To: Dolls From: Ebony Nikita For: Your New Favorite Lipstick Hello Dolls, If you have seen my Housewife Diary Vlogs, then you may notice I have a special place in my heart for luxury make up. I am in love with the Dior make up products that I have tried, therefore this one has high expectations. Dior premiered their Rouge Dior lipstick with several new formulas. The new formulas are in satin, velvet, matte and metallic. I was mostly interested in the velvet formula which led to my purchase of ‘Favorite’ 760 velvet lipstick. 'Rouge Dior lipstick 760 favorite' 'Rouge Dior lipstick 760 favorite' In My Housewife Diary Vlog , you Dolls went with me to Nordstrom at the Phipps Plaza to purchase the newest Dior lipstick. At 14:30 seconds, you will see me apply my new lipstick with anticipation and give a live first impressions. NEW FEATURES 'Rouge Dior lipstick 760 favorite' 'Rouge Dior lipstick 760 favorite' ` The Rouge Dior lipstick is featured in brand new Dior packaging. The design showcases the Christian Dior logo, CD, on the front of the lipstick. This adds an elegant detail to the lipstick compact. Another new feature about this lipstick is that it is a refillable . Currently on the website, there are several shades you can you refill this lipstick with. This is a great way to avoid waste. Nothing makes me happier than pulling out this lipstick for touchup while I am out and about. WEAR TIME From 'Feminine Valentine's Day Lookbook' The Perfect Red for Date Night As for wear time, this lipstick has the average lasting power compared to other luxury lipsticks. I will mention this lipstick lasts longer than my Pat McGrath Mattetrance and Luxetrance lipsticks. There weren't any claims for this lipstick to have a 24-hour wear time or anything of that nature. Overall it lasts pretty nicely. While eating or drinking, this lipstick will fade in the center part of the lips. This is not anything new, especially if you are used to wearing lipsticks. The lipstick is buildable so reapplying or touching up my lipstick after dinner is not a problem for me. At least it gives me a chance to show off the beautiful CD lipstick packaging. THE VELVET FORMULA 'Rouge Dior lipstick 760 favorite' This new formula is very enticing by its name. Due to it's application, it does live up to its name. Imagine applying velvet to your lips. That is the only way I could think of describing this. It is a true velvet lipstick. It is beautiful and luxurious to the touch. It is such a pleasure to apply. The opacity of the lipstick is nice and it doesn't take long to build up. As I mentioned before, this formula is buildable and suitable for reapplication or touchups. I do apply a brownish-red lip liner to help the lipstick compliment my skin tone complexion. In My Housewife Diary Vlog , you’ll hear me say mention my first choice of shade was the classic red 999. Unfortunately it was sold out at the Dior counter so I did settle for this shade '760 favorite'. The shade 760 has a visible pink undertone while comparing it side-by-side to the shade 999. The shade 999 is supposed to compliment every skin tone complexion. Overall I’m happy with my shade selection. It is truly the perfect red lipstick for me. FINAL THOUGHTS 'Rouge Dior lipstick 760 favorite' 'Rouge Dior lipstick 760 favorite' I would recommend this Rouge Dior Velvet lipstick for any Doll who is looking for the perfect red lipstick or looking to expand your lipstick collection. Again, every Doll should have the PERFECT red lipstick in her makeup wardrobe. I would first advise you to explore Dior's Rouge lipstick. The classic 999 shade is a universal red and it is a perfect starting point. Dior does have other variations of red lipstick in different formulas like my 760 Favorite velvet lipstick. Their various red shades carry different undertones to suit your needs. I will be purchasing more Dior lipsticks in the future. Have you tried any of the Rouge Dior lipsticks? What is your favorite lipstick formula? Liquid, matte, satin, glossy? Comment below! Let's Chat, Dolls. Always with Love, Ebony Nikita

Hello Dolls, As a housewife, the mornings are a big part of me fulfilling my role. This is the time when I'm able to make my husband's mornings peaceful & more enjoyable. I am able to set up my home to be clean, warm and welcoming for me & my family. This is also the time for me to start my day off the right way. It's easy to sleep in and go through your day carelessly. Yet, consistency and discipline offers the greatest reward. In my Updated 6 a.m. Morning Routine Vlog , I share with you my new homemaking routine from the time I wake up, until noon. This new morning routine has helped me stay productive & have a peaceful, enjoyable morning that I look forward to. Here's How You can Create Your Own Productive & Practical Morning Routine: 1. List Everything You'd Like to Accomplish in the Morning Ask Yourself these Questions: What does a productive morning routine look like to me? What do I want to accomplish in the morning? What healthy habits do I want to start? Jot down your answers. This will make planning your morning easier. You get to choose what you dedicate time to when you first wake up. This is the perfect opportunity to establish healthy habits. Don't forget to include morning chores or tasks like washing dishes, taking a shower & other daily tasks you have to complete in the morning. The bonus of waking up earlier, is the ability to accomplish more within your day Morning Activity Examples: Dedicated Bible Study Dedicated Reading Time to a Book of your Choice Morning Workouts & Exercising Enough Time to Cook a Healthy Breakfast Leisurely Time Morning Hobby Morning Walking or Jogging Completing more Chores Running Errands or Small Tasks More Time to Primp & Ready Yourself for the Day *NO MORE RUSHING in the MORNING* 2. Make it an Experience Waking up early, shouldn't be dreadful. This morning routine will be one for you to truly enjoy & WANT to stick to. For which ever tasks that you're planning to include in your morning, make it an EXPERIENCE. Brew a cup of coffee to go along with that book. Sit by the window & read. Play light & calming music to get your day started. Make mornings appeal to you. What movie have you seen where the mornings look relaxing? Watch other's morning routines & pick out what you like from theirs. Build your own DREAM MORNING. Here's my past Housewife Diary Vlogs , where I share my peaceful morning routines with you. Get some inspiration! 3. Give Yourself Enough Free Time Although we have these tasks & activities we'd like to accomplish at the end of morning, you have to be PRACTICAL. A big part of a productive morning routine, is the practicality of a keeping up with your routine. If its constantly go, go, go, you probably won't be excited to keep your new routine going. It would be hard to keep up with & it may make you feel worn out. Along with the rest of your planned activities, be sure to give yourself at least 15 minutes of leisure time or add an extra 5 minutes to each activity. 4. Choose the PROPER Time to Wake Up Sounds simple right? Yet, this is where most morning routines FAIL. Allow time management to come into play. Based off of what tasks you'd like to accomplish in the morning, you have to choose what wake up time allows you to do so. I roughly estimated how long each activity would take. I gave myself extra time on each one to be REALISTIC. After I counted all of the time each activity took, then I chose my official wake up time. 5. Reschedule Your Bedtime Its said that its best to get a minimum 8 hours of sleep. Based on your new wake up time, you need to choose the proper bed time. This will allow you to have enough rest so in the morning you'll be able to complete all of your tasks. Hence why I now wake up at 6am in the morning. This allows me to complete cleaning, cooking, exercising, relaxing, primping and pampering. Keep in Mind... You have to get your body used to waking up earlier. I took about one and a half weeks to get used to waking up at 6am. Be disciplined. You won't be able to hold onto a good habit if you aren't consistent with it. Change your mindset about waking up early . If you're a night owl like me, you may look at waking up early as a real challenge. Remind yourself of the benefits of waking up early & what you want to accomplish. Try out your new morning routine for about 1 week then adjust as needed . You may realize that you like to take extra long showers in the morning or you may want to dedicate your reading time to in the evening instead. Allow yourself to learn what truly works for you in the morning. What are you including your productive morning routine? What are good habits that you’re going to start to do in the morning?

Hello Dolls, As many of you know, I am currently dealing with an unexpected loss within my family. I appreciate the support you’ve shown me in the comment section of my community tab on YouTube. I’ve been taking things day by day. Blessed by God, I’ve been able to spend time with my family. I had the perfect day with my father and grandmother. Also, my husband comforts me every day which has really helped me. From my Community Tab on YouTube, “Hello Dolls, for this week there won’t be another video or Live Tea Time & Chit Chat. Unfortunately, I lost my grandfather. He was an elegant, admirable and smart man. We shared the same birthday and had a special connection. We were very alike. Ive learned so much from him. I was hoping to make more memories with him and to have him meet his future great grandchildren. I’m taking this time for myself & with my family. I’m trying to stay busy but also trying to heal from this loss ✝️💜 Reading all of your sweet comments under my videos causes me to smile during this time. Thank you for always taking the time to share & connect with me. Thank you for understanding Dolls. Perhaps I may upload next week, I’m going to take things day by day” Double Chocolate chip muffins. When I’m alone and to myself, I’ve been trying to keep busy. Cooking and baking has been a stress reliever for me. It’s also a chance for me to have fun. Cooking gives yourself a chance to block out the world and concentrate on your recipe. Baking does the same for me. I’ve channeled into my inner chef these past couple of days. The best part is the finish result. It’s when you’re able to plate your dish, sit down and enjoy. Then you try your first bite of your creation and there’s that moment of peace. I've been gravitating to healthy recipes to improve my eating lifestyle. When it comes to baking, there’s a give and take for healthy desserts. When the pandemic began, I started baking cookies and other desserts every week. It was a nice, sweet treat to snack on throughout the week. Unfortunately for me, I have a bigger sweet tooth than my husband AND I’m at home more than usual. I learned my lesson and now I’m geared towards baking healthier desserts. Now some recipes are simply sweet treats and can’t really be made as a healthy version like chocolate croissants. So I am picking and choosing each one every other week. I've gotten requests for separate cooking and baking videos on my YouTube channel. I would love to share my favorite recipes with you Dolls. I am introducing a recipe section on my blog and I will be sure to share recipes with you on my YouTube channel. As for dinners, I’ve been excited to simply cook. Whether it’s the usual recipes or new ones, I’ve fallen back in love with it. I’ve always enjoyed cooking, but now it’s more of a cooking therapy session for me. For any of you who are going through a similar situation like me, I would suggest you to find a hobby at home or out of the house that you could enjoy. Spending time with my loved ones have really helped me a lot too. Every day may invoke a different emotion. Through cooking and baking, I’m able to exercise my creativity which is a stress reliever for me. This has been a mini therapy session for my nerves and mind. Thank you Dolls once again for the constant support and love you’ve sent my way. When the time is right, I’ll post a new video on YouTube. It may be next week because I miss chatting with you Dolls. I want to make sure I’m giving myself a chance to properly heal from this event. I look forward to sharing recipes with you in the future. Hope to see you soon, Ebony Nikita

Hello Dolls, It is now officially spring! When I think of spring, I think of flowers in bloom, dainty dresses and a fresh home. Welcome in spring by refreshing your home from the winter season. As homemakers, its important that we care for our homes and keep up with the seasons. Keeping up with the seasons, allows us to refresh our home accordingly. In the winter season, we are to make our homes cozier. In the spring season, we are to lighten up our home for a fresher feeling. Here are simple ways to refresh your home for the spring season. 1. Weekly Fresh Flowers As you Dolls see in my Housewife Diary Vlogs , I enjoy creating floral arrangements for my home. It's a great relaxing and creative feminine hobby for all and especially for homemakers. Flowers bring a refreshing ambiance into a home. It can turn a cold, stale environment, to a fresh and lively one. It truly brings life into any room. I would place fresh flowers in every room, but a great start would be in your living room, dining room and bathroom . These are common living places in your home. Adding flowers would make a statement and bring much needed liveliness and elegance. Watch me create lovely spring flower arrangements on my patio in my Housewife Diary Vlog . I purchased flowers from my local farmer's market and they look darling in my home. 2. Decluttering: start small This is perhaps the most famous way to welcome in spring. It's time to go through each area of your, declutter and choose which one stays and which one goes. Spring cleaning is a vital way to welcome in the season. Having a cluttered home does not provide a cozy, elegant and welcoming for anyone who lives there. Its important for us homemakers to provide our family with the best home environment we can. Hoarding and neglecting cluttered closets, drawers or other parts of your home isn't a healthy environment to be in. It turns into an unhealthy habit. Finding solutions to disorganized areas of your home is apart of the homemaker's role. 3. Create or Update Storage System When its time to refresh your home, it's important to pinpoint weak organization points in your home and create new solutions for them. In my past blog post , ' Creating an Organized & Visually Appealing Home ', I spoke about how my goal is to create an aesthetically pleasing storage system for my home's trouble areas. My main areas of focused are my linen closet, refrigerator and pantry. I would invest in purchasing bins and baskets for closets. For areas like your pantry, under the kitchen and bathroom sink, it's useful to purchase bins to keep those small areas organized. 4. New Dinnerware One of the best ways to refresh your home is to purchase dinnerware. Whether its new glass cups, seasonal saucers, or utensils, its a joy to dine with new dinnerware. I recently purchased modern, square dinner plates. My husband absolutely loves them. It makes a regular meal feel like you're dining at an upscale restaurant. Here are my favorite picks from *Amazon- Click & Shop! *Affiliate links. I earn a small commission. Shopping through my links helps support my blog and YouTube content. Thank you! 5. Seasonal Accents Make your home cozy and refreshing for the new season. Cycling out old pillows and throw blankets for new colors and styles instantly refreshes a home. This simple update allows your home to feel customized and new. When I lived at home before I married, my mother would switch out the living room's pillows, blankets and curtains for every season. In the fall time the accent color would be orange, for winter it was deep red, for spring it was yellow or green and for summer it was island blue. Those simple changes allowed our home to feel refreshed with a new season. I looked forward to decorating for each season. After a while, you're able to mix and match with your décor collection. Have you begun spring cleaning? What is your favorite way to welcome in the new season? Comment below! Let's Chat, Dolls Always with Love, Ebony Nikita

The turning of the summer season requires new beauty must-haves to cater to our seasonal needs. Shall we begin? Cream Blush Okay Dolls, any cream blush with the PML foundation is a pure modelesque, perfect-skin dream. My current favorite is the Shiseido Minimalist whipped powder blush in the perfect pinky coral color in Sonoya 1. If you can find it, buy it! Its been going in & out of stock for the past couple of months now. I’m afraid it may be discontinued soon! It’s lightweight, velvety and melts in the skin beautifully. I lightly applied my Shiseido Whipped Blush for a naturally flushed look. It’s buildable so you can really apply it lightly for that barely-there, natural makeup look or you can go full Kawaii-girl blush without looking crazy. I used this blush in my 6 am Housewife Morning Routine Vlog. The Westman Atelier blush cream stick is another great selection. I have it in the color Poppet. Watch My 15-minute Feminine Beauty routine to see it in action. My next cream blush on my wishlist is the LYS matte cream blush in ANY color. I’ve swatched their shades & their formula seems unique & yummy! Either way, cream blush melts into your skin and gives you a naturally flushed look. I even wear it on my no-foundation days. I can’t do without it this summer! Sunscreen And now I’m a believer . Honestly, I remained unbothered about applying sunscreen every day. I come from a family of islanders & southerners, where both climates get HOT. I only knew of one aunt who wore sunscreen every day. So, sunscreen wasn’t a priority for me unless I decided to go to the beach. Ever since my esthetician gave me sunscreen after getting a TCA peel, I have really seen the difference when it comes to dark spots after acne marks. (BTW my skin has been HEALTHILY GLOWING after that TCA Peel, amen ! I’ll share more about my experience in my next vlog) Now, I don’t leave the house without a quick sunscreen application. I’ve been using my esthetician’s brand, but since running out I’ve used the Innisfree sunscreen . Foundation This is what healthy skin looks like. I was daring enough to wear the PML sublime perfection foundation without setting it with powder and……I loveWith or without powder, your skin looks healthy, glowing & like skin . This has swooped in as my go-to foundation. It’s lightweight but gives a beautiful finish and it’s buildable for more coverage. I would say this foundation leans more towards the medium-light coverage. Not exactly medium coverage and not exactly light coverage. This is perfect for the summer season. Lash extensions So, this is an obvious beauty staple for me, and I recommend lash extensions for all seasons. Yet, the summer calls for easy, care-free beauty fun, and lash extensions cater to that lifestyle. I used to be a strip lash girl, but I can’t be bothered with that maintenance, especially during the spontaneous summer days & nights. You can go for a lighter ‘’classic’ set for the lighter and natural look or you can go for my go-to, the hybrid set. Hybrid lashes are the perfect medium between the light and the full set of lashes. It’s appropriate for work, play, and planned rendezvous. Every 2-3 weeks, you will have to get refills to keep up the look or you can do one-and-done lash extensions for holidays, vacations & special events. Lipstick I could definitely go for a tinted lip oil + lip liner combo for the summer season, BUT there’s something about a nude matte lip that still captures me. These two opposite lip combos fight for me every day. I do make a choice based on my mood and outfit. The Dior Nude Look 100, is a darling lipstick choice for the summer season. A matte lip gives a chic finish to any look. I pair this lipstick with a burgundy-brown lip liner et voila! Summer nude chicness in 2 easy steps. Sometimes I even pair this lip combo with a shiny lip gloss if my spirit beckons for it. Summer fragrance Jasmin des Anges by Maison DIOR gives me the feminine urge to go on a summer Museum date and let the romance blossom over a dinner ONLY if he greets me with cream-colored roses. Not white roses, but cream . This could easily be a signature fragrance for any feminine lady. It’s sexy, soft, sweet, and alluring. You can wear this parfum day or night. Dior says: The fragrance Jasmin des Anges is like a stroll through the fields of jasmine in Grasse, where the scent of the flower fills the air. This fragrance is rooted in the south of France and echoes the name of the legendary Baie des Anges in Nice. Its fragrance trail lingers in the air like the late summer.

Hello Dolls, As we are on our feminine elegance journey, its important that we focus on creating long-term habits which allows us to maintain our elegance in everyday life. These habits are essential in social settings and they are key social habits. All of these practices contribute to the making of an elegant woman. These are practices every lady should take a habit in doing. By practicing these tips, you'll be able to turn these elegant practices into effortless habits. Watch my latest video on Feminine Elegance Habits . Practice Perfect Posture It's so easy to keep a relaxed posed when you’re home all day and in your comfort zone. Yet as an elegant lady, it’s important to practice good posture at home and when you’re out and about. An elegant lady maintains a poised appearance. She never allows herself to be seen slouching. Slouching doesn’t compliment our feminine physique. It gives off an undesirable tired, lazy slump of a look. Think of yourself as a ballerina. A ballerina is poised, graceful and feminine. Imagine an invisible string hovering above you and it is gently pulling your back straight. Whether you’re eating dinner at home or at an evening event, maintain good posture to compliment your elegant look. This is also a good practice for professional events. Whether you're going to a job interview, you're at a work event or if you're networking, have perfect posture gives you a CONFIDENT look. You appear confident, approachable and ready for anything. Often times people are less confident in people who look meek, timid or too relaxed. You want to look CONFIDENT and COMFORTABLE. So don't feel like you have to look stiff as a broom stick. Shoulders back, back straight and smile! Ask a Person "How are you doing?" Please DO NOT skip on this tip! As the world is shying more and more away from tradition, values and etiquette and us as feminine and elegant ladies must continue to uphold these important things. Its happening in small and big ways. The world is becoming more selfish and simple things like asking a person "How are you doing?" seems to be angelic . Just watch my video to hear my personal story. Specifically, its very important to ask a person " How are you doing? " after they ask you that question. It shows that you are mutually interested in the person, just as they have shown you. Be sure to do this whether its a loved one or a stranger. No, you don't have to go deep in detail about your health, family members or current state of your home, but try to make a genuine connection. When you choose not to ask a person "How are you doing?" after they've asked you, you may come off as being selfish, rude, or in a haste to end the conversation before it ever begins. As elegant ladies, etiquette holds a strong influence in our everyday life. Show your manners to all people and don't be oblivious to common manners. Practice Genuine Eye Contact Genuine Eye Contact is one of the key ways to show a person respect. Respect the person as a speaker by giving them eye contact as they tell you a story, give a lecture or hold a conversation with you. There is nothing worse than speaking with someone who is looking around, down and avoiding eye contact. It comes off as being rude or socially awkward. Giving genuine eye contact shows that you care about what the speaker has to say. Being caring is an important characteristic of a feminine and elegant lady. How to show genuine eye contact without being awkward? Always make eye contact upon first greeting a person. Nod your head to show a nonverbal response to the speaker. Insert comments and questions into the conversation to show a verbal response of interest. Break eye contact ever so often by looking down, smiling and nodding head, then reassume eye contact. BONUS TIP! . Have Digital Etiquette Nowadays you don't have to leave your home to social with others. We have our phones, tablets and laptops to communicate and network with people all over the world. For this technology era, an elegant lady has social and digital etiquette. Practice your manners online just as you would in person. Too many social media 'zombies' & 'trolls' are used to speaking their mind without remorse online. Often times they say things they wouldn't CONFIDENTLY say in person or face-to-face. This leads to cyberbullying, the feeling of invisibility, and an ongoing rage of immaturity and pettiness. Interact with others online, just as you would do in person. Don't let social media take away your reputation of being feminine and elegant. Avoid drama online with strangers, friends, family or enemies. Remember once you put your phone down, that's it. Social media stays right where it is. Online. Real life is far too precious to let online drama to take away your peace of mind. What's your FAVORITE elegant habit I mentioned?

Hello Dolls, At the beginning of this year, I told myself that I wanted to add more value in my life by spending my time more wisely. YouTube and Instagram is the new TV. As in, these social media networks can be very informative and helpful. Yet, it could also be a big time-waster if you don't give use it wisely or give yourself limits. Just like we view watching TV for hours to be unhealthy, that could be the same thing for those who browse social media endlessly throughout the day. They both supply us with amazing outlets to connect with others, learn something new and more. Yet, there are times when I find myself using it more for entertainment than anything else. Sometimes I spend more time on it, than I'd like to admit. I don't want to look to either of those social media networks as my primary source of relaxation. I gave myself restrictions just a couple of months ago and I've upheld my limitations well, but not well enough. Again, I want to add more value into my life when I have spare time. I created a new routine that has really helped me reach my goal. This routine includes limitations for my time spent on social media and a healthy habit. Instead of filling my spare time with an excess of social media, I'm choosing to read more books. Read a book 2x a day, but make it sweet Usually I find myself reading every other day or ever so often. Now I want to spend more time reading than scrolling through social media. I noticed how relaxing it is to get lost in a book. Sometimes watching a multitude of entertaining videos can be quite mind-numbing rather than relaxing . When I read a book I feel relaxed. Informative books can be quite invigorating and it's a great way to learn new words. Even today, I seen the word draconian in a book for the first time. I looked up the definition and proper pronunciation. It has an interesting origin, too! I also challenge you to look it up like I did. Now it is a new term added in my vocabulary. My recent reads have been an informative business plan book and my vintage 90s romance novel. ~ balance ~ The Sweet Routine When its time to read, I've made it a routine to boil a cup of tea to go along with my book. This helps create a cozy and welcoming feel to my book reading time. In the early morning, I may choose to have a cup of coffee with a book of my choice. Either way, I've trained myself to associate a warm cup of tea with reading a book. This makes it easier for me to get started on reading. This setting sets up my mind to focus on my book and the warm cup of tea makes my reading time even more enjoyable. Other ways to become focused on your chosen healthy habit/hobby/routine may be the same as mine. It may involve you brewing a cup of tea or coffee, it may be preparing a seat on your patio, or turning on mood music. It may be all 3 ways! When the weather is perfect, I love to sit outside on my patio, prepare my cup of tea, play light jazz music and read. It's the perfect setting. The environment I create encourages me to take more time for myself. My Social Media Rules 1-hour max Leisure Time on Social Media I can find myself watching a multitude of makeup, lifestyle, fashion and BTS videos on YouTube. < Any BTS fans? ;)> So this portion of my day allows me to spend time on social media for 1 hour with every carefree bone in my body. I'm able to layback during the day and enjoy social media. Social Media Multi-tasking I'm choosing to make my every day chores more entertaining by allowing myself to watch videos or tv shows while I do them. While I wash dishes, I indulge in watching YouTube videos from my favorite creators whether they're informative or entertaining. This allows me to stick to my 1-hour max Leisure Time on Social Media. It's another way to ' whistle while you work '. I mentioned this new habit at the end of my ' Day in the Life of a Young Housewife ' Diary Vlog. Benefits With this new routine and limits, I was surprised at how much spare time I had. Now I'm able to take on an extra hobby, exercise, clean and whatever else I want to do. I find myself spending my time more wisely. Overall, I feel more productive with my day. What new routine or habit will implement in your schedule? What's a healthy habit you've formed?
