la vie adorable /
the good life

I had come to the conclusion that I must really be French,
only no one had ever informed me of this fact.
I loved the people, the food, the lay of the land,
the civilized atmosphere,and the generous pace of life.
–Julia Child

WHY I BELIEVE TV SHOWS CAN BE TRANSFORMATIONAL

7/29/2019

0 Comments

 

Honestly: I don't watch much TV. Because I like to watch a programme or a film or a documentary from start till finish without a 5 minutes' commercial break every 10 minutes. But despite this, I've lately become a fan of a few TV-shows that give me enormous joy, and I could watch them for hours if possible, because they're such a great inspiration to me. And I've been asking myself: What is it about these shows that inspire me to a degree that I don't mind spending hours watching them?


From wreck to beauty

The answer is simple: They're all about creating beauty out of a seemingly hopeless "canvas", or from what might be called a "wreck". Whether it's a house that looks like it's ready for condemnation, or a garden that looks like nothing can grow there, or a person who's hiding behind an armor of make-up, false eyelashes, extreme outfits and sometimes even - quite literally - a mask, simply because he or she has lost their self-confidence ...

To watch how they're all lovingly taken care of by these very competent people, - interior designers, architects, contractors, realtors, beauticians, fashion designers, hairdressers, stylists, landscape architects, gardeners ... people who see these various (officially- or self-claimed) "wrecks"  for what they really are: Buildings, gardens and people with great potential. They see the natural beauty hidden underneath the seemingly unappealing or unattractive surface, and then lovingly, little by little, make sure the natural features are emphasized in such a way that the owners also learn to appreciate them and don't want to hide them anymore. To watch buildings, properties and people rise as the bird Phoenix from the ashes and - after careful restoration - stand before us in all their new-found confidence and glory ... That's so wonderfully inspiring!

Transformation from within

I believe that TV-shows like the "Fixer Uppers" with Chip and Joanna Gaines and  "Property Brothers" with Drew and Jonathan Scott, are really important. Because it's not just about fancy interiors and cosmetic changes. On one hand, Chip and Joanna Gaines, Drew and Jonathan Scott (and other people who have similar TV-shows) are highly professional in their craftmanship and really know what they're doing, and they create truly amazing changes to houses that seem beyond salvation. But more importantly: They're actually transforming people's lives in a significant way.

And shows like "100 % Hotter", where people go through what they call a "make-under", because it's more about "dressing down" or toning down an extreme way of showing up in the world, and helping individuals appreciate and embrace their natural selves... It's the same with them. The team of stylists, beauticians and hairdressers help people find a new confidence and pride in who they are, and help them find a style that emphasizes their natural beauty and make them feel fabulous. How great is that!?

This is important work. This is transformational. If you've ever thought about these TV-shows as superficial and shallow and all about "looks", then think again. It's not about that at all. It's not only about designing a beautiful interior, or about making everyone look like a "super-model". It's about releasing tension, stress and chaos in people's lives. It's about giving them their life back.  It's about giving them their self-confidence back. It's about joy, happiness and all good things.

The Female Life Designer

That's the kind of contribution I want to give to the world. It's becoming more and more clear to me. With my education as an interior designer, my skills in arts & crafts, my experience as an entrepreneur and as a coach, combined with my passion for all good things in life, I want to inspire, motivate and empower other women to create a beautiful life for themselves on all levels. To be confident in their own skin. To stand tall and walk with their heads held high. I want to inspire, motivate and empower you to be all that you can be.

Because this is important.

So I'm on a mission to serve you, and at the same time keep designing MY life the way I truly want it. That's why I call myself The Female Life Designer.

I hope you'll keep following me on this journey. I hope you'll join my tribe! Who knows where it might lead us?

    I'm
    Else Kosberg, entrepreneur, life designer, author and photographer.
    I'm a passionate Francophile, which means I'm

    especially dedicated to the French Lifestyle.
    For me, it's all about
    living with intention, living The Good Life - or La Vie Adorable, as I like to call it. My experience is that the French lifestyle has most of the elements that I find to be in alignment with that.

    I'm on a mission to inspire YOU to live "La Vie Adorable", too, - to live with intention, with as much joie de vivre as humanly possible, and with complete time- and money freedom.


    If you haven't already got the life you truly want, simply decide to start today, and then take one step at a time. "Be quick, but not in a hurry."  Start slow, but start today.

    Bisou,
    Else Kosberg
