WHEN it comes to social media, there are some things you should keep to yourself – according to an elegance coach.
While posting to socials is an innocent thing that most people partake in, some things may be making you appear cheap.
“How to have a classy and well-put-together social media profile,” elegance coach Anna Bey began in a video.
“I’m gonna share with you those crucial things that you really need to be cautious of whether to post or not post on social media.”
She began with the topic of provocative or sexy videos.
“We have two types of provocative pictures online. We have the obvious sexy pictures, then we have the silent, kind of not obvious sexy pictures,” she explained.
Bey said to go for the less obvious sexy pictures.
Next, she cautioned viewers to not overshare/brag about their relationships on social media.
“It’s fine, but do it in a balanced way. Don’t be every other day or other week bragging about your relationship. I think we all know how nauseating that could be,” she said.
She explained that an appreciation post once in a while on occasions like Valentines Day is acceptable though.
“The next one is such a big pet peeve of mine, I find this to be so ridiculous.
“I’m sure you have seen many people, especially on like Twitter or Instagram stories post random passive-aggressive quotes, but deep down you know that that quote is directed towards someone.”
Instead of publicly taking your disappointment to the internet, Bey suggested talking problems out like adults instead of being “immature.”
“Next in line, I’m sure some of you have heard this, because this is actually a pretty old-school tip if you want to be elegant,” Bey said.
“I’m talking about never be photographed with cigarettes or alcohol in the picture.”
Bey said that when you’re out partying, you’ll want to be a little more discreet, as those pictures will probably be up forever.
“What happens on the internet, stays on the internet,” she said.
Finally, she cautioned people to never go online when they’ve had too many drinks.
“Even when you’re tipsy, cause you know what happens.”
She cited a drunken voice/slow speech and slurring on video as some of the things that could make you look not put together on social media.
