Georgous honey ! And this color on your skin is just soo chef kiss !

Great video! Your diet is exactly like mine (except the cheese). I'm in my 50's and people say I am more fit than women 20 years younger. I am still at my high school weight and I run 5 miles a day. Diet is so important and will keep you young. Keep it up and you will be happy in your later years.

Thank you! Yes! I have basically been the same size since college. 50 young and fine !

First, congratulations on reaching 30k! I remember when you said you have an empire to build, and I'm soo grateful to be a witness of your growth. I was there before you hit the 1K. I would like to thank you, because your content has helped me to transition to my no pants journey. I was looking for some inspiration to adopt a more feminine style without being too sexy or too old when I found your channel. You're feminine, mature, beautiful, stylish, it's really a pleasure to listen to you. Wish you the best for your goals. 🎉✨

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hello and thank you so much. This means more than you know. I hop to keep inspiring and grow this community.

[@habbaahevans3929]

Hi, thank you for the many inspiring videos. This is my first time ever commenting on KZbin. I’m glad you’re speaking out on the cultural of inappropriate dressing of young girls. I believe your podcast will help and educate many. No one is perfect and everyone is capable of changing , even their style.

Hello and thank you. You are correct, I just need to get out of my own way. Thank you for supporting the community.

[@Bella_Noches_]

Thank you for giving us insight into your life. I really enjoy your content and the conversations you have. It seems that there is such a gap in women who are eloquent and are firm in their their traditional/conservative beliefs and upbringings. I respect that you just do you and make content that other women like myself can relate to. I would definitely tune in to your podcast!

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hey Gail! Thank you so much you have supported me basically from the beginning. I have looked up the phrase "pick me" several times lol, but I am not really clear on what it is because the definition seems to change based on the situation or evolve. But from what I gather " a pick me" is a woman who is desperate to gain the approval of men, talking about and putting other women down. This is the complete opposite of what my channel is about. I seek to uplift women.

11:57 I've been vegan for 8 years now. I refused to eat any of the vegan cheeses for the same reason! As of a few years ago, I discovered VIOLIFE cheese. Violife is the only vegan brand that I love, I even eat their cheese plain. I love their mature cheddar block and have made amazing vegan mac & cheese from it, but it is sooo difficult to find anymore. They have various shredded, sliced, parmesean, butter, cream cheese and sour cream... They are all great!

[@KlassicallyKept]

thank you for this! Adding to my list.

[@reneejohnson7742]

Aaahh you are rocking this color!! Love the entire look 💜 Congrats to 30k girl!! 👏🏾 well deserved. I can eat fruits and veggies all day. At first the beets weren’t it for me but using lemon, lime, and/or herbs I’ve come to love it. Especially juicing them. I drink water, tea, and coffee nothing else. Haven’t had soda/juice in like 5 years. I’ve been vegan for almost 6 years and the vegan cheese has definitely gotten better over the years

[@KlassicallyKept]

Thank you! Lilac has quickly become a favorite color of mine to wear . I love fruits and vegetable, I could eat the all day. You are the 3rd or 4th person to talk about beets and lemons, dk I might have to leave that for yall, I am to traumatized lol. lol I am definitely going to try some of the vegan cheese options people have suggested.

[@michelleej]

Hi Soror! 💕💚 I’ve been vegan for almost 15 years. The cheese is a lot better. It can still be tricky to melt. I enjoy the Chao and Violife brands. I’m particular about which restaurants I order pizza from. Here in Richmond, we have a few restaurants that don’t use the vegan cheese that is available to consumers. One developed their own and another orders it from a company directly. Also, I ONLY like pickled beets. Without the vinegar and sugar, they taste like dirt 😂

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hello! Okay so I am not the only one who dislikes the cheese and beets lol. I will definitely check out the brands you mentioned !

Great video! I think your diet goes a long way to giving you great skin and clear eyes. My question: You mentioned scheduling. I too live and die by my schedule. I'm currently looking for new scheduling apps/software and a new planner. Which ones do you use and/or recommend?

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hello! On my phone I just set reminders on the calendar, I do not have an app. Planners, a little tradition, my mother always buys me one lol. She typically buys them from Target.

Good vegan cheese for people who don’t like vegan cheese list: Violife- shredded cheese (cheddar/ mozzarella) Miyokos- liquid mozzarella for pizzas is the absolute best Follow your heart- (feta /blue cheese/parmesan) I’m not vegan, just dairy free (lactose intolerant)

Thank you! Saving this right now !

[@Georgiaa_]

You are absolutely gorgeous 😍 How do you deal with being gluten free when you go on vacation or go out to eat at a restaurant? I have a gluten sensitivity and it is so hard being gluten free especially here in Germany where most Restaurants have no glutenfree options. New Subbie 💕💕

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hello , thank you, and welcome to the community! I have become a label reader and menu looker-upper lol. When we go on vacation, we are more than likely in a foreign area. So if possible I will look up the menu before hand and see what options they have. They typically will have a little something ( more than likely salad or salmon. ) If not we will go elsewhere, my family is supportive and will sometimes look at the menu before I do lol. Restaurants here at home I pretty much know where I can go. We do have new restaurants that pop up and I look at the menu. A new gluten free bakery just open that I am excited to try. I am not sure about the market in Germany but options are getting better. Also don't be afraid to ask for substitutions or ask questions. For instance if we go to a breakfast place and they do not have gluten free flower for waffles or pancakes and no gf bread for French toast I will ask for an omelet.

Sodas are gross. To me it's a chemical layered wih sugarsto disguise the chemical taste. It's too too sweet and nothing natural taste like that. I'm a smoothie girl mainly veggies with light fruits 😋

[@KlassicallyKept]

Love fruits and vegetables ! When I was younger whenever we would go out my mother would allow mw to get a small Sprite. Now it is all too sweet.

[@nanatav]

Hey :) Much like you I'm gluten sensitive and lactose intolerant (not 100% sure this one is your reason for going lactose free). Here are my 2 cents from my personal experience. Lactose: there are some cow's milk cheeses that are naturally lactose free (feta, pecorino romano, flamengo), you can do your research and test it out. You can also try cheeses made from other animal's milk like goat, these are not my preferred ones but are an option. Side note: I'm with you on the vegan cheese opinion, I was proper horrified when I tried those. Gluten: I find that when I make bread from scratch at home using organic ingredients, I have 0 issues with bread. I've been going on a year with bread making and I've been doing fine health wise. Now when trying to bake other recipes with organic flour that have a lesser fermentation periods it goes very bad. For baking I tend to use einkorn wheat or oat flour. I find the food texture and the price to be much better than the gluten free options. Also I loved what you were wearing, the color looks wonderful on you and the head wrap was perfect (I dream of being able to do one as neat as yours 😂)!

Hello Nana ! Thank you so much for this I am screenshoting this right now. For the bread do you use a bread maker? The headwrap lol, trust me I have tied some and they look crazy. Practice , practice, practice!

[@klaudiacaroline2574]

Do you mean drinking chocolate?

Hello. I would hate to give up chocolate and I do also love dark chocolate. I have heard this before but I believe this is more or so accurate when you have lung or kidney disease. I have never had any issues with milk or dark chocolate. Prior to 2017 I was eating meat. For me I feel better when I do not eat heavy foods.

Finding out what one's body needs to thrive is beneficial. Having health issues myself my body definitely tells me what it likes and don't like. And the older one gets what the body liked when one was younger it may not tolerate when one gets older. Have to change accordingly even if that means making substitutions in your dietary needs.(Sometimes it's just not fun to miss out on foods that was enjoyed previously but not anymore 😔) Looking forward to the time when Jehovah God through His Son Jesus brings perfect conditions to the whole earth where righteous mankind will receive everlasting life and all suffering is done away with and forgotten forever. (Gen 1:1,27-30; Psalms 37:11,29;83:18; Isaiah 33:24; 65:17,25; Job 33:25; Matt 24:3,14,42,44; Rev 21:3-6) I loved pizza especially the veggie or supreme with extra cheese 🍕. and a thin crust. But that has to be a treat moreso than a meal now 😌 Did you know that cucumbers are botanically a fruit in the MELON family because it grows from flowers and has seeds? It's considered a vegetable in cooking, however.😁 I love melons especially for the water content. I like the melon mix with watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melons and cucumber. 🥝🍉🥒 I like a good salad with a nice dressing (Italian, ranch or raspberry vinaigrette) preferred) Salmon is my preferred fish (but being a southern lady I still love a good catfish meal 😄) Being modest in dress and grooming and how one carries oneself in public as well as in private is part of having a godly type lifestyle. The world promotes the immodest ways that only the "wicked one" influences most. 1 Tim 2:9;Micah 6:8;1 John 5:19 Loved the lilac color on you,Mya. It brought out your skin tone quite "beautifully"(as you would say 😄) The head wrap and dress made you look like a "klassically Kept" Jamaican lady 😁(see what I did there 😅) Having a schedule and routine is "very good" like Tabitha Brown says 😄. And setting time for oneself and for having fun with family and friends is as well. Spontaneity and expecting the unexpected makes life interesting too. Looking forward to seeing your podcasts. 🎉 Thanks for sharing and your responses to the questions. 🙏🏽💐😀💜

Hey Inya! Thank you, the lilac has quickly become one of my favorite colors to wear. I am learning this as well, my body will quickly let me know if it does not like something.

[@KlassicallyKept]

I have looked up the phrase several times as well lol and I am still not sure I fully grasp the concept. The person who called me a "pick a me" stated that because I want to tell women to cover up that I think I am better than them and that a man should choose me over them.

[@caribanna1865]

Huh??

[@antoinettechevalier2453]

Holy cow …. I’m pretty sure she means she’s of Jamaican ancestry (that’s why she mentioned “rice & peas” as a dish she enjoys, because it’s a classic Jamaican meal). I’m pretty confident that she is “American”; however, saying you’re American gives little-to-no insight into your traditions, heritage, etc. This was a Q &A so that she could share more about herself than is evident simply from the videos she posts. So she mentioned Jamaican heritage. And just to explain further …. If I were a KZbinr wanting to share more of myself with viewers, I’d say “New Orleans native, French Creole ancestry, Catholic upbringing, PhD, etc “: I’d take for granted that folks would know I was “American” (accent, features, clothing); but giving info on my background is is how viewers would possibly *know* me better and therein understand some of my content.

[@KlassicallyKept]

Thank you Antoinette

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hello Sara. I am assuming this is your first time coming across one of my videos and I thank you for the engagement. I have stated in many videos that my mother is Jamaican and my father is African American. The rice comment was a joke. Jamaicans love rice ( rice and peas ) and it is a running joke that rice ( rice and peas) must be apart of every meal. One mothers days someone forgot the rice and peas ad my grandmother was fit to be tied!

@@KlassicallyKept Is Antoinette one of your grandmas come to defend? Unnecessary. I've watched and enjoyed your hair videos for a while now.
