10 Things That Tell You Have Class

I love and fully appreciate that Anna has been so open about her past mistakes - we should all be so humble to admit and show where we've gone wrong!

My daughter's English teacher told her in class in front of everyone "I love getting text messages from your mother, they are always written well and in complete sentences." LOL!

When I was a teenager I lived with my friend's mom. And she allowed me to stay for a seriously low rent fee. But I was unable to pay it because of my own faults. She was gracious and still helped me anyways. Now at 32 I finally paid her back what I've owed her for all these years. She never asked but I also never forgot.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized mindfulness is key. It’s important to remind yourself every day, every hour, to behave mindfully and respectfully. Pause before answering questions. Breathe before you get emotionally upset. Take a walk every day and spend time taking care of your physical and mental health. Make yourself hard to access unless people earn it. These lessons come with experience and age but watching these lessons helps reinforce those lessons. Thank you Anna.

Thank you for talking about intoxication. Not only is it unattractive. being wasted puts a huge responsibility on your friends. It's very, very dangerous to be intoxicated in public, or even at a private party, and your friends will have to see to your safety.

Anna, thank you for addressing proper texting etiquette. Its truly sad that proper decorum is being lost because it is viewed as “old fashioned”. It breaks my heart to see some of my interns struggle with formal social events because they were never instructed in the most basic rules of etiquette. Thank you for everything you do to help bridge that gap!

Anna, thank you so much for your videos and advice. I live in NYC, born and raised. I'm a city gal but hate the crowds. When you talked about getting in line (queue) I remember back to my first time in Paris. Everyone on the metro was polite, even though it was very crowded. I describe it as a beautiful dance. People slipping past others in a graceful manner. In NYC, it s a full on contact sport. People (men and women) derive great joy from pushing and hitting others and excuse it as "it's crowded, what are you going to do? 🤷🏾‍♀️". I've had plenty of men full on body check me. I dont wait in line for anything, not the store, not the train, bus, airport, nothing. I always hang back, let people fight, push, get aggravated then I step on. Or I wait for the next train, there is always another train. When I fly, I sit far from my gate and watch with great bemusement the people anxiously lining up around the check in counter, jumping to get in line first, to stand around and wait. My seat is confirmed and only I can sit in it. I'm the last person to board and because of this I get my bag checked for free 😎. When we land, I smile as everyone is jumping up to just stand there. Lol. I'm the last to leave, my luggage is waiting for me and I enjoy a nice peaceful walk. My peace is priceless.

I literally got myself a clothes steamer for my birthday.. following Anna's advice..

I'm going to add a teeny tiny detail that people don't think about very often, but others notice. Dirty phone cases and earphones. It shows your hands are dirty (even if you wash them because you're constantly holding a dirty phone) and you don't take care of your hygiene (because people can see the earwax on your earphones) and that gives a very strong impression you're overall dirty.

I think not drinking at all is the most elegant thing.

A lot of the advice Anna gives here comes with maturity and is great that Anna has a platform to speak to, and share with, younger women.

It’s funny because I used to have some toxic traits as embarrassing as it is to admit. It was also hard to break certain habits I had. But after discovering Anna Bey I wanted to change all that! And I did! I started doing Progressive Mental Alignment sessions and it changed my life in an emotional sense and I could finally see all the potential I had. It impacted me so much I spent the next year studying the method and became a Mindset Coach and now I help others. I have Anna to thank! ❤🎉

Elements of class? Empathy. Courtesy. Tact. A sense of humor. Eats neatly. Doesn't wear skin-tight clothes. Notices and is nice to everyone - waiters, garbage men, homeless people. Doesn't yell "Oh my God!" at everything out of the ordinary.

Whenever I need to self motivate or a pep talk, I watch an Anna video. 💕

one more thing i would add is classy women treat workers with respect whether they are in a restaurant or a shop

I also think a good tip is to eat before the date or important engagement so that you’re not ravenous and you can focus on networking and socializing rather than being focused on the food.

I feel that it should be a rule, from now on, that for every DON'T video, to also post the reverse of it 🤣🤣 Can't wait to watch it!!!

You look beautiful in today's video! 🫶 Background, colors, all setting and lightening are amazing! 🥰

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles, we would be crippled. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for regrets

Great backround decorated with vases with the Greek ancient meandros design!

Anna Bey is the best teacher. She teaches important life lessons and also lessons to improve your style. I really appreciate that and I am so glad that I am able to have a teacher like her. Don't forget that we love you Anna! BTW I really want to make a house tour!!😘❤

I have actually copied you. I have always love a simple/classy nail do but never put my mind on what that looks like. Your signature red nail has been my inspiration for years. Ps. I believe every person should watch this video.

Wonderful examples that the everyday woman can implement. Also, the color of your dress looks BEAUTIFUL on you. It makes your eyes pop and isn’t in competition for the spotlight.

Anna, I want to thank you for making this youtube channel & for sharing all your tips & wisdom. I am thankful I found your channel because you have given me confidence to be who I truly am--- long story short, All of your tips on how to be a classy woman, that is how I truly am by nature. All my life, I had nonfeminine, aggressive, dominating woman make me feel less of a person by their comments towards me on how I should "let loose", & all the other things you mentioned how classy woman don't act like, I pretty much have been told I should act like that instead. For years, I felt so different from other woman that I began to internalise it & question myself like am I wrong for being classy? Should I be more dominate ? But then finding your channel gives me the confidence to be who I truly am & not fall into peer pressure of trying to fit in with others. I thank you for being an inspiration♡

Anna Bey! Every time I see your videos, I am enlightened and amazed at all the truth you speak. I come from a family without any class.. I am fighting my way out of that. I have so much going on for me at 53 years old. Masters' degree, and as a US veteran, I consider myself sexy (I don't know how to act). I am intelligent, good-hearted, and sweet with anyone I come across; I am Hispanic and very romantic because I grew up in the 70s in my country. You have changed a lot of my self-esteem. i am single, but I want to change that. I ve been single since 1992

This hairstyle looks great on you, Anna! Personal opinion - better than waivy for you.

I have recently found your channel Anna and I absolutely adore your channel. Your advice has helped me shape some things in my life and form habits that make me a better person. Thank you!

I have a new friend that I discovered is copying everything I doing in my home. New sofa, new carpeting, plants on my front porch, decor, etc…. I find it hard to have her in my home because the next time I’m in hers, I see my purchases .🤷‍♀️. Don’t care for that at all

My addition to about paying attention to your smell: arrive fresh to your beauty/ wellness appointments. It’s classy because it shows respect to the person that’s going to work on you. Don’t keep your hair without washing for too long just because you’re going to have it professionally washed at your next hairdresser appointment. Shower right before going to get a massage or body treatment and if you think you’re gonna get there all sweaty consider if you can freshen up there or choose a more convenient time.

#9 happened to me in the gym 🥲 A girl sneaked up behind me and took my spot on the leg press machine and said to me "I was here first!" She shouldve asked me first if Im going to use the machine or if she could share with me.

This lady is very sympathic. Such a sweet person. 💐

Love, love, love the hair Anna! You get more beautiful every video. Tomorrow at 9pm session!

OMG, I have to compliment just how gorgeous your hair is!! And the color tone suits you well❤

Love your hair today! Darker tone is very flattering on you. And your message for how to handle things with class. Just perfect!

I think that even if you “can hold your alcohol” and you’re able to drink a lot without getting messy, you still shouldn’t drink more than 4 drinks in a night. Even if it doesn’t affect your behaviour, it still seems pointless to have more than 4 drinks. I think it is better to have one or two drinks, and then order non-alcoholic cocktails after that, to show that you have restraint and also that you value self care and taking good care of the health of your mind and body. Alcohol does damage to your organs over time no matter how well you think you can hold your liquor

Anna that baby blue shirt you have on really brings out the blue of your eyes, thank you for the lovely content

Thank you for teaching about text etiquette. Would you be willing to consider doing a video on dining out with food allergies and sensitivities? Also, please if you are willing, tell what that fabulous is color is that you are wearing. It’s so gorgeous and look like the color of pink peonies. 🌸

So many of these class- laws, are just common sense if you were brought up right. My biggest problem with other people is the conversation at the dinner table ....swallow the food first, rinse your mouth with a sip of water and then talk...had to get this off my mind Thank you Anna, you are doing a great job with your program. Ursula

Me thinking of this video as I re-read my email and scan for punctuation and typos: So glad I'm an Elegant Woman. Thank you Anna. ❤️

I know you are a classy lady Anna Bet. You hold yourself wonderfully and speak properly. God bless you ❤️

I love watching your videos. None of us are perfect and at 26 years old I'm still trying to get it right ❤ everyday I just try to be better than I was yesterday

My rule to lending money is to only do it when I wouldn’t mind not getting it back, so either a small amount (paying for a coffee or lunch) or to very close friends who I know really need it. I trust the person to pay me back without needing me to constantly remind them. If I do not trust them to pay me back when they are able, I wouldn’t lend them money.

Your hairstyle looks lovely. The added layers frame your face nicely!

Dear Ana, I am learning English. your way of speaking is so useful for my learning... you speak very clearly. Thank you!

You are like an angel! I was a nightmare when I was a teenager but thankfully today I'm on the right path, you helped me so much! Thank you Anna!

Obsessing over a man is NEVER worth it.

I wanted to compliment you on the lip color you are wearing in this video. It seems different then what I had seen before and compliments your skin tone. Lovely!

You look extra amazing lately ✨

Anna, you always brighten my day and have good tips to share. Thank you, Mary

I agree with you on most points except the hotel what they provide you of shampoo cream etc are not free you already paid for their use. me personally I take with me all I need shampoo body lotion etc So I take what the hotel provides & when I get back home I donate to women shelter In my humble opinion this is the epitome of class

Anna your eyes are really shining today! sky Blue dress and the green background really brings out your eyes

You sure got me on the "getting the last word in to prove I'm right" tip. Will put that habit on permanent hold! Thank you for all your wonderful advice!

I adore this video! The content is extremely meaningful! Brilliant argumentation!

Hi Anna, I would say men have wallets and ladies have 👛 purses. Love your channel 🥰💕

Oh Lord, I avoid alcohol as much as I can 🥶 Makes me anxious and I don't even find it tasty, to be honest

All 10 are legitimate! 💃🏻 Great advice.

Oh, Anna, your hair looks gorgeous!

Absolutely love your hair and makeup

could you make a video on hotel etiquette please? from how to interact with the staff from entrance, check in etc. also on the tipping etiquette. Some hotels are visited by rich middle east or russian people or americans who leave very generous tips. How to not look cheap and know how much to leave when they say that service cannot be charged on the card and therefore is not included in card payments... Also sometimes when I go to hotels, I have this friend who asks a lot of questions to staff and want to "visit" any part of a luxurious hotel, like rooftops, restaurant, bar etc just to see how it looks like and would stay there taking photos and videos.. I find it embarassing..

Thank you for all your hard work, you truly make a difference in my life!

Thank you, Anna, for all you do. Keep spreading the message. I love your make-up. Subtle yet beautiful.♥️🇨🇦

Let's admit it, #10 comes surprisingly cute 😂

Dear Anna, can you please make a serie of videos on how to level up professionally. This would be of a great help. Thank you

Your hair looks so good 😍

You are so right, Anna! I have "validate yourself" on my vision board!

The generation of my grandmothers and my mother was so different. Most women had class naturally. What an upside down world it is now. Class has almost become extinct. 😢 Thank you Anna for these reminders. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all women had these 10 classy traits!

I learnt a long time ago that money is never "borrowed" it is given or gifted. If you can part with your money, know that you're likely not going to be paid back.

Anna you’re like the big sister we’ve never had

I believe that some elderly people's houses smell because in fact elderly people themselves tend NOT to smell. This lulls them into thinking that they rarely have to wash their clothes.... and eventually their houses get that musty smell.

I would suggest that if you put hello or hi first in a message, wait for a response from the other person first before you continue, because you naturally want to get their attention right? Then ask away what they think to a new dress when they get in contact. I would say, by saying, hi - how are you - I've got a question... is a suspenseful way of getting someone's attention that they must reply to you right then and there because you hope they have to get in contact to answer your question. We all know the types who take forever and a day to reply to us and you want their attention there and then. But if this is your go to style of talking to people over messages try to break that by practising being a little straightforward and send two pictures of two dresses and ask which they prefer? Most people rather straight forward questions because it makes you come across as a tease by enticing their interest and to then hear which pair of socks to buy it's annoying and some women do get annoyed very easily about those types of things. Most people do prefer straight forward questions rather than someone beating around a bush or who takes forever and a day to get information out of them.

The only one I question is not being obsessed with free things. Are you conflating being classy with being wealthy? If a poor woman had the opportunity to accept free things that would make her life significantly easier, would it really be that bad for her to take them?

Anna speaks, I listen.

My nan always told me to never borrow money and never be late for an appointment or meeting. Also taught myself and my siblings proper table manners. Keep elbows off the table, never talk with your mouth full (or at all when at the table), put cutlery down in between mouthfuls, chew your food and don't bolt it down. I instilled good manners in my daughter and a judge once praised me for raising a lovely young lady (my daughter was assaulted by her Anorexia counsellor, not involved in a crime herself).

Anna, people with substance use disorder can never control their alcohol use. As in, NEVER. The disorder is caused by a brain state that results from trauma, physical or emotional, so anyone struggling with their drinking needs to get treatment: appropriate clinical and social support, and 12 step work. One of the hats I wear is that of a professional addiction recovery coach with many years of experience. I cannot drink at all, but I have so much recovery that I can handle social situations involving alcohol with grace and ease. I have not had a desire to drink for 36 years because treatment WORKS! The only people who are uncomfortable with my polite refusal of alcohol are active alcoholics. Everyone else respects my choice. Addiction knows no social class--there are just as many wealthy people with the disorder as there are poor people who have it, although in America poverty guarantees you will get PTSD at some point, which raises your risk of addiction.. (My brother is the PTSD expert who did the research that proves this.) Your other suggestions are spot on!.

Thanks for the precious advices, Anna.

I love your advice and observations. Thank you for sharing your insight.

The footage of Anna grabbing free stuff 😂😂😂

I can never wear a garment without wash. Even if I wore an outfit for 10 minutes, it needs to be washed and dried properly before it goes into my closet. Hygiene is extremely important.

Hello Anna! It would be lovely if you shared some of your interior design tips. I always love how warm and welcoming your home looks. It's very bright and inviting. A thousand thanks!

Your hair looks awesome!!

I really do appreciate you and your work, Mrs.anna . Thank you

Love your new look of hair style and color!

Anna, you look absolutely stunning in this video. The combination of soft blue and pink really suits you. 🌸💙

I love copycats! Never met someone overly obsessive though, but being an inspiration for others? I'll take it any day

Thank you Anna... Your words really made an impact on me... I will not obsess over a man...

Hi aama bey pleas make video at the topic of " how we show our behaviour in sick days or when we have fever 🤒"

Loved #10 Keep up your good work of educating women, Ana Bey! Congratulations!

This video is SO well done. The content is helpful and also triggering (I cringed because I saw myself in a few of the examples). I love the images and video clips you incorporate. I get super excited whenever there's a new AB video. You look stunning (as usual). I love your attention to detail. You are a wonderful life teacher and the go to expert on this subject by far.

I love the last point.
