West Status built the road map discovering reputable ways to emit authenticity in the chaos. We share ways to purely be your elite self, your higher status.
On Friday mornings, we just expose; spilling the tea all over the place.
ONE. The Art of Conversation
The concept of The Art of Conversation has significantly influenced our approach to interpersonal communication. Familiar with it? Once acquainted, its impact on conversations becomes lasting, brace yourself.
The theory posits that in every interaction or conversation, one faces two choices.
The first option involves delving deeper by asking more about the story being told.
The second option is to relate the story to yourself.
Consider this scenario: It’s a Friday evening, and you find yourself in a conversation with a friend who excitedly shares that they have just returned from a trip to Europe. In this instance, your first option states you can either inquire further about their European experience, for instance, asking, 'Where did you travel in Europe?' The second option states, that one might opt to swiftly relate - sharing a similar personal experience like, 'Oh, you went to Europe? I was just there!'

This theory enhances the second option tends to project characteristics of a 'one upper' and may come across as superficial. Looking to quickly divert the attention towards oneself hastily.
Conversely, the first option, involving more inquiries about the other person's story, demonstrates genuine interest, signaling that you value their narrative. This approach fosters a connection on a deeper, more personal level, contributing to a memorable and cherished conversation.
Two choices, choose wisely!

FIVE. Find Out Your Love Language
With Valentine's Day 12 days away, do you know your Love Language? There are five love languages as first introduced in 1992 by marriage counselor Dr. Gary Chapman in his book “The 5 Love Languages.”
The five love languages are:
Words of affirmation
Quality time
Physical touch
Acts of service
Receiving gifts
*FYI, the concept of love languages extends beyond romantic relationships; it can be valuable in platonic connections as well! Find out yours.
SIX. Lip Plumper That is Worth the Hype
We caved and tried the dupe, Essence What The Fake Lip Plumping, in an attempt to replicate the effects of Dr. Dennis Gross Lip Plump. Essence, essentially, scored a flat ZERO compared to Dr. Dennis.
Affordable, yes - volumizing, absolutely not.
Dupe: people sharing their findings of affordable alternatives or knock-off versions of popular brands or products
