You don't need to be rich or try to be rich to act elegantly. Elegance is a mindset and a lifestyle. You can be elegant with the simplest and cheapest things that you have.

Elegance is a style that never fades. It will be forever a style in trend for long as we can imagine.

And even if you are not of noble birth, elegance is required from any woman or man.

Elegance will give the impression of affluence, eloquence, and wit. And it will strongle give you the advantage in work, relationship or life as a while.

How to be Elegant in simple steps.

Practice Good Hygiene - this includes having your 'own' skincare routine. If you want to be elegant. You must be elegantly looking even naked.

Invest on good quality elegant capsule wardrobe - Having your elegant fashion style need not to be expensive. You can buy cheap clothes but elegant in style and wash them properly to avoid detoriation. Or buy pre owned quality clothes. And bags and shoes too! Stick to neutral colors at first that can be trendy in any season.

Speak in kindness, calmness and with wit - now this is where reading will be a good deal of advantage. A good reader will also be a good speaker. You have to be fluent and know what appropriate words to use in any conversation. Speak gently always and never lose poise even your temper is challenged.

Keep things in private - an elegant lady is never too exposed on social media. She knows that less is always more.

Keep everything simple- less is always more as Ive mentioned. And besides, an elegant lady need not much a fancy to be attractive, she is simply attractive in her very bare form.

Keep jewelries moderated - it is important to wear the right jewelry but never forget the rule of three. Meaning, only three jewelries can be worn at the same time. This is to avoid appearing overly decorated. You want to be noticed by your character not by your personal effects.

Sharpen your mind - an elegant woman is witty and educated. She is wide read and knowledgeable of many things.

She is organized - an elegant woman cannot simply work in chaos. She likes things neat and tidy. She works in order and she promotes order. She is an advocate of being punctual.

She is not readily available to any man - an elegant woman is not cheap who gives her full attention to any man.

So Dear Readers, may you find time to apply these in your daily life and see amazing effects. Truly works better than a nice skin care routine.

Period Dramas bring us to tales of Lost Art of Elegance, Chastise and Innocence.

Who would have thought that the desire of previous women ( who fought, by the way, long and hard) to free us and be made equal with men is not that ADVANTAGEOUS at all.

Dear Readers,

Im apalled to witness new generation of women losing the true art of class and grace. In an era when women do no longer dream to be a princess, what do women like me, do?

Technologies and advancements in thinking and knowledge had better our world. But did it truly? As it is made abudantly clear to me that the past glories has their own purpose. And that is for the greater good.

And those time, glorious and golden times, will be sorely missed.

Have you ever fantasized being a person from the past? Or do you believe in past life perhaps?

Well, to amuse you, I do.

I have always believed that I am from the past era.

When I was young (and that is the only clue you'll ever get), I used to have dreams of my past life. I remember waking up (in my dream) in a vintage bed, with a view of what I think is a part of Europe.

Over and over again I would dream of that, and little by little remnant stories of what I presume my past life connects. A dream that always felt real. A dream that always bothers me.

I always feel I belong to that place, or that I missed or left something or someone in that place. A message long I cant pathom. An unbreakable code.

Of what reason I died , I can't recall. I just dream of laying on that bed over and over again and seeing that picturesque european street.

I always felt Im royalty, and so let's leave that past life dream... That maybe once upon a time on earth, I walked this planet as a Duchess, a princess or a queen.

Dear Readers, do you believe in past life and reincarnation?

Artemis

1. For one it saves my phone battery.

2. It helps me focus my energy on my present task.

3. I realized I have more time than I can imagine. I actually have enough time for everything. I can even take a nap while my kids are taking theirs too.

4. I accomplish more, and I cram less.

5. Because I have plenty of time for every task, i get less irritable and I become patient (with the knowledge that I have enough time, relax, )

6. It helps me become less connected to virtual people, less gossip, i became less opinionated, I mind my own business and It is very peaceful.

7. I enjoy time with my kids more, I worry less, and I fully enjoy real connections to real people.

8. I enjoy every meal without the urge to take a photo of it

9. I have more time to read and do what I love , like writing blogs.

10. I wake up with extra time to say praises and give thanks for another wonderful day.

And I hope everyone will get to experience this freedom I am experiencing. Liberty from the bondage of virtual reality. Surely, social media and technologies have their own benefits. But as the saying goes, anything extreme, dear reader, is detrimental.

I like old times better.

Tea anyone? 🍵

Dear Reader,

For many of us, the first month of the year is always the busiest, most productive and organized.

I'd tell this to the fact that I myself is also too captivated with the thought of getting my goals for this year.

A lot of us struggle. In all honesty, being organized is a lifestyle nobody can master in a month or in a year. It takes seasons after seasons of trying and failing and eventually creating your own unique way of decluttering your tasks and organizing your schedules to match your lifestyle.

There are NO 1,2,3s or A,B,Cs in being organized that will get you to your target in a jiffy. But there are sure basic steps on how to have your kickstart.

𝓢𝓲𝓰𝓷𝓮𝓭,

I am quite overjoyed and extremely hopeful for the year 2021. But I would not lie that part of me is scared too.

I watched the TV series Bridgerton early this year and my vintage heart is yet awakened.

It says something about being the 'real me' this brandnew year. It somehow mirrored how I want to picture my life for this year and years to come --- elegant and classy.

And so I decided to put to waste all the things that are not utterly 'me'. It is time, I'd tell myself, to fully express my character within my own rules.

It may mean less friends, less things, but I will make sure anything and everything that will remain are meaningful.

Rules, had been given a negative connotation in present times. For sometime, I too, thought that maybe living outside the box of these rules will make my life way easier and comfortable.

My fondness of period dramas and series gave me a different perspective about rules and being organized. Rules and Etiquettes actually make our life simpler and more organized. They direct our path and maintain our focus on what truly matters and on what will truly help us to live our life to the fullest. Without the basic rules, we are like wanderers , lost, pathless, and aimless, wandering the earth without truly knowing what it truly means to live our life --- as a woman, man, mother, father, wife, husband or even as a professional.

For me, the year 2021 opened its Season for cutting off toxic people and things from our life, and re- aligning our hearts with past rules and manners that we had taken for granted before in our pursuit of liberty. But really, there is no liberty in a life without the rules.

I wish everyone a Happy New Year🥂

Cheers to rules of today and of the past.

Signed,
