Hello Dolls, tarting a feminine hobby is a great way to tap into your femininity and maintain a feminine, inspired lifestyle. You can see these feminine hobbies in action during my Housewife Diary Vlogs . I ensure that my daily life schedule has a proper time for me to dedicate my time to myself and interests. Watch my TOP 10 Feminine Hobbies featuring clips of the feminine hobbies in action from my Housewife Diary Vlogs! Feminine hobbies should be realistic and practical in your life. That should help you avoid starting a new hobby, but then never continuing it. When it comes to feminine hobbies, you want to be intentional about it. Yet, you never want it to be forceful, where a feminine hobby doesn't fit your schedule or it doesn't excite you as much as you thought it would. So, I encourage you to stick to feminine hobbies that naturally spark your interest. Consider a couple of these feminine hobbies that may take you out of your comfort zone. Try a new feminine hobby at least 2x before crossing it off of your list. Remember to choose one that works for you & your lifestyle. Some of these feminine hobbies are ones that you'd do 1x a week, multiple times a week, or even once a month. Keep your mind open and keep your schedules open too! Be sure to choose at least 3 new feminine hobbies. Try to get a good diversity of feminine hobbies, from a daily hobby, to a weekly hobby, or even a monthly one. Sewing This is a traditional hobby that you won't regret starting. Whether its hand sewing or using a sewing machine, this is a hobby that you begin and the outside world is shut out until you finish. I highly recommend you starting off with a small project like making a pillowcase, table runner or placemats. Get a hang out of the basics before committing to garment construction. Knitting In the same family as sewing, knitting isn't only for the fall and winter season. You could also knit table mats and table runners. Crocheting Knitting's sister and the cousin to sewing, crocheting is another alternative to the other creation-makers. You can also make heartwarming home decor or lightweight garments for the spring and summer season . Calligraphy A woman's penmanship is less-talked about, but it can say a lot about a lady. Consider taking up the art of calligraphy and have fun creating postcards, writing letters, or creating art for your home. Cooking A life skill for us all, but an exceptional talent that makes a lady shine. If you're new to cooking, start of with your country's classics or your home's daily favorites made by mom or grandma. Baking If you have a sweet tooth, then this one is perfect! Knowing how to create at least one good dessert is essential. I have easy & beginner-friendly baking recipes on the blog. You'll often see me bake during the Housewife Diary Vlogs .

Creating flower arrangements is a fun chance to beautify your home, learn about new flowers and exert your creativity. Done within 15 minutes depending on your bouquet size. This is one of my weekly feminine habits, that never gets old. In my Housewife Diary Vlogs , you'll see me stopping at the farmer's market for my weekly fresh flowers for my home.

Hello Dolls, I've been feeling like I've discovered a whole new world since perfecting my morning makeup routine within 5 minutes. As a housewife, I'm guilty of having my glamorous 1950s bombshell housewife days AND...my days to wear I don't lift a finger in any attempt to get ready. Those contrasting days are usually dependent on the lengthiness of my To-Do list and my unpredicatable motivation. I developed an unwelcoming tendency of not getting ' dolled up' on my content editing days and my more intensive cleaning days. Overtime, I realized I was feeling extremely sluggish on those days. There is a spark of motivation and confidence when I get fully get ready in the morning. I realized that my morning primping and pampering was a vital part of my everyday self-care. Even if I lack motivation or time to do a 15-minute routine, I should try to come up with a realistic schedule for my lazy or busy days. I decided to challenge myself to create a morning makeup routine to where I could apply minimal makeup, but get an effectively stunning look. So what's stopping me from doing both? Consistently being a jaw-dropping doll of a housewife all while completing my To-Do list with ease every single day. I share my perfected 5-minute Housewife Makeup Routine in my latest video. Watch & follow around my makeup modus operandi . - MY DAILY MAKEUP PRODUCTS - click to shop Pat McGrath Labs Sublime Perfection Concealer shade M18 Pat McGrath Labs Sublime Perfection Blurring Under-Eye Setting Powder Shade Medium Gucci Matte Beauty Powder shade 7 Gucci Blush shade 06 Warm Berry Gucci Éclat Soleil Luminous Bronzer shade 04 tan Pat McGrath Lip Fetish Balm shade Ultra Vixen Here are the major things I learned, which helped me perfect my 5-minute vanity primp : 1. Choose 3 makeup steps that are vital in your final look. By choosing your top 3 makeup steps, you're prioritizing the ones that are most important to you. It should be the biggest necessities that conquer your main concerns or concentrates on your favorite features. Even if you can't finish your full makeup routine, as long as you have these 3 steps completed, your end result should still look polished to your taste. These vital 3 makeup steps should be completed first. When I used to do my makeup, my 3 vital makeup steps would be to apply strip lashes, put on concealer & powder and lastly apply lip gloss. Now, as I shown in my 5-minute housewife makeup video , my 3 vital steps have changed slightly overtime. The concealer helps brighten my dark under-eye circles and blemishes, which helps me look more awake & polished. Filling in my eyebrows helps frame my face and compliments my eyes. Blush adds color and vibrancy to my complexion. Now I do my lip combo lastly or on-the-go. I have shortened my routine tremendously by getting eyelash extensions and they make a world of difference for me! 2. Group together your Everyday Makeup Staples As you've seen countless times in my Housewife Diary vlogs, I display all of my daily makeup on my vanity. Consider doing the same or separating your daily makeup products in your makeup bag. Simplifying your routine allows you to focus on what steps are most important to get done. Hence tip #1 3. Separate your daily makeup brushes. Choose your most essential makeup brushes and group them to the side for easy access. Rummaging through your entire brush collection or searching around for the 'right one', slows down your process and overall costs you more time. As you can tell with tip #2 and #3, simple organization makes the biggest difference. Proper placement and easy access allows for a smoother application process. 4. Minimize the One-hit wonders, Choose Multi-Use Makeup Brushes. Primarily, I use synthetic brushes for my base makeup. I use the same synthetic brush for my concealer & under-eye powder. Also, I use the same Chikohodu goat hair brush for my blush & bronzer. This saves time rather than looking around for different brushes & switching back and forth between makeup brushes. Simply rounding up the multi-use makeup tools & gathering your best ones, optimizes your routine. 5. Don't strive for Hollywood Glamour every single day. As much as I love my full-face soft glam look, its not practical for every day. The natural look is always in and its timeless . This daily 5-min look can ALSO be impactful by blush color and/or lip color. 6. Don't strive for perfection! Practically, we all have imperfections. And that's okay. Just focus on complimenting & enhancing the features you're able to. Eyebrows are sisters & not twins, so don't obsess. If you have a blemish, I promise you it's not as earth-shattering as you think! 7. Some steps can be done on-the-go . I noticed when I'm really on the go, I can choose certain makeup steps to complete later. For me, I can always toss my lip liner & lipstick in my purse. You may be able to apply your blush compact later or maybe your bronzer compact. Prioritize your top 3 makeup steps first. Then choose your next steps based on how much concentration or technic you need to apply it. 8. Practice makes Perfect My makeup skills have vastly improved over the past years. One thing I know is that practice makes perfect . I've learned over the years about which makeup brushes work best for me & my favorite type of daily makeup products. Try practicing your preferred makeup then seeing how long it takes you to finish. After a few times, compress your routine down to the vital steps and time yourself. Getting your makeup routine down to 10 minutes is a great first goal. 9. A Lady Plans A routine is ideal, so it's important to be intentional and implement it into your schedule. Start practicing your routine on the weekends and let it lead into your new week. Creating a morning routine is essential to every feminine elegant lady. Therefore incorporate a curated beauty routine into your morning routine for an easy transition. Dolls, did you enjoy my 5-minute makeup routine ? What's your top 3 vital makeup steps?

Hello Dolls, s you Dolls know, J'adore Dior. To my splendor, Dior Beauty launched the limited edition collection, Miss Dior Millefiori. The highlight of this collection is the packaging, the millefiori motif which features a feminine floral design. "Dior presents the Millefiori Boutique, a modern interpretation of Christian Dior’s boudoir at 30 Montaigne in Paris. Immerse yourself in the irresistible world of Miss Dior." - Dior Beauty Gladly lacking control, I collected... Dior Millefiori Cushion Powder Dior Millefiori Candle Dior Millefiori Lipstick Case Dior Millefiori - 1947 Eyeshadow Palette click to shop I introduced the beauty items I picked up in my 'Week in my Life' Autumn Housewife Diary Vlog . I also did a live demo swatch of the cushion powder and created a soft & dreamy eyeshadow look. COLLECTION REVIEW Dior Millefiori Cushion Powder click to shop The design of this cushion powder is gorgeously adorned with the millefiori floral design. The front design is an embroidered fabric while the sides and back are made of a hard plastic like the traditional Dior cushion powder . This powder is more of a fine loose glitter. Its not a setting powder like the original Dior cushion powder. I wouldn't apply this as an all-over face powder nor as a face highlighter. his is a zero pigment , all fine glitter without a base. It does have a slight white powder cast, but its not opaque as it only shows if its not evenly applied as you can see in the photo. As you see by the arm swatch, you can get an even thin layer with the included powder puff. I showed the application in my Housewife Diary Vlog . I only bought this for collector's purposes as the packaging is my main attraction. It has a slight floral scent reminiscent of the Miss Dior perfume. I do wish it was made to be a perfume powder with shimmer rather than a slightly scented fine glitter powder. Or it could've been filled with a transparent face setting powder similar to the original Dior cushion powder. I've seen others replace the powder fill with the Dior cushion powder refill. I haven't tried that yet, but I definitely will in the future. Overall the powder case is beautiful and I would recommend it if you want something pretty for your vanity. Dior Millefiori Candle click to shop This candle is darling and on the daintier side. It smells beautiful and it is quite smaller compared to traditional luxury candles. The millefiori design is the main design for this luxury candle. I plan to reuse the candle after the candle wax runs out. It's a darling statement for the vanity. Dior Millefiori Lipstick Case click to shop he limited edition lipstick case shares the same fabric and millefiori flower design. It is another beautiful collector's piece but you can actually use it to hold your Dior Addict lipstick. I do wish it came with a lipstick proctector slip case since it is a white fabric. Overall I'd recommend. Dior Millefiori - 1947 Eyeshadow Q uint click to shop This is my first Dior eyeshadow quint. Although I was tempted to buy other Dior eyeshadow palettes since their relaunch, I'm happy I waited for this perfect color story. This is the perfect romantic color story filled with berry & rosy shades. This quint is composed of dreamy, desaturated tones of cream, pink, red and purple. It makes for a great Valentine's Day palette, but it has quickly become my perfect everyday eyeshadow palette. It doesn't pull too warm nor too cool, so its quite easy to pair with my daily outfits. The quality of these palettes are up to par with the rave its been receiving from the online beauty community. The shades are pigmented, smooth and easy-to-blend. Its intuitive to create a simple, but stunning eye look. As I mentioned in the primping portion of my Housewife Diary Vlog , Dior's eyeshadow layouts are designed to create a quick & easy eyeshadow look that you don't have to think too much about. The top left, top right and middle shade, creates a day look. Then the bottom right, bottom left and middle shade, creates a night look. You can group the 3 eyeshadows on the left together to create a look & same for the 3 shadows on the right. I love that about the quint's layout. It makes putting on eyeshadow beginner-friendly and a simple process. Usually purples and reds evoke a bit of apprehension from me. I never like too bold & saturated eyeshadow looks. I think reds and purples can be a bit harder to match with day-to-day looks. Yet, both of these shades pull more neutral and not too bright nor deep. - SHADES - Pale Cream, MATTE - top left Smooth & Pigmented Shimmery Light Pink, GLITTERY SHIMMER - top right No fall out, doesn't have a base, primarily an easy-to-apply glitter shade that is also day-friendly Rich Dark Red, SATIN - middle Smooth, pigmented, soft glimmer Rosy Pink, MATTE - bottom left Smooth, pigmented Berry Purple, MATTE - bottom right Smooth, pigmented Swatched Left to Right - Pale Cream, Shimmery Light Pink, Rich Dark Red, Rosy Pink, Berry Purple I highly recommend this eyeshadow quint. Its great quality, easy to use and these shades pair so well together. Watch my Primp & Pamper routine in my 'Autumn Tea Housewife Diary' Vlog to see my eyeshadow look! Dolls, leave your questions down below! I'd love to answer & help :) Did you pick up anything from this collection? Have you tried Dior's eyeshadows? Comment below! Let's Chat Dolls.

Hello Dolls, In my latest feminine fashion video , I compare and contrast the small black Lady Dior to the this gorgeous medium white Lady Dior. I've already done an in-depth review video and blog post of the small Lady Dior, so today, let's go over this darling white Lady Dior. I've always wanted a timeless and classic white handbag and I was elated to finally add this Lady Dior into my 'Capsule Forever' handbag collection. I felt Dior's feminine Cannage quilting would be the best design for such a light-colored purse. I always thought I would get a small-sized white handbag, since I would primarily wear the white handbag for more formal and dressy occasions. Yet, I'm really happy I chose it in the medium size. To experience the Lady Dior in a larger size really gives you a better insight for your next purchase. Its extra space is of course very convenient for us bloggers, bloggers and those who refuse to 'travel light'. I go over 'What Fits Inside?' of the Medium Lady Dior in the ' Small vs Medium Lady Dior video '. The Wear of White Lambskin I do notice the white lambskin shows more creases and you do have to be more careful with it. I'm much more cautious with makeup on my hands, lotions and possible marks when I'm out and about. For every light-colored handbag you have to be a bit more careful. The Care & Caution I keep my handbags stored in the dust bag. When I wear my luxury handbags out, I actually travel with the dust bag in the car. Once I get to the venue, restaurant or the shopping area, I take out my handbag to wear. I usually don't wear this handbag as a crossbody. I want to avoid color transfer from my clothing. Also, with my style and outfits, handbags usually look best held as a top-handle or in the crook of my arm. I primarily wear light-colored clothing so I don't really worry too much about color transfer. So far I haven't experienced any color-transfer. How to Style I love wearing the white lady dior with bright colored outfits, or for a 2-color look or a monochromatic look. In my Chanel-inspired Outfit lookbook , you can see how I style the white handbag with my ensembles. Is a White Lambskin Handbag worth the Investment? Owning a white designer is essential to my Forever Handbag collection. Many luxury handbag-lovers are afraid of yellowing, color-transfer, stains, scuffs & marks. This came to my mind prior to purchasing. Yet, I knew owning a white designer purse would suit the tremendous need in my Forever wardrobe. This is not my everyday handbag by any means. So I don't get everyday-wear results on this occassional-wear handbag. Therefore, I've set my expectations for the lifetime wear for this handbag. I do wear this handbag more often in the spring and summer season, but I also wear it occasionally in the fall and winter season. It is an elegant, dressy handbag and that's a fine investment for me. As long as I take care of my handbag during and after every wear and store it properly, then I see this handbag lasting for many years to come. I truly don't believe any handbag is worth over $5000. Yet, if you're willing to spurlge on one piece, I would highly recommend the Medium Lady Dior over the Small Lady Dior. For a comparison of the Small vs Medium Lady Dior, be sure to watch my latest Dior Handbag Comparison video. As for the Small Lady Dior, I go over the 5-year wear update, pros & cons and the mod shots, in this blog post. To see it up close & personal, I have it on display and in details in my 'What's in My Lady Dior' video. Are you in love with this Medium Lady Dior in Latte? Are you considering adding this to your collection? Are you team Small or Medium Lady Dior or Both! Drop your Qs in the comment section & I'll send my As! Comment below & Lets Chat Dolls

Hello Dolls, This simple and delectable butternut squash soup soothes my eager autumnal tastebuds. In my Autumn Homemaking Vlog , I shared 3, yes 3, autumn recipes. This recipe was simplest to make and you can see that step-by-step in my Autumn Housewife Diary vlog. Let's Start Cooking! 1 large butternut squash 4 cups of chicken broth or vegetable broth 1 tablespoon of garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon maple syrup 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 tablespoon salt Freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon olive oil Whole milk for drizzle, optional Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut butternut squash in half. Place the butternut squash on the pan and lightly drizzle each half with olive oil. Rub in the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Turn the squash face down and roast for 40-50 minutes. It should be fork-tender. Let cool for about 10 minutes. In a small saucepan, add chicken broth, garlic powder, salt, ground nutmeg, maple syrup and butter. Bring to simmer. Scoop the butternut squash flesh into your blender. Toss away the outer layer skin. Add the chicken broth mixture into blender and pulse blend until smooth. Taste & stir in more salt and pepper, if needed. Drizzle whole milk on top. Garnish with dried parsley. et voila! A warm & creamy bowl of Roasted Butternut Squash Soup! Serve with garlic bread, a side salad, or make it a soup & sandwich duo.

Hello Dolls, Now I'm a southern belle, so I love me some peach cobbler. Yet, when it's not peach season, this is the next best thing . In my Peaceful Days in Fall - Autumn Housewife Diary Vlog , I shared my new favorite autumn dessert. This Apple Cobbler recipe is sweet, rich and deliciously paired with vanilla ice cream, topped with a caramel drizzle. This is a beginner-friendly recipe and I find it to be quicker and easier than ruffling together a homemade apple pie. I find it admirable to make a homemade dessert for guests or bring a homemade dessert to holiday events. This recipe is simple, doesn't require too many ingredients or steps and it would be a fantastic crowd-pleaser. Let's Bake! Apple Filling 4 honey crisp apples 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon A pinch of nutmeg 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 tablespoon of lemon juice Cobbler Topping 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 3/4 cup whole milk 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1. Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9x6 baking casserole dish or 6 ramekins. Set aside. I used both dishes for this apple cobbler recipe in the 2022 Autumn Housewife Diary Vlog. To Make the Apple Filling 2. Peel, core and slice apples into eighths. If you're using ramekins, be sure to dice the apples. 3. In a bowl, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Then mix. 4. Add in the sliced apples and toss together. Make sure the apples are evenly coated with the mixture. 5. Add the apple filling into the buttered baking dish. To Make the Cobbler Topping 5. In a separate medium-sized bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk together. 6. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. 7. Pour the cobbler topping on top of the apple filling. 8. Bake in oven for 40-45 minutes until top is golden brown. 9. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla icecream and a drizzle of caramel. et Voila! A delicious and warm Southern Apple Cobbler dessert! Share your Apple Cobbler creations with me!
