Words like class, elegance, grace, and gentleness have long been forgotten and shelved. Currently, it is associated with the words outdated, uninteresting and prudish. The words like liberal, candidness, wild, unconventional, radical, sexy-cool, rockstar-glam, and sexually fluidare celebrated and applauded. We have replaced icons like Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Natalie Portman with Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga. Society finds revealing clothes,open sexuality, foul language, and heavy piled multi-colored make-up more appealing thesedays. Young girls now idolize these celebrities and replicate their hair, make-up, and fashionsense up to the ideals that they stand for. They grow up way too fast too. And we are seeing fromthese young girls: push-up bras, heavy foundation, cigarettes on their lips, boyfriends & sex are common topics of conversations, cuss words easily uttered, addiction to selfies & dating apps, body piercings & cosmetic surgery for birthday gifts from parents and the list goes on. Then you would realize how important having a good role model is in the growing years of individuals. Do you think we need to have better role models for our young women of today? It is sad to see thatthe art of ladylikeness and gracefulness has lost its significance in the changing times. There is beauty in classiness and gentleness. Soft does not necessarily mean weak, or loud doesn’t not mean strong. Being a proper lady, or as expected of a princess, should not be mock upon like it is an equivalent of a boring old lady with no personality. Besides, are we not daughters of God, King of the Kings? We are, by default, princesses of our right. We have birth rights, and we should be proud of it.
I am in no way insulting the talented artists of today, nor do I want to impose my values andbeliefs on everyone. (It is not about denying their talent, dedication to their craft, and ability to influence & charm people. I also believe in each of their own. My values may not be reflective ofsome people.) I only want to give a choice to the young women of today in choosing the lost path of gracefulness and class.
Being a mom of 3 young boys, I wish someday that my sons would marry a classy woman and raise children with good morals & values in life. I do not know if I will have a daughter someday, but I would like her to have the set of values that of an elegant respected woman. As a mom, a wife, a daughter, and a woman, I strive for these ideals every day too. To pursue gracefulness and that Christ-like ladylike values. Yes, I sometimes revert to my unpolished ways, which is my default setting. And it is a constant challenge to pursue the ideal type because I believe it is worth challenging ourselves as women. Our parents, our boyfriends or husbands, our sons and daughters, our relatives & friends, and our Creator would be proud of our mindfulness and effort in behaving as proper women with high values. Hence, this website, was created with my two amazing and talented friends, June and Wein, to provide a venue for women ages 13 to late thirties, teenagers to young wives & moms who also seek to pursue graceful, class and elegance every day. We will provide topics on Relationships, Beauty, Fashion, Feminine Habits, Books, and Motherhood. The website is for women of all religious denominations who also seek to live classy and graceful lifestyles. June and I are both married. I am a mom with three boys, while June is a mother to a beautiful young lady. We will share our viewpoints on motherhood, marriage, and relationships. While Wein will be the voice for a catch-worthy single woman, waiting for the Prince that God intends for her. We will share loads of articles on tips and guides, ladylike beauty and fashion, book recommendations, and talks on virtues to inspire the beautiful women of today who deserve nothing but the best. We will feature noteworthy classy women and soon will open our site to contributors of their stories towards gracefulness.
So, ladies, are you with us? Sitback, have some warm tea and let us all slowly start our journey towards gracefulness…
