Hello Dolls, Its about three weeks into the new year 2023. And I must ask. Have you stuck to those little funny things called New Years resolutions ? I say 'funny' because its almost like 90% of America laugh at the annual failure of not completing your New Years Resolutions or goals. Then months later we start again . Typically, I'm apart of that 90%. Yet, over time I have pinpointed my misses & fails. The key factor in not completing your goals is the old saying, 'You don't plan to fail , but you fail to plan ' I see 2023 as a fresh start & an opportunity to have a successful year filled with happiness and growth . Yet, it's more than just saying & writing it down. Therefore, this year we are going to PLAN to SUCCEED. Let's start with the big one... Planning. It's important to learn your perfect planning method. I use a physical planner and my phone as my main planning methods. Try out the different methods or combine them. Find your perfect cup of tea. Physical Planner, (personal favorite) Planner App Wall Calendar Journaling (physical & digital) My Feminine Planner Picks Chic & Simple Styles Also, here is my Downloadable Homemaking Schedule that you can print out & laminate for the fellow housewives ! click the link below! Feminine Homemaking Schedule Set Reminders. At least once a week, I recommend setting reminders on your phone or writing down your upcoming goals every week at the top of your planner. Keep your goals on your mind throughout the month so you can stay on track. Life gets busy & as they say, 'Out of Sight, Out of Mind'. So visually seeing reminders of your goals can help you stay on track. Adjust as Needed. It's so easy to jot down lose 20lbs, then not see progress in the 1st month, then get disappointed & give up by summer. Of course, push yourself. Set high standards, give yourself a challenge that will encourage a positive result. Yet in practically speaking, maybe you should adjust your 'goal' to be more attainable. Never set a high goal if you don't intend to fully work towards it. That means, if you want to actually lose 20lbs, either invest in a personal trainer, join a gym or fitness class and attend more than 3x a week, and/or add a healthy meal plan. A big goal requires a serious & dedicated plan. I hope you Dolls enjoyed this chit chat about planning like a lady so we can accomplish our goals this year! Share your pretty planner with me @Ebony.Nikita! Let me know what are some of your personal goals for this year. Comment below! Let's Chat Dolls.

Hello Dolls!

Hello Dolls! In the midst of this madness, many of us wives may be working from home or relaxing at home. My husband says the silver lining of everyone being home is the ability to spend more time with God. Amen to that. Now of course, I’ve had my leisurely days that has kinda of...just...rolled by without me doing anything productive. We all need those days. Unfortunately those days can turn into “boring“ days. To help solve that issue, I’m encouraging all of us Dolls to busy ourselves. This will help stop the days that seem to roll past us. The last thing we want is to feel like we came out of quarantine without any shown progress, accomplishment or growth. Here are things we can all do during this quarantine: 1. Finish that Good Book Raise your hand if you have a book that you bought, but never finished. It’s almost like it’s there, but it’s too far to reach. For some of us this could be a romance novel, a business guide or the Bible. Instead of mindlessly scrolling through our beloved phone, let’s upgrade our hobby to reading. As for the Bible, it would be a great idea to start Bible study group with you husband or you can video group call your friends for Bible study. 2. Finish that Task You’ve Avoided (or never started) Goodness this list could go on and on for some of us. It may be deep cleaning one area of your home, decluttering that disaster of a closet, or getting to that painting you‘ve always wanted to start. Take one day and decide to finish that task. You’ll thank yourself for it later. 3. Take Care of Yourself I know there’s moms and wives out there, who usually does not have the moment for posh time & primping. I would encourage you to plan just one hour out of your day to do one act of self-care. Whether it is doing a face mask or painting your nails, take the time to give yourself a short break by primping. 4.Try that Sweet Recipe As many of you know, I love to bake. This is the perfect time to add some sweetness into your family’s life! Bake with your family or try that new recipe you’ve always adored. There are many baking recipes that require few ingredients and they still taste delicious! Cookies, muffins and pound cakes are great choices that only require little ingredients. 5. Plan the Romantic Stay-At-Home Date Now is the time to add the sweet to the bitter. Its a great time to eat dinner, share a dessert and snuggle up to a good movie. Simply preparing a baked good, after dinner, can turn a regular dinner into a romantic night. Add some candles, dress your table in it’s best tablecloth, play some mood music and you have yourself a romantic date! Me and my husband personally love to play a board game after dinner. Theres always card games or movies that you and your husband can enjoy! How are you staying productive at home? What activity is occupying your days? Mine would have to be creative cooking, FaceTiming my family & planning out my YouTube channel and blog! What’s yours? Tell me in the comment section! Let’s Chat, Doll. Always with Love, Ebony Nikita

Hello Dolls, It is time to cross our ' t' s and dot our ' i' s when it comes to having a complete and cohesive feminine wardrobe for the cooler seasons! These are my TOP 10 necessities in my fall & winter closet that every feminine lady should have. In my latest fashion video, I shared feminine fashion inspiration in my fall lookbook featured in my video, " How to dress Feminine in the Fall & Winter ". I shared my best tips on looking feminine & elegant although we're dealing with chilly and cold weather! I also shared the BEST FEMININE TRENDS for Fall & Winter 2021. The Top 10 - The feminine sweater - As I mentioned in " How to dress Feminine in the Fall & Winter ", it's so easy to achieve that chunky, lego block look in the fall and winter season due to all of the layers. Its best to fill your closet the perfect feminine style sweater to keep your feminine shape accentuated. Look for sweaters in feminine styles like peplum, puff sleeve and the ones with sweetheart necklines. - The trench coat - A trench coat is an absolute ESSENTIAL in every lady's closet. Its my go-to coat when I need to hurry out the door. It helps you achieve a polished look without much effort. Always go for a classic color, like khaki tan or black. Yet, it's also fun to include accent colors like dusty rose to add a feminine touch to any of your outfits that you wear with it. - The sweater dress - Keep the feminine silhouette while staying warm. You can go for a knee-length sweater dress and you also have the options of a midi or maxi-length sweater dress. Pair with a tights or pantyhose to keep warm on the colder days! - The blazer - Elegant and chic in all seasons. The blazer is another go-to that emulates a sartorial elegance. Depending on your needs, you can choose a lightweight blazer to throw over a thick sweater, a blazer in a sweater fabric (basically a structured cardigan, wink wink ) or you can go for the classic blazer. Each design delivers the same sophisticated look. - The fleece tights - This would be in my Winter Wardrobe SURVIVAL Kit. Fleece tights or leggings is my secret key to staying WARM in the winter season while wearing a cute skirt. You can also go for long johns too. I'd say double/triple your stock of fleece-lined tights! I have fleece-lined socks, leggings and tights for 7-days a week. - The scarf - This is a given, but lets make sure we have a fashionable scarf to bring the ensemble together. I have chic and feminine silk scarves for the fall and hefty, stylish scarf for the cold winter. - The holiday dress - This is a MUST in every lady's wardrobe. Thanksgiving, Christmas, holiday parties and everything in between, they all somehow require a new holiday dress that you just don't have. Go for a basic and cute holiday dress that you can accessorize for multiple seasonal occasions. By styling and accessorizing each time, you'll be able to get a great cost-per-wear AND you'll be just fine in every picture. - The dressy boot - Thigh-high, bootie, knee-high, or mid-calf, all are welcome. Have one pair of COMFORTABLE and STYLISH boot that you can wear with majority of your pre-planned seasonal looks. Slip-ons are great, but you want to be able to rightfully use the sidewalk as a runway in your dressy boots. - The casual boot - Yes, yes, we all love a good boot, but lets not get stuck in the 7 dwarves boots for every time you leave your home. You need a dressy boot, but also a STYLISH CASUAL BOOT that is comfortable. Easy-on and easy-off is one of the functional needs. I stick to 1"-3" height in my casual boots. - The peacoat - The ultimate winter outerwear CLASSIC. Need I say more? Keep warm and stay chic. - Feminine Color Stories for Your Fall & Winter Wardrobe - Choose a color story to inspiration your wardrobe. Go for pieces that coordinates with your chosen color scheme. This is an easy way to build a cohesive & feminine wardrobe! Dolls, do you have ALL 10 of these feminine wardrobe essentials? Which ones are you missing in your wardrobe?
