Save this for later 🤍Ways to embrace femininity in everyday life:

• Dress with Soft Intention
Choose clothing that feels modest, comfortable, and beautiful—small details like soft colors or simple jewelry can reflect a gentle spirit.

• Speak with Kindness and Wisdom
Let your words be thoughtful and calm. You can be confident without being harsh

• Create Peace in Your Spaces
A tidy kitchen, a candle lit in the evening, or fresh sheets on the bed—cultivate an atmosphere of rest.

• Care for Your Appearance as Stewardship
Not for vanity, but as gratitude for the body God gave you—clean skin, brushed hair, a touch of fragrance if you like.

• Romanticize Faithful Routines
Folding laundry, packing lunches, washing dishes—do it as an act of love and service, not drudgery.

• Lean into Gentle Strength
Patience, empathy, discernment, and humility are not weaknesses—they are biblical strengths.

• Move Through the Day with Grace
Slow your pace. Listen fully. Be the calm presence in the room.

• Practice Hospitality in Small Ways
A warm meal, a handwritten note, a welcoming home—even small gestures matter.

• Stay Organized with Purpose
Plan your days well so you can serve joyfully and rest faithfully.

• Anchor Yourself in Prayer
A quiet moment in the morning, Scripture on the counter, gratitude whispered while you work—let God order your heart.

🤍 Femininity isn’t about doing more—it’s about living with intention and grace.

Which one will you focus on this week?

This is the perfect tip for any valentines cookies! All you need is a spoon and your finger! When the cookies have about a minute - two minutes left to bake take them out of the oven.

Then use your finger tip to push the center of the cookie in. Using the spoon push the sides of the cookie inward to narrow the sides.

Put the cookies back in to finish baking! Voila perfect heart shape cookies! ❤️
