The Art of Living Well
It’s all about you and the messages you send out. Everything you say, do and wear make a statement about you and how you live your life. It’s about how you treat yourself and others. It’s about how you take care of the details and it’s about your personal and professional style.
We have many opportunities to show great taste and style. Quality, well designed clothing and products are available in every price range in stores ranging from Nordstrom’s and Bloomingdale’s to Walmart, Target and Kmart.
Leaf through the many catalogs that arrive in the mail weekly. They are full of ideas, resources, tips, ideas and strategies for presenting yourself at your best and decorating your home. You can easily turn any space into a chic home, a special garden, a memorable dinner party or update your look with a few accessories.
When I think about the different rooms in my home, special memories come to mind. The living room to connect with others for conversation and beverages and the dining room for sharing meals and bonding with family and friends.
Unfortunately, the dining room in many homes is used only for special events. My dining room is ready for entertaining in a moments notice. I also host my Modern day Finishing School weekend events in my home. Details at www.gloriastarr.com/finishing-school.htm
Create an atmosphere by incorporating all of the sense. The magic of an event comes alive when our senses are awakened. Add elements that appeal to your eyes and your ears. Select fabrics that add the touch sensation. Then add the elements of smell and taste. Magic is created when you add all five modalities.
Music, candles, fabrics for color and sensation, incense, cinnamon sticks and cloves simmering on the stove, and food that tempts the eye and the palette.
Every day can be a special event. Average is so prevalent around the world. Rise above the norm, the average and the almost accepted casualness. Step up, create magic and lead in your choice of clothing, choice of friends, manner of speaking, dining with grace and elegance, books you read and movies you watch.
Everything you say and do makes a statement about you and your needs and values.
