In this episode, I talk about 5 ways to be more classic as a woman and how to live a more classic life. These are some of my favorite ways to make yourself feel more beautiful and feminine. I hope this episode gives you some tips and tricks on how you can be a little more classic in your life.
00:00:30.880The first way to be more classic is to take care of your looks.
00:00:34.380Now, it really depends on the kind of person.
00:00:36.720For me, I really love doing my makeup, so that is a way for me to take care of my looks and look my best.
00:00:43.100If you're not someone who's into makeup, maybe you just take care of your skin.
00:00:46.480Skin care is something that's really important.
00:00:48.400Or maybe you love taking care of your hair and styling your hair, and that becomes something that's important.
00:00:53.500But finding something that really helps elevate your beauty, whether that be makeup or skin care or hair stuff,
00:01:00.200or something that just allows you to embrace your femininity, is always going to make you feel beautiful and make you look more classic.
00:01:07.800So I think one of the things that's a little bit hard for people to sometimes understand is that I do a lot of looks on my channel for makeup that aren't necessarily classic makeup looks,
00:01:19.880Sometimes I do colorful makeup looks or things like that.
00:01:22.420Well, for me, I find that it's classic as a woman just to want to do your makeup or just to want to take care of your skin or your nails.
00:01:30.180That's another really good way to get into your feminine side and just taking advantage of your beauty and making it clear to everyone else around you.
00:01:41.220So even if it's just putting on a little bit of mascara or a little bit of concealer,
00:01:45.580really upping the game when it comes to how you're looking and feeling is a very classic way of living.
00:01:52.340My next piece of advice is to curate your own style.
00:01:55.320So I think it's really easy in today's day and age to just kind of fall into athleisure and wear whatever is comfortable
00:02:01.560and then to wear the same thing over and over and over again just because it looks good or really more because it's easy to move around in.
00:02:08.780And I think what makes a woman classic is finding a style that works for her and wearing looks that flatter her body and fit with your unique style.
00:02:18.300So for me, I really like when my clothes are a little bit more fitted or have some feminine details, things like that.
00:02:27.940But having your own style and having that curated for yourself is really just a classic thing and a way to live your life in a more classic way.
00:02:36.300So I do have a few recommendations for what you can add to your closet that will make your closet look more typically classic
00:02:43.400and will give you a little bit more of that typical feminine look.
00:02:47.420If you guys are interested in a video on that, comment down below and let me know.
00:02:51.280But just generally, having a more curated style will always make you look more classic.
00:02:56.340My next piece of advice is that you should always try and smell nice.
00:03:00.280I know that sounds really funny, but I think that smelling nice is a really classic thing.
00:03:05.920I love the idea of having a signature scent.
00:03:10.120I mean, you can see right behind me, I have displayed three of my perfumes and I wear those at different times of the year.
00:03:17.620So I have a summer scent, I have more of a fall scent, and I have a winter scent.
00:03:21.380I would love to just have one scent, but I've yet to find one that really works for me and that my husband also likes.
00:03:27.140So finding a scent that is really much more signature or works for you and you just always smell really nice and feminine or maybe something that's a little bit more your style.
00:03:38.060So for me, some of my perfumes are a little bit more woodsy and not necessarily just floral,
00:03:42.580but something that makes you smell nice and makes people notice you when you come in a room because you have brought a really lovely scent.
00:03:49.900That's a very classic thing for women to do is to just always have that little bit of extra something that usually is tied in with smell.
00:03:58.700Another way that you can smell nice is not just with perfumes, but with the products that you use in your hair and on your body.
00:04:04.220So when you shower, using something that has a scent that is soft and attractive will be a really lovely thing that kind of lingers on the skin.
00:04:12.920Now, I do recognize that some scents are actually not really good on the skin and make you itchy or whatever it is.
00:04:19.180So obviously, if you have a sensitivity to scents, don't do that.
00:04:23.220But even just smelling clean is something that you can use to feel more classic.
00:04:29.960Of course, there's the scents that you can put in your hair.
00:04:32.360I use a coconut-scented shampoo and conditioner.
00:04:34.680I have talked about that in a different video.
00:04:36.760And just having a nice blend of scents is also really nice.
00:04:40.480Using scents that clash with each other, maybe less classic than choosing scents that work as a team, almost.
00:04:48.120And just keeping yourself smelling fresh and lovely or whatever it is that you like.
00:04:53.340My next suggestion for being classic is to read.
00:05:23.060I've done it before, and it always feels so nice.
00:05:26.240But besides the fact of how it looks, of course, it doesn't necessarily matter how it looks.
00:05:31.240The thing for me about reading that makes it classic is that it really opens your mind to different cultural ideas and also just different ideas generally.
00:05:39.100There's a lot of different things that you can learn from books that you wouldn't know otherwise.
00:05:44.220And also, I think it's a really good way to settle the mind that allows you to get into the minds of different characters.
00:05:51.120And not just in a film, which is just a two-hour commitment, but something where you have to sit and take the time to really understand characters or ideas that were written by someone other than yourself.
00:06:03.320So I really love the idea of reading, and I think that makes women and just people generally more classic.
00:06:09.200My last way to be more classic is to go to museums.
00:06:14.900When I lived in New York, I would go to the Met Museum pretty frequently, and I tried to go to more museums.
00:06:20.020And I would often go by myself because I just wanted to sit and watch and kind of let all of the art speak to me.
00:06:26.840I didn't feel like I needed someone there to experience it with all the time.
00:06:29.440And I think that that's something that's a very classic way of living, is to appreciate classic pieces of art and classic pieces of music and classic books, and just take the time to appreciate beauty.
00:06:44.020That is something that I think we don't all take the time to do very often nowadays.
00:06:48.320And appreciating beauty is something that really elevates you and your life and gives you a classic perspective.
00:06:55.040So I really recommend, even if nobody is willing to go with you, go to a museum, maybe even bring a notebook.
00:07:02.280I've gone to museums and tried to sketch some of the paintings.
00:07:04.880I've also written down some of my thoughts as I was watching or looking at different pieces of art.
00:07:09.720And I think it just gave me a really different perspective and one that was a lot more classic.
00:07:15.320What do you guys think are some classic things that you do that make your life feel more classic?
