When you have children, they come first. They should be fed, clothed and taken care of before you. But never ever forget yourself. Maybe there’s a season where you’ll be so tired and sleep deprived, cut yourself some slacks, but always remember to prioritize yourself.
The silk femenine pyjama is a LIFE CHANGER. I feel femenine and beautiful and my partner can't stop telling me how soft it is and how good it looks on me. He loves it.
@@Julia-zz1gq I currently live in China so I got it in Taobao (anything we need to buy we find it here). Many things are made in China so the advantage of living here is that we pay for the actual cost of it. When it goes to Europe the prices raise so much (to the double or more). If you are in Europe and maybe also US the equivalent of Taobao would be Aliexpress. Just make sure about the customer opinions about the material. You can find very legit things in there, just need some time to find it. I've got two already and I'm very happy about the quality and looks
@@Julia-zz1gq Aliexpress ships out of China and the prices are still really affordable in many good quality items. The only negative side is that it takes long to be delivered
"When I start my day checking social media I set my day with foreign energy. The morning should be about myself, my goals and positivity." That got me! You're right! Thank you!
I don't understand a man or woman not showering before bed if they sleep with someone, but showering in the morning before they go to work. They'd rather smell nice for coworkers than someone they supposedly care for?
I appreciate how she values elegance in relation to self-care and empowerment. Every lady deserves to feel and be treated like a princess from time to time!
Can’t believe this channel gives out all this wonderful, basic and essential information completely for free. So generous, since I watched the first vid 1 year ago I haven’t stopped, and will never stop watching!! Thank you for making this content available and for being so generous with all the tips you’ve gathered throughout your own journey+experience. ❤️
@@-lavender-777 well it wasn't long after that that we went into quarantine with an unexpected 9month old (fostering)...so ya know...I'm at my best with black pj bottoms and nicer T-Shirts. 🤷🏼♀️ I really do try but I'm new at this mom thing, new at this working from home (both of us) and definitely new to being quarantined and being with your spouse 24/7. He still tells me I'm beautiful everyday though.
The straight hair makes her look so young, I think it's because it makes her face look rounder?? But in a good way, like a teens, idk but it's pretty 😄 Also: I already do almost all of these things, even though I'm very single atm, but they just makes me feel better about myself and I would def recommend them as well! 👌
I agree but I don't really think makes her look rounder, rather it brings out her lovely angled cheekbones and jawline. But yes, it's such a good look!:)
I started watching Anna a few months ago and I always hear her voice in my head 😂 went out to a buffet and immediately heard Anna “you are not starving ladies!” 😂 the big sister I never had ✨
I feel like at the age of 15-18 I was really focusing on being trashy (without even realizing it. It seemed to be a trend to wear five layers of makeup and revealing clothing.) but now at 19 I have honestly gotten bored of it. As a college student, and soon to be woman with a bachelor’s degree next year, I feel that role no longer serves me. With that information I am so glad and excited to have found your channel! I believe that stepping into the role of an elegant woman of class will serve me greatly when applying for jobs and in life. Thank you!
LILITH EMPYREAN you are so lucky you’re realizing this early. I don’t think I even really started thinking about it until 29. I commend you for taking the initiative and becoming a respectable lady. I will say, as a older than 29 year old I have learned that so many doors will open up for you because you will stand out in such a positive way.
goodnenss i agree with you, im 16 and sincr lockdown started ive been watching Anna more and more, and I've realised my style for the past 2 years has been extremely trashy, and at tge beginning of the year I already started changing it a bit, but now as soon as I vna leave the house agian im5going to change everything iI wear entirely, it will be a gradual process though because i dont have a lot of money
Clary Olivia another RUclipsr that I love is Christie Ressel. She has a lot of videos that go into budget friendly fashion. The most important thing about clothes is the fit. Of course we all want something like silk, but it’s not always possible. You can still look elegant on a budget ☺️. Also, do not underestimate thrift stores. I have so many pieces that I get constant compliments on and honestly they were all +/- $10. That’s including jewelry. Finally, a lot more is said about they way your carry yourself rather than what you are wearing. Jennifer Scott from the Daily connoisseur is another RUclipsr that has helped me refine my actions and poise. Between Anna, Christie and Jennifer I have learned so much!!!
Same, I’m 20 and I will be graduating college next year. I have been trying to level up my wardrobe and home goods. I have so many cheap, faded, stained clothes from fast fashion brands that are around ten years old. I have also been a very sloppy person and lived like a pig. I just had no idea of what was attractive. I really thought I looked good and didn’t realize how poor my tastes were. I didn’t respect myself at all and I still have a long ways to go, but the changes I have made make me so much more confident and clear headed.
@@clarissestanford omg, same!! I’m 16 too and I’m glad I found Anna’s channel. 😭♥️ I’ve changed my style too mygosh it makes me cringe realizing how revealing my outfits were before. Thanks to our big sis, Anna!!
The "Use your bed only for sleeping" is actually a great tips. Few years back I had a conversation with a psychologist about lack of sleep I was having. She informed to use my bed for only sleeping. So psychologically your brain will associate your bed with sleeping. So no eating, watching TV/ RUclips/ Netflix , or reading in bed for me.
More Feng shui bedroom tips (I am an expert in this arena): -SOLID headboard, good mattress, a raised bed with NO STORAGE UNDERNEATH -Have a solid wall behind the headboard (no windows), and do not place bed facing a door, TV or window -A nightstand on each side (balance). Keep both sides of the bed accessible (keeps energy balanced). -No sharp edges pointing at your bed (no slanted ceilings, harsh exposed beams, or sharp nightstands) -No fans directly above the bed -No sleeping under a window -Have furniture with legs, no rectangular box-shaped furniture (blocks the floor's energy flow) -Keep bathroom door closed -Keep plants or flowers around. Pink flowers, especially roses and carnations, are great to look at first thing in the AM. They promote beauty, happiness, and a lovely sex life. I make sure there is a bouquet of pink or white flowers by my bed so it is the first thing I see when I wake up. Heavenly!
I have a Feng Shui question for you. I get confused with this. When it comes to sleeping in a direction corner that is good for you; Do you have your body face forward toward that corner? Or do you lay your body in that corner? I have only two directions to use without facing any doors. One of them is very positive and the other is very negative. I don't want to lay my body wrong by accident. Thanks for your time!
@@violettepetals9931 the window can seep out your energy. Where I'm staying now there is a window above my headboard, so I use a rollerblind to completely cover it while I sleep
When she said we shouldn’t wear pjs with cartoons on it and washed out t shirts, I cried a little lol. But you’re right, I’m a grown woman and I should look like one lol.
Same here! Anna is so interesting and not boring to watch. There’s so many wise and logical tips that she provides. It’s a blessing to find this channel.
I love how Anna's channel evolved from being (almost completely) how-to-attract-a-wealthy-man-focused to personal development one. She uses femininity now in a sense that it's not about being/acting feminine or using femininity to attract someone affluent, but to connect us to ourselves more, to make us a whole person inside, before we step into outside world. I enjoy more and more in her videos. It just shows how much she values work on self and when she told in one of her recent videos everything that she had accomplished in 2019, I was amazed by her strong will and hard-working nature and it inspired me to work harder in 2020. She has become stronger, more educated and more confident in what she does, which is visible in a way her channel, her thoughts and visions are currently presented and therefore she is gaining more popularity day by day. I want to have (and I do) a high-value man by my side, however what I love is that she is showing us that personal development and working from the inside out is what's important in being first happy with yourself and in the end, in attracting someone of a value. I want to thank her for her time and energy, as well as providing us with actually useful tips that we can implement in our lives to feel more feminine, be more successful and live a happy, content and, perhaps even affluent, life.
I study fashion and you might like to know that silk isn't only good for your skin because of the gliding. Cotton can absorb water and silk can't so your skin and hair stay hydrated during the night and your hair and skincare products don't disappear during the night. ❤️
I've had silk pillow cases since I was a teenager because of my kinky hair, I even had one to travel with so I didn't have to use a silk scarf or bonnet. It wasn't until later that I knew it was also good for my skin! It's great everyone should have one!
Oooo I am looking into purchasing some silk pillow cases because I am sick and tired of bonnets! In your opinion, do you think I could get away with purchasing satin pillow cases?
I’m chinese. We somehow believe in Fengshui. In the bedroom, we never place bookshelves in front of the bed, we dont put our beds too close to the window (middle of the room is ideal). I know some of my friends say they leave a gap between the bed’s headboard and the wall behind it. So energy flows around the bed.
Thats very interesting. I loved to sleep next to the Window. Had the best sleeping exoeriences for 20 years. Since i moved in with my boyfriend in a house the bed is in the middel like everybody say "the perfect place" . And i can't sleep. Just when i'm really exhausted. But i never feel well rested. I could never find good sleep in hotelbeds when the bed is in the middel. It kinda feels like your food on a plate.
I agree it looks very nice, I would suggest a bit more blending of the tan because it looks a bit patchy on some ares, but nothing bad, I love how she always reinvents her appearance, it's very inspiring 😍
Lia Lenore I don’t think you know what getting a tan means. It doesn’t matter if it’s barely a shade darker, you get a tan from the sun (or any other ways)
Silk is supposed to be warmer than cotton, and I find I'm more comfortable (and just as warm) in silk jersey than in cotton jersey. Maybe get some really nice wool blankets, or a wool or down duvet?
I love my silk pillowcases! Ever since I made the switch I've been gifting them to all the women in my life. Most recently I brought a silk pillowcase to a holiday party as my Secret Santa gift, and the recipient was delighted. I enjoyed the video!
I have been a long time Alpha, feminist and often times given myself masculine traits for respect. You have changed my entire world. Thank you for all this (free) information. You’re helping me understand so much about being an elegant feminine woman that I’ve always felt inside. It’s going to def take some time to change some of my habits but I’m ready! Thank you
It's specially difficult if you grew up in a house full of men that teased you for wanting to act feminine like I did. We are all queens, we have just not have the proper surroundings to feel or act like one. Good luck on your personal development!
I had the exact opposite situation, a house full of women, like in the case of Nietzsche. Believe me this works both ways. I totally understand your feelings. I created hardships for myself and pushed myself very hard to develop my masculinity. I do not regret it.
Being a feminist doesn't mean being masculine, leadership and confidence and whatever personality trait you call masculine is "human" it doesn't make you a man if you had it.
Feng Shui tip: - Put your toothbrushes in the shelf instead of leaving it on a sink. - Close the toilet seat because of Chi and good energy flashes out. Also REMEMBER to turn on the aeroplane mode on your phone before sleeping and also take out your Wi-fi from the socket. Helps with electronic smog. Thank You for your videos! They open my mind on things I would like to be better at. You are doing a great job! Thank You ☺️
Marysia I always turn on the airplane mode on my phone before going to bed without even knowing that it’s healthier. I’m just so anti social, I don’t want anyone calling/texting me throughout the night/morning hahah
@@rayasaya6803 According to feng shui, various accessories (cosmetics, brushes, combs, electrical equipment such as a dryer or curling iron) left in a visible place disrupt the flow of energy, which adversely affects our well-being. 😊
@@habalaha1872 Yes, it is also another great reason to turn on an aeroplane mode. We are surrounded by so many electricity during the day so going to bed should be about relaxing and resting. I also leave my phone and any electric devices outside my bedroom (now when I hear the alarm clock ring in the morning I need to get out of bed, turn it off and get going instead of spending another useless 30 minutes in bed.
If the argument isn't over after an hour, then analyze what is really going on. Maybe the real problem isn't what you're fighting about. The real issues rarely get addressed because they're harder to talk about. Open discussion about what is really bothering us could eliminate most fights.. No argument is worth going to bed mad. My husband an I argue probably once a month over stupid stuff, and for two reasons. One, we've been super stressed with our daughter and two for the make up sex to follow. We don't argue we discuss and it's not easy to hear his complaints about me but I try harder to change for him because I love and respect him and want to be a wife he can be proud of. He does the same for me. Working together and changing for your spouse is what a marriage is about.
I would add, make your bed every single morning (properly, not sloppy), and make sure your sheets and bedding is clean! Switch out your sheets regularly and have a good laundry routine for your bedding.
Thank you for pointing out the cleanliness. I am someone who NEVER goes to bed without a shower, teeth flossed and brushed, skincare done, etc. I don't understand how so many people I know are out all day, even in sweaty clubs, then just get in bed. I don't want to bring everyone's germs in my bed. Absolute cleanliness in my partner is a non negotiable. It's actually what attracts me most to someone when I meet them.
@@XMissGX The dirt, bacteria, oil,and texture from all day causes clogging of pores, which lead to breakouts. You should definitely consider taking it off before bed.
@@gabyurbina9120 not to metion, all the carcinogenic/pollution material that gets stuck to your makeup throughout the day! All of that aids/causes ageing!!! 🙅
I love your content! It’s never snobby, you never show-off, everything is delivered so clear and balanced. It’s really stand-out amongst others reviewing things on you tube - thank you!
Honestly, this is such a great self-love advice video. Especially during tough times, where your mood is low and being lazy is the easier option. You fail to realize that being like this just sends you down a rabbit hole of depression. Yet following these routines really help shift you out of these moods by investing in yourself. I especially love how you invite women to express their femininity. I myself can be quite a tomboy and sometimes don't even know or forget how to deal with my feminity. Watching your videos has helped me so much with this. Anyway! I can't wait to see more self-investment videos from you!
I told my partner about this video, and I don't know why but he got really excited about the silk pillowcases, anyway now we have a nice pair of silk pillowcases to sleep on 😂 Thanks Anna!
I am from Hong Kong and all those feng shui masters tell me never to place a mirror directly in front of your bed. Because mirrors are thought to bounce energy around the bedroom, which may result in restlessness and amplify worries. Your bedroom should not have any prickly plants like cactus, it is going to affect your health!
my dresser at the foot of my bed has a big mirror attached to it and there's a vanity mirror and a wall mirror next to each other on the left side of my bed. is that bad?
I needed this advice. Because I grew up poor I tend to hold on to things till they are fallling apart, especially pjs. And I will run myself ragged so I’m too tired to do anything but pass out. These are really self-care advice.
I'm by no means trying to be an elegant lady, but these videos are so awesome. I always find at least one takeaway or tip that ends up helping me or improving my quality of life in some way. Love the channel!
I love your videos 😍 Recommendations for new content: - hairstyles that you do - Do you do sports? Which exercises do you do? If you’re going to the gym: how should you behave in the gym? - How do you organize your day and do you have any tips? - Tips for being a host (How should you invite people, which food/drinks to offer, how to organize your party/meeting etc.) - Your Must-Haves in the wardrobe (in general or e.g. for winter or upcoming spring) - How can you look elegant without make-up (e.g. when you sleep over at your partner’s house for the first time, when you’re going somewhere and maybe don’t have the time to put on make-up)?
Hi. Obviously I'm not Anna. But when you asked about looking good without makeup, my suggestion is to stay out of the sun, find a good dermatologist and a good hairdresser.
lisar915 R Thanks for your recommendation! I feel like everybody tells you to stay out of the sun, but I feel sooo much prettier when I’m tanned 😫 And also, I’m not talking about extreme exposure to the sun for many hours everyday, but I think sun is actually very healthy for you! I may sound like a conspiracy theorist to some when i say this, but I think it may be a myth 😂
Feng Shui tip 1.) No family or friends photos in the bedroom. Keep bedroom photos to yourself and your partner or husband. If you keep photos of anyone besides that in your bedroom you are inviting their energy in and into your relationship meaning they will cause friction and come between you and your loved one. Family photos are definitely only meant for the living room. 2.) Keep your home as clutter free as possible cluttered house cluttered mind they believe.
@@ingrid9635 ... LoL so true! 🤣 Imagine how an elegant lady would feel with her partners dead wife's photo on the dresser watching all the very private naked action going on! 🤢
When I have a partner, I don't wait till bed for bathing. I take time around 5 30 or soon before my man gets in from work. That way I am clean from the minute he walks in until bed time.
These etiquette come from a point of self-respect. When I got married, I learned to respect my partner. Now, it's more respect for myself, and consideration for my partner, or roommates, depending on the situation. As for sleeping in activewear, it's just gross! Keep up the good work
Never done it myself, but when I worked in the hotel I had to change sheets on bed. You can imagine how gross if was when I was removing the duvet and pieces of pizza fell out 😳
Ana, you're a friend in my head! I'm so happy that I apply most of your recommendations since my early 20s. They used to call pretentious but I'm so pleased that I am on the elegant path.
I've been practicing Feng Shui for about 20 years and have had the most fantastic results. Most of it made so much sense to me, however I questioned the "why" of many principles I studied. Mostly I decided to trust the process of these VERY specific ancient rules. I couldn't have been more surprised or pleased with my results. One thing I found particularly interesting, and many of the Elegant Ladies reading this may as well, applied to our handbags! Regardless if your bag has small "feet" on the bottom, Ladies.... Never, NEVER, place your bag on the floor. Even in your own home or closet. Similarly, placing some interesting or beautiful stones/pebbles in the bottom of all basins and drains, and either incorporating some stone into the flooring of bath/restrooms, or if that isn't possible, simply placing some of the same stones or pebbles around the base of the commode/bidet. I absolutely loathe devices of any kind in the bedroom. Or while dining. It's absurd. Never, under any circumstance, place the headof your bed on a wall that has a toilet on the opposite side. It's gross and can even contribute to many health issues. Finally, perhaps my favorite thing I learned is how to combat anxiety, stress, and even depression by becoming a proper "tree hugger". That's right 😊 hug a tree. Get outside. To actual nature. Reconnect with the Earth's energy. It's powerful. Take your shoes off in a lovely garden or park,maybe even just a small patch of well loved lawn. Concentrate on the vibrations of fresh clean energy coming up out of the ground. Find a tree. A lush healthy tree with which you may feel unusually drawn to. Hug it. Literally put your arms around it. Think uplifting and positive thoughts about the tree. Admire its strength and beauty. You can even talk to the tree. Thank them for the air we breathe. Gratitude goes a long way. You may want to do this last bit in relative privacy lol, or else people see you talking to a tree, and think you've gone quite mad 😆 Don't even get me started on the 9/9 breathing technique 💜 it's miraculous!! I encourage everyone, Elegant Ladies especially, to brush up on Feng Shui concepts and principles. They really do make a difference.
Love all this. My integrative care doctor also urged me to ground my feet and hands to the raw earth 🙏🌿 I live in the jungle and I do talk to the plants and animals, it’s wondrous
My dear elegant Anna, it is delightful to hear you teaching the new generations how to be Elegant in every aspect. I was in the same business, you are a soul daughter ❤️ Thanks for being so generous. Lilian Deasti former Miss Argentine and more ..
Actually, I trained myself to sleep on my back - no sleep wrinkles at all! It also helps with lymph drainage and improves blood circulation. I don't wake up with a puffy face anymore. I also use bed legs that elevate the head of the bed by 6", which improves my sleep. Weird, I know, but it works.
Winter Rose I come from a tropical country so I have to shower min. twice a day. Once I was very tired and I just wanted to go directly to bed. My mom was very angry and almost hit me with broom 🤣🤣
Eva Lin J I think that topic is just too personal and very difficult to give advice on, as I really don’t think there is a wrong or right way. Like honestly who’s thinking about etiquette when they’re getting intimate with their partner.
@Nina Anwamane How about hygiene, being respectfully appropriate with each other, being considerate about what the neighbors are forced to listen to, setting and maintaining one's own boundaries and honoring the other person's, not telling tales outside the bedroom, not answering the phone while you're having fun with your partner, etc?
Dear Anna I am a 25 year old girl and i am soo very happy to find your channel and i highly appreciate what you say . I am discovering a new side of ME through you Love and respect
Some basic Feng Shui in bed room in my place (Hanoi, Vietnam) and the reasons: - Do not place a mirror in bed room. If it must be there, do not place the mirror opposite the bed or the door. (In low light condition, the movements reflected by mirrors makes you worry, insecure, can't keep a peaceful moment...) - Bed room shouln't be too big. The suitable area is about 10m2/person. (In a huge bedroom, you tend to bring in more stuff distracting your sleep. And, your live-energy can't cover the whole room, leaving space for bad energy to pervade) - Do not place in bed room: plants, fish bow/tank, water fountain,...things related to water (They can caused mold, germs...) - The bed should have emty area underneath (To make sure the air can circulate well) - The bed should be placed close to a steady wall, do not direct the door but still can see the door easily. Shouldn't be near a window (To protect you and your sleep. Door and window could have some surprise elements that startles you)
The bed room is for romance and sleeping.... no tv, no phones, no work and no arguments in the bedroom! If you need to to talk about an issue move it to another room!
Being a feminine soul that was raised by a woman with wounded masculine energy, these are so helpful. I am 19 years old and have no role models of elegant women. Thank you !!!!
That's a shame. I love both beautiful silk sleeping garments and those with cartoon characters (and my twins like it, too). Sometimes I'm in the mood of being a perfect lady even when nobody sees me (most of the time, that's the case, as I mostly run my business from home, but with daily video meetings), and sometimes I want a comfort of my Spunch Bob pyjamas 🙂 Somehow I manage to balance both versions of myself.
Olga Pogozheva Me too! Sometimes I’m a real “ elegant lady” Anna would approve of, other times I’m watching Netflix in my old tshirt scrolling through Instagram!
Prinzessin auf der Erbse I agree, but then we also have to strive to become a better version of ourselves. Whatever that means applied to each individual 🙂
I used to live in Geneva. Rumour had it when I came back to my town in England that I had been to finishing school ! This was because I was elegant even before I went. ( I had actually worked in a 5* hotel ) Although this was many years ago I think I gained lots of things from ladies around the city . Thank you for your videos I enjoy watching them.
Feng Shui! Based on what I’ve read, hear are some bedroom do’s and don’ts according to feng shui literature. •never keep water or pictures that show water in the bedroom (paintings of the sea, fish tanks, water features) as this is bad for financial luck. Lots of blue is also bad as it mimics the energy sent from water. A blue roof on a house is also bad for finance luck. • women should never keep plants or flowers in the bedroom (including pictures of them) as this is bad for romance luck. • never sleep with a mirror facing your bed ( avoid reflective surfaces in the bedroom as much as possible) as this is bad for romance and can lead to infidelity. •every person has a Kua number which determines whether they are an east or west person. This means that when you sleep your head has directions that are lucky for it to be pointing, and positions that are unlucky. Always use the main breadwinners best direction if sharing a bed. •shelf’s and pointed furniture can cause harsh energy flow which is inauspicious • never position your bed against a window (your head should never point toward a window while sleeping) • the wall that your bed touches, should never be shared by a toilet on the opposite side. •never sleep with a rail, chandelier or anything harsh hovering above your head.
Every home I've had has required that the head of the bed be placed against a window, unfortunately. I do keep the windows close-curtained, but that's about all I can do about it. Mirrors can scare our souls that wander while we are asleep, I've read.
Grace I’m sorry but what you stated as “bad luck” is simply your opinion and lacks scientific credence. For lack of better words, it’s bad taste to believe such fairy tales.
Roman, I agree. My bedroom is painted in a light blue. It’s a soothing color. Financial instability is caused by poor money management not the color of a bedroom wall.
Only using your bed for sleep is actually a really good advice, especially now when most of us work/study from home. Having a set workplace or study area in your home helps you focus, and using the bed only for sleeping makes the mind delineate which place is your work area and rest area. This isn't just about being elegant, it's also about preventing burn out because of working/studying from home. Also, you're inviting insects to your bed when you eat there 😅 It's quite unsanitary to do that, like not showering before bed.
Cleanliness in the bedroom is so important even if you are single. Shower before you get into bed and change your sheets and blankets often. Also, I love perfume and have gotten complimented about the way I smell on may occasions. I think that many people neglect wearing scents and it's a shame. For me, it's the finishing touch that you need with your outfit, makeup, shoes, jewelry, etc or you're not complete. I also love clean men who wear good cologne. Just remember to not use too much. Also, invest in good scents and nothing cheap or you will be doing yourself a disservice. Quality perfumes/colognes are worth the price.
I remember in middle school thinking that I always needed to wear nice underwear and be clean always in case of emergency and paramedics had to remove clothing in front of everyone. This still holds true to me in adulthood. Always be how you want to look in case something happens. The best part is it makes me feel beautiful. Always.
Beautiful Anna❤️I salute you for your work and everything you’re teaching us...I am an almost 20 years old girl and these videos are what our generations need...women before used to teach these good manners and morals to their daughters and dont know why they stopped...some things are just not relative good manners are really not relative...We need to embrace our femininity because it is a great power in the hands of those who know how to use it...i am a very good combination of masculine and feminine myself...my ego is so big that i was a strong believer that a girl should fight for herself and work for herself (she should)but the more i grow up the more i find that to be very limiting and supresses the beautiful role a man has in a woman’s life...this is beyond money... this is not about “grabbing a rich man and doing nothing” but rather that a good woman deserves a man who has it all and a good woman should have an ambitious caring loving man on her side ... A good woman is a gem herself so why not taking what she deserves and not settling for non ambitious men
Paola Gjipali I wish I could like your comment more than once: it reflects exactly what I think. I'm an eighteen year old woman, glad to see that there are women of my generation who think like me! I'm very grateful for this elegant community that brings us together :)
I love that you added Feng Shui to your list of important routines in your bedroom. When you were on the second item of cleanliness and freshening up, I thought how important Feng Shui is in the bedroom and how cleanliness is so key to self. It IS the place we get our rest and attract our partner. I’ve been practicing Feng Shui in the past 7 years and found that it has lead me out of an unhappy marriage and has attracted more love into my life. Thanks for sharing!
Anna, I love all your videos and even though I've been practicing most of the things you teach for many years, in each video, I always learn a few things from you and adopt them.I don't do any of these things in bed but I do read and meditate as part of my bedtime. Reading in bed and meditating right before I close my eyes for the night, helps me sleep. I'm also guilty of doing work on my laptop but I recently started changing this habit. I've been sleeping with a satin or silk pillow case for many years now. In fact, for Xmas, one of my good friends gave me a set of satin pillows and eye mask (she said she thought about me when she saw the set and had to buy it ). Some of my friends make fun of me for being "So picky," especially with showering "Too much" and wearing elegant satin sleepwear.
Anna, I am very proud of you! It is a delight to watch a classy lady changing the world for the better. Please include lots of comments about good manners towards other people in a society. All the best wishes ❤
i'm happy you mentioned feng shui. my family has a trusted feng shui master but didn't take him seriously until i had sleeping issues. when i changed my bedroom placement based on my kua numner, i never had insomnia ever since
Anna won't like this, but I usually sleep in active wear. It's a habit I got into when was in the Army. I had to wake up early to report for physical training. I do wear lingerie when I don,t have to wake up early the
I have NEVER heard or known anyone who sleeps in their active wear... What even is this? Sleep in the same clothes that you are training in? My brain cannot compute this, lol... Also, if you are disciplined enough to wake up early and train first thing in the morning, surely you are disciplined enough to just... get out of your pajamas and put on your gym clothes, no? 🤔 I am so confused
Elina L. I’ve only done it once in high school when I slept over at my big sisters house. I don’t think I had brought pjs but we were going hiking super early in the morning so I just slept in my active wear so I could get every minute of sleep 😂 but I can’t imagine someone doing it every night lol
I'm gonna reveal a secret, I was sleeping in my fresh next day clothing when I was in the boyscouts group, so when they were coming to wake us up (in the worst way possible) I was already ready, jumping down my bunk bed (yes, I'm luky I'm agile) and run out before the others to get extra cookies for breakfast (that I traded for houseworks with the most gluttonous children) ;)
It's actually a common tip for people who struggle to have a fitness routine and need to lose weight. If you have these problems it might be a good trick to be motivated in the morning, but obviously the goal should be to get a routine so that you can sleep in pyjamas and get dressed for sports as a normal person ;)
@@Anna-fw7lm again, this is more of an exception than a rule 🤷♀️ A girl in girl scout training is different from a young woman in elegant, adult woman training. 😉
You Sleep Better Naked Sleeping Naked Reduces Stress Sleeping Naked Builds Confidence Sleeping Naked Is Healthier Silk sheets and pillow cases let the body breath
Sick. At least when you have children. Sure they should always know on the door... but still, you should go to bed in decent comfortable clothes in case you have to rush out of your bedroom in the middle of the night for any urgent reason.
@@starlitetimes6361 sleeping naked is sick? Are you really that prude to call a natural, naked body sick? Wow. Wow indeed, this is a new level of stupid.
OMG love this video. I changed my sleepwear last year and feel so much more elegant! My husband loves all the silky fabrics and I just feel more attractive. Also, we don't keep a tv in the bedroom - it is a real intimacy killer. Wow, people would really sleep in their workout clothes and then go to the gym? LOL that is hilarious!
This is very informative and logically well explained. Thanks for posting this. The no-devise-in-the-bedroom policy is something my wife and I should consider doing not only for the mental health of ourselves but also for our small children. I appreciate you raised my awareness for a consideration of the meaning of being respectful toward others who are close to you. I also enjoyed your ZARA video and look forward to more to come.
Your no devices rule is a very good idea! I will try to convince my partner to do that. You seem like a very nice couple. It's great that you improve yourselves together even though you are already "on top". This shows that your tips are not only about becoming rich, small things like these can be achieved in any stage of life and those are the ones that truly shape your personality and uplift yourself as a person.
I am insulted! However, you do it in such a humorous realistic, logical manner I find myself laughing at myself and it's alright. I appreciate all your tips. Thank you for sharing.
My grandma said being elegant isn't about buying expensive stuff but simply taking care of yourself and what you have.
I agree with your grandma Audraelynne
and the way you carry yourself 💖
❣️ Grandma was right
That's cool I'ma screenshot you're comment
I definitely agree with your comment.
“The morning should be about yourself not others”
Bravo!
round of applause
its not when you are a mom
That was my favourite rule!
I gave self a new rule to not check phone until ten. Find more peace in doing that.
When you have children, they come first. They should be fed, clothed and taken care of before you. But never ever forget yourself. Maybe there’s a season where you’ll be so tired and sleep deprived, cut yourself some slacks, but always remember to prioritize yourself.
The silk femenine pyjama is a LIFE CHANGER. I feel femenine and beautiful and my partner can't stop telling me how soft it is and how good it looks on me. He loves it.
where did you get yours?
@@Julia-zz1gq I currently live in China so I got it in Taobao (anything we need to buy we find it here). Many things are made in China so the advantage of living here is that we pay for the actual cost of it. When it goes to Europe the prices raise so much (to the double or more). If you are in Europe and maybe also US the equivalent of Taobao would be Aliexpress. Just make sure about the customer opinions about the material. You can find very legit things in there, just need some time to find it. I've got two already and I'm very happy about the quality and looks
@@Julia-zz1gq Aliexpress ships out of China and the prices are still really affordable in many good quality items. The only negative side is that it takes long to be delivered
Julia check out Lunya. Their silk sleep wear is fabulous!
Make sure you buy more than one. ;)
8. Elegant ladies never sleep in their makeup.
Πέθανα😂 φυσικά και έπρεπε να το πεις😂
NO ONE should ever sleep with makeup on

I don't understand a man or woman not showering before bed if they sleep with someone, but showering in the morning before they go to work. They'd rather smell nice for coworkers than someone they supposedly care for?
I workout in the morning and shower twice. After the gym and before bed. I feel like it is too much but can't imagine going to bed without showering.
Right!! I couldn't imagine letting someone who worked all day crawl into bed with me before showering. Have good hygiene & wash yo self 😷 nasty
I know!
It's not a matter of smelling nice for co workers. Men with fine/oily hair have to shower in the morning
Omg yesss...
Silk pillowcases also protect your hair. Black women have been doing this for years

Lesson 1:Don't stop doing what pleases a husband, because a SINGLE woman told you to.❤
The straight hair makes her look so young, I think it's because it makes her face look rounder?? But in a good way, like a teens, idk but it's pretty 😄
Also: I already do almost all of these things, even though I'm very single atm, but they just makes me feel better about myself and I would def recommend them as well! 👌
👍🏾
I agree but I don't really think makes her look rounder, rather it brings out her lovely angled cheekbones and jawline. But yes, it's such a good look!:)
First thing I told her when I saw her with straight hair
best look ever! and the healthy tan... so youthful!
@@eleanorthereader this happens to me as I have a very angular face
I started watching Anna a few months ago and I always hear her voice in my head 😂 went out to a buffet and immediately heard Anna “you are not starving ladies!” 😂 the big sister I never had ✨
I was the same. Ana said you should not eat all that! (IN MY HEAD)
Lol, i can relate to that. Thank you Anna
😂😂😂😂😂
The modern Day hippy this is so real! Haha
Do you know how many times in a day I hear in my head “My dear elegant ladies...”? 😂 or I think WWABD?
I feel like at the age of 15-18 I was really focusing on being trashy (without even realizing it. It seemed to be a trend to wear five layers of makeup and revealing clothing.) but now at 19 I have honestly gotten bored of it. As a college student, and soon to be woman with a bachelor’s degree next year, I feel that role no longer serves me. With that information I am so glad and excited to have found your channel! I believe that stepping into the role of an elegant woman of class will serve me greatly when applying for jobs and in life. Thank you!
LILITH EMPYREAN you are so lucky you’re realizing this early. I don’t think I even really started thinking about it until 29. I commend you for taking the initiative and becoming a respectable lady. I will say, as a older than 29 year old I have learned that so many doors will open up for you because you will stand out in such a positive way.
goodnenss i agree with you, im 16 and sincr lockdown started ive been watching Anna more and more, and I've realised my style for the past 2 years has been extremely trashy, and at tge beginning of the year I already started changing it a bit, but now as soon as I vna leave the house agian im5going to change everything iI wear entirely, it will be a gradual process though because i dont have a lot of money
Clary Olivia another RUclipsr that I love is Christie Ressel. She has a lot of videos that go into budget friendly fashion. The most important thing about clothes is the fit. Of course we all want something like silk, but it’s not always possible. You can still look elegant on a budget ☺️. Also, do not underestimate thrift stores. I have so many pieces that I get constant compliments on and honestly they were all +/- $10. That’s including jewelry. Finally, a lot more is said about they way your carry yourself rather than what you are wearing. Jennifer Scott from the Daily connoisseur is another RUclipsr that has helped me refine my actions and poise. Between Anna, Christie and Jennifer I have learned so much!!!
Same, I’m 20 and I will be graduating college next year. I have been trying to level up my wardrobe and home goods. I have so many cheap, faded, stained clothes from fast fashion brands that are around ten years old. I have also been a very sloppy person and lived like a pig. I just had no idea of what was attractive. I really thought I looked good and didn’t realize how poor my tastes were. I didn’t respect myself at all and I still have a long ways to go, but the changes I have made make me so much more confident and clear headed.
@@clarissestanford omg, same!! I’m 16 too and I’m glad I found Anna’s channel. 😭♥️ I’ve changed my style too mygosh it makes me cringe realizing how revealing my outfits were before. Thanks to our big sis, Anna!!

Wow I never realized this...leveling up means LEVEL UP everywhere!
Leveling up is a life style, it’s not just about how you look like when you’re not at home.
Level up by "buying my stuff." Haha
The "Use your bed only for sleeping" is actually a great tips. Few years back I had a conversation with a psychologist about lack of sleep I was having. She informed to use my bed for only sleeping. So psychologically your brain will associate your bed with sleeping. So no eating, watching TV/ RUclips/ Netflix , or reading in bed for me.
More Feng shui bedroom tips (I am an expert in this arena):
-SOLID headboard, good mattress, a raised bed with NO STORAGE UNDERNEATH
-Have a solid wall behind the headboard (no windows), and do not place bed facing a door, TV or window
-A nightstand on each side (balance). Keep both sides of the bed accessible (keeps energy balanced).
-No sharp edges pointing at your bed (no slanted ceilings, harsh exposed beams, or sharp nightstands)
-No fans directly above the bed
-No sleeping under a window
-Have furniture with legs, no rectangular box-shaped furniture (blocks the floor's energy flow)
-Keep bathroom door closed
-Keep plants or flowers around. Pink flowers, especially roses and carnations, are great to look at first thing in the AM. They promote beauty, happiness, and a lovely sex life. I make sure there is a bouquet of pink or white flowers by my bed so it is the first thing I see when I wake up. Heavenly!
I have a Feng Shui question for you. I get confused with this. When it comes to sleeping in a direction corner that is good for you; Do you have your body face forward toward that corner? Or do you lay your body in that corner? I have only two directions to use without facing any doors. One of them is very positive and the other is very negative. I don't want to lay my body wrong by accident. Thanks for your time!
Rose Miller why can't the bed face a window ?
@@laureneilenberg5403 definitely the one that makes you feel more positive! This stuff is very intuitive.
@@violettepetals9931 the window can seep out your energy. Where I'm staying now there is a window above my headboard, so I use a rollerblind to completely cover it while I sleep
Thank you for your comment, why no storage underneath the bed ?
When she said we shouldn’t wear pjs with cartoons on it and washed out t shirts, I cried a little lol. But you’re right, I’m a grown woman and I should look like one lol.
Are you serious?
Dorian what?
Aleah B. I was wondering if you were serious or if you were being sarcastic
Most of the elegant clothes are uncomfortable and you can wear everything and be attractice
Dorian I wear whatever to bed because I don’t bother buying pajamas. But I do want to get into cute/lingerie for sleepware.
I’m literally binge watching this channel 😫
Same here! Anna is so interesting and not boring to watch. There’s so many wise and logical tips that she provides. It’s a blessing to find this channel.
Me too 🤣🤣😂
No.6 of no devices in the bedroom, almost cost me the relationship last month.
@@stellalillian8137 Me, too!
I love how Anna's channel evolved from being (almost completely) how-to-attract-a-wealthy-man-focused to personal development one. She uses femininity now in a sense that it's not about being/acting feminine or using femininity to attract someone affluent, but to connect us to ourselves more, to make us a whole person inside, before we step into outside world. I enjoy more and more in her videos. It just shows how much she values work on self and when she told in one of her recent videos everything that she had accomplished in 2019, I was amazed by her strong will and hard-working nature and it inspired me to work harder in 2020. She has become stronger, more educated and more confident in what she does, which is visible in a way her channel, her thoughts and visions are currently presented and therefore she is gaining more popularity day by day.
I want to have (and I do) a high-value man by my side, however what I love is that she is showing us that personal development and working from the inside out is what's important in being first happy with yourself and in the end, in attracting someone of a value.
I want to thank her for her time and energy, as well as providing us with actually useful tips that we can implement in our lives to feel more feminine, be more successful and live a happy, content and, perhaps even affluent, life.
I was thinking the same thing, and you put it to words beautifully.
Oh... so THAT is why I like some of her videos and not others. These like-able videos are probably her newer ones.
I am thinking the same too!!
I totally agree! Well said.
I prefer the self development videos too.. 💯
This hairstyle is absolutely gorgeous on you! Makes you look very youthful.
I study fashion and you might like to know that silk isn't only good for your skin because of the gliding. Cotton can absorb water and silk can't so your skin and hair stay hydrated during the night and your hair and skincare products don't disappear during the night. ❤️
Thanks for this precious info!!!!
Wow didn’t realize this
I was already using a silk pillow case for the gliding benefit but now that you tell me this, I think that's even more awesome!
Sounds good but is it silk or satin? I've never even seen a silk pillowcase. I want to take advantage of these benefits so I want to do it right.
I've had silk pillow cases since I was a teenager because of my kinky hair, I even had one to travel with so I didn't have to use a silk scarf or bonnet. It wasn't until later that I knew it was also good for my skin! It's great everyone should have one!
:)
Oooo I am looking into purchasing some silk pillow cases because I am sick and tired of bonnets! In your opinion, do you think I could get away with purchasing satin pillow cases?
That's such a good point!
@@nikhefe16 yes! My travel one is satin and it works fine 😊
I'm so tempted to try it out! But how often and how warm do you wash them?
Time to KonMari out all of my old sleepwear, you're right, it's 2020 and time to be a princess.

I’m chinese. We somehow believe in Fengshui. In the bedroom, we never place bookshelves in front of the bed, we dont put our beds too close to the window (middle of the room is ideal). I know some of my friends say they leave a gap between the bed’s headboard and the wall behind it. So energy flows around the bed.
Thats very interesting. I loved to sleep next to the Window. Had the best sleeping exoeriences for 20 years.
Since i moved in with my boyfriend in a house the bed is in the middel like everybody say "the perfect place" .
And i can't sleep. Just when i'm really exhausted. But i never feel well rested.
I could never find good sleep in hotelbeds when the bed is in the middel.
It kinda feels like your food on a plate.
This tan really fits you and the hair color is perfect!
I agree it looks very nice, I would suggest a bit more blending of the tan because it looks a bit patchy on some ares, but nothing bad, I love how she always reinvents her appearance, it's very inspiring 😍
Tan? 😂 light people have very loose criteria for what tan is lol
Lia Lenore I don’t think you know what getting a tan means. It doesn’t matter if it’s barely a shade darker, you get a tan from the sun (or any other ways)
As a person living in a cold climate, and feel cold constantly, I could never wear silk to bed since it feels too cool.
Johanna JF have you tried velvet sleep ware
Same thing I just said, sorta
Layers of silk ..
@DaKingInDaNorf I tend to use a space heater but turning up the thermostat might be costly to most ppl.
Silk is supposed to be warmer than cotton, and I find I'm more comfortable (and just as warm) in silk jersey than in cotton jersey. Maybe get some really nice wool blankets, or a wool or down duvet?
I love my silk pillowcases! Ever since I made the switch I've been gifting them to all the women in my life. Most recently I brought a silk pillowcase to a holiday party as my Secret Santa gift, and the recipient was delighted.
I enjoyed the video!
That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
I have been a long time Alpha, feminist and often times given myself masculine traits for respect. You have changed my entire world. Thank you for all this (free) information. You’re helping me understand so much about being an elegant feminine woman that I’ve always felt inside.
It’s going to def take some time to change some of my habits but I’m ready!
Thank you
This like comes to you from a philosopher so it means a lot.
It's specially difficult if you grew up in a house full of men that teased you for wanting to act feminine like I did. We are all queens, we have just not have the proper surroundings to feel or act like one. Good luck on your personal development!
I had the exact opposite situation, a house full of women, like in the case of Nietzsche. Believe me this works both ways. I totally understand your feelings. I created hardships for myself and pushed myself very hard to develop my masculinity. I do not regret it.
You can be both feminist and feminine.
Being a feminist doesn't mean being masculine, leadership and confidence and whatever personality trait you call masculine is "human" it doesn't make you a man if you had it.
Feng Shui tip:
- Put your toothbrushes in the shelf instead of leaving it on a sink.
- Close the toilet seat because of Chi and good energy flashes out.
Also REMEMBER to turn on the aeroplane mode on your phone before sleeping and also take out your Wi-fi from the socket. Helps with electronic smog.
Thank You for your videos! They open my mind on things I would like to be better at. You are doing a great job! Thank You ☺️
Marysia I always turn on the airplane mode on my phone before going to bed without even knowing that it’s healthier. I’m just so anti social, I don’t want anyone calling/texting me throughout the night/morning hahah
Can you please explain the first tip about the toothbrushes?
@@rayasaya6803 According to feng shui, various accessories (cosmetics, brushes, combs, electrical equipment such as a dryer or curling iron) left in a visible place disrupt the flow of energy, which adversely affects our well-being. 😊
@@habalaha1872 Yes, it is also another great reason to turn on an aeroplane mode. We are surrounded by so many electricity during the day so going to bed should be about relaxing and resting. I also leave my phone and any electric devices outside my bedroom (now when I hear the alarm clock ring in the morning I need to get out of bed, turn it off and get going instead of spending another useless 30 minutes in bed.
@@k888k thank you!
I love her hair like this.
Same!!
Number one rule: never argue in the bedroom. Just find another place and mostly find another hour, not bedtime
If the argument isn't over after an hour, then analyze what is really going on. Maybe the real problem isn't what you're fighting about. The real issues rarely get addressed because they're harder to talk about. Open discussion about what is really bothering us could eliminate most fights.. No argument is worth going to bed mad. My husband an I argue probably once a month over stupid stuff, and for two reasons. One, we've been super stressed with our daughter and two for the make up sex to follow. We don't argue we discuss and it's not easy to hear his complaints about me but I try harder to change for him because I love and respect him and want to be a wife he can be proud of. He does the same for me. Working together and changing for your spouse is what a marriage is about.
😂😂😂👍
I would add, make your bed every single morning (properly, not sloppy), and make sure your sheets and bedding is clean! Switch out your sheets regularly and have a good laundry routine for your bedding.
💯💯 Hygiene is important! Plus clean sheets feel better
How often should the sheets & pillow cases be changed?
@@nh-wr3qr At least weekly for sheets. More for pillowcases if your skin isn't glass-like in finish.
Thank you for pointing out the cleanliness. I am someone who NEVER goes to bed without a shower, teeth flossed and brushed, skincare done, etc. I don't understand how so many people I know are out all day, even in sweaty clubs, then just get in bed. I don't want to bring everyone's germs in my bed. Absolute cleanliness in my partner is a non negotiable. It's actually what attracts me most to someone when I meet them.

Honestly, this is such a great self-love advice video. Especially during tough times, where your mood is low and being lazy is the easier option. You fail to realize that being like this just sends you down a rabbit hole of depression. Yet following these routines really help shift you out of these moods by investing in yourself. I especially love how you invite women to express their femininity. I myself can be quite a tomboy and sometimes don't even know or forget how to deal with my feminity. Watching your videos has helped me so much with this. Anyway! I can't wait to see more self-investment videos from you!
"Spontaneous one on one" such an elegant word to call it !!
I told my partner about this video, and I don't know why but he got really excited about the silk pillowcases, anyway now we have a nice pair of silk pillowcases to sleep on 😂 Thanks Anna!
I am from Hong Kong and all those feng shui masters tell me never to place a mirror directly in front of your bed. Because mirrors are thought to bounce energy around the bedroom, which may result in restlessness and amplify worries. Your bedroom should not have any prickly plants like cactus, it is going to affect your health!
ala i dont do place it there simply bc it freaks me out
The mirror is hidden in my wardrobe (no I don't have a walk in robe)

Hi. Obviously I'm not Anna. But when you asked about looking good without makeup, my suggestion is to stay out of the sun, find a good dermatologist and a good hairdresser.
lisar915 R Thanks for your recommendation! I feel like everybody tells you to stay out of the sun, but I feel sooo much prettier when I’m tanned 😫 And also, I’m not talking about extreme exposure to the sun for many hours everyday, but I think sun is actually very healthy for you! I may sound like a conspiracy theorist to some when i say this, but I think it may be a myth 😂
maybe also tips for meeting family / going to family gatherings!
Gintonic I love this suggestion. Yes Ana please do a video on this topic.
Feng Shui tip
1.) No family or friends photos in the bedroom. Keep bedroom photos to yourself and your partner or husband. If you keep photos of anyone besides that in your bedroom you are inviting their energy in and into your relationship meaning they will cause friction and come between you and your loved one. Family photos are definitely only meant for the living room.
2.) Keep your home as clutter free as possible cluttered house cluttered mind they believe.

When I have a partner, I don't wait till bed for bathing. I take time around 5 30 or soon before my man gets in from work. That way I am clean from the minute he walks in until bed time.
I’m so happy that you included “healthy habits before sleep”. It’s more than just elegance!
The point with no devices in bedroom and starting your day with foreign energy OPENED MY EYES! Thank you! 💗💗💐💋
These etiquette come from a point of self-respect. When I got married, I learned to respect my partner. Now, it's more respect for myself, and consideration for my partner, or roommates, depending on the situation. As for sleeping in activewear, it's just gross! Keep up the good work
I’ve never liked eating in bed, it really grosses me out. 🛌

I've been practicing Feng Shui for about 20 years and have had the most fantastic results. Most of it made so much sense to me, however I questioned the "why" of many principles I studied. Mostly I decided to trust the process of these VERY specific ancient rules. I couldn't have been more surprised or pleased with my results.
One thing I found particularly interesting, and many of the Elegant Ladies reading this may as well, applied to our handbags! Regardless if your bag has small "feet" on the bottom, Ladies.... Never, NEVER, place your bag on the floor. Even in your own home or closet.
Similarly, placing some interesting or beautiful stones/pebbles in the bottom of all basins and drains, and either incorporating some stone into the flooring of bath/restrooms, or if that isn't possible, simply placing some of the same stones or pebbles around the base of the commode/bidet.
I absolutely loathe devices of any kind in the bedroom. Or while dining. It's absurd.
Never, under any circumstance, place the headof your bed on a wall that has a toilet on the opposite side. It's gross and can even contribute to many health issues.
Finally, perhaps my favorite thing I learned is how to combat anxiety, stress, and even depression by becoming a proper "tree hugger". That's right 😊 hug a tree. Get outside. To actual nature. Reconnect with the Earth's energy. It's powerful. Take your shoes off in a lovely garden or park,maybe even just a small patch of well loved lawn. Concentrate on the vibrations of fresh clean energy coming up out of the ground. Find a tree. A lush healthy tree with which you may feel unusually drawn to. Hug it. Literally put your arms around it. Think uplifting and positive thoughts about the tree. Admire its strength and beauty. You can even talk to the tree. Thank them for the air we breathe. Gratitude goes a long way. You may want to do this last bit in relative privacy lol, or else people see you talking to a tree, and think you've gone quite mad 😆
Don't even get me started on the 9/9 breathing technique 💜 it's miraculous!! I encourage everyone, Elegant Ladies especially, to brush up on Feng Shui concepts and principles. They really do make a difference.
Thank you for your comment!
Love all this. My integrative care doctor also urged me to ground my feet and hands to the raw earth 🙏🌿 I live in the jungle and I do talk to the plants and animals, it’s wondrous
My dear elegant Anna, it is delightful to hear you teaching the new generations how to be Elegant in every aspect.
I was in the same business, you are a soul daughter ❤️ Thanks for being so generous.

Actually, I trained myself to sleep on my back - no sleep wrinkles at all! It also helps with lymph drainage and improves blood circulation. I don't wake up with a puffy face anymore. I also use bed legs that elevate the head of the bed by 6", which improves my sleep. Weird, I know, but it works.
This is the 5th video of yours I've watched in a row. They're so easy to digest and calming while being educational.
I don’t remember the last time I’ve gone to bed without showering. 🚿
Winter Rose I come from a tropical country so I have to shower min. twice a day. Once I was very tired and I just wanted to go directly to bed. My mom was very angry and almost hit me with broom 🤣🤣
Was kind of hoping for a second it will be 'the real' bedroom etiquette...
Lovely tips anyways! Kisses from the Netherlands
Hahah so maybe there are no rules there? 😂
Eva Lin J well I can tell you that he doesn’t want elegance in those terms. He wants fun and loose in bed.
Eva Lin J I think that topic is just too personal and very difficult to give advice on, as I really don’t think there is a wrong or right way. Like honestly who’s thinking about etiquette when they’re getting intimate with their partner.
WeKnow Nothing hahahahaha
@Nina Anwamane How about hygiene, being respectfully appropriate with each other, being considerate about what the neighbors are forced to listen to, setting and maintaining one's own boundaries and honoring the other person's, not telling tales outside the bedroom, not answering the phone while you're having fun with your partner, etc?
Dear Anna
I am a 25 year old girl and i am soo very happy to find your channel and i highly appreciate what you say . I am discovering a new side of ME through you
Love and respect
Some basic Feng Shui in bed room in my place (Hanoi, Vietnam) and the reasons:
- Do not place a mirror in bed room. If it must be there, do not place the mirror opposite the bed or the door. (In low light condition, the movements reflected by mirrors makes you worry, insecure, can't keep a peaceful moment...)
- Bed room shouln't be too big. The suitable area is about 10m2/person. (In a huge bedroom, you tend to bring in more stuff distracting your sleep. And, your live-energy can't cover the whole room, leaving space for bad energy to pervade)
- Do not place in bed room: plants, fish bow/tank, water fountain,...things related to water (They can caused mold, germs...)
- The bed should have emty area underneath (To make sure the air can circulate well)
- The bed should be placed close to a steady wall, do not direct the door but still can see the door easily. Shouldn't be near a window (To protect you and your sleep. Door and window could have some surprise elements that startles you)
In india we follow the Same rules according to positive energy
I'm changing my bedroom forniture, I'll be definitely following this tips thank you very much
This is truly helpful, thank you 😊
Oh brother what a bunch of nonsense come on now
No plant?!
The bed room is for romance and sleeping.... no tv, no phones, no work and no arguments in the bedroom! If you need to to talk about an issue move it to another room!
Sunshine Galkw I really like how you mentioned having a disagreement in another room!
Sadly my bedroom is for tv and eating junk food.
I watch these videos to remind myself it’s okay to be confident and invest in your self worth.
Being a feminine soul that was raised by a woman with wounded masculine energy, these are so helpful. I am 19 years old and have no role models of elegant women. Thank you !!!!
That's a shame. I love both beautiful silk sleeping garments and those with cartoon characters (and my twins like it, too). Sometimes I'm in the mood of being a perfect lady even when nobody sees me (most of the time, that's the case, as I mostly run my business from home, but with daily video meetings), and sometimes I want a comfort of my Spunch Bob pyjamas 🙂 Somehow I manage to balance both versions of myself.
Olga Pogozheva Me too! Sometimes I’m a real “ elegant lady” Anna would approve of, other times I’m watching Netflix in my old tshirt scrolling through Instagram!
Prinzessin auf der Erbse I agree, but then we also have to strive to become a better version of ourselves. Whatever that means applied to each individual 🙂
I used to live in Geneva. Rumour had it when I came back to my town in England that I had been to finishing school ! This was because I was elegant even before I went. ( I had actually worked in a 5* hotel ) Although this was many years ago I think I gained lots of things from ladies around the city . Thank you for your videos I enjoy watching them.
"Other people's lives" I felt that.
Thanks anna.
" my dear elegant ladies " aww wow! that hits different! I'm from middle east and i love your channel
Me too :)
Silk pillowcases has made such a difference to my skin, especially skin on the side of my face that I sleep on.
Feng Shui! Based on what I’ve read, hear are some bedroom do’s and don’ts according to feng shui literature.
•never keep water or pictures that show water in the bedroom (paintings of the sea, fish tanks, water features) as this is bad for financial luck. Lots of blue is also bad as it mimics the energy sent from water. A blue roof on a house is also bad for finance luck.
• women should never keep plants or flowers in the bedroom (including pictures of them) as this is bad for romance luck.
• never sleep with a mirror facing your bed ( avoid reflective surfaces in the bedroom as much as possible) as this is bad for romance and can lead to infidelity.
•every person has a Kua number which determines whether they are an east or west person. This means that when you sleep your head has directions that are lucky for it to be pointing, and positions that are unlucky. Always use the main breadwinners best direction if sharing a bed.
•shelf’s and pointed furniture can cause harsh energy flow which is inauspicious
• never position your bed against a window (your head should never point toward a window while sleeping)
• the wall that your bed touches, should never be shared by a toilet on the opposite side.
•never sleep with a rail, chandelier or anything harsh hovering above your head.
Grace my room is painted blue... whoops
Just Run you are very correct, and feng shui agrees with the benefit of plants, just apparently not in a woman’s bedroom 🤷♀️
Every home I've had has required that the head of the bed be placed against a window, unfortunately. I do keep the windows close-curtained, but that's about all I can do about it. Mirrors can scare our souls that wander while we are asleep, I've read.
Grace I’m sorry but what you stated as “bad luck” is simply your opinion and lacks scientific credence. For lack of better words, it’s bad taste to believe such fairy tales.
Roman, I agree. My bedroom is painted in a light blue. It’s a soothing color. Financial instability is caused by poor money management not the color of a bedroom wall.
Only using your bed for sleep is actually a really good advice, especially now when most of us work/study from home. Having a set workplace or study area in your home helps you focus, and using the bed only for sleeping makes the mind delineate which place is your work area and rest area. This isn't just about being elegant, it's also about preventing burn out because of working/studying from home.
Also, you're inviting insects to your bed when you eat there 😅 It's quite unsanitary to do that, like not showering before bed.
Cleanliness in the bedroom is so important even if you are single. Shower before you get into bed and change your sheets and blankets often. Also, I love perfume and have gotten complimented about the way I smell on may occasions. I think that many people neglect wearing scents and it's a shame. For me, it's the finishing touch that you need with your outfit, makeup, shoes, jewelry, etc or you're not complete. I also love clean men who wear good cologne. Just remember to not use too much. Also, invest in good scents and nothing cheap or you will be doing yourself a disservice. Quality perfumes/colognes are worth the price.
I remember in middle school thinking that I always needed to wear nice underwear and be clean always in case of emergency and paramedics had to remove clothing in front of everyone. This still holds true to me in adulthood. Always be how you want to look in case something happens.
The best part is it makes me feel beautiful. Always.
Beautiful Anna❤️I salute you for your work and everything you’re teaching us...I am an almost 20 years old girl and these videos are what our generations need...women before used to teach these good manners and morals to their daughters and dont know why they stopped...some things are just not relative good manners are really not relative...We need to embrace our femininity because it is a great power in the hands of those who know how to use it...i am a very good combination of masculine and feminine myself...my ego is so big that i was a strong believer that a girl should fight for herself and work for herself (she should)but the more i grow up the more i find that to be very limiting and supresses the beautiful role a man has in a woman’s life...this is beyond money... this is not about “grabbing a rich man and doing nothing” but rather that a good woman deserves a man who has it all and a good woman should have an ambitious caring loving man on her side ... A good woman is a gem herself so why not taking what she deserves and not settling for non ambitious men
Paola Gjipali I wish I could like your comment more than once: it reflects exactly what I think. I'm an eighteen year old woman, glad to see that there are women of my generation who think like me! I'm very grateful for this elegant community that brings us together :)
I love that you added Feng Shui to your list of important routines in your bedroom. When you were on the second item of cleanliness and freshening up, I thought how important Feng Shui is in the bedroom and how cleanliness is so key to self. It IS the place we get our rest and attract our partner. I’ve been practicing Feng Shui in the past 7 years and found that it has lead me out of an unhappy marriage and has attracted more love into my life. Thanks for sharing!
My favorite thing you’ve said so far for as long as I’ve started following you:
“No ladies, you can actually have it all!”🌹
You are such a. Classy beautiful intelligent lady I love this channel
And I absolutely love you you are a gem
Keep thinking that...lmao..I’m afraid you are in for a rude awakening.
Omg that hairstyle looks so good on you 🥰
Finally I found someone who loves silk and never eats in bedroom ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Anna,
I love all your videos and even though I've been practicing most of the things you teach for many years, in each video, I always learn a few things from you and adopt them.I don't do any of these things in bed but I do read and meditate as part of my bedtime. Reading in bed and meditating right before I close my eyes for the night, helps me sleep. I'm also guilty of doing work on my laptop but I recently started changing this habit.
I've been sleeping with a satin or silk pillow case for many years now. In fact, for Xmas, one of my good friends gave me a set of satin pillows and eye mask (she said she thought about me when she saw the set and had to buy it ). Some of my friends make fun of me for being "So picky," especially with showering "Too much" and wearing elegant satin sleepwear.
Anna, I am very proud of you! It is a delight to watch a classy lady changing the world for the better.
Please include lots of comments about good manners towards other people in a society.
All the best wishes ❤
i'm happy you mentioned feng shui. my family has a trusted feng shui master but didn't take him seriously until i had sleeping issues. when i changed my bedroom placement based on my kua numner, i never had insomnia ever since
I love the no device attitude in the bedroom! It ruins not only sleep but intimacy too.
I have a no tv rule in my bedroom!
“Only use your bed for sleeping.” As she films her RUclips video sitting on a bed 😂😂😂
TherealHNeal LMFAO!! i’m crying 😂😭😭😭😭
Smash
I think it's because of the topic. Usually she films in other rooms
@Sally Willow You are right! :)
Cause this video is about bed...
I don't even have activewear, I'm never active.
😂🤣
Anna won't like this, but I usually sleep in active wear. It's a habit I got into when was in the Army. I had to wake up early to report for physical training. I do wear lingerie when I don,t have to wake up early the
😂😂😂 good one
mood
Classy ladies are very active. You must be in good shape to run far away from narrcasit and other bad boys! Lol
I have NEVER heard or known anyone who sleeps in their active wear... What even is this? Sleep in the same clothes that you are training in? My brain cannot compute this, lol...
Also, if you are disciplined enough to wake up early and train first thing in the morning, surely you are disciplined enough to just... get out of your pajamas and put on your gym clothes, no? 🤔
I am so confused
Elina L. I’ve only done it once in high school when I slept over at my big sisters house. I don’t think I had brought pjs but we were going hiking super early in the morning so I just slept in my active wear so I could get every minute of sleep 😂 but I can’t imagine someone doing it every night lol
I'm gonna reveal a secret, I was sleeping in my fresh next day clothing when I was in the boyscouts group, so when they were coming to wake us up (in the worst way possible) I was already ready, jumping down my bunk bed (yes, I'm luky I'm agile) and run out before the others to get extra cookies for breakfast (that I traded for houseworks with the most gluttonous children) ;)
It's actually a common tip for people who struggle to have a fitness routine and need to lose weight. If you have these problems it might be a good trick to be motivated in the morning, but obviously the goal should be to get a routine so that you can sleep in pyjamas and get dressed for sports as a normal person ;)
@@alyssia444 aah, but that seems more like an exception, rather than a rule... So, I doesn't count. 😉
@@Anna-fw7lm again, this is more of an exception than a rule 🤷♀️
A girl in girl scout training is different from a young woman in elegant, adult woman training. 😉
Your hair and skin look so perfect
That's the after holiday glow :)
You Sleep Better Naked
Sleeping Naked Reduces Stress
Sleeping Naked Builds Confidence
Sleeping Naked Is Healthier
Silk sheets and pillow cases let the body breath
Not in winter its not 🥶🥶🥶
You can sleep naked in winter I do
Sick. At least when you have children. Sure they should always know on the door... but still, you should go to bed in decent comfortable clothes in case you have to rush out of your bedroom in the middle of the night for any urgent reason.
@@starlitetimes6361 sleeping naked is sick? Are you really that prude to call a natural, naked body sick? Wow. Wow indeed, this is a new level of stupid.
@@starlitetimes6361 for any urgent reason I have a robe
OMG love this video. I changed my sleepwear last year and feel so much more elegant! My husband loves all the silky fabrics and I just feel more attractive. Also, we don't keep a tv in the bedroom - it is a real intimacy killer. Wow, people would really sleep in their workout clothes and then go to the gym? LOL that is hilarious!
You are glowing...... thank you for impacting my life tremendously
This is very informative and logically well explained. Thanks for posting this. The no-devise-in-the-bedroom policy is something my wife and I should consider doing not only for the mental health of ourselves but also for our small children. I appreciate you raised my awareness for a consideration of the meaning of being respectful toward others who are close to you. I also enjoyed your ZARA video and look forward to more to come.
Your no devices rule is a very good idea! I will try to convince my partner to do that. You seem like a very nice couple. It's great that you improve yourselves together even though you are already "on top". This shows that your tips are not only about becoming rich, small things like these can be achieved in any stage of life and those are the ones that truly shape your personality and uplift yourself as a person.
Omg I never expected this video from you hahah I don’t mean it in a bad way
Edit: I spoke too soon
Hahaha! I was thinking the same.
I am insulted! However, you do it in such a humorous realistic, logical manner I find myself laughing at myself and it's alright. I appreciate all your tips. Thank you for sharing.
