Anna has taught me one thing and its that if u want Quality u have to be Quality. Who and what you attract is a reflection of who you are. Why is the butterfly attracted to nectar, while the fly is to rot?
Yes thanks so much; I have bad teeth, thin hair, discoloration on my face, and loose skin. I’m determined to fix everything in the next year and learn your advice to transform into an elegant lady.
@@FollowmedowntheNumberWhole You can still be an elegant lady even with all those things you’d like to change. There will always be things we don’t like about ourselves. But a truly elegant woman loves and accepts herself as she is, even while working to better herself. She’s also focused more on others than on herself. That alone makes her beautiful.
No fast food or fast fashion this year lol Making Nutrition a priority Working out daily Invisalign Having my moles checked by dermatologist Growing my hair long and trying to stay away from too much heat Your Channel has helped me so much ;) We truly do appreciate it. Happy 2020
B DeSimone Do get those moles checked as soon as you possibly can, don’t put it off longer than you need to. No sense in having all the rest of the goals for 2020 if you are not here to pursue them;) Health first.. always! Cheers♥️
Anna, I’m gonna be honest with you, in the beginning when I first started watching your videos, I really didn’t want to like you, but as I watched more and more of your videos and listened to your advices, I couldn’t help starting to like you and I realized how right you are in the things your saying and agreed with many of your views. You’re like fresh air in the TH-cam community, and I love how you’re not ashamed to say what you think and are true to yourself, and don’t care about people who call you things because they don’t share your opinions. Keep up the good, honest work and keep giving us great advice, we really appreciate them ❤️
Actually, she does care what people think. She deletes comments that criticize any aspect of her appearance or the ones that tell her how wrong she is about what really goes in inside affluent circles. She is clueless. A complete phony.
@@PL-sg6yy How do you know? I am simply curious because I do have a strange fascination, I can't decide if I like her or dislike her. hahaha, and I just noticed you are PL and I am PM... funny :-D

They are everywhere. There is nothing special about this lady... she is just another mediocre female who is putting on airs and pretending to be something she is not. The worst part is that she's now extending her fakery to misleading other women to do the same. Wealthy men want quality, not a plastic phony whose only goal is to buy "love" and confidence with a man's money. This woman is a joke.
@@PL-sg6yy I am sorry for your bitterness and how you disregard yourself. And nope, it is true, wealthy men want something "exotic" as self confidence and courage being your best feature but in the end they really want a beautiful and well taken care lady alongside I don't think there is nothing wrong with that.
the truth ... 14 to 20 i wore the full stuff most of the time foundation, powder, blush, mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow smoky eyes ect ... then i couldn’t do it anymore honestly i had so much better to do that spending so much time in the bathroom and now when i do make up it’s usually very light !!
I am 62, but you are like a wise, generous, Big Sister/Best Friend. Really appreciate you sharing your honesty, experience and knowledge. Thank you, Anna.
It’s easy for people to look at gorgeous women and believe that it’s unattainable for themselves. Being so transparent and sharing the levels of time, effort and money it takes to evolve and improve your appearance as a woman is truly wonderful. Thank you ❤️
@@lorettaarzaga4172 Ive seen this especially in the area I work all the bags on the arms of women in the area are the same brand Nordstrom rack types. No one is original 😔
Skin cancer is on the rise along with other cancers because people do not eat healthy. They have no nutritional power to fight the cancer cells that lives in all of us. The sun has nothing to do with it. In fact the sun is actually helpful in fighting cancer because we NEED vitamin D for conversion. Most people apply sunblock which is full of chemicals, absorb it through the skin and block out both the sunshine vitamin and absorb chemicals which are all carcinogenic! Yes modern day “anti cancer” movement and so called “educational material “ is full of sh** and All about profits.
I’ve never sunbathed, I’m really pale and have no wrinkles and I’m over 40, I’ve worn spf 50 under make up, for years. People think I’m 10-12yr younger than I am, which is good
Roman Berezutskiy Sun has a lot to do with skin cancer. There’s a big difference between getting 15 mins of sun on bare skin to cooking yourself. That’s a ridiculous statement you made. My sister had skin cancer removed entirely due to sun bathing.
Video recommendations 1. Movies to watch to understand how the elite live, dress etc 2. Facial expressions/tone of voice that are more feminine and refined 3. How to smell great/create the fresh and fragrant aura Thanks!
I love her honesty with being open about the procedures that she has had, especially the teeth. She is like “my teeth were growing in all sorts of different directions” 🤣🤣🤣 She is so entertaining and informative 👏
In 2019 I lost some weight, got haircuts more frequently, and always kept my nails well maintained. I'd like to continue doing all of that, with a bit more focus on weight loss. My goal is to go down one dress size, which I think is totally do-able!
Never become lazy in your own transformation! Stay on top of your game! Yes, ladies!!! 😊 Anna, I love your advice and I appreciate how you also mention that along our transformation journey, we need to feel comfortable with change.
For 2020 I unsubscribed to a lot of channels, but I'm still subscribed to yours, because you're one of the few here who focuses on style, fashion, etiquette and self-improvement and -empowerment and most important selflove! And I really appreciate that! The things we do to better ourselves are not always to impress men! Hoping for a happy, healthy and manfree year 2020! 🥳🎉 Cheers! 🥂❤️💋
ColdDiva My self improvement will be finding a solution to the ever increasing waistline. Do not have a thyroid gland anymore and am post menopausal. Doing bio identical hormones but still apparently have high cortisol. I would just do anything that actually worked and didn’t stress my system causing more cortisol! BTW, I have done several laser treatments, Fraxel and recently Vivace on face and neck. I wear sunscreen religiously and layer it with powdered sunscreen when I am exposed for longer! I wear it on my hands, but now I am 66 and wish I had just invested in driving gloves! The sunscreen just did not do enough! Love your channel! Thank you!
And getting some knowledge ( you can follow free open courses, read books from your local public library). Knowledge is like that magnet that will put all your external changes into the right place, it will make you more hypnotic.
Consistency is key, the work on yourself never stops. We are constantly growing and redefining ourselves and that includes style. Beautiful video loved it!
“Well, okay, maybe I am over dramatizing a little bit.” I love your honesty… demonstrated appropriately throughout your videos. It is refreshing to see (and hear). 💕
I’m watching while under Stay at Home in the States. My goals for 2020: - Lose 20 lbs - Changs my hair style later in the year - Continue to refine my wardrobe It’s tough for all of us at this point (April 25, 2020). No hair cut since February.
You are so refreshing, Anna. Thank you for your pure honesty. You share your challenges with your teeth, which helps others to know they can be vulnerable and honest but they also can take charge of their own transformation. Bravo!
I'm so glad you said that, I stopped wearing makeup because I felt it on my skin and it made me feel less fresh and radiant. I focused on having fresh, healthy, radiant skin without the camouflaging layers. It feels so great to not have to worry about reapplying or accidentally ruining and staining or waiting all day to take the mask off 😂 I love that you try to spread the mindset of thoughtful minimalism.
I did a session of sclerotherapy in 2019 and plan to do one more soon. Years of working at reception left me with blue veins and I am so excited to finally get rid of them and wear skirts and dresses again. I'm 33 too :)
Ellen Landes What's that like? How long does it last? Mine are kind of bad on my calves (mainly on the side of my left leg for some reason) and I have one or 2 on my thighs. D:
My doctor warned me that if he does everything during one session with strong solution, it might leave pigmented spots on my skin, so he suggested to do several sessions with weaker solution.
@@goodiegoodygumdrops it depends on the cause. If you developed vascular disease after having kids, it's common and the therapy result will last forever. If you have genetic predisposition, then you might do it again later in life.
My beauty goals for 2020: Re-educating myself for good early regular habits Deep breathing and visualization, Learning to sleep well and full nights again no matter what, Light meditation and Steiner's 6 basic excercises daily, Encountering and integrating my shadow or at least make moral inventory and get things right, Find stress relief and social support, Stopping sugar/sweets/compulsive over-eating, Gain 5-10 kg weight, Get my life, home, money, rights and good name with an advocate, Get corrective chiropractor help and nutritional balancing, Have balanced enough energies for loving, harmonious relationships, Get stable enough for trauma therapy, Get access to my own life, thrive and be useful.
Thank you Anna for everything you have done to help me transform myself in 2019! I'm transforming on many levels as I recover from a difficult past and the focus of your videos has been an important and enjoyable part of the process. 💞
"My dear elegant ladies" always makes me smile! precisely I'm on a road towards reinventing and transforming myself after a bitter divorce. I'm determined on making 2020 the start of a new fulfilling life! Love your video Anna, thank you for teaching us ladies how to love ourselves and become high quality women!
I love it when women are open and honest about what they’ve had done. It helps other women. So thank you for sharing. It says a lot about you and I mean that as a huge compliment.
Since the beginning of the video I was waiting for you to say what you did with your mouth area... I saw the difference a while back but I couldn't figure it out. I am proud that I'm that observant and that I know you so well. Much respect to you Anna for making this video, makes me feel more connected to you and shows your humility🙌
I really appreciate you making this video and being so transparent. I had never heard of powder brows before I started listening to you and was so impressed, I went and had mine done and I absolutely love the look.
Brave girl for putting this out there! Personally, I think you have arrived; you have achieved a very natural look, and I think that's most important. I have had bad acne in my past, and doctors have told me laser surgery doesn't help acne scars! Now that you tell me this is not true any longer, I would have it done, but I am 65, and really don't know if that's something I should invest in at this point. I do hate the yucky feeling of most foundations, though. Thank you for the encouragement, I may still consider it!
This was very fun to watch. Of course, I’ve been following al of your stories and have noticed that your skin looks absolutely radiant and clear these days, and also noticed when you initially lightened your hair. You are gorgeous. I love this little community you’ve build, and feeling as though we can all learn and grown together. Happy new year, Anna.
I love it how honest you are about all the things you do to yourself.... I like doing some things, but not nearly as many as you have mentioned. My main beauty secret is to keep fit. Smooth skin on my legs and stomack makes me feel sexy. Washing, dying hair ..... min make up, once per year cleaning teeth at the dentist ... there it is, nothing more needed. Sport and workout ... that is the main thing. Thank you for sharing.
Last year I cleared up my acne! I also committed to straight hair. This year, I want to work on correcting residual blemishes/hyperpigmentation, whiten my teeth, and teach myself how to apply and maintain my own acrylic nails
I am Afro ethnicity too, and I need straighter hair. My current hair is impossible to manage, brittle, and never grows. At the moment, planning to plait it more.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 I have African hair too and let me just recommend a book to you : Curly Girl Method. Let me tell you, the washing and moisturizing advice will change everything for you. It's water that our hair needs, not oils. Oils can only seal in water. Start co washing frequently and your hair will become so much more manageable.
Künstlerin-DAB1995 Water is key! I cut my hair after it almost reached waist length because I got tired!! But water conditioning sealing with Shea butter and cornrows and wigs was the process for me. I stayed with wigs because I avoided manipulating it. I have 4b/4c hair low porosity. Hope that helps. I’m growing mine out again now.
Thank you for your content Anna ! It’s been so motivating to watch your videos and I noticed I am more aware of what I am wearing and how I behave in front of others in public . I have also changed my fashion style , and my makeup and have been told my friends that I am more elegant and feminine than how I used to look. It’s been so good to discover you on TH-cam and I am sure many ladies appreciate what you are doing ! ❤️
I love having my hair on my side too. Recently I started securing it with some really gorgeous pearl/ rhinestones clips & I love it. I have also changed and tried so many things:D. And yep stay blonde, blonde looks amazing on you and you have "blond" facial features.
Good evening, Anna. I am embracing the idea of ongoing transformation. I am a bit hung up on age, thinking that I am “too old” to level up, but you have been inspiring me with the confidence to do just that. Thank you for all that you do for us!
My beauty goal is to continue to treat my skin damaged from acne and to fix my crooked teeth. My teeth situation is complicated so I really need to take it slow and make sure the dentist and orthodontist are good. Good thing i am getting a well paid job so I can afford it.
It's totally worth it! I regret not taking care of my teeth when I had them straightened the first time and now I have to get it done again because they have moved. But when I had my braces taken off I was so happy with how it turned out
Thanks for helping us all be a bit more elegant! My goals for this year are to work on my hyperpigmentation scarring through microdermabrasion treatments (possibly the odd peel) and to get my teeth whitened. I’m naturally quite slim but also want to step up my exercise game. Wishing you health and wealth for 2020 😘
It's truly so refreshing to see someone who is so humble and honest, yet beautiful. Someone who is willing to be so open and share their journey. You really are beautiful inside and out. Thank you for sharing so openly, I feel like I'm listening to a good friend or sister sharing! Love it!
Short lashes being an expense is something I can’t fathom in my life... I have long natural lashes that aren’t very thick so I’m often tempted to get falsies but it makes more sense to invest in a lash growth system than monthly appointments
Laiba Khan It’s a clear liquid, you apply once a day like eyeliner. They contain prostaglandines and they don’t actually make your lashes thicker, that’s a misconception. They lengthen the natural growth cycle. So instead of shedding each lash after, say 4 weeks, it’ll now stay put for 6, before falling out and being replaced. The result are more and longer lashes. And yes, it really works. And like everything that works, they are potential side effects...nothing too heinous, but maybe google them all the same. And read the ingredient lists carefully...there are many ‚fake products‘, that are basically just expensive conditioner for your lashes. The most common active ingredient is Isopropyl-Cloprostenate, I believe, though there are others, which you can also easily google.
Aoife Shannon I love the idea of that! I just have to practice with those darn things some more.. I can’t quite get the application down 🥴🤣 harder than it looked on QVC
Two days ago I was in a nice restaurant with someone and started haunching then remember what Anna said. I sat straight and immediately felt more confident. This coming year is to loose more weight, glow up my skin, papers and be more healthy and happy. Thanks Anna 🎀
I've just discovered and subscribed to your videos as a mature woman entering unchartered territory as a single ,post 60 ,self aware and now pandemic navigating individual of substance and conviction. Your topics are not only poignant for the young but also nourishing distance for the mature spirit of grace. Offering heartfelt gratitude.,✨
Your honesty is refreshing and much appreciated. Your advice is practical and realistic. I absolutely love your channel. Much appreciated all the way from South Africa. 🇿🇦
Beauty/Life goals for 2020: prioritize sleep, continue healing myself from Lyme disease/chronic illness, detoxify my colon and liver, switch to a job that I love/prioritize joy, get fully out of debt, play with different hairstyles, try having my eyelashes dyed, take more consistent care of my nails, continue slowly building my wardrobe with quality pieces, make more high-quality woman friends, and more...💃💜❤️💜❤️
amber726 Milk thistle extract is an herbal supplement that will help cleanse and heal your liver with just two capsules a day. It cleansed mine after medication for an illness.
A few years ago I had my eyebrows tattooed and it was the best! I also asked the technician to tattoo eyeliner on my eyelids and a few dots under the eye, along the lash line, as well. Every day my eyes are well defined and without makeup smears. Money well spent.
@@matzohgirl The first permanent makeup tech was next door to my nail salon, at the time. Since then I found someone else who does better work. Local salons are where I looked, and seeing their previous work, I decide. Also the prices can vary according to town, city or even neighborhood. It is a tattoo after all.
I wanted to attend Charm School since I was a little girl, my Mom wouldn't let me, I also wanted to sing Opera, no one took that seriously either. I evolved into a Poet & Artist & am basically very Earthy, but I Love watching your video's, I must have been quite an elegant lady in a past life or something. I enjoy your style. :)
I think that she can't give you this type of advice just because she has never lived in a developing country. I think it would be more helpful for you to find a lady who leveled up and she comes from a developing country. I wish I could suggest you one but unfortunately I don't know. If you search I am sure that you will find someone❣️
Elena Tania Lucely upgraded from the third world. She definitely is not as elegant and poised as Anna, but it is admirable she did everything she could to level up.
Tefera Tulu I am from South America. I am leveling up. The currency is not our friend! However... Find a youtuber you like that has a body similar to yours, spot the products they suggest and find them in thrift stores! I got a trench coat I love that was 170 U$ at 19 U$!! You could contact a company that could send you the products. Shop online, send it to their address and have it sent to your country. Before wasting money since you could not usually return the products, get the REALLY cheap ones from different brands just to check the sizes. For example there is an online thrift store that has an outlet where I buy most of my clothes. They carry designer brands but also carry other brands. I got some Zara clothes for 1.99 U$! I would for example get one Small and one Medium and then have it sent to me. Once I know my size, I would find zara hauls from youtubers that have a similar body type. Also if you shop online use cashback and coupons! You can save SO MUCH with that! I hope it helps! We should do a fb group to support each other! Hehe
Honestly, thank you for being honest about what you’ve had done. So many people lie about why they look the way they do. I respect the honesty and transparency
While all these are nice and can make you feel elegant and beautiful. Being our own natural self and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is also nice. A person who is happy, secure and at peace in herself can shine with that alone. Thanks for sharing these Anna.
It is so nice to get the inspiration to always improve yourself. Sometimes, when you are over your 30s you get the message that you are losing your attractivness and it is so important to not give up. For 2020 I will still work on my teeth to have each one on the right place and to get the beautiful smile I dreamed since childhood :) I will try to find right colors and clothes shape for my body type.
I love how honest you were about your looks and how much you improved. I hate seeing people who make it see effortless when we know it's not the case.. I agree with you we're always growing and evolving. Still think you're a natural beauty. Kisses from Portugal
I love this concept of investing in long term beauty solutions instead of short term cover ups. It’s not about the makeup you wear but the quality of what is underneath. 2020 for me is going to be looking into these types of big picture beauty.
I didn’t have beauty goals prior to this... but after watching this, I’m inspired! 2020 beauty glow up: 1. actually try and stick to intermittent fasting. I was always that person that even when thin kinda had a higher percentage body fat. Eat healthier and workout 2. Figure out a natural look on myself that still looks pulled together and glamorous, while still not taking up too much time or money 3. Dress classier and act more elegant
Love Anna, My personal 2019 discovery. So honest, so inspiring! My beauty resolution 2020 is to get dental crowns and veneers I’ve been saving for for a year. It really made me happy to learn that Anna used to have the same issue, and now she’s over it!
Anna! I made my first luxury purchase, a purse from longchamp! I'm so excited. You really influenced me to go for classy, elegant and timeless designs this year. Transformation is happening :) happy new year!
The transformation never ends! I’ve been doing my beauty transformation too and one of the things I give up is the big eyelashes I’ve done the same mistake you did and I had this poor mentality of to have the biggest ones every time and afterwards I realize the look cheap... so now I’ve been taking care of my natural eyelashes and investing in good mascaras and sometimes I use the clear and natural fakes eyelashes styles for some special events only, I’m a artist so I need for my dance performance sometimes, just a part of being on stage, but daily I go for more natural and elegant eyelashes look! Thanks for sharing for journey with us Anna!
My 2020 Beauty goals are lashes, skin treatments and maintaining my hair color and cut. I find when these 3 are well maintained, one can always look polished, even when at the gym or home.
Thank you for sharing your beauty journey and your goals! I appreciate your genuine personality 💖 In 2019 I started my own journey, finally giving myself permission to improve my appearance how I wanted to. Truly empowering to do this ✨

Agree. I think it shows beautiful self confidence too.
Me too. She’s so genuine, it’s compelling to listen to her!
Yes, right? Specially when she talks about her teeth transformation, it is kinda of a tabu.
Totally agree she is so herself n that's refreshing

For 2020 I unsubscribed to a lot of channels, but I'm still subscribed to yours, because you're one of the few here who focuses on style, fashion, etiquette and self-improvement and -empowerment and most important selflove! And I really appreciate that! The things we do to better ourselves are not always to impress men! Hoping for a happy, healthy and manfree year 2020! 🥳🎉 Cheers! 🥂❤️💋
@@AnnaBeyOfficial we are grateful for you ❤
Thanks for sharing and for your honesty!
🥂🍾
Cheers to you. Happy New Year!
I love how Anna just bluntly say 'poor person's mindset' like yes. Thank you!
Who’s Ready To Level Up And Master Their Transformation in 2020!!!🙋🏾♀️
🖐🖐🖐
☝️
I have just started mine, can't wait to keep up.
Me😍
ColdDiva My self improvement will be finding a solution to the ever increasing waistline. Do not have a thyroid gland anymore and am post menopausal. Doing bio identical hormones but still apparently have high cortisol. I would just do anything that actually worked and didn’t stress my system causing more cortisol! BTW, I have done several laser treatments, Fraxel and recently Vivace on face and neck. I wear sunscreen religiously and layer it with powdered sunscreen when I am exposed for longer! I wear it on my hands, but now I am 66 and wish I had just invested in driving gloves! The sunscreen just did not do enough! Love your channel! Thank you!
Posture is a good example. We have to decide every day, every moment basically, to carry ourselves properly. Yesterday doesn’t do much for today.
Funny how she acknowledges everyone's comment but yours. Want to know why? You're a very pretty blonde who poses a threat to her.
"Yesterday doesn't do much for today" I love that!
Well my goal for 2020 is a TOTAL MAKEOVER... I need to finally look the way I “look” in my head ... but for real.
Could you please share your plans please?
Maybe we can get some ideas fromyou too!!:)
Agreed, I want to look like my edited selfies..without the editing :))))
what r results?)
Thank you for admitting that good skin can come from a combination of factors: lifestyle, diet, and genetics!
My beauty goals for 2020: lose 5 kg, improve skin texture, find a better way to style my hair to complement my face.💃🏼
CSWLovesMusic have you put a plan into place?
And getting some knowledge ( you can follow free open courses, read books from your local public library).
Knowledge is like that magnet that will put all your external changes into the right place, it will make you more hypnotic.
MarokoJin offcourse to create something good you have to first have the knowledge to make it happen. Knowledge is key👌🏻
Let me know if you need a Trainer, 👌
CSWLovesMusic coincidentally we have the same goals
This video reminds me of how my husband always like me with less makeup & prefers my natural hair, now I get it
Consistency is key, the work on yourself never stops. We are constantly growing and redefining ourselves and that includes style. Beautiful video loved it!
“Well, okay, maybe I am over dramatizing a little bit.”
I love your honesty… demonstrated appropriately throughout your videos. It is refreshing to see (and hear). 💕
Your honesty makes you even more pretty!
Thanks for being so real!🌸
I’m watching while under Stay at Home in the States.
My goals for 2020:
- Lose 20 lbs
- Changs my hair style later in the year
- Continue to refine my wardrobe
It’s tough for all of us at this point (April 25, 2020). No hair cut since February.
Ana pastels look so good on you. And the shade of your hair color & and the make up , really so good
such a charismatic, honest and elegant lady
She looks so lovely in pastel colours.
You are so refreshing, Anna. Thank you for your pure honesty. You share your challenges with your teeth, which helps others to know they can be vulnerable and honest but they also can take charge of their own transformation. Bravo!
My beauty goals for 2020: cut out rich foods completely, and get more consistent sleep. ❤ Thank you Anna for always inspiring! ❤
Why do you want to cut out rich foods?
@@MilanTatisjjsbs because that means too much salt or sugar than I should be enjoying in one sitting.
@@anastasiamitchell3855 thank you
I started using The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% and Zinc 1% every morning in 2019 and I've seen a noticeable difference in my pore size.
cswhitwell where do I get these? I have huge pores!
Pam Warren you can look online, cult beauty beauty bay
Hello from India 🤗 I just fell in love with the way you teach everyone ❤ and share your experiences.
I'm so glad you said that, I stopped wearing makeup because I felt it on my skin and it made me feel less fresh and radiant. I focused on having fresh, healthy, radiant skin without the camouflaging layers. It feels so great to not have to worry about reapplying or accidentally ruining and staining or waiting all day to take the mask off 😂 I love that you try to spread the mindset of thoughtful minimalism.
urp, i found amazing moisturiser: Bepanthol derma nutritive 400 ml, works as great base
I did a session of sclerotherapy in 2019 and plan to do one more soon. Years of working at reception left me with blue veins and I am so excited to finally get rid of them and wear skirts and dresses again. I'm 33 too :)
Detoxing your liver often as well so new ones don't form easily.
Ellen Landes
What's that like?
How long does it last? Mine are kind of bad on my calves (mainly on the side of my left leg for some reason) and I have one or 2 on my thighs. D:
My doctor warned me that if he does everything during one session with strong solution, it might leave pigmented spots on my skin, so he suggested to do several sessions with weaker solution.
@@goodiegoodygumdrops it depends on the cause. If you developed vascular disease after having kids, it's common and the therapy result will last forever. If you have genetic predisposition, then you might do it again later in life.
My beauty goals for 2020:
Change my clothing style
Put on some make-up
Lose 10 kg
Watch my posture
Always have my nails painted
Keep at it. Also, make sure you use nutritional creams and polish on your nails to strengthen them. Some nail polishes and varnishes can weaken them.
My beauty goals for 2020:
Re-educating myself for good early regular habits
Deep breathing and visualization,
Learning to sleep well and full nights again no matter what,
Light meditation and Steiner's 6 basic excercises daily,
Encountering and integrating my shadow or at least make moral inventory and get things right,
Find stress relief and social support,
Stopping sugar/sweets/compulsive over-eating,
Gain 5-10 kg weight,
Get my life, home, money, rights and good name with an advocate,
Get corrective chiropractor help and nutritional balancing,
Have balanced enough energies for loving, harmonious relationships,
Get stable enough for trauma therapy,
Get access to my own life, thrive and be useful.
How did it go?
@@alexiatherealtor Everything except for loosing the 10 kg! 😁 still work in progress.
@@32Ingrid Sounds Good. I’m fighting off the pounds myself. Lol
Your elegance and sense of humor is incredible! I love how you are honest, but do it in such an elegant way!
Thank you Anna for everything you have done to help me transform myself in 2019! I'm transforming on many levels as I recover from a difficult past and the focus of your videos has been an important and enjoyable part of the process. 💞
"My dear elegant ladies" always makes me smile! precisely I'm on a road towards reinventing and transforming myself after a bitter divorce. I'm determined on making 2020 the start of a new fulfilling life! Love your video Anna, thank you for teaching us ladies how to love ourselves and become high quality women!
Sad to hear of your divorce, but yes, maybe this is the time to take stock of your life and make changes.
I have rarely seen people speak so honestly about their beauty secrets. I am really impressed Miss Anna! :)
She’s so funny without trying LOL!!!
Rum Nas I agree.
Yes she's adorable!
I love it when women are open and honest about what they’ve had done. It helps other women. So thank you for sharing. It says a lot about you and I mean that as a huge compliment.
Yes! 😆
High class sass, luving itttttt
I really enjoyed this, "Transformation Never Stops", I completely agree! ❤️ Lisa
Since the beginning of the video I was waiting for you to say what you did with your mouth area... I saw the difference a while back but I couldn't figure it out. I am proud that I'm that observant and that I know you so well. Much respect to you Anna for making this video, makes me feel more connected to you and shows your humility🙌
I really appreciate you making this video and being so transparent. I had never heard of powder brows before I started listening to you and was so impressed, I went and had mine done and I absolutely love the look.
Omg I just came to check y u haven't uploaded in 6 days ... I can't survive without this channel😂😂❤️
Yes I was getting worried that Anna took a break .. finally a video 🙏
Ha ha poor Anna, she has to have a break over Christmas, ladies! 😘
Brave girl for putting this out there! Personally, I think you have arrived; you have achieved a very natural look, and I think that's most important. I have had bad acne in my past, and doctors have told me laser surgery doesn't help acne scars! Now that you tell me this is not true any longer, I would have it done, but I am 65, and really don't know if that's something I should invest in at this point. I do hate the yucky feeling of most foundations, though. Thank you for the encouragement, I may still consider it!
This was very fun to watch. Of course, I’ve been following al of your stories and have noticed that your skin looks absolutely radiant and clear these days, and also noticed when you initially lightened your hair. You are gorgeous. I love this little community you’ve build, and feeling as though we can all learn and grown together. Happy new year, Anna.
I love it how honest you are about all the things you do to yourself.... I like doing some things, but not nearly as many as you have mentioned. My main beauty secret is to keep fit. Smooth skin on my legs and stomack makes me feel sexy. Washing, dying hair ..... min make up, once per year cleaning teeth at the dentist ... there it is, nothing more needed. Sport and workout ... that is the main thing. Thank you for sharing.
You are beautiful, I very much like your style. Elegant and classy
You are a pretty lady. I like your hair LONGER . YOU LOOK MUCH LONGER
You look younger with LONGER hair. I get SO DIZZY WHEN U FOCUS IN THEN OUT THEN IN. OMG. I WAS ONE OF YOUR FIRST FOLLOWERS!
One of the most honest youtubers out there !👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Last year I cleared up my acne! I also committed to straight hair. This year, I want to work on correcting residual blemishes/hyperpigmentation, whiten my teeth, and teach myself how to apply and maintain my own acrylic nails
I am Afro ethnicity too, and I need straighter hair. My current hair is impossible to manage, brittle, and never grows. At the moment, planning to plait it more.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 I have African hair too and let me just recommend a book to you : Curly Girl Method. Let me tell you, the washing and moisturizing advice will change everything for you. It's water that our hair needs, not oils. Oils can only seal in water. Start co washing frequently and your hair will become so much more manageable.
@@clobberelladoesntreadcomme9920 Thank you very much for this. Where can I purchase this book?
Künstlerin-DAB1995
Water is key! I cut my hair after it almost reached waist length because I got tired!! But water conditioning sealing with Shea butter and cornrows and wigs was the process for me. I stayed with wigs because I avoided manipulating it. I have 4b/4c hair low porosity. Hope that helps. I’m growing mine out again now.
Thank you for your content Anna ! It’s been so motivating to watch your videos and I noticed I am more aware of what I am wearing and how I behave in front of others in public . I have also changed my fashion style , and my makeup and have been told my friends that I am more elegant and feminine than how I used to look. It’s been so good to discover you on TH-cam and I am sure many ladies appreciate what you are doing ! ❤️
I love having my hair on my side too. Recently I started securing it with some really gorgeous pearl/ rhinestones clips & I love it. I have also changed and tried so many things:D. And yep stay blonde, blonde looks amazing on you and you have "blond" facial features.
I agree, appreciating one’s own natural skin is soooo revitalizing.
You look beautiful in this video Anna, the straight hair looks great on you😘
Good evening, Anna. I am embracing the idea of ongoing transformation. I am a bit hung up on age, thinking that I am “too old” to level up, but you have been inspiring me with the confidence to do just that. Thank you for all that you do for us!
Maureen Kramanak I feel the same
My beauty goal is to continue to treat my skin damaged from acne and to fix my crooked teeth. My teeth situation is complicated so I really need to take it slow and make sure the dentist and orthodontist are good. Good thing i am getting a well paid job so I can afford it.
It's totally worth it! I regret not taking care of my teeth when I had them straightened the first time and now I have to get it done again because they have moved. But when I had my braces taken off I was so happy with how it turned out
If you can afford it, you should check out Cardi B's dentist. She did an amazing job.
Thanks for helping us all be a bit more elegant! My goals for this year are to work on my hyperpigmentation scarring through microdermabrasion treatments (possibly the odd peel) and to get my teeth whitened. I’m naturally quite slim but also want to step up my exercise game. Wishing you health and wealth for 2020 😘
Anna inspired my glow up journey- I wouldn't look the way I do today if it wasn't for Anna, so thank you!!!
Rachel Abi you look great!
It's truly so refreshing to see someone who is so humble and honest, yet beautiful. Someone who is willing to be so open and share their journey. You really are beautiful inside and out. Thank you for sharing so openly, I feel like I'm listening to a good friend or sister sharing! Love it!
Short lashes being an expense is something I can’t fathom in my life... I have long natural lashes that aren’t very thick so I’m often tempted to get falsies but it makes more sense to invest in a lash growth system than monthly appointments
T H can u please elaborate on the lash growth system?
Laiba Khan
It’s a clear liquid, you apply once a day like eyeliner. They contain prostaglandines and they don’t actually make your lashes thicker, that’s a misconception. They lengthen the natural growth cycle. So instead of shedding each lash after, say 4 weeks, it’ll now stay put for 6, before falling out and being replaced. The result are more and longer lashes. And yes, it really works. And like everything that works, they are potential side effects...nothing too heinous, but maybe google them all the same.
And read the ingredient lists carefully...there are many ‚fake products‘, that are basically just expensive conditioner for your lashes.
The most common active ingredient is Isopropyl-Cloprostenate, I believe, though there are others, which you can also easily google.
Anna recently mentioned magnetic eyelashes that are reusable I've ordered mine... Fingers crossed
Aoife Shannon I love the idea of that! I just have to practice with those darn things some more.. I can’t quite get the application down 🥴🤣 harder than it looked on QVC
Well.... you can just wear mascara..
Two days ago I was in a nice restaurant with someone and started haunching then remember what Anna said. I sat straight and immediately felt more confident. This coming year is to loose more weight, glow up my skin, papers and be more healthy and happy. Thanks Anna 🎀
Almost 30 minutes! That is a lovely Christmas treat indeed 🥰
I've just discovered and subscribed to your videos as a mature woman entering unchartered territory as a single ,post 60 ,self aware and now pandemic navigating individual of substance and conviction. Your topics are not only poignant for the young but also nourishing distance for the mature spirit of grace. Offering heartfelt gratitude.,✨
I love your honesty and how well-meaning you are when you give advice. Your channel feels glamorous with taste and tact!
Your honesty is refreshing and much appreciated. Your advice is practical and realistic. I absolutely love your channel. Much appreciated all the way from South Africa. 🇿🇦
I'm so glad you mentioned teeth. I'm starting to work on mine this year and I'm so excited! I can't wait to smile confidently.
Beauty/Life goals for 2020: prioritize sleep, continue healing myself from Lyme disease/chronic illness, detoxify my colon and liver, switch to a job that I love/prioritize joy, get fully out of debt, play with different hairstyles, try having my eyelashes dyed, take more consistent care of my nails, continue slowly building my wardrobe with quality pieces, make more high-quality woman friends, and more...💃💜❤️💜❤️
amber726 Milk thistle extract is an herbal supplement that will help cleanse and heal your liver with just two capsules a day. It cleansed mine after medication for an illness.
Keep at it. Cheering you along the way.
A few years ago I had my eyebrows tattooed and it was the best! I also asked the technician to tattoo eyeliner on my eyelids and a few dots under the eye, along the lash line, as well. Every day my eyes are well defined and without makeup smears. Money well spent.
Sarah Ofer Who did you go to and where?
@@matzohgirl The first permanent makeup tech was next door to my nail salon, at the time. Since then I found someone else who does better work. Local salons are where I looked, and seeing their previous work, I decide. Also the prices can vary according to town, city or even neighborhood. It is a tattoo after all.
I wanted to attend Charm School since I was a little girl, my Mom wouldn't let me, I also wanted to sing Opera, no one took that seriously either. I evolved into a Poet & Artist & am basically very Earthy, but I Love watching your video's, I must have been quite an elegant lady in a past life or something. I enjoy your style. :)
Can u please do a video on people who live a developing countries and also how to make the most out of our limited opportunities? Please
I think that she can't give you this type of advice just because she has never lived in a developing country. I think it would be more helpful for you to find a lady who leveled up and she comes from a developing country. I wish I could suggest you one but unfortunately I don't know. If you search I am sure that you will find someone❣️
She has more knowledge of living in a dirt poor country as most of you could imagine 😁
Elena Tania Lucely upgraded from the third world. She definitely is not as elegant and poised as Anna, but it is admirable she did everything she could to level up.
Tefera Tulu I am from South America. I am leveling up.
The currency is not our friend! However...
Find a youtuber you like that has a body similar to yours, spot the products they suggest and find them in thrift stores!
I got a trench coat I love that was 170 U$ at 19 U$!!
You could contact a company that could send you the products.
Shop online, send it to their address and have it sent to your country.
Before wasting money since you could not usually return the products, get the REALLY cheap ones from different brands just to check the sizes.
For example there is an online thrift store that has an outlet where I buy most of my clothes.
They carry designer brands but also carry other brands.
I got some Zara clothes for 1.99 U$!
I would for example get one Small and one Medium and then have it sent to me.
Once I know my size, I would find zara hauls from youtubers that have a similar body type.
Also if you shop online use cashback and coupons!
You can save SO MUCH with that!
I hope it helps!
We should do a fb group to support each other! Hehe
There are wealthy men (and women) everywhere. You can tweak Anna's advice to suit your environment. Her basic principles work everywhere.
Honestly, thank you for being honest about what you’ve had done. So many people lie about why they look the way they do. I respect the honesty and transparency
While all these are nice and can make you feel elegant and beautiful. Being our own natural self and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is also nice. A person who is happy, secure and at peace in herself can shine with that alone. Thanks for sharing these Anna.
It is so nice to get the inspiration to always improve yourself. Sometimes, when you are over your 30s you get the message that you are losing your attractivness and it is so important to not give up.
For 2020 I will still work on my teeth to have each one on the right place and to get the beautiful smile I dreamed since childhood :) I will try to find right colors and clothes shape for my body type.
You can never go wrong with a simple and natural look!
Your open and honest disclosure is so refreshing.
I love how honest you were about your looks and how much you improved. I hate seeing people who make it see effortless when we know it's not the case.. I agree with you we're always growing and evolving.
Still think you're a natural beauty.
Kisses from Portugal
I love this concept of investing in long term beauty solutions instead of short term cover ups. It’s not about the makeup you wear but the quality of what is underneath. 2020 for me is going to be looking into these types of big picture beauty.
I didn’t have beauty goals prior to this... but after watching this, I’m inspired!
2020 beauty glow up:
1. actually try and stick to intermittent fasting. I was always that person that even when thin kinda had a higher percentage body fat. Eat healthier and workout
2. Figure out a natural look on myself that still looks pulled together and glamorous, while still not taking up too much time or money
3. Dress classier and act more elegant
Beauty goals for 2020: see how beautiful I already am. I don't do that enough.
🙏🏽 YES Girl!
That's my goal.
Bruh don't have yellow teeth and be like slay 💅
Love Anna, My personal 2019 discovery. So honest, so inspiring! My beauty resolution 2020 is to get dental crowns and veneers I’ve been saving for for a year. It really made me happy to learn that Anna used to have the same issue, and now she’s over it!
Anna! I made my first luxury purchase, a purse from longchamp! I'm so excited. You really influenced me to go for classy, elegant and timeless designs this year. Transformation is happening :) happy new year!
Ha ha, I treated myself to a Mason and Pearson hairbrush when my car needs a service! What are we like.
The transformation never ends!
I’ve been doing my beauty transformation too and one of the things I give up is the big eyelashes I’ve done the same mistake you did and I had this poor mentality of to have the biggest ones every time and afterwards I realize the look cheap... so now I’ve been taking care of my natural eyelashes and investing in good mascaras and sometimes I use the clear and natural fakes eyelashes styles for some special events only, I’m a artist so I need for my dance performance sometimes, just a part of being on stage, but daily I go for more natural and elegant eyelashes look!
Thanks for sharing for journey with us Anna!
I am so grateful with how open you are. Your openness gives me direction. Thank you!
My 2020 Beauty goals are lashes, skin treatments and maintaining my hair color and cut. I find when these 3 are well maintained, one can always look polished, even when at the gym or home.
Anna , you are such an inspiration....when you set goals you really work to achieve them.💕
I love the way you speak, the speed and color of your voice, somehow it makes me calm down 😊
voice has a colour? hmm odd
@Essence Is cool Exactly thank you
Anna--you are gorgeous. . .in general and in your authenticity. Thank you for being so authentic.
Thank you for sharing your beauty journey and your goals! I appreciate your genuine personality 💖 In 2019 I started my own journey, finally giving myself permission to improve my appearance how I wanted to. Truly empowering to do this ✨
