Housewife Sizzlin', Not Fizzlin'...

Uh-oh, did your man just come home to you still in your robe, hair uncombed and possibly unbathed? Do you feel like it was ok, because you were taking care of the children all day and didn't leave the house? Are you a woman who feels like "he should love me as I am, no matter what"? If so, then let's just put all of the nonsense aside, and change the mentality right now!
I am not writing this blog as a marriage and family counselor, but for some, it will be an eye-opener into yet another area that fashion touches. Can you not see why I'm so passionate about fashion?! Housewives too can be fashionable!
Yes, I understand that you may have been with your partner for years, and he's seen you at your best and worst. However, if he's been seeing you at your worst most often, don't be surprised if the romance is fizzling and the sparks are hard to catch. If he loves seeing you in a t-shirt and panties for bed, then by all means, keep making it happen. However, if you've been donning the granny gown and flannels for the major part of your nights, then something similar to the above would be a nice change for the man of your life.
Being a housewife and mother myself, I totally understand the urge to "bum" around the house and the days when motivation to "spruce up" is lacking. However, the reward that I receive, when my husband comes home from work, looks at me with a sparkle in his eye and says "you're just so cute, you can't help it"... Well, it's more than worth the effort to tidy my hair and throw on a simple cute dress or ensemble. Did you catch that? Simple...
Sundresses, shirt dresses, rompers and jumpers are the simplest outfits ever, simply because they are one piece! These pieces are easy to throw on, right after a shower and before the man of your life comes in or even to make a trip to the grocery store and running errands. After all, it's not just about the way your husband sees you, when he comes home, but also the way that you represent yourself and your family in the public eye...
Other simple ensembles are the classic t-shirt and jean, shorts or casual trouser. I've put a picture of one of my favorite looks that includes palazzo pants. I LOVE these pants, because they not only speak to my eccentricity and goal of uniqueness, but they are mega-comfortable! You will also see pictured examples of simple tops. "T-shirt" does not mean pulling out the old moth-eaten, paint-stained and dingy underarm gym shirt from "back in the day". Just keep it simple with a cute feminine top or tank.
Remember, just because you're a wife and mommy full-time does NOT mean that you can't also be fashionable. You will find that when you spend a little time on your simple out of the day, you will not only look better but feel better! You know what else? You've just spend a little time on you, without having to "make" time for yourself...
We spend so much time in these full-time household positions taking care of just that- the household. I cook. I clean. I take care of others fashion inquiries and needs, etc., etc... I realized the other day how perky it makes me feel to still make my husband smile and to continue to feel sparks in our relationship both, because I still represent the woman he married, and because I still feel like his #1 girl. I wanted to share how fashion helps make that happen...
As always, I am your passionately driven ChristalNicole...

It's Ok to Say "Yes" to You...

Everyday, you go to work, whether it's at home or a long commute. You take care of your business. You take care of your family, from your parents, siblings, children and/or grandchildren. Everyone seems to get your attention, except you... Your body aches, from hours of working, tension from stress, and you can't think of the last time you had a peaceful night of rest. Your mind is constantly filled with a list of tasks, none of which include a moment for you. You're tired, but someone else has asked you to assist with a project, and/or you need to meal prep for the week for your family. You only go to the doctor, when you're making an appointment for someone else, once you've finished being both nurse and doctor to your loved ones. STOP!!! You can't go on like this! It's time to take care of yourself too. Why? Well, let's see: Decrease stress, which will also lead to, A healthier life/lifestyle (physical and mental) A sense of life fulfillment, includin

Put Yourself In Time Out...

There's just something about koi ponds that makes me feel relaxed and have a sense of peace. Places such as this provide me with a nice little break from stressors and quiet time to calm the storm that is incessantly present in my brain... A Time Out According to Wikipedia, "Time-out is a form of behavioral modification that involves temporarily separating a person from an environment where unacceptable behavior has occurred." As adults, we get moody (ie, grumpy, snippy, attitudinal...), stressed, overwhelmed, etc. These are behaviors that are generally Un-Acceptable for/to the persons around you, especially the ones closest to you. So, today, I am going to play the virtual Mother and "sentence" you to a Time Out, Mister/Ma'am... For children, this means removing them from a pleasurable activity or environment, to give them time to "reflect" on what they have done to cause the consequence. For adults, this means to remove you from the en

How can I make you smile today?

How can I make you smile today Everyday, I want to hear you say Can I be the one that dries your tears The one who calms your fears Tell me, will you let me Love you, ever so gently Unrelenting, contently With a newness so surreal A reality causing your heart to heal... - ChristalNicole I have a tendency to write poetry in a romantic/passionate tone. However, this little short poem, though it is applicable romantically, is a poem about self love (now read it again).  Now, how can I make YOU smile? Have I already accomplished my goal? Has it ever occurred to you, the fulfilling nature of just bringing a little joy to another person's day? Seriously, random acts of kindness and care are literally healthy for you. Think about it. It feels so great, when someone thinks about you, cares about you and shows you love. It also feels rejuvenating and liberating to get a good laugh out of your belly, am I right? Well, now think about what it feels
