 Sometimes you step off the busy road and go seeking. How we find ourselves here we don’t know. There appear to be clear paths but there are many. Does it matter which ones we choose? Should we think about it too much? There is beauty at the end of the destination. That is something we do know. But there is also beauty along the way. Sometimes I miss that. The beauty in the details along the everyday path. The changes in scenery as the path unfolds. The excitement of walking that path and visioning what it leads to but not fully knowing for sure. And the final revelation, a moment to soak in. Life, in its essence, is beautiful and to be treasured. I want to appreciate the details. I don’t want to miss them. For the details are what makes the revelation so grand.

In today's video we explore some of the small details of my trip to England. 

This berry compote would be easy to replicate. I will try to do so back in America. 


What do I have for breakfast? It's an obscure topic, but I always enjoying knowing what people like to eat for breakfast, especially while traveling. While my breakfast isn't particularly English in nature, I have been enjoying a very steady combination of Greek yogurt, granola, and berries... usually with a piece of hot, buttered toast with a savory spread on it (like pâté or taramasalata).

DesignWorks Ink Travel Jewelry Case I have been looking for a case like this for a long time. I normally struggle to store my jewelry while traveling and combine it with makeup in my makeup bag. 

The little compartments in this case make it easy to organize my jewelry. I love it! 

For perfume, I have been using the Pinrose petals in the scents Secret Genius, Mystical Misfit, and Merry Maker. Code JSCOTT gives 20% off all petal kits. These are great to travel with and distribute an even scent that is not too strong. 

I used the Nomad Lane Bento Bag (link gives $20 off at check-out) for my carry-on and it performed beautifully. It fit my laptop in it, along with so many other things all kept neat and tidy in their little compartments. The trolley sleeve on the back slides easily over the bars of the rolling luggage. It was perfect. 

I give a little wardrobe tour in the video to share what I brought from my ten-item wardrobe to accommodate the English climate. 

I hope you find today's video enjoyable.  Here are links to items featured:

Hello Daily Connoisseurs,

I hope your summer has been going well. I have missed you over the past few weeks. It was good for me to take a break from the channel. I only wish it was under happier circumstances. In today's video I remember my wonderful father-in-law, John F. Winkworth, and give you updates from England. As I venture back into work I want to thank you for your steadfast support of the channel. I appreciate you very much and look forward to spending the rest of the summer with you.

The Chic Assignment Season Finale from England

5:00 AM 4 Comments


Welcome to the season finale for The Chic Assignment. What an enjoyable ride it has been as we have immersed ourselves in beautiful arts and culture and bettered our everyday lives through meaningful habits. I would like to thank you for joining us this year.



The Chic Assignment will take a break in January, but we plan to resume in February. If you have any requests for future assignments, please leave them in the comments below.

Our family has safely arrived in England and today's check-in is very special, as you will see glimpses of the English countryside and festive visuals from this time of year.

Tchaikovsky, Dickens, the present moment, and stress management. These were the themes for December.

Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite Op. 71a is always a welcome treat to listen to this time of year. I've even been known to play it in the month of July to feel Christmas nostalgia. Does anyone else do this too? We will explore Tchaikovsky's biography in a future Chic Assignment. This episode focuses largely on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, which is read beautifully by Ben.

Looking at the portraits of the Tudors at Hampton Court Palace, made me further ponder how short life can be. It's important to remain present with our family so that we don't miss the specialness of the season.

I was able to practice "not stressing the small stuff", which was Chic Assignment number 4, on the plane ride over. It's not easy taking a long-haul flight with four kids (including a baby and toddler!) So not stressing the small stuff was a must for me. I have to say that in order to get through the flight I had to also remain very present and accepting of the circumstances. Lots of prayer was happening too :)

Thank you for joining me for a wonderful year of Chic Assignments. What an enjoyable treat it has been to do this with you each month. As mentioned, I will take January off for the Chic Assignment, and it will resume in February, 2020.

I would like to thank the Elegant Connoisseurs, the top tier of the Memberships feature on my YouTube channel. Some of the ladies are artists, some business women, some are content creators, some are working professionals, and some are homemakers, all fascinating and lovely women. I appreciate your patronage!
