If you didn't know, my favourite season is winter. As much as I love summer dresses and the lingering sun in the evenings, the cosiness of cold weather is unmatched; cups of tea, wrapping up in blankets, and finally; the winter wardrobe. While I have never had an extensive wardrobe (but also not quite a … Continue reading Femininity: Winter Wardrobe

Femininity: preserving the past
Someone the other day commented on how I like “old things” and I was pleasantly surprised they had noticed. While there are aspects of my life that do not line up with traditional ways of living, such as working full-time, I love the concept of following more traditional practises where I can. It is in … Continue reading Femininity: preserving the past
Femininity: living intentionally
All the windows and doors are open, with a cool breeze passing through the lounge room. It is early on a Saturday morning – because if there’s one thing I can’t do, it’s sleep in. Yes, even on a weekend. Now I am more settled in my home and with work, I am motivated by … Continue reading Femininity: living intentionally
Femininity: on physical appearance
I haven’t devoted an entire blog post to the physical appearance aspect of femininity, but it has been weighing on my mind for a few weeks. Admittedly, it has taken that long to grapple with the topic before I felt comfortable to talk about it. Similarly to when I spoke about health last week, the … Continue reading Femininity: on physical appearance
Femininity: Authenticity in Health
I’m sitting here with eggs on toast and a blanket on my lap. The days have been sunny and warm compared to the early mornings, but sometimes it’s nice to feel cosy. I finished sewing my Christmas blanket, which is very exciting! It’s ready in time to use as winter creeps in, and I’m so … Continue reading Femininity: Authenticity in Health
Femininity: feeling at home
I must confess, I have felt unsettled in my living arrangements for the past few months. While I am trying not to complain and learning to find joy in God, home is where I spend most of my time and if I don’t feel comfortable there, it affects me deeply. There are numerous reasons I … Continue reading Femininity: feeling at home
Femininity: being at rest
While laziness is not an attribute we should embrace, there is, of course, a big need for rest in our lives. This comes into play both physically and inwardly. For both our physical and spiritual replenishment, God has given us the sabbath, a Biblical concept that many live out differently. While I am not an … Continue reading Femininity: being at rest
Femininity: on staying at home
I confess, I have not always been the most confident when discussing my interests and goals in life. Last year, I worked part-time in a bookstore while I studied full-time at university. To some, it was just retail; a stepping stone to greater things. To me, it was the best thing I’d done in my … Continue reading Femininity: on staying at home
Femininity: A List of Books
A couple of weeks ago I posted a list of movies that feature women who showcase their femininity in different, inspiring ways, and I wanted to do the same with books! Of course, there are so many books I could talk about, but I’ll try to keep this relatively short. If you have any others, … Continue reading Femininity: A List of Books
Femininity: A List of Movies
After last week’s heavier topic, I thought I’d discuss something a bit more fun for this post! I’ve compiled a list of fictional movies I enjoy that feature women I look up to for how they showcase their femininity, each in different ways. I’ll compile a list of books in the following weeks as well, … Continue reading Femininity: A List of Movies
