Fun Video. But i beg to differ. Elegance is ALL about the exterior sophistication. Internal human defaults are normal, and natural - like envy, jealousy, and drama comes from inside. Corrections should be- An Elegant woman has the Finesse to control her human traits shortcomings, if not growing from it, but at least have the master of not making them overt.
Hi! I always watch your channel, I really like it, :-) is there any tips or videos for planning mom's on how to be elegant as a new mother with 1 kid Only , thanks!
Mine too. She came from a family of 11, during The Depression. My grandmother and all of her children are effortlessly elegant. My mother and father drilled manners and etiquette into my brothers and me, starting young. They wanted us to be able to comfortably navigate every social situation. I thought it was frivolous and ridiculous until I hit adulthood, and passed those lessons to our 28year-old son. A couple of years ago, he thanked me profusely after noticing the social awkwardness in many situations, and the lack of even table manners within his peer group. He actually receives compliments from older folks, or people assume he comes from much-wealthier than his middle-class upbringing, because sadly, he is often an anomaly. I think true elegance actually ensures the comfort of everyone around you...It is not a weapon to show any sort of superiority.
How should I start working on myself? I'm tall, big boned, 72yo, from farmers, poor, low voice, have a nice smile, losing height and bending, I think elegance is in my essence. Self help books...I don't like confrontation. I got to get to work on me. Time is not standing still. Confidence is welcome.
Amazing content in this video! I rarely suggest anything in comments, but the book Women's Magic Truths is a game-changer. It provides deep knowledge on wealth and self-care that can really make a difference. Take care, everyone
1. Elegant women are not desperate for men, friends, attention etc. 2. Elegant women show others respect (etiquette, manners..) are compassionate and humble 3. Elegant women do not do drama (if so we pick our fights) 4. Elegant women are not mean- jealous (but use positive-jealousy for our own motivation) 5. Elegant women are not obsessed about luxury and materialistic things but get our value from inside 6. Elegant women communicate clearly and refined (we keep our mind open) 7. Elegant women celebrate their unique personality instead of copying others 8. Elegant women celebrate others differences and do not look down on modesty 9. Elegant women give back to society (i.e. charity/ volunteering) 10. Elegant women work on their emotional self and take ownership of their issues I wish you all great success in remembering and realizing these tips in the moment when you'll need them.
You should do a class for the women who have anger issues or grew up in a bad environment, thus leading them to have more of a fight or flight response. I would take that in a heart beat.
You are right. Not everyone have good family background and influences. It is very difficult for them to change the bad habits due to this factor. They need more guidance and good example.
They should make therapy, coaching, or educate themselves with coaches of TH-cam and Instagram. It is necessary to be able to reflect your behaviour and also be open for healing
I come from exactly that and it’s possible to break. Change your mindset cliché as it sounds red books like vibrate higher daily and more that will reinforce a different mindset and daily habits, follow, engage, and surround yourself with people you do want to be like. The same way conditioning is taught it can be undone is what I’ve found. So basically our everyday environment created the life we want to break so constantly shove the life you want down your throat lol with books, even a lock screen that reminds you of your goals, changing your crowd and eventually all that & a little more rubs off in you the same way negativity and bad habits did. Hope this helps 🖤🖤✨✨✨
While I agree that elegant woman are not arrogant, I would like to say that arrogance and authority do not necessarily go hand in hand. In my opinion it is not inelegant for a woman to have authority if it is necessary or justified.
That is why Meghan Markle is not truly elegant. She has 3 PR firms working full time trying to make her and Harry seem important. They advertise, throughout the world, anything they do for charity, rubbing it in everyone’s faces. They are not really an authority on anything and are constantly telling others how to live their lives.
I like to think of myself as a classy lady, but I was taught by my three generations of women that raised me. I especially loved the part where you said ladies don’t do drama and being jealous. That’s me! Thank you for sharing this! ❤
One of the secrets of Anna's success (and one of the reasons why she deserves it so much) is her inclusiveness. On her channel, she models how to be non-judgemental and this the best version of elegance that there is.
Even though I'm a man, I watch Anna because she too teaches important values that even a man can learn from. I'm glad she spoke about jealousy and how to deal with it. Congratulations on 1 million subscribers!

Beware of treachery in this world and those who become hateful of others who are doing well and secretely thrilled with those who are doing badly. Do not disscuss your achievements with others and engage in conspicuous consumption. The latter draws the attention of crooks.
"Ultimate elegance is when you can really accept everyone in their shape, sizes of forms, and never impose your own beliefs onto someone else" . This is the best thing I have ever heard ❤️ Thank you!
Happy I came across this. I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that being elegant,classy,respectful and humble is indeed a good thing. I was always ridiculed and made feel less by many women and men for respecting myself. I was never a follower, always had my own Elegance and it is ok. I was always naturally Elegant even growing up,school didn't even teach me that and well my family taught me somethings too but I just always felt I behaved differently. I can say it was instinctive.

I just love how Anna emphasizes that being beautiful and classy has nothing to do with how much your pockets are filled. Too many people mistaken economic status for true class...
Exactly this. Many also fail to realize that any amount of “followers” =/= class or status. I would equate this to pie crust popularity; easily made & easily broken. Money can absolutely buy things that could make it easier to achieve a higher social standing… but if you fail to continue to educate yourself as you rise up that social ladder 🪜, the fall from grace will be a swift- & probably painful- one. Stay safe out there, be blessed!!🤓🤘🏽💋🔮⚖️
Elegance and good deportment is all about STRATEGY. It is a skill and it requires fine tuning. No one is born elegant, it is learned, and anyone can learn it at any age!
Hear, hear, I live downtown Charleston, SC. We have these citizens who call themselves the crusties. These women are so elegant in their natural fibered, casual clothes. It's about not trying to hard. Being comfortable in your own skin. Unique is nice.
I’ve been an orphan and poor all my life but even as a child I celebrated the great things others had. I have always felt truly happy and excited about the success of others. I enjoy seeing people get beautiful things and I love to rejoice over their blessings! I’m always inspired. God bless the world!
I am lucky enough to remember my Great Grandmother. She immigrated from Scotland & never had a lot of money but even as a child I recognized she was different. She carried herself with grace & style & was always listening to others. True Class & Elegance ❤️. Thank You for reminding me of that.
I’m telling you, Anna is definitely that older sister some girls didn’t know they needed. I wish I had these guidance when I was in my early 20s. Would have saved me a lot of drama and helped me find my path and my worth.
Dear Anna, thank you so much for your videos. I would habe been very happy to know all this things when i was younger, early twentys. How about teaching the young ladys about the Saturn Return? Everybody has to deal with that around age 29. Thank you
Thank you for these rules, Miss. I am watching this as 14 years old teenager who wanted to be a sophisticated, yet educated woman in the future. I know it will take many years to become a person who I looked up to, but I'll try to work it out. I manifest! 👠
The specific emphasis you placed on differentiating elegance and superiority is so important. It's the epitome of class to know that you don't exist to compare or compete but to simply shine in your own right. Such a stunning take.
I took your advice by changing my appearance as an elegant lady on vacation in NYC. I must admit, I had a LOT of affluent men checking me out. Plus, my friend told me, daily, “You look so elegant!” Thank you for everything….🥰
Anna, I’m amazed at how much you have evolved. When you started this channel you were advocating for enjoying the finer things in life, almost as if you are not enough if you don’t or you can’t. Now you make it clear that it’s not what defines us, and it’s not meant to show off and look down on others. It’s an upgrade to our life, it brings us joy. Bravo Anna, I’m enjoying your content even more because I feel like you bring depth to the transformation journey. It’s not always about money, I learned respect and good manners when I was a little girl in an average middle class family. I encourage all the mommy Ladies out there to transmit those values to their children, it’s a good foundation 😊
Ita with your comments. It reflects my exact thoughts. I don't think Anna would have made it to a million subs without the subtle changes she's made. I guess that proves she practices what she preaches. Anna puts a lot of thought into presenations. She deserves continued success & growth. 👏👏
Agreed with you both. I think she has taken the negative responses and misunderstandings she has experienced and learned how to better define and communicate her beliefs and intentions. Which is an excellent model on how to grow as a person.
idk, I did notice the shift in the narrative in this video, and I truly appreciate it. But considering that less than 2 months ago she uploaded what essentially was a bullying video about Zara, I still think she has a long way to go. I tend to be distrustful of people like her, so it will take much more than one sensible video for me to believe she "practices what she preaches".
The people you surround yourself with have a massive effect on what you become.. This is so true. Negative people will make you negative, succesful will push you forward, toxic will do what they are good at etc. Love the content, keep it up! ❤️
Not just so called negative people. It’s mostly dramatic people, people who speak with slang and can’t speak a sentence without using derogatory language, being on edge to fight at any moment. Those types are awful.
I don’t want to sound vain or conceited, but after hearing this I realize I’ve always been and strived to be elegant naturally, it’s part of me. All these points apply since I was young and what I’ve faced when learning about the world. I thought I was weird haha but now it makes sense. Glad this puts perspective on it.
Anna, this is a beautiful list. Elegance is heart, soul and humane. I'm so glad you did this video list. People sometimes loose themselves in appearances and miss the values of substance.
For me and for my daughter too. She is 6 years old. Honestly I grew up being so insecure about so many things. So here I am learning and in progress... 🌻
@@moondrop3031 hello. Good to know that I’m not the only one doing this. We actually watched Anna’s video together whenever we have time. And she’s learning.

Class does not equal wealth love that part. Love the whole video honestly, with me getting older I start to see how rude, dark, bitter, and disrespectful people are in the world so I want to be the complete opposite. I need to get on it and level up! Everytime someone sees me I want to be doing better than before inwardly.
Same here, it's just so sad that you feel so alienated when you try to be classy and respectful. Should be the other way round actually... And I too think it has something to do with age. Greetings!

Absolutely! Elegant woman are not jealous I never really understood jealousy… there’s enough to go around there’s enough success to go around if you don’t have it go get it or sometimes it just wasn’t meant for you. Overall this was a great video! Thanks Anna💜
Kelly kade. You have an unusual attitude. Good that you think this way! I commend you. I’ve come a long way in this area, but wish I’d matured sooner. ( and still have a way to go. ). Thank you for your comment.
Many elegant women are extremely jealous. They may not show it in an honest way, it can be viciously destructive in a passive aggressive way, or social way.
@@MC-gq5ms no problem! I wasn’t trying to be cocky or anything but maybe it was just the way I was brought up but I definitely want to encourage others that if you truly want it to go out and get it there’s nothing wrong with being inspired by others to make you want to go out and get your own. I hope all the best for you. There’s room to grow with everything. I have things I have to work on in different areas. We can do it! Yes to learning and refining ourselves, that’s what life’s all about💜💜
I'm so grateful that even though we did not always have money, my father raised me with a lot of class. Etiquette and manners have always been extremely important to him and I'm glad I picked up those good habits as a child. They flow so naturally now as an adult.
She is a very effective communicator. And she emphasizes important character traits. Respect, no drama, being inspired by your friends' success. She is very creative in her presentations.
Very true. Especially when it comes to someone's behavior. Understanding that everyone is going through something and someone's poor behaviour that seems to be directed towards you, very often is just a reflection of what they're going through. Once you understand this, you don't get trigerred that much. Instead of judgemental you become compassionate.
I’m a plain Jane, and I choose to live a “normal” life. I’ve been in the high society circle and it wasn’t for me, but elegance is universal. I love this channel and Anna Bey!
I trained myself last few years not to be jealous of others (not that I was over jealous person in 1st place) but to be pleased and happy for them instead and even inspired. I found it has been very beneficial to myself most of all. Such valuable great tips here from Anna, every woman should watch this!
@@cx_n1 I grew tired of the toxicity that jealousy produced the feeling inside was horrible that was first trigger to change. I addressed my insecurities and what I could do about them and realised everyone, and I mean everyone has them. Stop comparing yourself to others- but learn to admire and even aspire. Being able to humble myself was a big part of it too. Being aware I was lucky to have what I already did have in my life. Having this life of gratitude really helped me move on.
I love coming to the comments section and reading all of your positive experiences with your transformational journey. You all inspire me every day, and I enjoy knowing that I am not alone embarking on this journey and that there is a million of us out there. The finer things in life are a rarity, and although sometimes we may feel like we are alone on this path, it’s exhilarating to know that true feminine ladies with refined class and sophistication still exist in this world. Thank you Anna for the invaluable work that you do ❤️
It’s rare to find women like us in this world but that’s why we treasure our hearts and selves and value ourselves 💖😌 and your right the self love journey may be more lonely but it’s necessary if we want to be happy in life !

I stumbled upon this video after ending a very drama-filled relationship last week. I can’t thank you enough. I’m focusing on myself now and this is just reinforcing everything I am feeling.
Dear Anna, you promote exactly what my elegant ancestors taught me (granny, mummy as well as my teachers at French nuns' school). Thank you so much for refreshing these teachings. I believe Envy Is what shows lack of class the most.
This is very helpful to watch while going through a very rough mental health period. I haven’t had any self-confidence and have not been living up to my potential. Seeing videos like this motivates me to start treating myself and others with more respect.
Hello to everyone I listen this bc it’s very honest instruction coming from a stranger so there’s no personal association to anyone. I’m 66 and I had no upbringing except by my sisters who also didn’t have a Mother to coach, teach, guide. We’re all in a journey Andy hopefully never done learning until our time is done. We need to work on ourselves, our spirit, soul, character traits before we look outside at others. None of us are together all the time. I say, take time to go in with your problem. Write it down what your thoughts and feelings are so you may come to an understanding of the situation that you truly understand, not your friend, sister or co worker. If it happened to you, then you have the true pic. Take time to sort issues out I. A beautiful place away from distractions, interruptions, and be with yourself. It’s so necessary to grow bc we’re always becoming someone new while we’re growing wiser. God bless you
Agreed on the secrecy of philanthropy, Anna. Even though I am excited about the charity and volunteer work that I have done, I rarely talk about it. I mention what I’ve done to family or friends sometimes but it’s never a prolonged topic of discussion. I think that I would come off as a braggart if I started to do nothing but talk talk talk about the things that I have done. I prefer to keep much of my efforts down low.
I mention it only when I think thete's a chance the person may be interested in getting involved in it too, or when a particularly tragic situation bothers me to the point that I need to talk through it with someone who cares about me.
“ i don’t like when women use elegance to feel superior to others” this is my first time on your channel and I am happy i found you. The fact that you communicate that it starts from the inside and that class is not defined by status or money, your channel is one I can adhere to. Your beliefs are aligned with mine and I want your channel to be a tool for me to level up. Thank you.
It is lovely how Anna expresses the point that elegance can be exuded in every lifestyle from minimalist, modest, and more extravagant. It feels important for ladies to choose to appreciate how all individuals have a way of life that makes them happiest, and the value of polished character can stand out in ANY environment.✨

Thank you for pointing out that elegance is not just how you behave or wear, its also about how you think and feel! this was really powerful thank you again for sharing such an inspirational video Anna
I love how Anna points out that at some point in our lives we damage ourselves & that we need to take responsibility for it & work on ourselves. A lot of people point the finger at others for their misfortune, but at the end of the day, the only way one can overcome the past is to take responsibility for where they are right now & know the way to improve is to work on yourself. When we do that everything else will fall into place.
My favorite video of yours Anna Bey. Watching this video made reflect on myself. As she pointed it’s not just dressing the part. I feel like dressing elegant is easier vs having the qualities she suggests we have in this video. Having the correct attitude with ourselves and also with others really does makes people stand out in my eyes. That confidence without belittling those around you is golden.
That “blue” is your color! You always look gorgeous, but that color blue is amazing with your skin tone and your hair. Amazing video! You’re always right on target with what (esp. young) ladies need to know about the world. Thank you.
My interpretation of plain Jane and average Joe is anyone not working on themselves. It could be anybody that just doesn’t care about being a better version of themselves physically, mentally, intelectual, etc. regardless of their social and wealth status
Dearest Anna, I personally want to thank you for all your encouragement, knowledge, and advice. I have not taken the elegant quiz yet but I look forward to doing so. I’m curious as to what type of elegant I am. I do practice most of what you advise all women to do but I do have a few items that need some work. Again, thank you for bringing these to the forefront instead of being delusional while pretending they do not exist. Much love and I enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming to all of us. Vicki❤️
Somehow this show up on my feed, and I am so happy to have clicked on it. I LOVE YOUR MESSAGE!!! I love your heart-center mindset! That is a SOPHISTICATED MIND! You are the coolest elegant lady I've heard speak.
Thank you for empowering women and trying to bring elegance to the world. The reality is that people have become too casual, too crass, and do not take care of themselves. We must set a good example for the future generation!
I loved it, especially the part where you so beautifully explain how elegant women shouldn't look down upon others and that it's okay if someone wants to choose a different kind of life that's not necessarily elegant or extravagant. I realize I should work on my behaviour. Thanks for the reminder.
This is the kind of positive female energy I've been searching for. This is my first time watching your video, and I have now subscribed! I will be taking notes
Number 5 really touch my heart. As an s*xual assault survivor it took a long time for me to be conscious about my emotions because of trauma and that affects the way I was developing myself in every aspect of my life. Maybe that's an episode I couldn't forget but now I'm able to continue growing up with confidence an not letting those feelings break me down
Use this to spring board you, strengthen you, and move you forward. There is no greater motivation to value yourself and require that of others than as a response to a situation that sacrificed your value. Never again, on your terms from here on in. I wish you peace and healing as you level up!
Maria, I too suffered at the hands of a sexual abuser. Congratulations on becoming an assault survivor! That assault does not define who you are. YOU define who you are. You took back your power! Impressive… Keep growing! Sincerely, Deanne
I truly value your transparency, it directly reflects your healing. We are not the criminals, so why should we allow our lives to beaten down with shame. Bravo 👏
I still use some slang because I find it fun and it also depends on who I am with. I agree with you about not being judgmental. A rule I learned early on was there is a difference between being discerning and being a snob. Good manners includes making others feel comfortable.
My Mother taught me how to be a classy woman from the time I was a little girl. I love that you are putting it out there for people who didn't have that advantage but want to elevate their lives. Great video.
I did your quizz on Facebook, it motivated me even more. My mom used to buy me elegant clothes when I was 18/19 and it made me look too much older But now that I’m 21 and way much confident, working and all I understand why she was buying me elegant clothes, I see the difference. Your advices and videos made me realize my mom is such an elegant woman and inspiration too ! You always make better and better content, merci Anna ❤️
I loved how you specified how women get jealous when you're leveling up in life. This has actually happened to me and it was hard to see people I was close to criticize or think that all I do is spend money all the time. It got to the point to where I had to stop being friends because it got uncomfortable.
I feel like I strived to be classy since I became an adult, but I find myself slipping back into starting drama and not caring about how I come across or how I look. Depression. However, I am naturally drawn towards elegance and want to get rid of this bitterness within me from depression. I was raised to be classy and it seems I have lost myself within the last few years with who I used to be and how I was taught to be. It's within me, I just have to get back to it and this video has helped so much. I will get back to my true self now, a classy person with my morals again, and do better for myself and others. Thank you so much for helping me.
Ms. Anna, I could not resist letting you know how happy it made me to hear your expressions regarding #8. Those expressions made me feel proud of you & proud to be one of your subscribers.
I've started my elegant journey. The past two days I've spent more time getting ready and making a conscious effort. It's hard for comfy me but I'm doing it and I've enjoyed the awesome compliments from people. Wearing good clothes and being presentable is beneficial to everyone. I experience my days differently now.
@@nzuzothwala9683 are you from Mzanzi? I am. 😊 Hi!!! Yes ... we can dress elegantly AND love the compliments. Remember we are raising our self worth. YOU are worth it.
Thank you, Anna. I truly enjoyed your video that reveals the 10 things an elegant woman does which speaks volumes about her class. My mother taught me at a young age, “One cannot demand respect, however, we must command it.” Everything you spoke of reflects the words of my elegant mother. I asked her once, “Mom how do you know when a person has class?” She responded by sharing, “ You either have it or you don’t.” My mother had class. Although she was successful in business, it was never her money which defined her. It was her inner attitude toward life and all its wonders. Although, my mother parted this world so young, her words will forever live within me. Rest In Peace, Mother!🌹
I bought a dress very similar to the one Anna’s wearing in this video but in emerald green. I went out with my partner and had so many compliments on it. I even had a women come to my table and tell me how nice I looked and how much the dress suited me. I’d never met her before. I bought the dress with Anna in mind 🙂. Thank you for your advice 💖
Anna you're absolutely amazing. You are one of the few who upgraded yourself and keeps a humble and profoundly true image. Most brazilian women who teach elegance became very very snobbish after reaching a certain "money" level and now look down on us who are still learning and criticize hardly the mistakes we still make - and that they used to do too. "Elegance is discretion." You are fantastic!
Anna I just want to thank you for helping me develop myself. I have been watching your videos for a year and whenever I meet a man; they compliment how feminine and elegant I am. You completely impact my energy❤️ and I just want to tell you that yesterday my man gave me a ring, you helped me a lot in this journey! Lots of love from istanbul❤️
Thank you for transforming my life. I had been a raggy girl but now I got so inspired (though just16) but I felt the need of elegance in my life.Thank youuu
This is one of my favorite videos of yours! Elegant women self analyze, ask themselves the questions no matter how tough the answers might be. That is a truly sophisticated woman. Always improving, always self regulating. Thank you Anna!
I really love this video. It is true that not every wealthy person is elegant, and I totally agree that we shouldn't look down on anyone who is not on the same path. It is just a different journey we embark on. I am working towards being person with elegance, grace and wisdom. Love you, Anna!
I loved what you said about giving without making it public. Doing the right thing with generous support in privacy. I feel like we’re loosing that and it’s so aggressive to boast about giving. Thank you for this post. I learned several good things!
Great advice for everyone regardless of financial status. Thank you Anna for this content. In a society where much of this isn't taught regularly anymore, you are helping to make the world a better place!
As a young lady in my 20's i just have to say: Thank you for everything. My life changed in a such way that i'm not capable to explain thanks to your advices. A huge life changing in my life, i'm almost crying now. Thank you honey. Girl from Brazil. 🇧🇷♥
"Elegance...is a personal style." ~Anna Bey This vlog resonates with me completely. I especially appreciate your view on discreet philanthropy. It's truly better to give than receive. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Wow! I am not an elegant woman so to speak. I am so impressed with what you said in this video. As a Christian woman I know these are also the values that God intended for all women. You have such a sweet personality to go along with your beautiful which, adds to your elegance. It makes you stand out! I will recommend this to my granddaughters. Thank you!!!
I've been this woman before, it changed when I realized I was surrounded by drama and friends who were in fact jealous. I didn't want to believe that my best friend could turn her back on me, but when given the opportunity she did not hesitate and actually orchestrated all the drama. lol. I laugh about it now because It made me realize that I'm still a good person even under pressure. Even though she has apologized and I have forgiven her. I still believe in leveling up so that I don't have to encounter relationships that are laced with turmoil and insecurity. It starts with you! Thank you for this.
You’re always so helpful Anna. I felt so identified with the car situation, I just got a very nice new car and showing it to my "friend", she just said that I got a mom car. No congratulations, good wishes, nothing. Just bitterness. You’re amazing! ♥️
Love this content! Being elegant is a matter of choice. May not be for everyone, but to whoever wants to keep becoming better version of themselves, Anna's vids definitely have lots of great reminder. The term elegance is just a small label, the further meaning implied in the reminder she gives actually has deeper and much more meaning.. simply to become a better person in each of us, every single day...♥️

Fun Video. But i beg to differ. Elegance is ALL about the exterior sophistication. Internal human defaults are normal, and natural - like envy, jealousy, and drama comes from inside. Corrections should be- An Elegant woman has the Finesse to control her human traits shortcomings, if not growing from it, but at least have the master of not making them overt.

Hi! I always watch your channel, I really like it, :-) is there any tips or videos for planning mom's on how to be elegant as a new mother with 1 kid Only , thanks!
BRILLIANT
My mother never had much money, but she was the most elegant, classy woman I have ever known.
Mine too. 😥
L’elegance est une attitude, un état d’esprit, et non seulement un compte bancaire élégant!
Mine too, she doesn’t even try but there’s something about her that voice elegance and beauty. She’s the reason I’m looking up these videos hahaa
Mine too. She came from a family of 11, during The Depression. My grandmother and all of her children are effortlessly elegant. My mother and father drilled manners and etiquette into my brothers and me, starting young. They wanted us to be able to comfortably navigate every social situation. I thought it was frivolous and ridiculous until I hit adulthood, and passed those lessons to our 28year-old son. A couple of years ago, he thanked me profusely after noticing the social awkwardness in many situations, and the lack of even table manners within his peer group. He actually receives compliments from older folks, or people assume he comes from much-wealthier than his middle-class upbringing, because sadly, he is often an anomaly. I think true elegance actually ensures the comfort of everyone around you...It is not a weapon to show any sort of superiority.
I’ve been taking classic ballet class since three years old..There were truly elegant girls from lower middle class ;-)
I love how she always emphasizes how important it is to be a good person and to constantly be working on yourself. True elegance✨
AND SHARES it with her fellow ladies.. unselfishly.
🥰
How should I start working on myself? I'm tall, big boned, 72yo, from farmers, poor, low voice, have a nice smile, losing height and bending, I think elegance is in my essence. Self help books...I don't like confrontation. I got to get to work on me. Time is not standing still. Confidence is welcome.
Amazing content in this video! I rarely suggest anything in comments, but the book Women's Magic Truths is a game-changer. It provides deep knowledge on wealth and self-care that can really make a difference. Take care, everyone
1. Elegant women are not desperate for men, friends, attention etc.
2. Elegant women show others respect (etiquette, manners..) are compassionate and humble
3. Elegant women do not do drama (if so we pick our fights)
4. Elegant women are not mean- jealous (but use positive-jealousy for our own motivation)
5. Elegant women are not obsessed about luxury and materialistic things but get our value from inside
6. Elegant women communicate clearly and refined (we keep our mind open)
7. Elegant women celebrate their unique personality instead of copying others
8. Elegant women celebrate others differences and do not look down on modesty
9. Elegant women give back to society (i.e. charity/ volunteering)
10. Elegant women work on their emotional self and take ownership of their issues
I wish you all great success in remembering and realizing these tips in the moment when you'll need them.

Thank you!
You should do a class for the women who have anger issues or grew up in a bad environment, thus leading them to have more of a fight or flight response. I would take that in a heart beat.
You are right. Not everyone have good family background and influences. It is very difficult for them to change the bad habits due to this factor. They need more guidance and good example.
Some of us, life taught us to be strong in order to survive. Didn't have so much talks about life and challenges.
Yes !!! Wow I need this so much .
They should make therapy, coaching, or educate themselves with coaches of TH-cam and Instagram. It is necessary to be able to reflect your behaviour and also be open for healing
I come from exactly that and it’s possible to break. Change your mindset cliché as it sounds red books like vibrate higher daily and more that will reinforce a different mindset and daily habits, follow, engage, and surround yourself with people you do want to be like. The same way conditioning is taught it can be undone is what I’ve found. So basically our everyday environment created the life we want to break so constantly shove the life you want down your throat lol with books, even a lock screen that reminds you of your goals, changing your crowd and eventually all that & a little more rubs off in you the same way negativity and bad habits did. Hope this helps 🖤🖤✨✨✨
Elegant women are not arrogant. They are comfortable within themselves, without having to set themselves up as an authority.
While I agree that elegant woman are not arrogant, I would like to say that arrogance and authority do not necessarily go hand in hand.
In my opinion it is not inelegant for a woman to have authority if it is necessary or justified.
There is nothing wrong with being an authority on a particular subject, it is to be admired.
That is why Meghan Markle is not truly elegant.
She has 3 PR firms working full time trying to make her and Harry seem important. They advertise, throughout the world, anything they do for charity, rubbing it in everyone’s faces. They are not really an authority on anything and are constantly telling others how to live their lives.
oh, the irony.
@@lubazak636 I have never seen Megan Markle telling anyone how to live their lives.

Money doesn’t buy class

But im so jealous of beautiful smart and wealthy people, Im such a loser compared to them. How could you not be jealous ever?
One of the secrets of Anna's success (and one of the reasons why she deserves it so much) is her inclusiveness. On her channel, she models how to be non-judgemental and this the best version of elegance that there is.
Yes exactly 😊
Hi how are you doing today hope you’re having a wonderful day
I always notice that...so true!
Very true
Well said
Even though I'm a man, I watch Anna because she too teaches important values that even a man can learn from. I'm glad she spoke about jealousy and how to deal with it. Congratulations on 1 million subscribers!
Good job 👏🏻

Hester L Furey, good morning how are you doing?
I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on TH-cam🎼😍
Beware of treachery in this world and those who become hateful of others who are doing well and secretely thrilled with those who are doing badly. Do not disscuss your achievements with others and engage in conspicuous consumption. The latter draws the attention of crooks.
"Ultimate elegance is when you can really accept everyone in their shape, sizes of forms, and never impose your own beliefs onto someone else" . This is the best thing I have ever heard ❤️
Thank you!
Happy I came across this. I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that being elegant,classy,respectful and humble is indeed a good thing. I was always ridiculed and made feel less by many women and men for respecting myself. I was never a follower, always had my own Elegance and it is ok. I was always naturally Elegant even growing up,school didn't even teach me that and well my family taught me somethings too but I just always felt I behaved differently. I can say it was instinctive.

I just love how Anna emphasizes that being beautiful and classy has nothing to do with how much your pockets are filled. Too many people mistaken economic status for true class...
Exactly this. Many also fail to realize that any amount of “followers” =/= class or status. I would equate this to pie crust popularity; easily made & easily broken. Money can absolutely buy things that could make it easier to achieve a higher social standing… but if you fail to continue to educate yourself as you rise up that social ladder 🪜, the fall from grace will be a swift- & probably painful- one.

Elegance and good deportment is all about STRATEGY. It is a skill and it requires fine tuning. No one is born elegant, it is learned, and anyone can learn it at any age!
That's really good. I love how elegance is open to everyone.
Yes, but I also believe a woman can have elegant features
Like your comments
Agreed!
Hear, hear, I live downtown Charleston, SC. We have these citizens who call themselves the crusties. These women are so elegant in their natural fibered, casual clothes. It's about not trying to hard. Being comfortable in your own skin. Unique is nice.
I’ve been an orphan and poor all my life but even as a child I celebrated the great things others had. I have always felt truly happy and excited about the success of others. I enjoy seeing people get beautiful things and I love to rejoice over their blessings! I’m always inspired. God bless the world!
You have a great (and Biblical ) attitude. I am sure it will get you far in life.
aww man! you are so sweet. I wish to have people/friends like you in my life :D Stay blessed!
That's great! I know some orphans who are very bitter, angry, and jealous.
You are definitely a true woman of Elegance . You have a beautiful heart and personality.
Agreed.
I wish every woman would watch this video and take it to heart. This is such an important message ❤
I am lucky enough to remember my Great Grandmother. She immigrated from Scotland & never had a lot of money but even as a child I recognized she was different. She carried herself with grace & style & was always listening to others. True Class & Elegance ❤️. Thank You for reminding me of that.
I’m telling you, Anna is definitely that older sister some girls didn’t know they needed. I wish I had these guidance when I was in my early 20s. Would have saved me a lot of drama and helped me find my path and my worth.
Me too… 🙌🏻
Me too. I didn't even have a mother to look up to.
Dear Anna, thank you so much for your videos. I would habe been very happy to know all this things when i was younger, early twentys. How about teaching the young ladys about the Saturn Return? Everybody has to deal with that around age 29. Thank you

I agree, elegant women always support other women, never compete or be catty. Women must always support other women!
I'm very fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful, supportive, trure female friends. There is ONE though, but it seems that always the case.🤔
Hum, I don’t support critical, gossiping women.
That’s true but unfortunately the vast majority of women are catty and would rather tear down another woman these days.
Absolutely they should positively support each other.
The day that people, male or female don't compete with each other will be the end of the world.
Thank you for these rules, Miss. I am watching this as 14 years old teenager who wanted to be a sophisticated, yet educated woman in the future. I know it will take many years to become a person who I looked up to, but I'll try to work it out. I manifest! 👠
The specific emphasis you placed on differentiating elegance and superiority is so important. It's the epitome of class to know that you don't exist to compare or compete but to simply shine in your own right. Such a stunning take.
I took your advice by changing my appearance as an elegant lady on vacation in NYC. I must admit, I had a LOT of affluent men checking me out. Plus, my friend told me, daily, “You look so elegant!” Thank you for everything….🥰
What things did you change/do to your appearance?
Anna, I’m amazed at how much you have evolved. When you started this channel you were advocating for enjoying the finer things in life, almost as if you are not enough if you don’t or you can’t. Now you make it clear that it’s not what defines us, and it’s not meant to show off and look down on others. It’s an upgrade to our life, it brings us joy. Bravo Anna, I’m enjoying your content even more because I feel like you bring depth to the transformation journey. It’s not always about money, I learned respect and good manners when I was a little girl in an average middle class family. I encourage all the mommy Ladies out there to transmit those values to their children, it’s a good foundation 😊
Ita with your comments. It reflects my exact thoughts. I don't think Anna would have made it to a million subs without the subtle changes she's made. I guess that proves she practices what she preaches. Anna puts a lot of thought into presenations. She deserves continued success & growth. 👏👏
Agreed with you both. I think she has taken the negative responses and misunderstandings she has experienced and learned how to better define and communicate her beliefs and intentions. Which is an excellent model on how to grow as a person.
idk, I did notice the shift in the narrative in this video, and I truly appreciate it. But considering that less than 2 months ago she uploaded what essentially was a bullying video about Zara, I still think she has a long way to go. I tend to be distrustful of people like her, so it will take much more than one sensible video for me to believe she "practices what she preaches".
Manners taught at home from a young age can go very far and is one of the best gifts you can give your children 💯
@@horace6851 She just flows with the wind.
It's about money.
The people you surround yourself with have a massive effect on what you become.. This is so true. Negative people will make you negative, succesful will push you forward, toxic will do what they are good at etc. Love the content, keep it up! ❤️

Not just so called negative people. It’s mostly dramatic people, people who speak with slang and can’t speak a sentence without using derogatory language, being on edge to fight at any moment. Those types are awful.
I don’t want to sound vain or conceited, but after hearing this I realize I’ve always been and strived to be elegant naturally, it’s part of me. All these points apply since I was young and what I’ve faced when learning about the world. I thought I was weird haha but now it makes sense. Glad this puts perspective on it.
Anna, this is a beautiful list. Elegance is heart, soul and humane. I'm so glad you did this video list. People sometimes loose themselves in appearances and miss the values of substance.
Byfar the best video Anna has ever created . Literally portrays a perfect elegant behaviour!
I love this video 😊
I'm subscribing for my 5 year old daughter to watch as she grows up. This video is not about elegance, this talk is about decency.
I agree so much on that. I also told my 9 year old daughter about Anna. I wish to raise her with good manners and a good heart.
It is about elegance! Also decency.
And decency is elegant. 😊
For me and for my daughter too. She is 6 years old. Honestly I grew up being so insecure about so many things. So here I am learning and in progress... 🌻

Class does not equal wealth love that part. Love the whole video honestly, with me getting older I start to see how rude, dark, bitter, and disrespectful people are in the world so I want to be the complete opposite. I need to get on it and level up! Everytime someone sees me I want to be doing better than before inwardly.
Same here, it's just so sad that you feel so alienated when you try to be classy and respectful. Should be the other way round actually... And I too think it has something to do with age. Greetings!
You are so right Anna: judging is so immature: who are we to judge? I moved away from this attitude and feel so much better! ❤️❤️

Absolutely! Elegant woman are not jealous I never really understood jealousy… there’s enough to go around there’s enough success to go around if you don’t have it go get it or sometimes it just wasn’t meant for you. Overall this was a great video! Thanks Anna💜
Sometimes I cant stop being jealous. I never treat them badly though. Many women treat other women badly cuz they are jealous
Kelly kade. You have an unusual attitude. Good that you think this way! I commend you. I’ve come a long way in this area, but wish I’d matured sooner. ( and still have a way to go. ). Thank you for your comment.
Many elegant women are extremely jealous. They may not show it in an honest way, it can be viciously destructive in a passive aggressive way, or social way.
@@MC-gq5ms no problem! I wasn’t trying to be cocky or anything but maybe it was just the way I was brought up but I definitely want to encourage others that if you truly want it to go out and get it there’s nothing wrong with being inspired by others to make you want to go out and get your own. I hope all the best for you. There’s room to grow with everything. I have things I have to work on in different areas. We can do it! Yes to learning and refining ourselves, that’s what life’s all about💜💜
I'm so grateful that even though we did not always have money, my father raised me with a lot of class. Etiquette and manners have always been extremely important to him and I'm glad I picked up those good habits as a child. They flow so naturally now as an adult.
you have been blessed!
I'm just as grateful for tho same reason....stay safe💌
My mother should taught me this but they call it "pabebe"
She is a very effective communicator. And she emphasizes important character traits. Respect, no drama, being inspired by your friends' success. She is very creative in her presentations.
Anna, your dress is so beautiful on you, the color and the style! I love your videos!
Being non judgemental is hard but it's a game changer when you implement it. Great video Anna! 😊😊😊
Very true. Especially when it comes to someone's behavior. Understanding that everyone is going through something and someone's poor behaviour that seems to be directed towards you, very often is just a reflection of what they're going through.
Once you understand this, you don't get trigerred that much.
Instead of judgemental you become compassionate.

I found it has been very beneficial to myself most of all. Such valuable great tips here from Anna, every woman should watch this!
Fantastic. How did you train yourself to do this? What tips or tools did you use
@@cx_n1 I grew tired of the toxicity that jealousy produced the feeling inside was horrible that was first trigger to change. I addressed my insecurities and what I could do about them and realised everyone, and I mean everyone has them. Stop comparing yourself to others- but learn to admire and even aspire. Being able to humble myself was a big part of it too. Being aware I was lucky to have what I already did have in my life. Having this life of gratitude really helped me move on.
I love coming to the comments section and reading all of your positive experiences with your transformational journey. You all inspire me every day, and I enjoy knowing that I am not alone embarking on this journey and that there is a million of us out there.

I stumbled upon this video after ending a very drama-filled relationship last week. I can’t thank you enough. I’m focusing on myself now and this is just reinforcing everything I am feeling.
Dear Anna, you promote exactly what my elegant ancestors taught me (granny, mummy as well as my teachers at French nuns' school). Thank you so much for refreshing these teachings. I believe Envy Is what shows lack of class the most.
Envy and lust in women...which I think lust comes from envy but it's a little bit directed towards what men have and these women want to "own".
You are absolutely right, mixed with greed.
This is very helpful to watch while going through a very rough mental health period. I haven’t had any self-confidence and have not been living up to my potential. Seeing videos like this motivates me to start treating myself and others with more respect.
Hi how are you doing today I hope you’re having a wonderful day

Hello to everyone
I listen this bc it’s very honest instruction coming from a stranger so there’s no personal association to anyone. I’m 66 and I had no upbringing except by my sisters who also didn’t have a Mother to coach, teach, guide. We’re all in a journey Andy hopefully never done learning until our time is done. We need to work on ourselves, our spirit, soul, character traits before we look outside at others. None of us are together all the time. I say, take time to go in with your problem. Write it down what your thoughts and feelings are so you may come to an understanding of the situation that you truly understand, not your friend, sister or co worker. If it happened to you, then you have the true pic. Take time to sort issues out I. A beautiful place away from distractions, interruptions, and be with yourself. It’s so necessary to grow bc we’re always becoming someone new while we’re growing wiser. God bless you
@@nancyinthegarden3160 thanks
Agreed on the secrecy of philanthropy, Anna. Even though I am excited about the charity and volunteer work that I have done, I rarely talk about it. I mention what I’ve done to family or friends sometimes but it’s never a prolonged topic of discussion. I think that I would come off as a braggart if I started to do nothing but talk talk talk about the things that I have done. I prefer to keep much of my efforts down low.
I mention it only when I think thete's a chance the person may be interested in getting involved in it too, or when a particularly tragic situation bothers me to the point that I need to talk through it with someone who cares about me.
“ i don’t like when women use elegance to feel superior to others” this is my first time on your channel and I am happy i found you. The fact that you communicate that it starts from the inside and that class is not defined by status or money, your channel is one I can adhere to. Your beliefs are aligned with mine and I want your channel to be a tool for me to level up. Thank you.
It is lovely how Anna expresses the point that elegance can be exuded in every lifestyle from minimalist, modest, and more extravagant.
It feels important for ladies to choose to appreciate how all individuals have a way of life that makes them happiest, and the value of polished character can stand out in ANY environment.✨

My husband told me long ago that I am classy. He said, just like his mom. I have always cherished that compliment.
Why would he say the woman he is sleeping with is just like his mom? You gotta wonder... 🤷♂️
That's a great compliment
I love how Anna points out that at some point in our lives we damage ourselves & that we need to take responsibility for it & work on ourselves. A lot of people point the finger at others for their misfortune, but at the end of the day, the only way one can overcome the past is to take responsibility for where they are right now & know the way to improve is to work on yourself. When we do that everything else will fall into place.

Dearest Anna, I personally want to thank you for all your encouragement, knowledge, and advice. I have not taken the elegant quiz yet but I look forward to doing so. I’m curious as to what type of elegant I am. I do practice most of what you advise all women to do but I do have a few items that need some work. Again, thank you for bringing these to the forefront instead of being delusional while pretending they do not exist. Much love and I enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming to all of us. Vicki❤️
Somehow this show up on my feed, and I am so happy to have clicked on it. I LOVE YOUR MESSAGE!!! I love your heart-center mindset! That is a SOPHISTICATED MIND! You are the coolest elegant lady I've heard speak.
I am a plain Jane and i am happy & fulfilled! Yet I consider myself feminine and elegant and I love your channel !!
Thank you for empowering women and trying to bring elegance to the world. The reality is that people have become too casual, too crass, and do not take care of themselves. We must set a good example for the future generation!
I loved it, especially the part where you so beautifully explain how elegant women shouldn't look down upon others and that it's okay if someone wants to choose a different kind of life that's not necessarily elegant or extravagant. I realize I should work on my behaviour. Thanks for the reminder.
I'm thankful when you started discussing about positive envy, I feel really bad for getting envy of people although it only motivates me to do better.
This is the kind of positive female energy I've been searching for. This is my first time watching your video, and I have now subscribed! I will be taking notes
Number 5 really touch my heart. As an s*xual assault survivor it took a long time for me to be conscious about my emotions because of trauma and that affects the way I was developing myself in every aspect of my life. Maybe that's an episode I couldn't forget but now I'm able to continue growing up with confidence an not letting those feelings break me down
I wish you lots of luck.... It must have taken a lot to walk on that path.. More power to you💕
Use this to spring board you, strengthen you, and move you forward. There is no greater motivation to value yourself and require that of others than as a response to a situation that sacrificed your value. Never again, on your terms from here on in. I wish you peace and healing as you level up!
Maria, I too suffered at the hands of a sexual abuser. Congratulations on becoming an assault survivor! That assault does not define who you are. YOU define who you are. You took back your power! Impressive… Keep growing! Sincerely, Deanne
I truly value your transparency, it directly reflects your healing. We are not the criminals, so why should we allow our lives to beaten down with shame. Bravo 👏
Simply an amazing video! I loved that the point about not being desperate was linked to true elegance.
Ana for me this is your BEST VIDEO ever! Blessings to you and keep shining your light. xoxo
I still use some slang because I find it fun and it also depends on who I am with. I agree with you about not being judgmental. A rule I learned early on was there is a difference between being discerning and being a snob. Good manners includes making others feel comfortable.
My Mother taught me how to be a classy woman from the time I was a little girl. I love that you are putting it out there for people who didn't have that advantage but want to elevate their lives. Great video.
I did your quizz on Facebook, it motivated me even more.
My mom used to buy me elegant clothes when I was 18/19 and it made me look too much older
But now that I’m 21 and way much confident, working and all I understand why she was buying me elegant clothes, I see the difference.
Your advices and videos made me realize my mom is such an elegant woman and inspiration too !
You always make better and better content, merci Anna ❤️
I loved how you specified how women get jealous when you're leveling up in life. This has actually happened to me and it was hard to see people I was close to criticize or think that all I do is spend money all the time. It got to the point to where I had to stop being friends because it got uncomfortable.
This is top level advice given for free!
I feel like I strived to be classy since I became an adult, but I find myself slipping back into starting drama and not caring about how I come across or how I look. Depression. However, I am naturally drawn towards elegance and want to get rid of this bitterness within me from depression.
I was raised to be classy and it seems I have lost myself within the last few years with who I used to be and how I was taught to be. It's within me, I just have to get back to it and this video has helped so much. I will get back to my true self now, a classy person with my morals again, and do better for myself and others. Thank you so much for helping me.
Ms. Anna, I could not resist letting you know how happy it made me to hear your expressions regarding #8. Those expressions made me feel proud of you & proud to be one of your subscribers.
I've started my elegant journey. The past two days I've spent more time getting ready and making a conscious effort. It's hard for comfy me but I'm doing it and I've enjoyed the awesome compliments from people. Wearing good clothes and being presentable is beneficial to everyone. I experience my days differently now.
😎
I totally get you, being a comfy girl myself, I try elevate my outfits in my own way. I'm still learning to accept compliments
@@nzuzothwala9683 are you from Mzanzi? I am. 😊 Hi!!! Yes ... we can dress elegantly AND love the compliments. Remember we are raising our self worth. YOU are worth it.
@@renegaderogue6310 Yes🌻🌻
@@nzuzothwala9683 Happy Heritage Day. 💛
Thank you, Anna. I truly enjoyed your video that reveals the 10 things an elegant woman does which speaks volumes about her class. My mother taught me at a young age, “One cannot demand respect, however, we must command it.” Everything you spoke of reflects the words of my elegant mother. I asked her once, “Mom how do you know when a person has class?” She responded by sharing, “ You either have it or you don’t.” My mother had class. Although she was successful in business, it was never her money which defined her. It was her inner attitude toward life and all its wonders. Although, my mother parted this world so young, her words will forever live within me. Rest In Peace, Mother!🌹
Sooo sweet!
I bought a dress very similar to the one Anna’s wearing in this video but in emerald green. I went out with my partner and had so many compliments on it. I even had a women come to my table and tell me how nice I looked and how much the dress suited me. I’d never met her before. I bought the dress with Anna in mind 🙂. Thank you for your advice 💖
Where did you get the dress from?
I have a linen dress like this with a full skirt. I found it a couple years ago. It only came in black and white, but I love wearing them.
Anna you're absolutely amazing. You are one of the few who upgraded yourself and keeps a humble and profoundly true image. Most brazilian women who teach elegance became very very snobbish after reaching a certain "money" level and now look down on us who are still learning and criticize hardly the mistakes we still make - and that they used to do too. "Elegance is discretion." You are fantastic!
I’m turning 19 and i found this channel and i love it!! Learned a lot, second vid I watched so far..
Anna I just want to thank you for helping me develop myself. I have been watching your videos for a year and whenever I meet a man; they compliment how feminine and elegant I am. You completely impact my energy❤️ and I just want to tell you that yesterday my man gave me a ring, you helped me a lot in this journey! Lots of love from istanbul❤️
Woww! Congratulations
😀
Amazing! Congratulations 💝💝💝
Congratulations😍😍
Congratulations!!!
P.s. I’m in love with Istanbul 😍
Thank you for transforming my life. I had been a raggy girl but now I got so inspired (though just16) but I felt the need of elegance in my life.Thank youuu
This is one of my favorite videos of yours! Elegant women self analyze, ask themselves the questions no matter how tough the answers might be. That is a truly sophisticated woman. Always improving, always self regulating. Thank you Anna!
You go girl you go girl you're doing great things in the world thanks, you're so inspiring thanks
I really love this video. It is true that not every wealthy person is elegant, and I totally agree that we shouldn't look down on anyone who is not on the same path. It is just a different journey we embark on. I am working towards being person with elegance, grace and wisdom.
Love you, Anna!
I loved what you said about giving without making it public. Doing the right thing with generous support in privacy. I feel like we’re loosing that and it’s so aggressive to boast about giving. Thank you for this post. I learned several good things!
I love how Anna empowers women- and incorporates varies ethnic groups in her videos 💕
Great advice for everyone regardless of financial status. Thank you Anna for this content. In a society where much of this isn't taught regularly anymore, you are helping to make the world a better place!
All of these things .....I already have in my personality but before watching this video I have no idea ,I'm an elegant women .Thankyou!!
I love that you say: this (jealousy/envy) has to do with me. Elegant women don't start hating others because of things they can't get.
@Anna-Maria Well I think elegance is a journey, more than a state. But you are right in that the number of women who choose this journey are few.
As a young lady in my 20's i just have to say: Thank you for everything. My life changed in a such way that i'm not capable to explain thanks to your advices. A huge life changing in my life, i'm almost crying now. Thank you honey. Girl from Brazil. 🇧🇷♥
South African here and I feel the same
"Elegance...is a personal style."

This vlog resonates with me completely. I especially appreciate your view on discreet philanthropy. It's truly better to give than receive. Thank you for sharing your journey!
😂😂😂😂
Wow! I am not an elegant woman so to speak. I am so impressed with what you said in this video. As a Christian woman I know these are also the values that God intended for all women. You have such a sweet personality to go along with your beautiful which, adds to your elegance. It makes you stand out! I will recommend this to my granddaughters. Thank you!!!
# 8 Not Looking Down on Others!!!! ❤️ Thank you for bringing up this point!
I've been this woman before, it changed when I realized I was surrounded by drama and friends who were in fact jealous. I didn't want to believe that my best friend could turn her back on me, but when given the opportunity she did not hesitate and actually orchestrated all the drama. lol. I laugh about it now because It made me realize that I'm still a good person even under pressure. Even though she has apologized and I have forgiven her. I still believe in leveling up so that I don't have to encounter relationships that are laced with turmoil and insecurity.
It starts with you! Thank you for this.
Congratulations Anna for 1M🥳
I always look up to you thank you for everything!!
You’re always so helpful Anna. I felt so identified with the car situation, I just got a very nice new car and showing it to my "friend", she just said that I got a mom car. No congratulations, good wishes, nothing. Just bitterness.
You’re amazing! ♥️
Love this content! Being elegant is a matter of choice. May not be for everyone, but to whoever wants to keep becoming better version of themselves, Anna's vids definitely have lots of great reminder. The term elegance is just a small label, the further meaning implied in the reminder she gives actually has deeper and much more meaning.. simply to become a better person in each of us, every single day...♥️
I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on TH-cam❤️
Wow! You are right on! Thank you for showing women what true elegance is and for showing the women who aren’t yet elegant, how to become elegant.
