Did you know that for weight loss, drinking water each day helps you lose weight and increases your metabolism? Did you know that drinking water helps to cleanse the different systems working in your body, improves energy, and helps you lose weight by making you feel fuller, as well as carrying fat out of the […]
For some women, the idea of being feminine after a lifetime of being an independant, no-nonsense gal who takes care of everything is quite a feat. Women are often raised to be “one of the guys”, told it’s impractical to waste time on your looks, or you were made to feel guilty for not wanting […]
“I’ve posted this before but it bears mentioning again…do not pretend to be brave when you are afraid.”
This is a big challenge for me. I have several chronic illnesses and when I have flare ups, I find it hard to open up and accept/ask for help for fear of being seen as weak or unworthy. Now, I wonder if it just creates a wall between me and my loved ones… Thank you for such a thoughtful and interesting post.
Blessings,

I am 42 years old and this post refreshed me.
I work with several men and have become “one of the guys”.
Thank you for this and I look forward to your future posts. You are very wise for a young woman.
Thank you for this timely instruction. In your future tips, would you mind addressing “how to wear skirts in cold weather”? I loved wearing skirts through the spring and summer. I felt more feminine and I think it blessed my husband, too. Now that the cooler weather is rolling in, I find myself in cords and jeans more often than not. Have you discovered any fabulous “how to survive” tips? 😉
Loved your post. These are very wise words.
Very good reminders!
Hello, Penelope! I just came across your blog for the first time through Crissy's Blog Design site.
I really enjoyed this article. I wrote a post titled "When Modesty Is Secondary" some time ago which is about taking time to look nice for our husbands.
This whole website is positively "feminine!"
Great post, Penelope!
I love feminine women. I agree with most of your points. But as a man, nothing makes a woman look more feminine than a nice dress. If I am with my girl on a date, I don’t want someone in jeans. A man feels more manly if his girl looks and acts feminine and that does mean wearing more skirts and dresses.
It says don’t brag about beating your man in arm wrestling. I don’t think a girl who can do that is feminine to begin with.
Last night I watched a wonderful Christian movie called Flywheel. This movie is by the same director of Facing the Giants and Fireproof (Alex Kendrick), who also stars in the movie. I wasn’t sure what to expect (although I loved Facing the Giants), but at the end of the movie I found myself inspired and […]
Hi Penelope, I am glad to have found your review. I have seen Facing the Giants and I am sure Fireproof is excellent too. But … there will never be another Flywheel. A movie made out of prayer.
I also very much enjoyed watching what they had to say about the movie themselves. You can check it out here, in case you havent seen it yet, its precious .
Its called “The Miracle of Flywheel”.
God bless 🙂
I saw this after I saw Facing the Giants. What a wonderful movie.
I recently read that Kirk Cameron, former teen star of Growing Pains who later married his co-star from that show, Chelsea Noble, is going to star in a new Christian movie called “Fireproof”. I am excited to see it, especially after reading about Kirk Cameron’s views on a covenant marriage on Wikipedia: Fireproof is the […]
It is a great movie…my husband and I both loved it.
I haven’t seen this movie yet butI have to agree that I like firefighters! And, I love the hero aspect these men have 😉
One of the most important aspect of a feminine woman is her manner- she knows how to be an alluring vixen! A woman can look feminine on the outside, and have feminine instincts and feelings, but if her manner is masculine, it ruins the entire effect. Imagine a pretty woman sitting in a restaurant, with […]
thanks for the inspiration. I find it pretty hard not to be clumsy, but I like the description of a feminine smile and quiet demeanor. Agh Beer!?
Great post Penelope!
This is excellent—I would love to post this on my blog if that is alright with you, I will give you the credit. Let me know if that is okay and keep up the great posts.
Many blessings..
Anwen, as long as you don’t publicly drink from the bottle, I’m sure a glass of a great lager once in a while is ok 🙂
Thanks, G-d’s princess!
What a lovely post! I’ve enjoyed your blog.
This is every bit a feminine detail I’ll love to apply and work on in my life. Thanks for sharing. I’ll share on my wall immediately
I love this article. Great advice for women on how to be more feminine.
Thanks for the reminder–I’m inspired–and heading for the fridge to get a cup of water right now!
Terrific!
