A Fresh & Feminine 2020 | 5 Steps to Success

My goal is to actually get ready every morning even if I don't have plans for the day.

[@MrsMidwest]

Kristin Duong that’s a fantastic goal! Getting ready for yourself and out of discipline is a wonderful habit to build :) you’re worth it! Xoxo

My feminine resolutions: -stop gossiping in a negative space -cook at least 3 home cooked meals a week -take care of my skin each morning and night -go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day -go on a run each morning and stretch before bed each night -buy 6 dresses over the course of the year and more basic items for my closet -finish saving up for my house Thanks so much Mrs.Midwest!!

My feminine plans this year: Do a glow up that would consist of: - take care of my skin better to have a glowing complexion - sleep routine to be followed religiously - fix the eyebrows professionally - meet with a colour specialist who would advise on what colours to follow with clothing and perhaps what styles would be most flattering - meet with a good hairstylist to have advice on the best hair colour, cut and how to style it easier & better - let go of old resentments or hurts to be more happy and positive - have my manicure taken care of at most/all times to feel put together :) I do it myself but i slip up and sometimes abandon it - upgrade the way i dress to feel more feminine and beautiful

Yes! I could use some help too!!! Skirts and dresses aswell!! First of all, I never know how to dress over them- when it is not summer, I don't know how to be stylishly warm, how to match pullovers, cardigans...coat... so I don't just cover up everything/ ruin the silluette... Secodly- shoes- I can't and wont wear high heals all the time. I stand a lot, too - so shoe wise, I have difficult time being pretty and practical at the same time. Can you recommend some key pieces- so I can cover that area (and my feet)? :D Ps: your earings are sooooo pretty!

Forgiveness is a decision. Feelings will follow. Forgiveness is letting go of the offense. And when the offense is so great and difficult to let go that is when we can ask God to help us and show us how to forgive.

[@ChildofSaid299]

Hiii Caitlyn! I'm a conservative/orthodox Muslim and I 100% agree with most that you said esp the part about no gossiping! It's considered a sin in Islam as well and if fallen into, which most of us do unfortunately, we also must repent. You're right it's not a positive trait to have and has an negative effect on our femininity.

[@alanikeiser]

I always pick a word at every new year. For 2020 my word is “tenderness”... so this video really backs up my intuitive choice. Thank you for your wisdom! Hello from South Africa xx

[@MJBpeace]

Sounds like you might enjoy writing a "Year compass". You can dowload it ;) I'v been doing it for years, and it is one of the questions to choose a word for the year, also a title- as if was a book or movie. It is vry fun to look back and see what I chose in previous years.

[@zeldadanielle]

I do that also, my word this year is "less"! Less drama, less negativity, less clutter, less spending, etc. As well as the well-known goal of weighing less lol

[@sourgummiez]

I love this channel so much because I’m sick of everyone expecting women to act like freaking men!!! We are not men!!

[@thedepths432]

I never understood that sentiment because it always seemed kinda contradictory to me. A woman can’t act like a man because she is a woman, a woman who acts like a man is actually a woman acting like a woman because there isn’t actually a singular objective way that men or women actually act, they just act like themselves as people first and foremost. It’s kinda the same idea that people view muscular women as masculine, except it’s not because it’s a woman’s body! And a woman’s body is feminine because it’s a woman!

[@Chryslerdealership]

True 👏👏

[@maryk7362]

I use to think I dressed fairly modest and feminine because I didn't wear booty shorts and low cut shorts. Once I started taking it more seriously than that and embraced longer skirts and dresses, I swear everything changed. It really makes the way you carry yourself completely different. It was also a journey like you said; don't expect to wear a dress for a day and feel any different. It is a long process that grows and flourishes from within. Thank you for your content! ❤

[@Samantha-dv4je]

So I feel like a channel with this type of content has a high potential to be highly materialistic or “bitchy”, if you will. But you are not that way AT ALL! You come off as incredibly genuine and kind. I was afraid to click on this video because even though I was interested, I’m constantly scared that something will trigger my eating disorder and perfectionism issues. But I did not walk away from this with any level of insecurity or shame. Thank you for creating a channel about femininity and elegance without establishing undertones of shame. I feel like that’s not an easy environment to create in the beauty/elegance/self improvement world. I know with other channels the shaming is often done unintentionally, but still. Thank you thank you thank you!!❤️❤️😊

Im working on my femininity glow up right now! 1- consistent morning, evening and weekly skincare routine 2- Putting more effort into my hair and makeup 3- cleaning out my closet and focusing focusing on clothes that suit my body type amd avoiding androgynous styles.

Speak slower and softer. Smile at people and be more compassionate. Think before I speak. 7) start building a more feminine wardrobe 8) stay on top of chores and cleaning

You’re like the big sister I’ve always wanted, thank you so much for everything you do!

[@kimberlys5715]

I chose “femininity” as my quality to cultivate in 2020. One of the ways I’ll do that is to wear dresses more even in the colder months (hello tights & pretty boots!). I tend toward jeans in the Winter, especially for work. Also, prettier makeup-a subtle eyeshadow or a brighter lip. I’d like to add more color to my wardrobe, too! I couldn’t agree more with “forgiveness”! I actually got right with God before the start of this new year & I don’t know why I waited so long! 🙏🏻 Love your content, happy new year!

[@SpriteoftheDnieper]

Kimberly S winter is actually perfect for feminine work wear! My professional wardrobe involves some incredibly warm, thick tights (warmer than my jeans), heels, work skirt (to the knees, can be cotton or wool for extra warmth), a shirt (again, can go for cotton or even wool or cashmere for warmth), and a nice scarf. Very feminine, and also infinitely more comfortable than jeans! Pair it with a cute woolen trench coat for outside :) I love going into work and don’t know what to wear that’s feminine outside the office in the winter 😅

[@Hiyori97_]

I wrote down the good things that happened to me in 2019 and founding your channel was in the list❤️ Here's some of my 2020 resolutions: -Daydream less, do more - Cook more often (I wish to get married soon) - Do more physical activities -Stop procrastinating - Consume less toxic/useless content, more quality ones(such as your channel and blog💞) - Put more focus on relationship with God

Sooo true. I love wearing nice dresses and heels/ or sandals. The guy that I’m currently seeing always tells me that I am very classy! And guys I’ve dated in the past have told me that they appreciate how dainty and feminine I am. Honestly, I feel so comfortable dressing this way, I never really took to the trendy “fast fashion”. Works for me♥️

What a great way to start our new year! I'm a 36 year old mother of two, and recently had a total hysterectomy for health issues. My feminine goal for 2020 is to wear more dresses and skirts.

[@99jeanette]

I can’t believe I found your channel! I have been wanting a channel like this for a very long time.

[@Apricot90]

I was bullied out of the public school I worked for as a teacher by my colleagues, just because of my "soft" look and nature. They sent me naughty messages, told me I'm dumb, not authentic and have "problems with myself" multiple times and the school principal, who should be my protector, tried to get sexual with me over and over again.. I was raped in my early 20s by an uncle and felt the need to tell this to a female colleague who is my age, because with my PTSD it all got so overhelming. She always told me I could trust her and that she would be on my side. The next day everyone knew that I was raped once and they made fun about it subliminally. I felt so lost, especially after a therapist told me that all their behaviour is actually my fault and that I should stay in that school no matter what. How? And why? I just tried to work in peace and had so many hopes and goals. Some people are really demonic. After a few months I couldn't accept the situation anymore and moved out and away. I know my worth, my qualities and my qualifications! Always listen to your heart! Principals and doctors are just human and service providers, too! Sometimes they don't know it better and do horrible things! Listen to your heart, take off the mask and never deny yourself! Nina Simone said “You've got to learn to leave the table. When love's no longer being served" When people have no love in their hearts whatsoever and are draining your energy just to destroy you, then don't be passive! Move! You can always make money somewhere else but your health may never come back

My feminine goal this year is to actively work on forgiveness every day. I really like your vocal exercise of saying it aloud, as if you were speaking to that person. I've struggled to let go of some bitter, angry feelings, especially when I feel justified in my feelings. But, anger and resentment shouldn't be allowed to just fester. I can feel how it is hardening my heart. That's not who I am! Forgiveness doesn't mean condoning or dismissing the behavior, it's about letting go of the hurt and anger, for the sake of your own heart and mind! I love your videos Caitlin, keep 'em coming! 😊👍

My goals for 2020: - Be less jealous with my time. Invite over friends when I could be on my phone. Don’t stress when helping a friend cuts into my “me” time. This will be the hardest for me. - Take care of my nails and quit biting them! - Quit gossiping. - Go to bed and wake up an hour earlier than I normally do. This will help me take better care of my mind and beauty. - Wear leggings less frequently! I have plenty of skirts and dresses I could be wearing instead. - Work on saying “no”.

after this video i think one of my 2020 goals is to dress more feminine (i know i know i need to be more specific 😜) but i never really realized how masculine i dress (mainly in fall and winter) until i posted an autumn lookbook and got multiple comments saying that it was very masculine. i felt really convicted after that seriously had no idea, because i genuinely just feel comfortable and my best in that kind of style. i also looove to wear prairie dresses and skirts and all things floral at times too! after finding your channel i'm thinking maybe i have been influenced a bit much by society's obsession of women becoming more like men, even in their dressing. do you ever wear pants or jeans? what do you wear for loungewear? happy new year to you!

[@Backtocool]

🙌thank you for speaking about all of this!! So inspiring and your points about gossip are spot on!! If you aren’t cultivating your mind with your own hobbies and interests, often we slip into only having other people to talk about. Cultivating your mind and growing as an individual are so important and paying special attention to this is a goal of mine for this year. It can be difficult to carve out the time, but even one small thing can help. Like get a watercolor book and make a goal to paint one thing a week- just that much can feel amazing!

[@permaglampers5225]

I absolutely love your points! One thing you mentioned when speaking of forgiveness I didn't totally agree with... I don't think anyone needs to accept Jesus as their savior to be a forgiving person. So many agnostic, atheist, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Wiccan, spiritual, non-religious, etc. people are incredibly forgiving.

Funny, I just bought new things to wear under my clothes before I saw this vid. and I'm looking to get me some CC cream since I don't do involved makeup, really I've never done makeup, and need something easy and natural looking. Have leveled up in 2019 now looking to go deeper into my femininity. I feel like why is this a thing now that I'm 50? Aren't I too old for this?

I want to take more time to put on my contacts, do my makeup (nothing heavy just simple accentuating my features). Also to wear my nice purse when I go out instead of my heavy bag I take everywhere... And maybe wear more jewelry (although i dont like how it feels its heavy haha) but it really does make a difference. God bless you always

How prophetic your message was - “let this be the year to focus on you, your own femininity” - what was there to gossip about when everyone had to stay home in most of 2020? You can’t escape dealing with yourself, who you really are, what you actually value and what you actually want in life when there’s no other person around for 18 months (in the US). Thank you for answering God’s calling to speak truth into other women’s lives - your content is a great encouragement to those of us who feel alienated and alone or perhaps confused on what’s worth pursuing or whether we have what it takes to ask for what we need as women / particularly feminine Christian women. You are a light in the darkness, I appreciate you, and God bless you

[@yasminerose1995]

So beautiful, I love your message it is so needed. We need to embrace femininity I honestly think it can save the world from itself.

[@heraselene6514]

It's as if you were talking directly to me after asking for advice. This applies to me so much, especially the first point about letting go of resentment. Thank you so much for always being there, whenever I need to work on something you're right there to offer support and advice!

[@justynafletcher841]

I think one of my biggest goals this year is to really flesh out my wardrobe. My style has really changed these past few years and it's kind of all over the place. Lol! I really want to narrow things down to mostly neutrals; like black, white and brown, and then add pops of Jewel toned colors(as I am a winter in color tone); pink, burgandy, emerald and blue.

I’m 23 and you inspire me to embrace my feminity and to be a woman of great character. All love from the Philippines. Happy 2020 💖❤️

[@cindiannmcdonald3010]

Thank you so much for putting this into perspective. It’s important to stay in our own lane and be discerning. Amen Sister! 😇💕

If KZbin today were a family, I think Mrs. Midwest would be the sweet and caring auntie. :)

[@collagecult]

I find a lot of her philosophy on beauty and femininity falls in line with that of traditional Japanese culture :)

[@didostempest2966]

Your Haiku Their style is so beautiful and feminine but overworking is killing Japan’s emotional health. Wishing them the best, modern culture is going through massive changes.

[@Zens.garden]

My goal this 2020 would be to work on forgiveness, self-care and setting my boundaries.🖤 Thank you so much I absolutely adore your videos and Happy New Year to everyone!!♡♡

[@wlpnmsari]

Thank you so much... I start to take care of my body and appearance. I don't pay attention to self-care before I realize that it is also a part of loving myself. I follow your grooming tips religiously and try to wear more feminine clothes. It really brings some kind of peace I never feel before, how I see myself. This change makes me more comfortable and confident.

[@tiffanyjetter7254]

You give such great advice! Wise beyond your years. You have taught this 37yr old a lot.

[@yasemeenelson6495]

Mrs.midwest : keeping your sleep schedule Me: literally staying up late to watch this video 😳

[@southafricanvegan1054]

Literally me right now, LOL!

[@DawnH123]

My 2020 goal is to live in the moment. Enjoy and be grateful for what I’m experiencing at that moment, therefore trying to not stress about things that are not happening at the moment.

[@KelseyHayward]

The first one really resonates with me. I am really working on letting go of baggage and hurts for this new decade. I realize by forgiving these things, it is actually going to set me free.

[@TheNinjapancake14]

Ever since I was young I hated wearing skirts or dresses, mainly because I didn't want attention to myself. When men catcall on the street, they don't really care about what you're wearing. As a kid I didn't realize this, I just thought if I looked like an ugly boy, old ppl would leave me alone 🙃 I just feel like I pushed back certain things in my life. I'm just now catching up to learning how to do makeup. My 2020 goal is to be more assertive, not to be insecure wearing a dress, and to just get better at winged eyeliner lol

[@kristaramos9732]

I would love to see a video with you and your husband talking about masculinity and what it means to be a masculine man in a feminist society. I love talking about your content with my husband and would love to discuss/watch a video from your guys’ POV on masculinity!

[@toni5543]

Thank you for the upload Caitlin! For 2020 my goals are -keep up the at home workouts to strengthen my core/pelvis (pre-pregnancy baby prep!) -to continue to make offerings to nature -to be more consistent with meal prepping my mans lunches -to pour love into my relationship with my parents and in laws -to keep my skin and hair in good condition -im starting a hiking group to spend more time in nature with like minded people. I wish everyone else all the luck in the world with your own goals. We've got this ladies 💪

[@marina2150]

I found your channel this week and feel in love with it. I want to embrace my feminity in 2020 without feeling ashamed and your videos are helping me to gain confidence, thank you! And you look amazing with bangs!

[@EMUBEAR1]

So I’m in college and I like wearing a nice/cute sweater or cardigan with jeans instead of a more casual sweatshirt. I feel like small changes can you feel more classic.
