    As a 21 year old let me just say PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE VIDEOS! Lol my family will never teach me these things as they do not know themselves. These videos are very helpful as I’m trying to navigate my 20s. Thanks so much for the great content! ❤️

  • @juliamihajlovich
    @juliamihajlovich 6 месяцев назад +5

    I just have to say, 7 years ago I stumbled as a new wife on your page. I was always drawn towards women who had class and seemed polished, but needed practical tips to be more like them. So when I stumbled across your videos, and started applying these methods, I began receiving compliments. Over the years, I have been introduced in rooms full of people before speaking, and they have mentioned I am gracious and classy. Of course, I am not trying to boast. Only to come back and say “THANK YOU!” for these great examples on how to clean up our act, polish ourselves, and how to best serve those around us. It has served me well. It has also reflected well on my husband who owns a real estate brokerage. Thank you!

    • @TracyHensel

  • @normakeith4472
    @normakeith4472 2 года назад +39

    Tracy, thank you so very much for this valuable video!! Yes, I need more!
    Two big take aways from the video for me were:
    1) I was taught to purchase children's clothing, to be gifted, in larger sizes. I will quickly "un-learn" this rule!
    2) I am guilty of not really, really, really listening and absorbing what others are telling me. This is on ME for being disrespectful.
    Your advice just simply makes us better people, if we utilize it. Who wouldn't want that?!

    Oh goodness Tracy. This is so good! I went to modeling, etiquette and manners school in high school. I am now 49. This is all spot on! I’ve been mocked at times for how classy I strive to be. I ve been criticized from how I dress to how I address people to how I present myself at a party or event. I just don’t understand that at all. One thing that drives me bonkers is someone interrupting while someone else is talking. Anyway I so enjoy ALL of your videos! God bless and have a great weekend Tracy.

      @peggybaggenstoss3817 2 года назад +2

      Thanks for sharing this. I encounter the same…. I’m told often I’m classy.
      Growing up my
      Mom and grandmothers taught me it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed. Dressing for the occasion is important.
      As a nurse wearing scrubs most of the time I do dress up on off days. My friends initially were offended until I shared my reasoning. Now one friend that would dress sloppy for lunch in Little Rock now dresses better.

    • @andreacannon1263

      Shannon I agree with you, my whole life I have been criticized for being classy and it's definitely hard to understand. I have learned how to take pride of who I am and my accomplishments, it's not a crime to be yourself and thrive for excellence. God bless you classy lady !

  • @carrie5387
    @carrie5387 2 года назад +38

    Your content should be curriculum in schools. ☺️
    I had the same Home Economics teacher all 4 years in high school. She’s probably one of the classiest ladies I’ve ever known. Her sayings still stick with me all these years later.
    One thing in particular she would say is something I’ve heard you say. She would always tell us to never comment on the food someone was eating. Through the years if I ever hear someone say, “oh, that’s disgusting” I cringe a little, even if it’s not my food they are talking about.
    I could go on and on. I just want to encourage you to keep putting this type of thing out there. We are listening and learning. 🎀

    Thank you Tracy for these tips!
    As a recent cancer survivor I have two additional tips. Firstly, If you are not in the medical profession do not pressure your friends to follow your medical advice. Reading articles written by doctors does not qualify you to pressure someone to follow your suggestions. Secondly, please do not share with someone who has a disease any stories of someone you know who died of that disease. These things happened to me and it wasn't helpful.

    • @sarahm9813

    As a 52 year old woman, YES, please continue to make these kind of videos. I lost my mom when I was in my early twenties and she never covered these kinds of things for me. I have learned some the hard way unfortunately. Any advice for social settings or business would be appreciated.

    @JohnSmith86132 2 года назад +22

    Oh, Tracy! I just went to a dinner party last night! I was reflecting on this video and your "Dining Etiquette 101" video. It's really amazing how people are really not aware of what is off-putting and not proper.
    During the whole meal, we had two people comment over and over about how slow the staff was and bad the food was... "I will never come here again!". I cringed the whole time and was tempted to show them these videos.

    • @TracyHensel
      @TracyHensel  2 года назад +5

      Thanks for sharing, Brandon. Yes, those thoughts you keep to yourself while dining with others. If a husband and wife are dining with one another, it's one thing, but never at a dinner party.

    I’m blessed in that my mom, grandmothers, and aunts taught me so much about life. I still enjoy your videos and learning what I was gain the 1950-60’s still stands. Classy never goes out of style.

  • @ShiroHakase
    @ShiroHakase 20 дней назад +1

    I was never taught these faux pas growing up, I observe a lot of these in my parents and those around me too. Thank you for pointing these out, it's so helpful to be aware of this and how it feels to be on the other side.

    Tracy; I appreciate and enjoy your videos 😊 I don’t have a sister, and not one of my four sister-in-laws are into beauty, exercise and health like myself. In fact I feel mocked at times. However…thanks to your videos I have gotten over these issues!!! love your classiness and attitude about living life to its fullest. And not to mention you are an amazing mother🥰 keep the videos coming; I loved them all! ~ Becky💞 ~

    • @normakeith4472
      @normakeith4472 2 года назад +4

      I very much relate to your situation. I have no sister, and do have 3 sister-in-laws who are not into any of the things you mentioned either. I am looked upon as frivolous and self-serving. I view it as self-care and enjoying life! To each his own!

    Tracy, I love your closing statement so much. 31:35 I am in my early 30's. I did not have the blessing of having this guidance poured into me during my childhood. But your advice and coaching fills a huge gap in my upbringing and has a continuous impact in my adult life. We don't know what we don't know, but it's wonderful when someone, as poised and polished as you, turns on the light bulb. Now we can see these actions for what they truly are. I watch your videos on repeat and always appreciate your tough love approach. Keep up the beautiful work. 💛

    You just cannot go wrong with good manners & etiquette. The past 2 weeks I've been helping an acquaintance who was recently widowed. She is needing help decluttering and dealing with her beloved husband's possessions. I give so much credit to the etiquette & manners influencers, including Tracy, on RUclips for helping me say the right things in this situation. For the most part, it has involved a lot of listening, but 10 years ago I would not have had the skills to handle this delicately.♥️🇨🇦

  • @marlena7198
    @marlena7198 Год назад +2

    You are so on point with all you share. There's a lot I need to be reminded of, so you are on repeat! I would like to add, be careful of the statement, "Is there anything I can do for you." I've had this vague offer and called them on it and they couldn't help, It was a relative, when my mom was sick in the hospital. I asked if she could watch my young son for a couple of hour. I did live out of town. Maybe that was asking too much. I learned when reaching out to someone, to ask, "Can I ....for you." This lets them know what I'm comfortable and willing to do to help.

  • @claireconway8510

I cried when you spoke about grief and I also realised how blessed I am to have my classy church friends support me while I'm battling with my health and the death of a parent. They sent me flowers and chocolates this morning. Much appreciated. 🙏 💕

I know an executive in a large company who thinks nothing of tearing down a restaurant in online reviews. Would we want our mistakes plastered for all to see? Times are so tough....I like your philosophy of giving grace.

    I work at a hospital and when patients check in with me, some of them use their middle name or other name that friends and family call them which is totally different to what I have on the system. It annoys me because I can’t find them and they just assume I should know this. A different side of the story.
    Anyway, thank you Tracy. Love your tips as I know you have got it all together. Just so you know I normally listen to your videos while doing house chores or watching whole prepping food so making time count😉

    Oh Tracy, I absolutely adore your videos. ❤❤❤ Thank you for bringing Grace, knowledge, and thoughtfulness to the internet. If more people thought of others in their actions, the world would be a better place. I especially love your intro in this video, and how you mentioned that people can have different opinions without being wrong. People challenging others on their beliefs is one of my biggest pet peeves and is so abundant nowadays. My grandmother used to say something along the lines of “you attract more bees with honey than vinegar”

    Dear Tracy 🌺
    Thank you for doing a wonderful job and taking the time to put this very valuable information in video. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
    I was taught basic etiquette at a young age, and I've met so many people who have never understood basic etiquette. This needs to be brought into all schools and that every child needs to learn this at a young age.
    I find it to be shocking to see some many people lacking basic etiquettes today, and let's not forget it's downright distasteful and rude.
    On your marker 32.31, you talked about why one should never invalidate anyone's feelings by saying, "I know how you feel!". This really fries me mad. Tracy, you are 100000% RIGHT! 👍🏽
    No one should NEVER ever say that, regardless of what they think. We all have different experiences, and we all react to things differently; but mostly, they don't live in my body, and they are not feeling what I am feeling.
    What they're really doing It's invalidating me and my feelings.
    I lost my mother 12 years ago, and the pain still cuts me deep like it was yesterday. Every time I talk about her, I tear up; and I hear over and over so many times people telling me, "I know how you feel!" This not only makes me angry, but it really hurts me every time I hear that. I feel this to be extremely insensitive, rude, and disrespectful, just as if they had slap me in the face!
    You are so bang on and correct to say what you said. Everyone needs to ZIP it!! Because they don't know what they don't know. Just like pigs don't know that they stinks!
    And once again you are so very correct to say: I'm sorry for your loss if there's anything I can do for you, please let me know as I would like to be there for you. This would mean so much more and comforting than an insensitive remark.
    Tracy, if you're ever in Vancouver, BC, Canada, please reach out to me as I would love to take you out for lunch to say thank you!!!
    Again, thank you a million for making these videos!! 💝 💐
    Love & Hugs 💕

    Please do more of these videos! I love it! Sometimes I feel that in certain situations I’m not communicating very well maybe because English is my second language and also cultural differences. What might be rude to one person it’s completely okay for another yet I feel you manage to find the middle ground and manage to say things without offending anyone. I even googled what is a faux pas just to have a better understanding (the meaning absolutely came through in your video I was just making sure I use this phrase correctly in the future). I learn a lot from these videos and also your stories so please keep them coming! We are lucky to have you! 💕

    I smiled when you said it may be a generational thing to buy bigger clothes for children as a gift. My dad is in his 80's, but once when I bought shoes for my toddler son bigger than his actual size, my dad told me buy the correct size because it didn't look neat at all. I never repeated that again. That was more than 30 years ago. In our case, it was a generational issue, but in reverse. Sometimes, someone else can see things more clearly. My dad has always been big on looking neat in your attire.

    I appreciate your feisty manner. It’s refreshing to see you become passionate about certain topics. “Well now your loved one is in a better place!” Huh? Are they nuts. If I lost a child and someone said that to me I’d probably avoid them for fear of more hurtful comments.

    Oh my, how I agree with your WAIT tip. I truly understood it when I shared with a collegue at work that I was going on a trip to Rome (I live in Italy) during small talk at the end of my shift. He replied "I really don't envy you, Rome makes me sick, I find it ghastly". I found that reply so rude and unecessary that I refrained from sharing anything about my trips with anyone at work, him especially. It also made me aware of how careful we need to be when expressing our opinion, because I really don't want to make other people feel the way my collegue made me feel with that phrase.

    Tracy, I LOVED this! I very much appreciate all the tips, because there were a couple in there I had never thought about before! I would love more videos like this! I loved what you said about people dealing with loss! I used to never know what to say to people and a few years ago, thankfully in my early twenties, I came to the same conclusion but I never hear people talk about that. And you helped me understand that further! I would love to hear all the tips you have! Thank you ❤

    That was so powerful. And even though I have done some of these things (even today 🤦‍♀️). I really appreciate your honesty. We really don't know what other people feel, even if it's something that may comfort us, it may not to others.
    Also a huge yes on baby clothes, I had so many unused baby clothes!

      I agree with you. People crave connection with other people. That is what the word "relationship" means - ourselves in relation to others. It is human nature and it should not be stifled, but instead developed and fine-tuned. Sharing your own story and experience with another person who is receptive is a fundamental and crucial skill in building relationships among us and is an expression of empathy and love. It is how we connect with others on a deep, meaningful level. It is sad to see some people reluctant to do so in the name of "being proper". Just be real. Life is short. I'm glad you shared your comment.

    Thank you Tracy! I always appreciate you showing us tidbits of life as you see it from “your lens”. Almost sixty here and I feel that it’s never too late to improve our manners and how we present ourselves to others. I think the hardest one for me, has been to learn to validate and acknowledge somebody else’s pain. Sometimes, people have given me their bad news very suddenly and going through the shock of the news makes it difficult to find the proper words of comfort. Many times I just stay quiet and listen and it seems to help.

    All of these are so good and so spot on! I just love your wisdom, Tracy!
    I have experienced a lot of these as well. In planning my children’s birthdays, I usually don’t get a lot of help because people will ask what they can bring the day before. I have typically already gotten everything at that point. Or they will ask me if I need help setting things up an hour prior to the party. By then everything is already done. I have learned that if I want something brought or if I need help, to communicate that clearly and ahead of time. Also, our neighbors will shorten my husbands name so when they ask about him, I literally have to think for a moment & think who are they talking about?
    This video also came out at a good time for me because my husband & I were talking a few days ago about another faux pas you have mentioned in the past, buying perfume for someone! Every year my parents will gift me Perfume for my birthday and Christmas. I just smile and say thank you but don’t open any of them since the scents would agitate my sinuses. My husband says that they are just wasting money but I am trying to be polite. Is there a polite way that I can tell them to stop buying the perfume?

    • @TracyHensel
      @TracyHensel  2 года назад +2

      Thank you for sharing. I can only hope that your message gets read so that people who would like to help offer earlier. As for the perfume faux pas - Anything scented is a risky gift, especially a product you apply to the body. I encourage you to communicate with your parents now, instead of once the holiday season and shopping begins. You can attempt to communicate discreetly and indirectly first and see if it seems your parents picked up on it. That is typically the approach that I take.

      I have significant skin allergies to fragrances. I tell my family this, in part because I don't want them to gift me fragranced items. For those friends of mine who like to gift me things on occasion, I'll sneak a little phrase (like "I have a skin allergy to fragrances") into a conversation, and it seems to work. 😊 Hoping you can find a solution before the holiday shopping begins. 🤗

    You're very thoughtful in sharing these tips. I have a few ideas that you can talk about if you make another video like this. My husband despises seeing people licking their fingers when eating, preparing food, serving food and when going through a buffet line. We also have friends who have indoor pets that have odors and he refuses to visit their home when invited. I never know how to graciously decline their invitation. Also, some friends are extremely health conscious and do not use antiperspirant or deodorant so they have body odor. We never say anything, but feel embarrassed for them. They appear to be clean, I think becuase of the aluminum in antiperspirants is the reason they refuse to use it.

    I assume these stories are all based in personal experience, and the fact they resonate with people is incredible to me. I haven't lived that long yet, so maybe I haven't had so many faux pas, it's crazy to think people would shorten someone's name, bring a plant or buy something for someone WITHOUT ASKING FIRST! Communication is the biggest lesson I'm learning here from you.
