FW 5.8 Are you a Leah? Or a Rachel?

Hello, Beautiful Homemakers!

The first half of this video I am reading from the original 1922 Fascinating Womanhood pamphlet number 5, the section entitled "Designs that are Alluring" which discusses what kind of clothing catches a man's eye. 

During the last half of the video I share a story about two sisters, whom I am calling Leah and Rachel, along with 11 tips for a tomboy to begin to step out of her comfort zone and dip her toe into femininity. 

"Makeover" chick-flick movies/books/videos are popular because it really does work. Men are attracted by feminine dress, characteristics, and mannerisms - not by how capable you are at work, or how awesome you are at sports.

 


 

It is one thing to be strong and healthy, but another to think that men admire tomboy characteristics.  Few do.  Men find femininity attractive, but this does not mean you need to be a "fainting flower."  A strong body, a lovely spirit, and feminine characteristics are what is most attractive to men!

May God bless you as you move into your more feminine traits.

Janine

An Honest Review of The Clutter Connection

-

Last year I read a very interesting book by Cassandra Aarssen called The Clutter Connection, How Your Personality Type Determines Why You Organize the Way You Do. The first time I took her test was on her website, Clutterbug.me , I came out as a “Butterfly.”  But when I read her mini online book detailing the four different organizing styles that are based on your personality, I thought I was a Bee who coveted being a Cricket!  (See her website for a quick explanation of the four Clutter Bugs.) I bought this book since it goes into depth on the four areas, with color pictures, and I wanted to know more.  I was skeptical of her test and felt that the questions weren’t clear enough, so I took the test several times on different days, and again after reading each of the four sections of her book. I felt that on many of the questions I could answer “Yes” to 3 out of the 4 scenarios.  So one time I did this on all the questions, and then added up m...

From Christmas Chaos to Christmas CALM

Priscilla Poynter I spent many, many years unorganized. After reading countless books and decluttering, I just had my best Christmas ever, even though I was ill Dec. 21 & 22.  I had NO STRESS.  Everything was on schedule! Let me share with you the four steps I took to move from Christmas Chaos to Christmas Calm : 1)  Write up, then type up, your Christmas Countdown .   This is what MY list looks like: Christmas Countdown January Buy Christmas cards for next year (I do actual Christmas cards, not photo cards).   Go to post office and buy Christmas stamps (I did this today, and saved myself the postage increase happening Jan. 21, 2018)  Shop online for after-Christmas sales - Christmas themed items for next Christmas (it can be gifts, partyware, decor, wrapping paper, etc.) Place large empty box or Christmas bag into closet for gifts bought throughout the year, with post-it note for who it is for, or you will fo...

Laine of Laine's Letters has passed into Glory

Our dear sister Laine Amavizca, who wrote Laine's Letters back in the 1990s and early 2000s, passed away November 5, 2024, after a long illness. Laine was a godly encouragement to homemakers in the days before blogs became popular.  She e-mailed her letters to a group of women, and more and more wanted to be added to her e-mail list. I personally found her in 2006 after she wrote the article, "Why I Love Homemaking," which was published in the Above Rubies magazine , a free magazine written by mothers to mothers. (Nancy Campbell, Editress) Whenever I woke up in the very early morning, such as at 4 a.m., I would always think, "Laine is up reading her Bible and conversing with God right now." In her letter Holy Habits , she says, "He speaks to me through His Word, and I speak to Him in prayer." (At the end of this post I have an excerpt from, and a link to, the full letter.)   Where Laine's Letters can be found Eventually, with her permission, s...
