I was going through some of my photos recently, and found it interesting to see how my style has evolved over the years. Someone recently told me I look like a librarian. A few years ago someone else commented they’ve never seen me wear anything that isn’t highwaisted (they still wouldn’t). I have always been … Continue reading Femininity: Fascinated by Style
I have a fairly standard closet; not quite capsule, but still intentional and somewhat minimal. I have not mastered the art of second hand shopping quite like my sister, but do not buy nearly as much as I used to. As we head into the warmer weather (how lovely the sun is this afternoon!), I … Continue reading Floating into Spring
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
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
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
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
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
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
Wholesome living, for me, is guarding our hearts and minds from vulgarity and impurity, that which does not glorify and honour God. Cultivating a feminine and wholesome life will involve turning away from some things that might be considered normal or successful to the world. This past week, I have felt called from God to … Continue reading Femininity: Wholesome Living
I am someone who constantly battles with contentment. I place a lot of value in finding beauty and joy in the simple things in life, and mention this frequently. But practically it is something I pray about regularly because contentment is not always my natural response. There are so many content creators these days, and … Continue reading Femininity: Seeking Contentment
