The Chic Assignment Check-In May 2021

 

Welcome to The Chic Assignment Check-In for May. We are going to learn more about Dvořák and Wordsworth, plus much more. Invite a friend to take part in The Chic Assignment to add more arts and culture to his or her life. 

⚜️Chic Assignment no. 1 Dvořák's Humoresque No. 7 in G-flat Major, Op. 101

We have enjoyed this vibrant performance by Yo Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman

Antonín Leopold Dvořák (1841 - 1904) was one of the first Czech composers to receive worldwide recognition. Today we read 10 interesting facts about Dvořák from Parker Symphony Orchestra. 

⚜️Chic Assignment no. 2 Enjoy the poetry of William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)

William Wordsworth was an English Romantic poet who lived from 1770 - 1850. You can check out much of his poetry free online or read a collected volume of his works.  

Today we are reading, She Was a Phantom of Delight.

⚜️Chic Assignment no. 3 Fine-tune your morning routine

This month I shared my morning routine as part of Mega Motivation along with many other lovely YouTubers. I hope that video gave you inspiration to fine-tune your own morning routine. 

⚜️Chic Assignment no. 4 Focus on good posture

Posture is one of the key aspects of good deportment. This month we were conscious of our posture and did our best to improve it. We are going to dive into more deportment topics in June on The Daily Connoisseur to keep the discussion going. For more, check out my book, Polish Your Poise with Madame Chic.

Comment of the Week

Linda A. writes, "My husband gave me great advice when someone asks either a rude or personal question: you respond by saying, “why do you ask”? This way you turn the tables toward them. 😉"

Linda, I find that this is a good response, however, they will likely say, "I just want to know", and you will be back at square one with deciding how to answer the personal question. Although this is a great way to bring awareness to the questioner. Thanks for watching! 

I would love to hear about your Chic Assignment experience. Let us know in the comments and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog.
