Today I had a few moments to read a few blogs.  Life has been so busy lately that I have not been able to get my blogging fix.  I found several ladies writing on being feminine such as www.thebarefootmama.com, www.charmingthebirdsfromtrees.blogspot.com, and www.elizabeth-themerryrose.blogspot.com.  There are others, but those are at the top of my head. 

So, tonight I was thinking about what it means to be feminine.  Do you need to look like Christie Brinkley to be feminine?  No.  Do you have to be a subscriber to Victoria magazine to be feminine?  Do, you have to have a closet full of pretty, lacy things to be feminine?  No, but they help .  What does it take? 

God gave you what it takes.  He gave you the blessing of being a girl.  You can do girl things.  For instance tonight I took a lavendar epsom salt bath.  I put on a honey and oatmeal mask, shaved my legs, and used a honey body scrub and scrubbed myself from head to toe.  Then, I just layed there and read my new Mary Jane's Farm magazine that had neat patterns and pictures of skirts and aprons in vintage white lace dreaming of myself wearing these and felt feminine just reading.  I can't imagine how feminine I'll feel when they are actually made (if/when I find the time).  Then, I used a pumice stone and shaved down my heels.  After I got out of the bath, I gave myself a quick pedicure, trimmed and buffed my fingernails, and pushed down my cuticles.  After I get off of the computer I will lay out my clothes, including my apron, and print out my list of things to do tomorrow.  Afterwards I will floss and brush and read some more before going to sleep in my nice nightgown, unless my darling husband comes in before I fall asleep! 

See, it only takes you saying to all around you, I'm going in the bathroom.  If you need me, go to your Father.  Set a timer so the kids can know that you will come out, eventually.  You are a woman and deserve to feel like one.  It doesn't take a lot of time, maybe 30 minutes.  It doesn't take a lot of money (find homemade masks and body scrubs online).  It only takes a little effort and wanting.  Revel in your God-given femininity.

Blessings,

I love being a woman. I get to dress all nice to please my husband and God. It might just be a shirt and skirt, but it make me feel nice. But I must confess I do wear shorts, long ones, and jeans. It is hard to do the farm work in a skirt. Try building a barn in one!!
God Bless, mj
