How To Live An Elegant Life

One of the questions I'm often asked by viewers is - how can I live a more elegant life? In this episode I'm going to show you how I live life in an elegant and relaxed way, focussing on the small moments that enrich our every day. From enjoying even the most mundane task, to creating a beautiful lunch, how to dress elegantly, and what makes an elegant home.

Nicolas I am a 65 yr old woman. I recently retired 9 months ago. I find living in elegance is a choice and gift you give yourself and others as the come into your home. I was watching you preparing your lunch which I do every day I am home. Using my beautiful dishes, lighting candles, place mats and cloth napkins add such a special touch. I love playing gentle soft music in my home all of the time. It makes me feel that home is a place of beauty and relaxation. I shop at many fine stores but love estate sales, consignment stores, and like shops to find unique pieces to add to my home. It is a joy to find treasure, bring it into my life, and giving it new life instead of it being destroyed. I also shop for designer clothing at resale shops, it is amazing what you can find some new articles of clothing w/tags still attached. You are absolutely right you don, t need a lot of money. I love your videos so much, and find you so very inspiring. I truly look forward to what you share in 🎉each post you bless us with. Be safe, happy and healthy. 💐

You always make us feel welcome in your home and life. Wear kindness like a garment and you’ll always be elegantly dressed. 💙

"Elegance is for everyone." What a marvelous quote! ❤

Nicolas, I am getting married today and you are the person I wanted to hear speaking as I got ready for this beautiful day. Your kindness, voice, elegance and advise are all so appreciated. Thank you for all that you do to brighten our days!!...xoxoxo

"Elegance is a mindset. It is taking the time to be present in your life and do all things in a way that is going to enrich it, so that even a mundane task, like sweeping leaves, becomes a moment to enjoy and to cherish." Beautiful definition.

I think we crave this lifestyle because we are so fed up with how the World is currently. Watching your videos makes me feel like I am dreamily in another world that is both comforting and somehow familiar. It’s almost like a beautiful meditation and reminder to enjoy the moment. ❤

Isn’t Nicolas a wise soul for his young age? He includes us, but never makes his audience feel as though we’ve fell short before we get started. Ty you for all your content. He’s pure in heart, class, and character. ❤️

3 Ways Nicolas Has Taught Me To Be Elegant:
1. Always have fresh flowers 💐 in the house.
2. Using my good dishes even when alone. Right now, I’m using my Thanksgiving dishes and next month I’ll switch to my Christmas dishes.
3. Afternoon tea ☕️ is an elegant ritual.

Your parents can be very proud of the young man they've raised, and the young man can be very proud of all he's accomplished so far. I'm looking forward to watching you soar.

This was the first vlog that I actually teared up. I do not like eating alone. I use distractions with my meals instead of enjoying what I have prepared (not so elegant). I will change this immediately as you taught how. Thanks Nicolas. You a beautiful, elegant soul.

There is a saying ....”Money cant buy you class”. I would say the same of elegance, Nicolas you are elegant without the expensive clothing or most expensive home decor. You have great taste and moreover a beautiful heart. Thank you for this lovely video.🌹

I love this quote... "You can live an elegant life by making everything that you do your own beautiful moment." Such a lovely sentiment. Be aware of what brings you joy and savor every task and moment. Thanks for reminding me that I need to practice slowing down and being quiet and relaxed.

“Elegance is for everyone” is such a gracious statement from the extraordinary gentleman that you are. It so perfectly captures what your channel is about. If you write a home & lifestyle book that should be your title. Thank you so much for inspiring so many to live a pleasurable, peaceful, thoughtful and beautiful life with even the simplest examples of elegance.💗💜♥️

I love how Nicolas spends time cleaning and beautifying his outdoor dining table....then sits on the steps :)

It's nice that you took the gift of the measuring spoons in the spirit in which it was intended rather than take offence. That's real class.

[feliciapillow]

Right on Nicolas!!! I agree with you 150%." Elegance is for everyone". I would never mistake you for a pretentious, uptight person. Your kindness of heart and spirit shines through. We use to say, " his parents raised him right." Sincerely.

I'm probably in the small percentage of women that hate clothes and shoe shopping. I shop when I need certain items of course but I rather shop for things for my home. This was a very elegant video and always so relaxing!!

I’m 66. I find that keeping your own home clean and tidy (whether an apartment, house, RV, or condo) is imperative. Do the dishes, make your bed, set an elegant table for meals, savor what you have and live within your means. You are educating many. 🥰❤️
