  • This week I wanted so share some reflections on elegance, and why it has nothing to do with looks or money.
    It's all about self-improvement and A LOT of discipline (which I obviously do not have).
    As promised on the video, here are a few of the channels I like for moments when I'm in need of elevated, useful, drama-free content:

    Great advice! I try to always be kind; even to people who may not deserve it, as well as to strangers when I’m out in public. You never know what may be going on in somebody’s life - small acts of kindness from strangers have made my day many times, so I like to do the same for others whenever I can.
    The concept of not reacting immediately to a situation is really a good one. I’ve never been sorry for holding my tongue in difficult circumstances, but I’ve had quite a few regrets after giving in to the impulse to react. You’re right - it is often very embarrassing after whatever emotion you’re feeling in that moment is diffused.

    Such good advice. I came to your channel because someone from my ladies' self improvement/growth group linked one of your videos about the old money aesthetic. But here's more great stuff! It's not just how we look, it's what we think, how we act... Thank you!

    Yes, true elegance starts from the inside first. I would like to be less impulsive and more patient with people and circumstances. I have lots of regrets because of both.

    Mariana, not pompous at all. My goal is to be more Present. More aware of my moment in conscious way which opens the door to the path that you speak of. It gives perspective once you become aware that you are not the things you learned, you are much more than that, you just exist this way. Sorry, maybe makes no sense to anyone. :)
