Develop Your Domestic Goddess Side

Develop Your Domestic Goddess Side

In Mrs. Helen Andelin’s classic book from the 1960s, Fascinating Womanhood, she discusses the idea of nurturing and expressing a Domestic Goddess side.  Many contemporary women in the post-feminism era read or have heard of this book and they curl their lip at it in disgust.  Now, much as I do love this book and find there is MUCH that is useful for modern women, it’s the idea of Developing Your Domestic Goddess side that I want to focus on. Indeed, as we are now in a recession, learning to be frugal helps us to build wealth and to build true wealth.  Ladies, you can do this!

Now, a lot of modern women, we have developed really GREAT careers.  We LOVE our work!  We LOVE our job!  We LOVE our business!

And we completely neglect our HOME looking, feeling, and being a HOME.

I love to watch the home improvement shows where a team races in and spiffs up a house or a specific area or room of an existing home. The problem I have with the majority of them is that the current design look which is very popular is quite cold and super modern with a lot of jutting corners and the improvement projects start at $50K.

I’m talking about making your residence homey. Yes, Charlotte of SATC dreamt of appearing in a photo spread in Town & Country.

I’m aiming for a little domesticity which creates a refuge, not a showpiece.

That’s our Domestic Goddess side.

She’s just a bit like an atrophied neglected muscle group.

We need to warm her up a bit, stretch, and flex her a bit.

Now, I am not suggesting we all race home and become complete Domestic Mavens living only for Home and Hearth, although feel free to do so.  Just that in our current age, most of us have room for improvement in this area.  We are the generation where both boys and girls took shop and Home Economics completely ceased to be offered.  And to have SOMETHING of a Domestic Goddess side to us makes us a more richly nuanced feminine woman, and a Fascinating Lady to men.  By developing that and expressing that side and aspect of us as women, we increase our magnetic attractiveness for men to us.

Check back tomorrow as I delve into some specific tactics to focus on and particular ideas to start off with and attempt.
