My grandmother had a sentence :don't do stuff alone that you won't do in public because you may forget yourself one day in public 😂 better have good habits even alone ❤️
Domi, very good advice
😂 sounds like my mom
I have the bad habit of eating in front of the tv as I leave alone
love this!!
I love that! Very wise lady 💖
I love how she’s becoming more comfortable. I really like her humour and style of comedy it’s funny yet has taste
Yes. It just flows right out hahahha
I was just going to write I love the way she talk and her humor peace and love from Paris France 💚
I noticed that too. During the quarentene she seems to be showing more of her personality, and being more relatable.
Me too!
Yes, I agree!! She is really funny!!!!😂😂😂
I’m 16 and I'm watching this to be a better elegant lady as an adult in the future. Thank you for the tips 💗
You are doing yourself a favour. 💖 It's so much easier to even pursue a better career if people see you as an elegant and put together person.
Just don't judge others from how elegant they are. People can be elegant and still be really mean!
I find it's more important to be nice kind and to stand up for yourself and others than to be elegant!
Oh my!
I'm 16 too.
Love from India👏💟
@@JaneDoe-ci3gj Amna Nadira can be both. She can bi elegant and also nice and kind. Go girl!
I'm 16 too and I feel like everyone is judging me and watching me when I eat that's why I want to work on myself. I want to feel confident
46 seconds into this video and Anna said the most important thing in the entire video. Perhaps the most important thing in every video she’s ever made: Etiquette in the home is about respect for ourselves! Thank you for putting this first, Anna.
It is hard to be elegant if you are surrounded by not elegant people 24 hours.
Yes it is
But if make it through that period, you're going to be undefeated and ammune to all bulshit
You just spoke exactly what's on my mind. I try, however, to do my part by being as elegant as I can even if it's a bit challenging when you're surrounded by people who don't appreciate elegance.
@De Nox D'blong So true
This is true! I do give a high effort to stay elegant among people who can't even understand the meaning of the word elegance.
@@EleftheriaMeansLiberty so true
My class mates and people at work usually are not the nicest, they make mean jokes think it's funny to ridicule and make fun of someone's looks and like to gossip and talk for hours about people's business which are things i don't like but i would kind of go along with just so that i wouldn't become the new joke and the so called ' justice worrier ' but I'm currently finding new friends that are more like the new me
Me sitting on the bed watching her videos : " my dear elegant ladies ! " My Husband joining in : " That's us !"
Canae McCoy that’s so funny to me loll
😂😂😂
😂😂
awww, look how supportive he is ✨✨✨✨
😂😂
My dad always says "a family that eats together stays together". And we aren't allowed to even have our mobiles/tablets with us or near us in the dining room. This is always a great time to catch up with each other and help the little ones learn table manners
You have an awesome Dad!!
Same with both my parents I always make sure to put my phone or laptop away, because we have always been told it's rude we also turn the tv off aswell.
@@sapphirefarrow2345 👍🏻 good job!
I grew up like that! I’m a flight attendant and don’t even eat room service in my bed… I tried but it felt so wrong😁
my father says the same thing, except we're not allowed to speak at the dinner table so we don't exactly catch up either
My dad always says “what you practice at home is what you practice in public . “ it’s so true.
Anna: don’t watch tv when eating.
Me: eating while watching her video.
Nicky Ahgase eating and slouching too
youtube is not TV :D
ParisAntarktis exactly!
ParisAntarktis I have CZcams on my tv and I’m always watching it on there, it’s so bad😭😭
And instead of eating on the dining table I’m eating on the sofa😭
It's ironic how much hate Ana gets for being anti woman empowerment when she's literally teaching women to upgrade their lives through the ways that worked for her....she genuinely has our best interests at heart
Exactly! Modern feminism-she still has her own successful brand, business, hobbies, and is very independent. She just wants a certain level for men. If a woman is improving herself, why can't men? She is not saying don't work, just date men who make your work optional.
@@Briae honestly she's just teaching women to be clever and pragmatic...in this man's world, women can't afford to be naive and idealistic
Yeah, you are right. I do not understand what is women empowerment anymore if the traditional things such as cleaning and cooking are excluded. I mean it should be upgrading women's life in general and those two examples are basic for survival. I always pity men who cannot do those two like how will they life longer if they cannot?
I don’t think she’s anti-women’s empowerment. What she’s doing it actually empowering women, we need to embrace choices.
Where do you get the "how much hate?" from ? Every time she posts a video she has hundredths thousands likes and a very VERY small fraction dislikes ???
I think it’s good to add that it’s not elegant to use swear words. So many people around me use profanity and it’s not elegant or classy. It lowers someone’s status in my eyes. Please, Ana, make a video about this!
Or you can make it yourself 😊❤
I so agree. It is totally unclassy.
Trying to get people i know to see the value in not swearing has been unsuccessful. So in my circle everyone has been told not to use swear words when around me 😊
I use to get joy in being manly thinking it was feminism. Now at 26 I want to become the elegant woman society tells me I shouldn’t be. Thank you Anna, some day I hope to be as elegant as you!
I love your comment, I feel like the feminine and elegent lifestyle really triggers people nowadays. They call us conservative, conventional etc.
@@julia_btfl - correct, those people are just ignorant, and they sold out.
Outstanding!
Oh, it's the same for me!!
That's lilterally me too
Girls who drink straight from the bottle: She really came for us.😂
I felt so attacked 😂 for a person who drinks 2L of water per day, drinking from a glass it's not very practical
Anelly Claudino ☝🏽this.
Feeling so attacked that I actually got up to put my water in a crystal wine glass so I could practice holding it by the stem while drinking and feel like an elegant lady.
Imagine caring about that at all
😂😂😂
I like the idea of having etiquette even when no one is looking
Me too! It's definitely something I need to work on.
Same is said about integrity.
Yes! Great practice!
... Are you a vermillionaire?
Me too
I'm 15 and I'm watching your videos to become a elegant lady most fast as possible. You encourage me to be a better person every day, and I'm feeling so good discovering my feminine energy. Thanks💖
I wish I could go back to your age and change many things. It's great that you're learning from very young.
"You can still have a good time without having everybody listen to it"
Yup ❤️
Sounds like jealousy, matches her overall vibe lol
Love how straight forward she is when sharing information. No 10 minutes of blurring around just to make video longer.
Luba Oravska YES!!
I agree
I think people just mindlessly babble. So annoying. This lovely lady is next level.
I like that she is confident enough in herself, that she doesn't spend half of the video begging viewers not to be offended by her content.
@@NC-tt4gc this is my favorite!!!!!!!
My mother (one of the most elegant women I know) would wake up, do her hair and makeup and put on a beautiful lounge wear set and clean the house. I asked her when I was little (after seeing friends’ moms who most decidedly did NOT dress for housework) why she did this. She told me that personal appearance and manners should be something you do for yourself, to feel good for your own self esteem. The side effect of that was that my brother and I got to learn refinement as a normal way of life and I have thanked her profusely over the years for her example! Ladies, your children watch you most when you are behind closed doors and you are doing them a tremendous service by being an example and making manners and elegance a way of life for them. My mother grew up very poor and although I never met my grandmother, my mom always said her motto was that she may not have the best of everything but everything she had would be the best she could possibly make it. My mother and father worked their way up from humble beginnings and I think those lessons that were ingrained in my mother (and my father as well) had a lot to do with that. We are not tremendously wealthy by any means, but I can walk into higher society and be very confident thanks to the care my parents took to instill those manners in me!
I want to ❤this so many times! Thank you for sharing.
I'm drinking from a wine bottle throughout this entire video. I'll start being elegant tomorrow😏
Lol
😂 😂 😂
I watched this video while I accidentally passed wind . I feel so bad now 😂💋.
Lol
I hope you're elegant now after a year.
“Screaming like a beaten pig.” Oh. My. God. I lost it! 😂
Anna: “You wanna drink like a man, like a slob?”
Me:😔
Truth To Tell Personally I do not believe Ana meant men were slobs. Most men I know are far from slobs. Certainly that was a run on...
I would rather be a man or be manly then ever become like Anna.
Lol
THAT'S LITERALLY EXACTLY THE FACE I MADE
@@shireenesherry2872 was that really necessary to say? sheesh
Those are just manners, not only for “ladies”, men should do it too
Careful, don't make men too effeminate. Let's keep them manly.
Pink Lady yikes
@@pinklady7184 sis. A man who know manners can be manly too.
Pink Lady it’s an insult to men that you equate manliness with sloppiness and a lack of basic manners 😬
Dillon Michaels rip
“Everyday elegant”. That’s great. It’s about developing good habits.
Hello Anna, I was raised in a Strick upper boarding school in Germany, all the thinks to recommend about educates at home and when eating out in an elegant restaurant was thought to us girls; most all of us girls came from a high-class family background. It is refreshing to listen to you and enjoy that You teach this to others . Thanks for getting people interested in elegant -upper living.
She is right, you don't need to be a full blown millionaire to do elegant things. I don't have much money to spend on buying flowers every week BUT I grow my own flowers and I make sure to trim and keep them neat looking, not empress others but to make myself feel accomplished and happy.
It's not always about money or acting like you better then someone, it's about how you respect yourself and know your worth and expressing that through your actions. That's what I learn from watching Ana.
Exactly!! Elegance and class isn’t about having money. Growing up my family didn’t have a lot of money but my mom always taught to the importance of having good etiquette and looking presentable even without designer clothes. She really taught me how to find quality clothes in non designer stores.
Trust me, you can have money and still be ghetto.
I agree!!
perfectly said ❤
@P M I love peonies too, but the scent of gardenias is my absolute favorite.
She’s so unintentionally funny
@@ImkeBeekhuijzen And yet you're still here 😉
@@ImkeBeekhuijzen So you have nothing better to do with your time than watching videos that you don't like all day and spreading hate? Okay.
@@ImkeBeekhuijzen Same, i watch her for amusement
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love it!
Haha “bubbles”...I totally agree with her point. Eating healthy though (no sugar, less carbs) takes away the bubble production; trust me!
I'm so glad ettiquette still exists in this day and age! Thank you x
I really like her - she is in a league of her own. Her thoughts can be debatable, but she always delivers well and she is overall very right (in my opinion :) ) I love all her new videos!
Carola 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 She is definitely in a league of her own!
Yes, even if I disagree with some of her ideas I respect how classy and well-spoken she is.
Carola She doesn’t deliver well though, and actually seems extremely pretentious
@@genevieve5869 "Don't use toilet paper outside of the bathroom" like wtf it's not "classless" just because you say it is.
@@bkkersey93 it's classless to her. If you like it, that's on you 🤷🏾♀️
Elegance is telling the universe that i am worth the effort...i finally get this. Thank you so, so much Anna.
Madame Bubbles, your name reminds me of a specific part of the video lol
i love this quote so much💕💕💕 might write it on my mirror❤
Goodness, I've never thought of it this way!
Yes..I get zero respect from my grown children..and I know it has to start with me. Being elegant is a way of respecting myself
Wow, thank you so much for putting it that way. Something just clicked in my brain
When I took up knitting, all the ladies in the meetup were well to do. I was so ashamed of my lack of etiquette when I was around them and had no idea how to learn it. I am so glad that I found this channel. I may never bump elbows with the well to do again but at least now I am aware of myself and have an idea of how to behave. I'm still an ox in a china store for the most part but I am a work in progress.
One great decluttering tip: Every time you buy something new, get rid one one old item. I periodically just give stuff away to women’s shelters and charities. Mari Kondo’s methods are also very good on how to organize and declutter.
This method really works! Because it is not the most easy thing to throw everything away at once..
Ah that's great! Once I wanted to downsize my closet and made the rule that I can only buy 1 new item if I give away 2 😊
Yeees, also for clothes - if you hadnt wore it for over a year, or you wore it over 100 times - get rid of it! Im a student and I had to move my stuff out of my student appartment to my hometown, and everything that couldnt fit in the car I threw away and I dont feel bad about it! Also I gave most of my clothes to poor children in my (ex) neighborhood
“Screaming like a beaten pig just because you are having intimacy” 😂 Love you Dear Anna!
No animal abuse, please 🐖
@@katherineklevenow1808 True👏🏻👏🏻
😂🤣
I think one is stupid lol your bed is the one place you can do anything! That’s what’s it’s for to scream and enjoy intimacy, your husband wants a lady in the street and a freak in the bed lol if I was quiet during sex I would offend my husband lol 😂
@@annabelenko1611 thats why we spend money on soundproofing??
I love the fact that you practice what you preach. I've been noticing the way you sit, it's just ladyish. I mean truly elegant.💞
This is something I loved about a book called "A Gentleman in Moscow", he was such a refined elegant man. It inspired me to refine myself.
I love Anna...she's teaching class, femininity, and sophistication which is a dying art now days.
Canela it is...! And when somebody is seen doing it, they are condemned for it.. words like “being uptight” or “being pretentious” would be used to judged.. such a sad thing,.. really..
Yes but it’s just all based on superficiality, not fulfilling. Ironically, men (who is her main motivation) are adverse to women who are so superficial. The ones who aren’t, probably don’t have your best interest long term.
@@lw4294 What do you mean by adverse?
@@lw4294 Not ''men'' , but high quality men. You can be superficial by swearing, looking tuff and acting stupid. Be yourself in a better way, like improve yourself, nothing wrong with that.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen one of her videos on this channel- I liked it, but don’t these ‘tips’ seem like common sense?
Like I do everything she mentioned.
The jewelry brand Mejuri advocates that their items should be the first thing on when you leave the house and the first thing to be removed once you arrive home.
I WANT to wear lovely, little pieces when I’m home alone.
I enjoyed this video and am looking forward to seeing more of her content.
Love & Light from Miami ✨✌🏼
Stay safe everyone!
People be bashing Anna thinking that she's 'anti-feminist' or pushing women backwards. But in reality, the Royals, high society and even among celebs these etiquettes are the foundation.
They're brought up with etiquettes and she's just TEACHING us.
potutu potutu celebs are trash. They just happen to be rich
That is an interesting insight.
Ananda D'Aquino Such a great movie!
They dont tell you you cant love a man with no money "Annna said she couldnt"
And no money to her is less than 50 million by the way
@@YasminAsaad400 😂😂😂...
I love how Anna always encourages us to respect and love ourselves in this channel.
These days it’s a crime to be ladylike and the “stereotypical” woman. Some of us still want to be feminine and still can be empowered . That’s probably why Anna is getting hate aswell.
Demy I agreed! true feminism is embracing the choice to be any kind of woman you want to be, whether it’s traditional or not ❤️
I feel like we need to bring these things back
@Xx Xx I respectfully disagree with you. A lot of mothers nowadays don't teach their daughters any of this stuff. Of course she's going to promote her masterclasses because this is her living and this is what she's trained in, to teach. I find her not pushy at all when she promotes them, not like some youtubers. What is this red flag you are concerned about? She doesn't hide the fact that she's promoting her classes and why should she? I find her you tube video's very helpful.
@Xx Xx
Both my parents do about everything in this video and I just follow them. There's no need to generalize. Nowadays, children don't learn elegance etiquette (except for the basics i.e burping in public) and wonderful people like Anna provide these types of videos for free to people who want to live this way.
And you, a person who uses such elementary terms ("idiot" and "crap"), probably need to watch more of her videos to be more affluent yourself.
Completely agree about girls not being taught this now.. I hear very well spoken young women swearing as their talking about something casually (they're not even angry!) They think they look good, or trendy must be insecurity or something. So I don't think parents teach these things to their kids anymore its quite evident when you're out and about. That's why people like Anna are a voice for reminding us of these things, despite enrolling in her classes or not that's besides the point.
Your house looks so immaculate, would love to maybe a house/room tour as I love your style
Remember not to shout 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
IS that her house 😱😍😍😍
I would love a studio / home tour too!
You are absolutely precious! My southern mother taught me these 10 but certainly without the delightful delivery! I have giggled (quietly and elegantly) into a regal mood. Please have a fantastic day (all who pass by this comment).
Wow.
You are so right.
I lost 20 pounds in about 4 months by making small changes.
One change I made was I quit eating while watching TV.
Also, I started putting my utensils down between bites, and started chewing my food properly as well.
I eat less, dont suffer from nausea and heartburn anymore, and I feel better after dining in general.
I have never lived an affluent lifestyle, however my mother used to tell me that a lack of money is no excuse for a lack of class.
We are in control of our actions and reactions.
It does not cost anything to be courteous and easy to be around.
Money helps, however, it does not cost tons of money to put effort into your appearance.
I didn't win the generic lottery, but trying to be the best version of myself, I feel, is worth the effort.
I think that it is so sad that women neglect themselves because they think if they care about these things and work on these things that they are being selfish and foolish.
I think it's just the opposite.
I believe that you can't pour from an empty pitcher.
I think when you take good care of yourself, that you can take better care of others also.
Although I have never lived an affluent lifestyle, I have been around affluent people quite a bit, because when I was in college I was a singer and I studied Opera, so that is why I was around affluent people.
I don't know if I was just too dumb to feel uncomfortable around them, but I never really felt uncomfortable around them, and they didn't seem to feel uncomfortable around me, so maybe I was doing something right LOL.
I will be honest, when I first started seeing your videos on CZcams, I thought that you were going to be snobbish.
I was so wrong.
I just love your videos, and I appreciate them so much.
This was an amazing read!
As an overworked nurse this is pure comedy to me! 😂
😅😅😅
thank you for your service QUEEN.
Sincere thanks for everything you’re doing for humanity during this pandemic.
Bintu Adam Literally millions of lives are being saved right now by overworked nurses. We’re in a life threatening pandemic. If nurses refused to be overworked, COVID-19 death rates would easily double.
Sorry but my mother have been an overworked SURGEON for 30 years, staying sometimes 48h at hospital... and I NEVER saw her doing any of those horrors at home.
Her: "Try not to sit like a total slob"
Me: *laughs in quarantine*
I did too!!! 😂😂
She is really judgmental of the working or lower class isn't she shows her narcissitic attributes.
Haha...laughed my lungs out
* cry in slob *
Me: Lying in bed with my computer, huge waterbottle, toilet paper, snacks and Netflix,
I watched this video 5 months ago when it was first published, and it has resonated soooo well. I did everything you listed either 80%-100% of the time elegantly, except for one - talking to/yelling at others in different rooms.
Since watching this video several months ago, I have completely stopped yelling to someone in a different room or part of the house or property or office and have instead walked over to that person to speak whatever I was going to say in person. I had even forgotten where I had learned to do it. And I honestly have been wondering where I did learn of from for a while now. Silly me, of course Anna taught me! In any case, it has completely evolved my habits for the better! :) Thank you kindly, Anna
I'm watching these videos for me and for my little daughter. I want to raise her as a lady❤. I really appreciate your effort to upgrade our lives
I wish she could convince the whole world to not shout from one room to another. Seriously. ♥️👌
What about people that whistle for others like dogs? Cringe.
I wish my gypsy neighbours would stop doing this
...Sensitive ears 😣
I shout from one room to another she has no clue what it's like to be a mother, until she is a parent she needs to stop being judgmental and so spoilt. I come from a 3rd world country and i grew up appreciating the little things and not worrying about how i will be percieved. People don't love you for your etiquette people love you for just being you and if they don't accept you for who you are even if that means drink water out of a bottle slouching on the couch, no etiquette whats so ever then they just aren't real friends. And if people have time to have etiquette values then great but 1) don't shon people who don't and 2) man you are missing out on just being a free spirit.
@@whaleofathyme ikr, mine are too lol. And it's just rude to assume everyone wants to be yelled at /to
Although you may be “controversial” to people, which I can’t quite figure out why, I really want to thank you. I love my mother dearly, but when I was growing up she was going through her own issues with relationships and her career, and she didn’t take much time to teach me these essential lessons. I don’t use these videos to level up a man, I’ve already found one that I will spend my life with. We aren’t the elite class, but I know that learning to be more elegant will benefit my relationship and my life.
Katie Z same. I really appreciate when other women teach from heart. Is not for everyone but a lot of women love to learn what she teaches and I find it extremely useful.
Yea. She is wonderful and teaches me so many things. Her passion for self improvement is inspiring
Same
I am 21 and a college student
And not planning on getting a man any time soon
But still want to be elegant for myself
Same here😍
Indeed. I'm a feminist and I love her videos, I mean, some stuff/phrases may not rub me up in a good way, but overall I enjoy her advices very much, even if I don't intend to put any man above my career. And although we face many problems as women, I'm always glad to be able to express my feminity, it shouldn't a dying strengh.
😂 I watched the first tip while chugging San Pellegrino straight from the bottle. I hope you’ll be proud to know that I did immediately reach for the stemless wine glass and continued to drink my water from it.
Instead of flowers which are costly, I bought myself indoor green plants. A snake plant, orchird, Zz plant and now monstera. They help add colors to my place and at the same time cleans my air 😁
“Elegance is being your best self even when you’re all by yourself!” It’s so true, I’m trying to keep that at the the forefront of my mind these days. Eating/drinking out of packages is my pet peeve! Even when we get fast food, I insist on plating it properly and using real cutlery, glassware and cloth napkins. We usually play classical music as well. I really need to work on sitting more like a lady and less like slob. Thank you Anna!
I do the same. It really helps to control portions as well
same, i hate eating out of packages, it looks so trashy
I read a book years ago and I never forgot this phrase: Don't Yell, Go Tell. 😊
Carrie Lynn oh I like this one because I have a bad habit of calling my partner when he is in a different room
@@snethembamavuso1311
I really like that! I'm tying to teach my toddler manners and this will really help 🙂
@@glitterkitty1979 I used it with my kids, too. It's great!
What's the name of the book, please? I'd love to read it too.
You may be out of sync with the majority but what you teach in your channel do make sense. It helps you develop integrity.
I am 22 now and Anna's videos are just precious beyond compare. All of this is helping me to become a lady and an elegant lady at that. So appreciative of her videos and help .
In my family we’ve had a strict rule about shouting in the house but my husband apparently was not raised that way, what I do is not pay attention until he comes find me and stops calling my name!
slouched over, unkempt, and stuffing my face: "Now THIS LADY knows what she's TALKIN ABOUT!"
me too hahaha
🤣🤣🤣
OMGGG YES😂😂😂
Me watching this slouched over and unkept:
👁👄👁
Seriously! I’m in my pajamas, on my bed, eating popcorn. 😂. I can safely say that I have a lot of work to do.
My Mother and her sister attended _Finnishing School_ as young ladies. I was fortunate enough to benefit from her experience although I hated it at the time. 🌺
Which school did they attend?
Thankful for the understanding and wisdom she shares on etiquette and elegance. My family didn’t have clear etiquette rules for me to follow growing up, so I’ve had to learn social behavior from peers around me. Those experiences weren’t filled with any self respect or value. So to finally have a reliable source such as herself explain proper content is so refreshing! Thank you very much Anna. 💐
Darlie Tour, we watch the same channel! I love and miss you, dear friend! Praying you and your loved ones are well and safe!
Hey Anna, can you teach us how to decorate our home or space in an elegant style. So it won't look tacky.
Get rid of labels from all the products, if possible use things that can be refilled like soap dispenser for dishwashing. All those words make a home look cluttered, specially decorations with
words. “Love laugh live” for example. I’m sure she has great recommendations too though!
Yes!!
I've never got do many likes😮 it's like a dream come true.
Yes! I was going to ask her the same thing. Great idea Annie
My rule of thumb is "Use items that are timeless". It's easy to get carried away by the current trends that come up every day. With time they become outdated, and they tend to fall apart if they weren't constructed properly.
You don't have to get extremely expensive antiques if you can't. But think it through and see if whatever you're buying will carry you through the seasons, and if it will still be appropriate when you're older
What you pointed in the video is not just about being affluent, this is literally basic culture and civilized behaviour. Thanks Ana.
Yes, and not only for women but also important for men!
Exactly!
Now it sums up my childhood when my grandmother use to tell me not to drink water directly from the water bottle and I use to fear from her and do it behind her back 😅
I love your videos. I'm 35 and I wish I've known these things before. But I'm glad to learn them now, better late than never. Being an average person in a working class doesn't mean we cannot be elegant. Self-respect is one of the classiest things no matter what socio-economic status we are in.
All of those elegant things actions & tips carry a higher vibration than whatever we're doing when we're not being mindful of elegance
Well said!
A higher vibration? What do you mean
@@personincognito3989 sure I'll elaborate everything u do on this planet everything u say every person u interact with those movements & activities are quantified & measured by energy vibration & frequency for example if ur home is messy & chaotic (like mine lol but I'm working on it) that type of space is going to cause u to function in low energy & vibration you'll probably feel depressed lethargic etc...but a clean refreshed beautiful space with say for example fresh flowers in it is going to give u clear thinking & inspire u to be greater if that makes sense
@@personincognito3989 "vibe" would be another way to say it.
This reminds me of my grandmother, even at home she was always dressed elegantly, made sure everything is at its place and there were always beautiful cut flowers displayed in most of the rooms.
LackaDaisy ❤️ this same with my grandmother
lol then she is just like me😂
I wish I was like that
"How do you treat YOURSELVES?" Is the excellent takeaway from this video. 😊
I agree with your tips, although I'm a maximalist, an artist and collector. People are surprised that I can have so much stuff but my place doesn't look cluttered. That's because the collections are curated and grouped by color or theme and thoughtfully displayed. I'm a visual person, which means I'm a piler, not a filer. It's taken me years to figure out how to have everything on display but not look like a nightmare.
But I never let my children eat in front of the TV and their phones had to be put away for meals, too!
Oh, and the posture thing--it's important because sitting in a hunched or slouched position is very bad for your spine and shoulder/neck muscles. You can develop a permanent hunch and it can give you debilitating shoulder and back pain you'll need treatment for.
Anna: "don't scream to other people from another room"
Me: *laughs in European*
@emanuelle do nascimento sim.
Anna: “Don’t scream from one room to another.”
Me (mom of three boys): “Let me sing you the song of my people.”
laughs in Albanian
Arab*
Laughs in Nigerian..... Haq haq
Don’t drink from a bottle
Me: *looks at 8 open bottles in my room”
😂😂😂😂
Lmao
She s talking bout big bottles that the whole family uses but funny joke tho
guess what? dont have to wash any damn cups! :)
I was thinking the same i drink from bottled water all day 🤷🏽♀️ but if she meant big water bottles then I guess I feel better 🤣
The elegant lifestyle is all about self-respect and valuing one's self. Some people will not be able to comprehend this lifestyle. For me, it means the world as I was brought up in an abusive home and never felt valued, cherished, or loved, much less shown respect. Practicing this lifestyle has taught me self-love and how to truly value one's self. So thank you, Anna Bey. For me, these videos have more value than a topical application. They have a deep meaning and speak to the little girl that feels broken within to value herself and cherish herself.
Absolutely agree with the last one! I don't understand how some people feel so comfortable doing that around others 😂
I love how you drag me for my actions without ever making me feel like you're judging me as a person. I really appreciate all the work you do and how you continue to speak up about the things you care deeply about despite it feeling uncomfortable or the backlash you get for it 💕
I like that she talks even about the "awkward" things; It really helps a tone to improve the quality of our home routine at any level.
I found this channel unintentionally, but I'm having a great time watching it. I actually got surprised while watching this particular video because I do all of those things since I remember, but all the other members of my family do the exact opposite.
every point Anna says reminds me of my mother. she grew up in a remote area of Afghanistan without having anyone to tell her about these stuff because she lost her parents in a very young age. However, she grew to be such a quality person and elegant woman.
Instead of buying cut flowers weekly, having actual living plants is far more beneficial. If you like flower types, get orchids or peace lily. There are researched mental health and physical well-being benefits of keeping living plants around the house.
What are the benefits. I would like to know
Mutinta Munyungano peace plants actually clean the air
My orchids last for months and give me a sense of calm
@@DCInsightsbyM wow! Thanks
@@debvoso9490 thank you for the explanation
shea mar that was what I was trying to say
You did a better job
Thanks
“Screaming like a beaten pig”
This woman is spectacular.❤️
I was about to comment on that one too. What a hilarious way of putting it. Gosh, I wish I could be friends with Anna.
I died laughing. She is so funny!
Mei Yin she would be an amazing friend!!
😂😂😂😂😂
I appreciate this video also because you remind us that the way we sit, even when we’re alone is important.
It’s about training our bodies to hold a certain standard, and when we get used to slouching when we’re lonely, slouch other places as well
My mother taught me almost everything you talk about on your channel. She taught me that good manners were all about making others feel respected and comfortable. And if you let this slide at home alone then you get so comfortable that you run the risk of letting your good manners slide when you are not alone. And also you should treat yourself as nicely and as respectful as you treat others.
PS
I hate fake flowers too! And at the moment I can't afford fresh flowers but
I forage the area for pretty fall leaves or pinecones etc. to grace our table. Of course due to Covid we are not planning to have guests anytime soon BUT we deserve a nice arrangement of natural things too. So I forage our yard and I ask neighbors for pinecones because it is fall.
PPS. My very gracious and elegant mother would have loved your channel as much as I do!
“Screaming like a beaten pig.” Laughed for what seemed like an hour 🤣🤣🤣 I was not expecting this line in your video.
Screaming like a beaten pig ........ very funny and right to the point LOL
I died laughing, softly of course! Hehehe
Hazar Younis I totally disagree.
Tessa Ward Wonderful 👍🏻
Yes, Anna is quite funny. I love seeing her demonstrate a relatable personality from an elegant perspective.
Can you please make a video about hands...Nails(polish color, length, nail shape), types of rings/jewelry on fingers/thumbs and where to place our hands when we sit or stand up? A big thanks for all your help!
She made one recently, please check it out on her page
She has already made a video about that.
she does have one.
Talk about hitting home! I was watching this at my desk, in a dress, but bare footed and cross legged, with my head resting on my hand. I am so embarrassed! Anna, your videos are changing my life! Thank you so much!
Anna your personal style as it relates to your fashion is gorgeous. Your video production style is humorous with the effects, facial expressions, and example photos. Your cautious nature when mentioning “gas” proves how elegant you are. You deserve all the success and none of the hate. You are bringing back key information that women used to learn that has been forgotten. I’m more and more proud of my upbringing when i watch your videos. I don’t curse because my household was so strict (that’s what I considered it). We had to say, “broke wind”. Maybe my mother wasn’t strict, she was a lady. We never had sandwiches or bags of chips and economy snacks growing up. We ate fresh and nutritiously complete meals as a family. We weren’t allowed soda or Capri Sun type drinks. I always wore dresses which I always considered to be a little too much because my father was a preacher. I complained as an adult because I felt deprived. As an adult, I’m always the best dressed wherever I go and I have difficulty dressing casually. Maybe again my mother was just training her children to be young men and women. My husband calls me fancy because I need to arrange my meals nicely and I prefer washable napkins and fine cutlery, even if I’m having a simple breakfast. Other people have called me Bougie because of my manners. I’m going to stop trying to fit in and continue to be myself while adding some more elegance to what is already ingrained in me. Many thanks and I’m looking forward to your continued success.
I have never heard about the toilet paper 😂, never even crossed my mind to used it elsewhere other than the washroom lol
I was thinking the same thing. I'm not very elegant but I don't know anyone that actually useses toliet paper as a napkin and a paper towel. I feel good I'm at least doing one elegant thing well without even knowing it 😏
I'm guilty hahahaha I always have a toilet paper next to my bed, and use it as kleenex because sometimes you don't need a full kleenex :( hahah
Sometimes when I can't be bothered to go downstairs to get a tissue I just quickly go to the bathroom and grab some toilet paper
Me too
Guilty.🤗🤗
I drink more water when it's coming straight from a bottle
Lauren Zulu I think if it’s YOUR water bottle and no one else will be pouring water from it, so what? I don’t get it.
@@yanetcurtis5568 thank you me too. Just making plates dirty. I live alone and I barely get visitors why pour water in a cup.
@@laurenzulu2060 right especially if it's an individually packaged water bottle like i'm the only one drinking out of it, it's so pointless to pour it into a glass when an individual water bottle and a glass cup serve the same purpose when drinking water
@@darien3111 ikr. it only makes sense if you are sharing the bottle.
Darien Kim I think your missing the point. It's not about the practical but the emotional. It makes you feel more elegant drinking from a glass. Think about it... If you had lipstick on and at a meal would you drink from a water bottle and still feel elegant?
I'm not really striving for elegance, but I like to watch your videos sometimes. I drink water from the bottle at home sometimes if it is already in the bottle (0.50l), because I see no point of using an extra glass which will just add to doing more dishes.
Also, being from Southern Europe comes with being louder, although I am not really loud when I think about it compared to a lot of people 😅
You really make me question myself and its AMAZING. How much you respect yourself ♥️ wow
I have just fallen in LOVE with this channel. Finally! A modern femininity channel without strict rules and weird rituals. Yesssss 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Let me get my notebook 📓 🤓
Me too. I'm watching this, Liza Hart and bridgerton at the same time 😂... Femininity is beautiful tbh
Me too , I’m obsessed!! She’s amazing 😍Thank you & Love you Anna 💕
You are so right 👍🤩 📝I need to take my notes too..
We really need a video how girls in their 20's should dress up
I'm a 24 years old mom i do not know how to dress up
@heuheuheu hyuk hyuk yess her chanel is so helpful
Im 24 and a mom who can dresss but needs a bit more work....WE GOT THIS LADIES
MiekoNeko same
Yes!! This is exactly why I came across her chanel, I need someone to teach me how to dress now that I graduated college
I love this ♡ self-respect, self-love, self accountability
Elegance and etiquette is a lifestyle, not just a mask you wear in public, thank you for this video! :)
I didn't think my husband would be interested on this channel, but as I'm watching this on the TV, he put the volume up so he could hear it too.
I think this is so important because you can't pretend you are elegant, you have to BE elegant. If you behave different at home, at some point, you will lose your manners outside... People see more than what we let them see!!
Oh my goodness this almost made me cry! Because she has a point we need to treat ourselves better thank you!! So much!!
I love how Anna talks about everything. Not just how to talk, walk or dress.
I died when she said screaming like a beaten pig.
Me too
Me too
Omg! I had to come to the comments to see if anyone mentioned this 🤣🤣🤣
Anne: "Number 3: Eating in front of the TV."
Me: *eating ice cream* "...oh..."
I was eating cereal the moment I was watching this video, haha.
Donna Melena lol.
She caught me in #7; I was slouching 😂😂
Lol I eat in front of a tv every and drink water from water bottle....
What about snacking in front of tv like popcorn
I love you !!! Where have you been all this time ! I,m Romanian and everything my parents taught me about etiquette,respect,generosity and humbleness is finding common ground on your channel .Thank you Anna,keep up the good work of "redifying" a lady term in this generation
This video is the one that has influenced me the most. I'm guilty of doing everything you point out as being inelegant. When I'm home, I immediately behave in a way that will maximize my comfort. I realize that all my at home behaviors are in need of an upgrade. Thank you for the video.
I was chatting with a guy some time ago... after some days of talks he decided that it was ok to send me an audio message of his bubbles... 😀 I deleted his number right after 😄
Good move LOL
OMG was it an accident or on purpose? I mean feeling comfortable with a person is one thing but...
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hai fatto bene!
Omg, you wrote "fart", and not "bubbles" 😱😱😱
You are not elegant enough!!!
😊
