The Chic Assignment Check-In May 2022

7:07 AM 1 Comments

 


Welcome to The Chic Assignment Check-in for May, 2022. Today we are going to dive into the lives of Robert Louis Stevenson, and Felix Mendelssohn, plus much more. 


The Chic Assignment series is brought to us by The Chic Society, the private membership group on YouTube.  Joining The Chic Society gives you access to my exclusive members-only vodcast, which is published every Friday. I also do one livestream a month or do a Zoom call where we can all visit together and we now have a penpal program! Membership is only $1.99 a month (upper tiers are also available). 


Chic Assignment No. 1 Song Without Words Op. 19 No. 1 by Felix Mendelssohn (performed by Daniel Gortler) 

Did you enjoy this beautiful piece? I played it all throughout the month... 


Felix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847) was a German composer, pianist and conductor of the early Romantic period. Today we learn 5 interesting facts on the Romantic composer. 



Chic Assignment No. 2 Enjoy the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson 

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894) was a Scottish novelist and poet, most widely known for penning Treasure Island, and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He is also loved for his poetry. 



We are reading from A Child's Garden of Verses today. You can also find Robert Louis Stevenson's poetry for free on the Poetry Foundation website.  Today we learn more about RLS's life and read more of his enchanting poetry. 

Chic Assignment No. 3 Wear a jewelry piece you haven’t worn in a while 

This month we wore a jewelry piece we haven't worn in a long time. I found that jewelry that is stored away is likely to be forgotten. Regularly go through your jewelry boxes to see what you have been missing. My favorite jewelry boxes are from Music Box Attic DAILYC20 for 20% off

Chic Assignment No. 4 Write down your strategy to stay calm 

This month I shared 5 Ways to Take the High Road and Remain Unbothered. I hope you benefited from the information in this video and found some strategies to remain calm. Write these strategies down so you can become more intentional. The journal I share in the video is by DesignWorks Ink.

*NEW* Intermittent Fasting What I Eat in a Day 16:8 Method

6:08 AM 2 Comments

I'm sharing an all new Intermittent Fasting What I Eat in a Day following the 16:8 method in today's video. 



I have been doing the 16:8 method of intermittent fasting for over two years. I enjoy the structure and discipline behind eating this way and feel free from the shackles of snacking! For as we know, Mindless Snacking is So Not Chic. 

I am not a nutritionist so I am not sharing the food I eat to advocate that you eat this way too. I like to share what I eat in a day because I find these documentations interesting. And I always get ideas from meals other people enjoy. I aim to eat a balanced diet with lots of fruit, vegetables, and protein. As you will see, I also enjoy a daily teatime with a dessert as I subscribe to the motto as presented in Lessons from Madame Chic to "deprive yourself not". 

Day 1

Breakfast 9:00 a.m. Avocado toast with everything but the bagel seasoning, hard boiled egg with salt and pepper, fresh fruit with cottage cheese 

Lunch 12 noon Fish and chips with broccoli cheese croquettes and steamed peas

Teatime 2:00 p.m. Pique Earl Grey tea with two squares of dark chocolate

Dinner 5:00 p.m. Beef with steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and artichoke

Day 2


Breakfast 9:00 a.m. Avocado toast with grape tomatoes and kalamata olives and a hard boiled egg with salt and pepper

Lunch 12 noon baked lasagne with garden salad and my favorite ranch dressing

Teatime 2:00 p.m. Blueberry cake with cream and blueberries, PG Tips tea with milk and one sugar

Dinner 5:00 p.m. Apricot Glazed Salmon with steamed Asparagus and mayonnaise

Comment of the Week
Teresa B. writes, "Very interesting talk. Great tips to calm the never ending “to do” list. I found the part regarding how we present ourselves and our space tells so much about ourselves unconsciously and how others really see that. Thank you Jennifer happy"

Comment of the Week

Maria writes, "Hi Jennifer , I really enjoyed this video. The quote which helps me when things get a big heated is " there is greater strength in silence" ☺️ don't you just love this. It's so true isn't it, how easy is it to retaliate & lower your self down to Their level.....but how hard is it to remain silent. Very hard in my experience. But we grow & we learn.
Much love Maria (UK). Xx💕"

Hi Maria, I love that quote and it's so true. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Comment of the Week

Bella Aria writes, "I just told my husband that I'd like to use our air fryer more often! These are great alternative ways to cook, and I'll bet it keeps the kitchen cooler than using the stovetop and oven."

BellaAria, I'm happy you enjoyed the air fryer recipes. That is one major benefit of the air fryer... not having to heat up the oven. It does keep the kitchen cooler in the hot summer months. Thank you for watching!

I hope you enjoyed today's video. I would love to know how your ten-item wardrobe is coming along. Have a wonderful weekend!

Love,

Jennifer
