three years before returning to school to follow my own dreams; next year, I will start a PhD! I’m usually the most feminine-presenting woman in any given room. It’s taken me a while to own it! On another note, I just love that you’re a woman who knows what she wants and does it. I learned that staying home full time isn’t fully for me, but I still adore homemaking in my free time. You have a beautiful way about you, sweet sister! Thank you for sharing your lovely life. 💕✨
THANK YOU for addressing not getting drunk around strangers, not going out alone in the evenings unnecessarily, not being overly trusting, and never driving drunk. Our safety and returning home to our loved ones is so important, yet it is all to common for women to put themselves in these kinds of situations in this day and age. Lovely video! ❤ Can you do a video on how to be feminine in the workplace please?
Try to keep unnecessary confrontation at a minimum and practice being tolerant and patient towards others. If you become agitated towards someone who is a stranger, do not raise your voice and try to be respectful as much as possible while you speak to them about their behaviour. If they do not listen to you, at least you will be calling out their bad behaviour in public with grace and hopefully the people around you will notice and appreciate you more. After all not everyone is brave enough to speak up in these sort of situations. I feel like composure is very important to being ladylike. If you are angry at your loved-ones try to keep it out of public eye as much as you can. I am not an expert but those i feel like are a few things one can influence in their behaviour.
Contrary to what many are saying, there is no shame in raw anger. Of course, try your very best to be polite, but (and i cannot stress this enough) get your point across, do not be dismissed.
First of all, don't shallow your anger, because if you do you run the risk of exploding with rage. And rage can make you do things you'll regret. Do something with your anger, express it or do something about it. If you're constantly angry over little things it's probably because you're in a situation that makes you feel powerless, figure out why and ask yourself am I really powerless? Sometimes walking away it's enough, sometimes it's more serious idk it depends
Hi! I just wanted to say that another great way to be lady like is through person-first language. For example, you would say “person with disabilities” instead of “disabled person”. This shows that a person has a disability, but the disability does not have a person. Thank you!!
As someone who is autistic, I and the majority of the disabled community tend to prefer “disabled person” as opposed to person-first language. Our disabilities are a part of who we are, and there are times when society uses person-first language to deny this.
I love that you can have a channel like this without putting down women who are less feminine or graceful. I think it's nice to appreciate every style of person while still following your own style
Great example with the butterfly wings. Definitely reminds me of ballet 😊🌸. I made a video on posture about a month ago, if you have time to check it out💕. Wishing you a great weekend!
Something that really helped me with posture was to purchase a posture corrector off Amazon. It was under 20$ and wearing it for 20 minutes a day made a huge difference!
i sometimes wear a Renaissance bodice so I dont slouch . works as well, it has the wrong silhouette for everyday wear out and about. what brand did you get ? i'm overwhelmed by the variatey
I like what you said about having the confidence to say no and trusting your instincts. Those are two things I need to work on. I notice that I have great intuition and find myself disappointed when I ignore them. I applied the shoulder trick as I washed dishes and listened to this video. Thank you for sharing these with us. I appreciate them and have learned a lot.
I don't mean to sound dramatic, but your channel is very valuable to me because I don't feel as though I ever learned about these basic skills or topics as a child. Growing up without that kind of role model really makes it difficult to blossom properly. I adore your content. Thank you :)
Please, could you explaing how should be our posture when we are just stand up waiting for something? I dont know how i should keep my hands to look nice and not awkward, if i have something to keep one my hands is better, but my problem is when i dont have. Please, i would appreciate it very much, you always looks so beautiful! I love you videos!💕💕 Kisses from🇪🇦❤
I think she might be an Aries, in one of her other videos I believe she mentioned her bday is around the beginning of April. Might be wrong😅 She did say she doesn't believe in astrology and what not. She also thinks her enneagram is a 4 if you're interested in that too :) Also, I realize this comment is a year old, but I just found her tonight and have been binge watching her like crazy! Cheers!
I love this, I don’t know if you do but do you have a video on how you communicate with your husband. Like not sound like his mom in a nagging way but like get your point across without sounding demanding and aggressive.
I’m so grateful for these videos! I am trying to teach my daughters about the importance of being feminine and living that role in which God created us woman to fulfill. What you share is immensely helpful in conveying that information to my daughters. May God continue to Bless you and use you for His Glory! ❤️
Thank you, Caitlin, you are such an inspiration, I like watching your videos during my morning routine, thanks to that I have motivation to wake up earlier and put some effort. Greetings from Poland
Thank you for the tips, Mrs. Midwest! Do you have a video on where you shop for clothes, shoes, and accessories? If not, could you consider making a video like so? Thank you for all of your helpful videos :)
Does anyone else struggle with what to do with their hands when they are with others? All fine when I'm by myself or people I'm relaxed with, but if I'm with strangers or acquaintances, all of a sudden I become hyper aware of them and it feels...sooo...awkward 😂
I must say, I feel like you're the definition of femininity. It's very motivating to have someone as feminine as you explaining how femininity is more of a skill rather than a natural "talent". Thanks so much for this video, definitely subscribing. Have a great day🌻
This is great. Woman often. Aren't taught these things these days. Another tip is that ladies dont yell in public. I've seen woman screaming to friends on the street and in stores. Not cool.
How about *EVERYONE* not yelling in public? Everybody are so noisy i feel like my ears are going to bleed everytime, and the fact that my hearing is kind of bad now doesn't help it.
This is a little bit off topic but I really like your way of speaking, it’s very clear and linear. Watching your videos helped me sooo much with learning english. Great video ad always 💞thanks for the tips!
I would like to know your thoughts on the Disney Princesses and who you think is or isn’t very lady like. Namely Mulan, Mérida, Moana, Pocahontas ♥️♥️♥️
Femininity is a mindset first, then a way of expression second! There is a free EBook download on that subject here: edifythebody.org/curriculums/. No email address is required and make sure you download the EBook instead of the presentation. ❤️❤️❤️
Can you please make a video on how upper school girls tend to be influenced with peers. Influence, it’s a huge one until we are much older not caring how others perceive us. And this is how we get caught up in trendy clothes and doing what everyone else is doing because we want to blend in.
Stephanie K Very true! I am Russian, and to smile at a stranger isn’t sincere, and is a sign of a fool. However, I live in Ireland and people smile constantly at everyone. It is 100% a cultural thing !!
Gotta take notes! I've always struggled with my posture because Im still on crutches but the second I take them off for good inshallah I'll start working on that ladylike posture Currently I have to somehow overcome my laziness and my natural passive aggressive moments to be ladylike
I've been binging your videos lately, and you read my mind on this one! Thank you so much for your thoughtful content, positive attitude, and contagious smile!
As a college student, I feel like I am almost always hunched over under a heavy backpack or while reading a book. How can I improve my poise under these circumstances?
This is the awesome video! Also practicing ballet helps as well with ladylike behavior and posture :) I love dancing ballet as it makes me feel even more feminine
You're the barbie type of Megan Fox! Thanks for sharing tips! I practiced this and the my guy friend, noticed that I improved and became ladylike. So effective!
The *Joker* final trailer came out yesterday. That, and this video right here, are the two pieces of content that have restored my faith in humanity the most this week... Is that weird? #WeLiveInTheBestTimeline 🤡🌍
Hi Caitlyn, please could you make a video targeted at younger ladies on how to interact with men who aren’t your husband/ with dating as Christian lady? God bless and thanks so much for your videos !
Hi, I am a 16 year old girl and i love your channel! You are the kind of person i want to grow up to be! I want to be more ladylike but the problem is that i am a very bubbly and energetic person when i am with my friends and everyone and i am afraid that it will make me appear less serious and ladylike😅 Because i love attention and sometimes i am scared i will get it in a bad way😊😣 Do you have any tips for me?❤
@Matty Matty Oww thank you! It's just that sometimes i am very unsure if it's ladylike😊 Sorry for asking this stupid question but thank you for your response❤
I'm a man Mrs. Midwest who appreciates this insight. I find your advice interesting because of the similarities (such as how to show and / or improve your self - worth, confidence, with your posture, etc.) & contrasts (such as how to sit) - depending of course, on the context - be it, masculine or feminine - or both. So, some things you spoke about I take for granted & others could always improve - if I'm not already conscious of & mastered those things that are shared with the feminine (mentioned above) & being a man, or masculine.
Forgot to say hello from Plano, Texas (suburb of Dallas, central southern USA) I also noticed ladylike behavior is wise to NOT follow The Four Rules Of Stupid (because women, children & the elderly are part of a vulnerable population - NOTE: That's NOT meant to be a negative - it's just one of the facts of life) 4 Rules Of Stupid are - Going to stupid places - at stupid times - with stupid people - doing stupid things. Thank you so much for your input, or insight.
Thank you, Caitlyn, for another great video. I would love to get your opinion on social media ladylike ettiquette. Would you do a video on this topic? It came to mind when you mentioned not getting drunk around strangers. I never drink to excess, ever. In this age of social media, even drinking excessively with friends can get you posted on their instagram account, and the whole world gets to see your behaviour! My daughters know FAR more about peers' (not friends, just classmates) private lives than I ever did at their age!
@She’s so Lucky those are great tips! Yes, you have to be very careful who you trust on social media. Even private accounts, my daughters have said their peers will allow them to follow bc they are more interested in getting followers than maintaining their privacy. And as a landlord who rents to young people, I absolutely look at social media accounts as part of my decision as to whether to rent to someone or not.
Yayy just what I needed to hear! I’m going back to school next week and I definitely want to have improved posture so I can start the school year with a confident start💗
I loved this video very much 💛💛💛 but for me the thing is that I always mess up the opportunity to make a feminine confident first impression. instead, I act childish, obnoxious, overly loud and TOO comfortable on the first day of meeting people. And now i feel like that it’s too late to change they way i act. Like it’s for nothing since everyone already thinks that I’m that obnoxious annoying girl. But I’m gonna try anyways since it’s gonna help me in the long run i guess. I’m almost 20 so I guess it’s better late than sorry. Anyways, thank you so much for sharing a video like this!!!!! May God bless you 🙏🏻

God! I love your videos so much! While the world tells us to be a go getter and be a Daredevil, I find every video of yours a breath of fresh air! I feel so much joy watching you reaffirm the innate traits in each and every woman, in her own unique way. Loving our femininity is something each girl needs to be taught early in life. You're doing such great work for a whole new generation, and next ones to come. Love. 😍💖🤗
When sitting down, instead of looking at the chair or sofa directly, one may back up slightly until the seat touches one's calves, then sit down. This is especially useful during interviews or more formal events.
Thank you for mentioning NOT drunk driving. My brother Robby was killed by a drunk driver (also an illegal immigrant) almost 2 years ago. He was 29 and a newlywed. I miss him dearly. Another big thing related to that is just following the laws in general. For instance, going about the appropriate means to immigrate to a country and having integrity when making official documentation for work or legal matters.
I feel like I'm doing online princess training haha
U spoke my mind
@@Priyankashinde293 me too:D
ikr. I'm not really a feminine person in fact I'm actually prefer boy's clothing. But I'm just want to watch this video hahahaha
Same! I feel like I'm living The Princess Diaries lol
U should
It feels like etiquette is a lost art 😭 Thank you for these videos.
In this day and age it really has become lost. The do whatever you please, feel, and thinking only of yourself mentality is rampant currently.
Britt Tee Exactly!
I hope etiquette returns as we increase in numbers. I miss decorum and manners especially in public from younger people. I talk about adjusting one's crotch, spitting, cursing, shouting or wearing dirty, smelly clothing in crowded spaces.
Femininity is a futile social construct according to women of nowadays.

What does a lady wear around the house? I'm always curious what I should wear when I'm just staying home all day
Same!
Oh my was asking myself the same question today.
I like a jersey shirtwaist dress.
Shiloh Morris a causal put together. Not sweat pants or baggy tee but you know pants or nice top. You still feel comfortable but still look nice
I wear colored lip balm and do my hair in a nice protective hair style like braids and a bun , when I’m tired after college i wear comfortable and feminine pajama ( search for the vintage pjs ) , when i feel good i will wear something more cute like a dress or a cute t-shirt and comfortable pants , a simple style that i will be confident wearing it out and change it before bed for something suitable for sleeping like a loungewear /nightgown
Good posture is by far the biggest sexually appealing physical characteristic. Bad posture is terribly unattractive
Always so classy, much respect.
I've never been more dainty and girly 🌺🌺🌺

True. I work with a woman who is very polished but very unpleasant to deal with. Her polished look disappears as her snobby attitude overshadows her pretty appearance.

Lifting weights helps too you have to keep proper posture...
Same! Every time I catch myself slouching I'm like oh shit I can hear my teacher yelling

how does a lady act when irritated or infuriated? realistically?
Try to keep unnecessary confrontation at a minimum and practice being tolerant and patient towards others. If you become agitated towards someone who is a stranger, do not raise your voice and try to be respectful as much as possible while you speak to them about their behaviour. If they do not listen to you, at least you will be calling out their bad behaviour in public with grace and hopefully the people around you will notice and appreciate you more. After all not everyone is brave enough to speak up in these sort of situations. I feel like composure is very important to being ladylike. If you are angry at your loved-ones try to keep it out of public eye as much as you can. I am not an expert but those i feel like are a few things one can influence in their behaviour.
With self control
Contrary to what many are saying, there is no shame in raw anger. Of course, try your very best to be polite, but (and i cannot stress this enough) get your point across, do not be dismissed.
First of all, don't shallow your anger, because if you do you run the risk of exploding with rage. And rage can make you do things you'll regret. Do something with your anger, express it or do something about it. If you're constantly angry over little things it's probably because you're in a situation that makes you feel powerless, figure out why and ask yourself am I really powerless? Sometimes walking away it's enough, sometimes it's more serious idk it depends
Love from Pakistan to Catilyn 💕
Sending love back to you from across the world! xoxo
@@MrsMidwest 💕💕 please make a video on what to do when your husband is angry please 😘
@@rijakunwar7655 typical pakistani question

Hi! I just wanted to say that another great way to be lady like is through person-first language. For example, you would say “person with disabilities” instead of “disabled person”. This shows that a person has a disability, but the disability does not have a person. Thank you!!
A little PC aren't we!
Mary Webb I’m not trying to nit-pick, just trying to be respectful and educate about respect!
@@ThrivingInThirdGrade The way you wrote it, was like you were offended by her not using person- first language.
@@tiryaclearsong421 I tend to disagree!
As someone who is autistic, I and the majority of the disabled community tend to prefer “disabled person” as opposed to person-first language. Our disabilities are a part of who we are, and there are times when society uses person-first language to deny this.
I love that you can have a channel like this without putting down women who are less feminine or graceful. I think it's nice to appreciate every style of person while still following your own style
Can you please do a video on how to be elegant as a teenager and tips on going through that part of life
Great example with the butterfly wings. Definitely reminds me of ballet 😊🌸. I made a video on posture about a month ago, if you have time to check it out💕. Wishing you a great weekend!
I love your videos too.
fiqa pwincess thank you so much 😊💕
Something that really helped me with posture was to purchase a posture corrector off Amazon. It was under 20$ and wearing it for 20 minutes a day made a huge difference!
i sometimes wear a Renaissance bodice so I dont slouch . works as well, it has the wrong silhouette for everyday wear out and about. what brand did you get ? i'm overwhelmed by the variatey
You're top is so pretty ! 😍Where did you buy it ? Love from France ❤️
I like what you said about having the confidence to say no and trusting your instincts. Those are two things I need to work on. I notice that I have great intuition and find myself disappointed when I ignore them. I applied the shoulder trick as I washed dishes and listened to this video. Thank you for sharing these with us. I appreciate them and have learned a lot.
I noticed my posture changed after my second baby and my chest is now heavier than ever. This video is a good reminder I need to work on this.
you are saying to not get drunk with strangers beause it is not ladylike but getting drunk in it self already is not ladylike
True!
@ffliberty all types of drunk are not ladylike, especially in public
I agree
wannaone missyou definitely and absolutely Not! agree!
I don't mean to sound dramatic, but your channel is very valuable to me because I don't feel as though I ever learned about these basic skills or topics as a child. Growing up without that kind of role model really makes it difficult to blossom properly. I adore your content. Thank you :)
Please, could you explaing how should be our posture when we are just stand up waiting for something? I dont know how i should keep my hands to look nice and not awkward, if i have something to keep one my hands is better, but my problem is when i dont have. Please, i would appreciate it very much, you always looks so beautiful! I love you videos!💕💕 Kisses from🇪🇦❤
I LOVE YOUR VIDS! Just have to say how refreshing it is to see a beautiful conservative lady on TH-cam. From one LEO wife to another, God bless!
Is she leo??
Tanushree Sharma her husband is a law enforcement officer 👮🏽♀️👍🏻 so is mine
I think she might be an Aries, in one of her other videos I believe she mentioned her bday is around the beginning of April. Might be wrong😅 She did say she doesn't believe in astrology and what not. She also thinks her enneagram is a 4 if you're interested in that too :) Also, I realize this comment is a year old, but I just found her tonight and have been binge watching her like crazy! Cheers!
Kind of flown out the window made me laugh lol 😂 but yes I totally agree
My opinion:
We can be feminine and still stay true and stand our ground
I love that you say not to be ashamed of our feminine forms. As someone with a slightly larger chest, thank you!
I love this, I don’t know if you do but do you have a video on how you communicate with your husband. Like not sound like his mom in a nagging way but like get your point across without sounding demanding and aggressive.
Also, your eyebrows have been looking even more incredible!
Omg you have no idea how excited I get when you post a new video!!!! 😭😍😍😍
I sit at a computer desk all day and really struggle with posture 😕
Try to sit straight then you’ll get used to it
I’m so grateful for these videos! I am trying to teach my daughters about the importance of being feminine and living that role in which God created us woman to fulfill. What you share is immensely helpful in conveying that information to my daughters.
May God continue to Bless you and use you for His Glory! ❤️
Thank you, Caitlin, you are such an inspiration, I like watching your videos during my morning routine, thanks to that I have motivation to wake up earlier and put some effort. Greetings from Poland
Pilates is the best kind of exercise for good posture:)
Thank you for the tips, Mrs. Midwest! Do you have a video on where you shop for clothes, shoes, and accessories? If not, could you consider making a video like so? Thank you for all of your helpful videos :)
She has posted that she thrifts most of her clothes and purses but not shoes!
10:13 "ur not going to want to apply deodorant in public"🙈who the F does that looollll🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does anyone else struggle with what to do with their hands when they are with others? All fine when I'm by myself or people I'm relaxed with, but if I'm with strangers or acquaintances, all of a sudden I become hyper aware of them and it feels...sooo...awkward 😂
I must say, I feel like you're the definition of femininity. It's very motivating to have someone as feminine as you explaining how femininity is more of a skill rather than a natural "talent". Thanks so much for this video, definitely subscribing. Have a great day🌻
This is great. Woman often. Aren't taught these things these days. Another tip is that ladies dont yell in public. I've seen woman screaming to friends on the street and in stores. Not cool.
Shutup
How about *EVERYONE* not yelling in public? Everybody are so noisy i feel like my ears are going to bleed everytime, and the fact that my hearing is kind of bad now doesn't help it.
This is a little bit off topic but I really like your way of speaking, it’s very clear and linear. Watching your videos helped me sooo much with learning english. Great video ad always 💞thanks for the tips!
I would like to know your thoughts on the Disney Princesses and who you think is or isn’t very lady like.
Namely Mulan, Mérida, Moana, Pocahontas
♥️♥️♥️
Femininity is a mindset first, then a way of expression second! There is a free EBook download on that subject here: edifythebody.org/curriculums/. No email address is required and make sure you download the EBook instead of the presentation. ❤️❤️❤️
You won my heart at " give your sit up to anyone who needs it " ❤
Can you please make a video on how upper school girls tend to be influenced with peers. Influence, it’s a huge one until we are much older not caring how others perceive us. And this is how we get caught up in trendy clothes and doing what everyone else is doing because we want to blend in.
I sincerely appreciate you mentioning ladies with larger chests!
When I'm at my desk, I have a habit of hunching and its got to stop! Going to the gym has really helped me with my posture, I think :)
Why are we always expected to smile?
That's a cultural thing. In some parts of the world, smiling to people you don't know is rude.
Stephanie K Very true! I am Russian, and to smile at a stranger isn’t sincere, and is a sign of a fool. However, I live in Ireland and people smile constantly at everyone. It is 100% a cultural thing !!
Gotta take notes! I've always struggled with my posture because Im still on crutches but the second I take them off for good inshallah I'll start working on that ladylike posture
Currently I have to somehow overcome my laziness and my natural passive aggressive moments to be ladylike
@Zainab Hussein same to you ameen :)
You literally look like an angel . Thank you for this video 🧡🧡
I've been binging your videos lately, and you read my mind on this one! Thank you so much for your thoughtful content, positive attitude, and contagious smile!
I am in my journey to be more feminine. I really loved this video. I know it will help me. Thank you so much for educating us
As a college student, I feel like I am almost always hunched over under a heavy backpack or while reading a book. How can I improve my poise under these circumstances?
This is the awesome video! Also practicing ballet helps as well with ladylike behavior and posture :) I love dancing ballet as it makes me feel even more feminine
You're the barbie type of Megan Fox! Thanks for sharing tips! I practiced this and the my guy friend, noticed that I improved and became ladylike. So effective!
How do you keep your teeth so bright ??
The *Joker* final trailer came out yesterday. That, and this video right here, are the two pieces of content that have restored my faith in humanity the most this week... Is that weird?
#WeLiveInTheBestTimeline 🤡🌍
God bless you for emphasizing good and considerate treatment toward everyone you interact with!
I feel like people judge us for being “too friendly” but in reality, that’s just who we are... 🤷🏾♀️
Hi Caitlyn, please could you make a video targeted at younger ladies on how to interact with men who aren’t your husband/ with dating as Christian lady? God bless and thanks so much for your videos !
As a man I must say it is a great pleasure watching your videos madam!
haha cao iz bosne!
Hi, I am a 16 year old girl and i love your channel! You are the kind of person i want to grow up to be! I want to be more ladylike but the problem is that i am a very bubbly and energetic person when i am with my friends and everyone and i am afraid that it will make me appear less serious and ladylike😅 Because i love attention and sometimes i am scared i will get it in a bad way😊😣 Do you have any tips for me?❤
@Matty Matty Oww thank you! It's just that sometimes i am very unsure if it's ladylike😊 Sorry for asking this stupid question but thank you for your response❤
I'm a man Mrs. Midwest who appreciates this insight. I find your advice interesting because of the similarities (such as how to show and / or improve your self - worth, confidence, with your posture, etc.) & contrasts (such as how to sit) - depending of course, on the context - be it, masculine or feminine - or both. So, some things you spoke about I take for granted & others could always improve - if I'm not already conscious of & mastered those things that are shared with the feminine (mentioned above) & being a man, or masculine.
Forgot to say hello from Plano, Texas (suburb of Dallas, central southern USA) I also noticed ladylike behavior is wise to NOT follow The Four Rules Of Stupid (because women, children & the elderly are part of a vulnerable population - NOTE: That's NOT meant to be a negative - it's just one of the facts of life) 4 Rules Of Stupid are - Going to stupid places - at stupid times - with stupid people - doing stupid things. Thank you so much for your input, or insight.
Thank you, Caitlyn, for another great video. I would love to get your opinion on social media ladylike ettiquette. Would you do a video on this topic? It came to mind when you mentioned not getting drunk around strangers. I never drink to excess, ever. In this age of social media, even drinking excessively with friends can get you posted on their instagram account, and the whole world gets to see your behaviour! My daughters know FAR more about peers' (not friends, just classmates) private lives than I ever did at their age!
@She’s so Lucky those are great tips! Yes, you have to be very careful who you trust on social media. Even private accounts, my daughters have said their peers will allow them to follow bc they are more interested in getting followers than maintaining their privacy. And as a landlord who rents to young people, I absolutely look at social media accounts as part of my decision as to whether to rent to someone or not.
Please please share your weightloss video you princess 🙈😍
Yayy just what I needed to hear! I’m going back to school next week and I definitely want to have improved posture so I can start the school year with a confident start💗
I loved this video very much 💛💛💛 but for me the thing is that I always mess up the opportunity to make a feminine confident first impression. instead, I act childish, obnoxious, overly loud and TOO comfortable on the first day of meeting people. And now i feel like that it’s too late to change they way i act. Like it’s for nothing since everyone already thinks that I’m that obnoxious annoying girl. But I’m gonna try anyways since it’s gonna help me in the long run i guess. I’m almost 20 so I guess it’s better late than sorry. Anyways, thank you so much for sharing a video like this!!!!! May God bless you 🙏🏻
I love the angel wings tip, even my young daughter can understand that one. Can you share with us where your shirt is from, it is very flattering?
This particular makeup look is very flattering on you!
A video on budgeting when on low income? 🤔

God! I love your videos so much! While the world tells us to be a go getter and be a Daredevil, I find every video of yours a breath of fresh air! I feel so much joy watching you reaffirm the innate traits in each and every woman, in her own unique way. Loving our femininity is something each girl needs to be taught early in life. You're doing such great work for a whole new generation, and next ones to come. Love. 😍💖🤗
When sitting down, instead of looking at the chair or sofa directly, one may back up slightly until the seat touches one's calves, then sit down. This is especially useful during interviews or more formal events.
I would absolutely love to know what lipstick you are wearing! It’s so flattering on you, darling 💕
Thank you for mentioning NOT drunk driving. My brother Robby was killed by a drunk driver (also an illegal immigrant) almost 2 years ago. He was 29 and a newlywed. I miss him dearly. Another big thing related to that is just following the laws in general. For instance, going about the appropriate means to immigrate to a country and having integrity when making official documentation for work or legal matters.
U r sooo graceful like a princess. U have elegance in your air. U r my inspiration. Thank you
My mom said I'm not a lady at all. I didn't resoect myself enough. So, I will show her how Lady I am 😎
Can you do a video on where you shop to find feminine clothes??
I loved this video ! I sometimes forget about my posture . Can you make a video of How to always be on time !
