Hey 2pretty😊, I'm an 18 year old follower and i need guidance on how to stay classy in the "classless" society we live in.
First we have to make some guidelines for what qualifies as classy (keeping in mind that I am a advocate for traditional femininity).
In my opinion, here are a few things that signifies class, not in the social ranking sense, but in how one carries themselves:
Always leaving the house with your hair done. Your hair is your crown and is one of the main things that shows that you take good care of yourself. Clean, healthy, hydrated hair that is maintained at the ends and well-styled. Professionally dyed (if you want to change your natural color) and not in crazy colors.
Always wearing a presentable outfit. Nice clean shoes, properly fitting clothes that lack vulgarity, and things that are appropriate for ones age. Making an effort to put on a proper outfit, not just throwing on articles of clothes. Making sure that your clothes are for the occasion, i.e. athletic wear only for athletic occasions, sleepwear only for bedtime, loungewear only indoors, day clothes for day wear.
Having respectful encounters with those on the outside world and in your personal life. Speaking with kindness, using an appropriate volume, saying please and thank you, not rushing employees, making pleasant small talk, and giving compliments when you see something worth acknowledging.
Not feeling the need to always engage in arguments or combative situations. Remember, you don’t have to show up to every fight you’re invited to. Sometimes, the classiest thing to do is agree to disagree, keep your negative thoughts to yourself, admit that you personally can’t make someone change their mind and see things from your perspective, and let people be angry by themselves. It doesn’t mean you “lose”. It means you are saving your energy and frustration for more pressing matters.
Keeping your personal hygiene in check. Do you brush your teeth daily? Do you bathe daily? Do you wash your hands frequently? Do you allow yourself to eat messily? Have you used moisturizer and perfume today? Are your nails clean and evenly filed? Has your body hair been groomed to your personal preference?
Not having “sneaky girl” tendencies. Meaning, don’t gossip about others or engage in gossip around you. If someone starts asking you for information about your peers, say “I’m not 100% sure, you should ask them directly”. Make it clear that you will only tell business that relates to you. Keep secrets that are shared to you. Don’t plot on your friends’ downfall behind their backs. Don’t homewreck and don’t do snake-like things.
Keep “you” to yourself. Don’t make yourself so available for public consumption. Stop sharing so much online and keep your personal life personal. Sharing a few things here and there is perfectly fine, but leave people asking questions about you. How did she do that? Why is she there? When did she go there? Where does she live? Who bought that for her? How much money does she make? If they know everything, you have delegated yourself to being a public spectacle, and there is nothing classy about that. Remaining mysterious is a good thing. If someone wants to know personal stuff about you, then they better become a close personal friend, bc thats who that information is reserved for. (Which is why only my actual friends on tumblr get to see my selfies, rather than me posting them for everyone to see 😝)
Keep your reputation in mind. What you do in public, you are publicly branded with. Do you sleep around? Do you drink heavily? Do you party a lot? Do you study all day? Do you volunteer often? Do you copy people? Are you a teachers pet? Do you make everyone laugh? Do you look out for others? Are you there in peoples time of need? Do you frequently gain and drop friends? Can you keep a job? Do you side-chick yourself? People notice. It’s hard to change your reputation once enough people have put you into a box. Or rather, once you’ve put yourself into a box and everyone else has paid attention to it. Maintain a classy reputation in public. If you want to get a little “messy”, do it at home.
Stop keeping up with celebs and influencers that you don’t consider to be classy. You are the company you keep and even though you don’t know them personally, you still are in their company from a distance. You will be inclined to talk like them, behave like them, dress like them, and constantly consume their content. People we spend time engaging with have an effect on us, shocker. Find people you would like to emulate in some way, and spend more time with them, rather than those you’d prefer to not end up like.
Have hobbies that contribute to personal growth. Whether that be a sport, cooking lessons, fitness, reading, beauty routines, writing, gardening, studying, music lessons, dancing, it doesn’t matter! As long as you enjoy it and it’s a productive way to spend your time elevating yourself, it’s definitely good for you. More time spent making yourself a better woman means less time spent on damaging activities.
Manifestation: 2021 edition.
The process of Scripting:
Scripting is one of the easiest methods of manifestation. The process of scripting is often done in what is known as a manifestation journal. A manifestation journal is as simple as the name entails, a journal used only for the purpose of manifestating.
side note: Manifestations can only be achieved if internal shadow work was already being done.
Selecting a journal.
The first step is to select a journal. It is important that when creating a manifestation journal, the journal being used is new. You do not need to purchase an overpriced journal covered in quotes as long as it’s a new journal that resonates with your taste and energy it is fine. This journal is specifically for manifestation, nothing else goes into this journal but what you’re trying to manifest.
Binding your intentions
One of the most important step before you start writing inside of your manifestation journal is binding your intentions to the journal. There are different methods of binding your intentions, however one of the simplest forms is simply by blowing over your journal & speaking loudly into the atmosphere the purpose of the journal.
i.e. Place your hand on top of your journal while allowing your breath to flow onto it as you speak purpose into the journal.
“This journal will be used for manifestation. Anything written inside of this journal will transform into my reality. I am a creator. I am a manifestor. The ink that flows within this pen, the pages that are within this journal are canvas of my future. Everything I write within my canvas will form it’s way into my future reality.” This is an example of what I used to set the intention with my journal. I also envision energy flowing from my hand into the journal.
Scripting in your journal
Showing gratitude is the perfect way to start off your manifestation journal. On the first page of your journal make a detailed post giving gratitude to the Universe and God for the things you currently have and are going to receive. However, when writing about anything inside of your manifestation journal always use the Present tense. As mentioned before you need to write within your manifestation journal as if your intentions have already happened therefore it is essential that you show gratitude to the universe for your manifestation.
i.e: You are trying to manifesting love within your life. You could write within your journal like this: “I am so thankful for the love within my life. I am so thankful to the Universe and God for blessing me with the love that I deserve. This soul touching connection & love is everything I deserve and more. I am soooo thankful. I am so grateful. I am love and am loved.”
This is a brief example of how you would use the present tense and method of gratification within your manifestation journal. You can switch it up and add your own desires. The trick to using a manifestation journal is using the Present tense. By showing gratitude for the things you’ll like into your life and writing as if it’s already in your life is one of the best methods of law of attraction. Even though it hasn’t happened within your life as yet, it will as long as you’ve programmed your mind to believe it’s on its way towards you. This is the perfect way to attract your desires from the universe.
Ensure that when writing within your manifestation journal you are as detailed as a possible. The more details, the better. A vague dream and description will not manifest into reality, the universe will only grant you exactly what you’ve asked for in detail. Write down as much details as you can while dewelling on the feelings you are experiencing while doing so.
What do you want to manifest? Why do you want this dream? Is this dream a want or a need? These are important internal questions that need to be answered as you cannot manifest a dream/future that isn’t clear or you are unaware of why you need it in your life.
Visualizing & Vision board
The process of visualization is also important when scripting within your manifestation journal. Imagine your dream/future as if you are currently experiencing it. As if it had already happened and you are living within that moment. What kind of feeling does it give you? The mental image of your dream and the feeling it gives you will help with assisting in manifesting your dream. A vision board section can also be added with your journal. You can insert pictures of things you are trying or would like to manifest. This also helps with the visualization process. Remember anything written or pasted within your journal with transform into your reality.
Having a positive mindset.
You have to be positive about your dreams and your manifestation journal. A lot of us seem to have this idea of manifestation being an instant transformation and while it does work like that for some situations that’s not always the case. You cannot manifest someone against their free will, you cannot manifest what is not meant for you, you cannot manifest without releasing the past and doing shadow work & you definitely cannot manifest what you don’t think you deserve or aren’t spiritual on the same vibrational level as.
You have to completely and whole heartily believe that everything written within that journal — everything written with that specific pen will transform into your reality. Any room for doubt will cause your manifestations to fail. You have to reprogram your mind so that you can achieve your dreams.
side note: The best time to write within your journal would be right before bed and first in the morning when your mind is still fresh and in the state for manifestating. However any appropriate time is suitable as well. The journal should be used only for manifesting & the pen that is being used should only be used for that journal as well. Remember to be positive and to show gratitude always. These are all the tips on successfully creating and using your manifestation journal.

Some important tips from the 48 Laws of Power 🗣
I’ve been getting more questions on Instagram and Tumblr about my coaching and workshops. The free membership is back open, where you get one new lesson every week for a year. Also, my Level Up Blueprint & Confidence MasterClass is now available. If you don’t want to listen to me talk for an hour, here are some of the main slides.
I did my best to create a visual way of portraying how I go about my level up journey. In a nutshell, in 2016 I locked myself in my room for a summer and decided that I would not allow myself to move back to California or date any men until I had done the work to figure out what I wanted in life, who I wanted to be and how I was going to make it happen. That was where my Signature Self (alter ego) idea came into fruition.
For each phase, I simply went through each of these categories and defined what would be ideal for me, established my goals and created visual guides (vision boards, mood boards, etc). I rewrote my script for what my life would look life if I combined all of these and decided to actually start living.
Then, for each of my goals, I established milestone/steps (as a way to provide accountability and clarity), I created rituals (based on what I could do consistently to get what I wanted in life), I established a reminders/triggers/rewards system for when I lose motivation and need to get myself back on track. It is not shown here, but I also created a list of things that I enjoy doing as a “when I think there’s nothing to do” list so if I am bored, lack motivation or just want to get out of my head. This was I limit my zero days, and can still feel productive in my own way.
Let me know if you have any questions about this! 💗 I provided an example from myself (for language learning), and one from a client).
2021 = Epicurean lifestyle
Dear Dark Skin Women,
This is your sign that you are the divine gift the heavens blessed upon this Earth
Love yourself unconditionally.
@koujayn
when you fuck up, you have to actually say "i really fucked this up & it's on me" in order to be better. there's no room for projecting or acting like a victim. no room for excuses or acting like you don't care. you have to actually grow the fuck up & take responsibility for every consequence. there's no growth without accountability.
no one intimidates me. no one makes me feel small. I’m a force regardless of anyone else.
Hii angels ! I wanted to create this personally for me, and for all of you. 2020 was difficult, and moving on from that can require some major self reflection & work. Here’s how I’ll be working on myself & how you can too. 💗
Your Style/Aesthetic 🌸
Your style & aesthetic is important to YOU it’s how you go about buying yourself things, how you look at life, and what makes you unique ! Since 2021 is a new year, you may want to look into different styles & aesthetics that feel more fresh.
How to find your own (new) aesthetic and style :
Create lookbooks in your journal or pinterest.
Here’s an example of something I made :
When you find yourself ‘drawn’ to a certain piece of clothing, know that’s what you’re interested in ! Take note of it.
Go through your wardrobe & sell things that just aren’t your style anymore. After this you can use that money to buy clothes according to your potential new style.
Write down an ‘essentials’ list of all the pieces you KNOW you need. For example :
Plain ribbed crop top in white, black, and pink.
Knowing what colors you want in your wardrobe is very important. Like before, choose what you’re drawn to. Here’s some prissy girl essentials by @dreamgrlarchive
If you’re into this blog’s style, or the ‘pink & pretty glam’ style then check out this bratz style guide by @dreamgrlarchive 💗
Your Mental Health 🌸
I created a diagram for you to know what should & shouldn’t occupy your mind ! That’s you in the middle. Here’s what each thing represents :
What SHOULD be occupying your mind :
Nails - Taking care of yourself & participating in self care !
Water & Strawberries - Your health. Eating good and keeping yourself hydrated. Keep that in your mind ALWAYS.
Diary - Your journey as YOU. What are your current goals ? What makes you happy ? You should be writing this down somewhere. Either in your journal or phone.
Youtube - Watching positive people who inspire & motivate you.
What SHOULDN’T be occupying your mind :
Boys - Dudes who DON’T respect you & that waste your time, energy, and emotions.
Instagram - Social media influencers who cause you to compare yourself to them, toxic mutuals, and people you don’t like.
Clock - The past, don’t focus on the negative things in your past. When I say this I mean, don’t dwell on it. Journaling is a different story.
Mean girls - This just represents mean people in general, if someone doesn’t like you or says spiteful things about you, that’s not your problem. It’s their’s ! Forgive them and remain UNBOTHERED !
Try to re-program you brain to think like this ! It’ll protect your peace & happiness 💗.
Your Routines & Schedules 🌸
Your routines and schedules keep you accountable & on track. Creating a new routine for yourself can change your whole outlook on life !
Things to create / work on / fix :
Your sleeping schedule
Your workout routine
Morning + night skincare routine
Sunday reset ( laundry, cleaning your space, nail fill )
Affirmations / manifesting
How to go about these things :
Your sleeping schedule - Move your phone away from your bed. Keep yourself occupied ALL day until you go to sleep. ( so you’re not full of energy when you go to sleep )
Your workout routine - Download my workout planner here ( it’s free ) Watching youtube videos on workout exercises to find what works for you, and figuring out a realistic body goal is the best way to go. Learn more about diet & physique on this post by @dreamgrlarchive as well.

Affirmations / manifesting - If you’re interested in this, I recommend getting a journal dedicated to it. Find a good set of affirmations, write them, then read them out loud whenever you want. As for manifesting, you can read this post by @mulabby
Always remember to treat yourself like a princess !
Here’s a list of affirmations I’ve created for you all
Selfcare & Behavior 🌸
The way you carry & take care of yourself is very important. You want to be respected and valued, you deserve it ! Acting a sophisticated way is important, but controlling who you give your energy to is just as important.
Things that help you show confidence :
Good posture
Eye contact
Acknowledging the other person’s statements/body language
Important selfcare tips for going out/presenting yourself to the public :
Wearing your staple perfume/mist
Brushed teeth, with a mint or gum
Wearing clean, wrinkle free, clothing that compliments your body
Wearing a mask lol
( I do this even if I’m inside )
Self care habits that don’t involve products :
Reading affirmations to yourself
Journaling good and bad things everyday ( self reflection )
Staying hydrated
Your behavior
Don’t talk down or bad about others. Even if they do you wrong, keeping your thoughts to yourself and journaling them can save a lot of trouble, misconception, and self sabotage.
Just because you’re kind and respectful, doesn’t mean you have to be friendly and approachable. For jobs, yes that’s important obv, but when you’re out and about you have no obligation to feel other’s insecure, jealous energy.
There’s three main things to make sure your behavior and atitude is healthy :
*disclaimer: this applies to people you’re looking into becoming friends/aquatinted with*
Respect. Respect other people’s boundaries, choices, and journey. It’s not cute to be a toxic ‘idgaf about you’ person. Treat people how you would like to be treated.
Kindness. Dont judge others by their looks, if someone is a genuine person asking you something or coming to you for guidance, even if you’re declining, still be kind.
Understanding. Being understanding of someone else’s position & feeling empathy for others. This goes back to treating others the way you would like to be treated. Empathy is very important in every friendship, you want to comfort them & be involved with their ups and downs, it creates a stronger bond.
Be careful with who you’re involving yourself with ! If you get an off feeling, take a step back and remind yourself of your boundaries. 💗
I hope you enjoyed this post, I wanted to make lil collages n stuff. Lmk if you need help with anything else, my inbox is open. Mwah. 💓
Princess Tips
No matter what you look like, genuine kindness and good thoughts will shine through your face and make it look soft and beautiful
Rub a little moisturizer onto your cheekbones each morning to make your skin glow
Use pink eyeshadow during the day for an angelic look and gold eyeshadow for royal evening events
Dress in clothes that fit well and make you feel good. Make sure you wash them on the proper settings so they don’t fade or shrink and cut away loose threads
Practice good posture! You can’t look regal with your shoulders hunched or your head down (your imaginary tiara will fall off)
Speaking of tiaras, you can replicate this look on a daily basis by putting in a sparkly hair clip or two
Always be kind and compassionate to animals and children- even consider volunteering
You don’t need a lot of possessions to be royal, you just need to take care of what you have (go for quality over quantity when it comes to home decor and clothes)
Practice your hobbies and skills to be sophisticated and classy
Study hard in school since princesses are always well educated
Sing or dance around a little while doing boring household chores
Be polite to people but also know your worth with a quiet dignity and don’t tolerate being treated badly
Remember you’re a princess no matter what!
I love this mindset 💕
