The OWL by Jennifer L. Scott #poetry
Welcome to the final video and blogpost for the year on The Daily Connoisseur. I wrote a Christmas poem called, The OWL, and had the vision to make it into an animated film. I do hope you enjoy it.
The Owl On Christmas Eve I saw him, The owl upon my ledge. His yellow eyes they sharpened, The stars inside them pledge.
To convey certain wisdom, Of what I am not sure. We both just stared with held breath, A winter moment pure.
Mistletoe and rustling wind, The owl called out to me. “Peace is all there is,” he said. Atop the sorrel tree.
Presently a star did fall, The clouded moon was missed. Unexpected snowfall came, With snowflakes that I kissed.
Opening my eyes I saw, The owl had flown away. Returned he to his warm bed Awaiting Christmas day.
Thank you to Ruhama Azfar Rubai for creating the animation and to Evan M. Gallagher for editing the film.
And thank you for your support this year on The Daily Connoisseur. This was the best year yet on the blog and YouTube channel and you are the ones who have made it special! I appreciate every video you watch, every comment you leave, and every time you share my work. Thank you.
I will be taking a break until January in order to spend time with my family this Christmas. I am wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year! See you soon!

Life-Changing Homemaking Secrets from LITTLE WOMEN Part 2
Our homemaking series continues as we explore part 2 of life-changing homemaking secrets from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. Today's video shares tips 8 - 15. If you haven't seen Part 1, you can check that out here. 8. Housekeeping aint’ no joke On page 107 Hannah, the housekeeper declares, “Housekeeping ain’t no joke”. Do you want to see the note I wrote down when I read this? Here it is: HAHAHA TRUE! Long term, sustainable housekeeping is serious business. It’s hard. It never relents. There is so much truth in Hannah's observation. It's important for everyone in the household to grasp this funny, plain-spoken truth. 9. Housekeeping should not lay on the shoulders of only one person. “The comfort of all depends on each doing her share faithfully.” (p. 112 Chapter 11 Experiments) Whether you hire help, or have a family chore system, or both, the homemaker should be aided in housekeeping. It should never fall on one person's shoulders. Ashley Buffa, a member of the Chic Society has a Smart Kid Chore System, if you need help in this area.
10. We need to reframe our thoughts about hard work. “Work is a blessed solace” p. 156 In chapter 16, “Letters” , we learn that we should take comfort in our work. It gives us "solace". On page 150 the sentiment is reiterated as work is described as a “panacea for most afflictions”. 11. Don’t miss the homeliest tasks People who hire everything out miss the homeliest tasks (p. 220) This tip refers to people who hire everything out, including interior decorating. Unless the homemaker makes a conscious choice to put personal touches in the home, those homes are missing the beautifying “homeliest” tasks. 12. If homemaking isn’t done regularly, nothing else goes well. On page 236, Hannah shares further truths about homemaking. If we don't get it done regularly, everything is disturbed. That's why a scheduled routine that is consistently adhered to is so crucial to overall success. 13. Make the best of what you have (p. 237) This is a theme we explored often in the Little House books. We need to make the best of what we have until we can upgrade. That upgrade might never come... or take years to come. So we need to find contentment now. 14. A homemaker’s happiest kingdom is home (p. 358) Meg and John had a bit of a rocky start to their marriage and home life, but Meg comes to the conclusion that her home is the happiest kingdom and should be treated as such. We could all benefit from this very royal mindset. 15. A Homemaker’s Spirit lingers in the home (p. 389) Beth's spirit lingers on in the homemaking, proving that a homemaker's spirit remains in the home, long after they are gone.

Life-Changing Homemaking Secrets from LITTLE WOMEN
My homemaking series continues as I share 15 Life-Changing Homemaking Secrets from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. This is part one, which will share tips 1 - 7. I hope you enjoy today's video.
Here are today's seven tips. Please watch the video to hear me expand on all these thoughts.
1. Peace provides a pleasant home atmosphere The March family knows that a peaceful home is paramount for a happy home life. (p.11)
2. Replace your “leave me alone look” with a “Can I help you?" look (p. 14) Now don't get me wrong... I'm not telling us to mask our emotions and serve our family all day long. But most of us can adjust our attitudes and replace some of the negative looks on our faces with more positive ones. (I'm writing this mainly for myself, ha!)
3. Homemakers need true “breaks”. Marmee admits she never enjoyed housekeeping (p.108!) and is looking forward to her day off. We need true breaks where we don't do any housework or homemaking at all. This is critical to refresh our spirit.
4. Sometimes homemaking needs fresh eyes. Laurie had a fleet of maids but his parlor was still unsuitable. Jo was able to come in with a new eye and quickly refresh the room before company came over. (p. 49) We can benefit from asking someone to help us refresh our home as they can approach it from a fresh perspective.
5. A humble home can feel rich with love. (p. 50) Laurie doesn’t have a mother and even though he is wealthier than Jo, he envies her home life because she does have a mother. This parallels The Secret Garden, where the affluent Mary Lenox envies Martha's (the maid’s) home life with their wonderful mother. A wonderful mother can make a home feel rich. (p. 57) Laurie took comfort in that “humble” home of theirs.
6. Homemakers need their own space in the home that is truly theirs On page 105 we are introduced to Marmee’s corner. Marmee had a corner that she went to every day and sometimes it was the only neat space in the house. All homemakers should have their own corner. Marmee’s corner was always neat and pleasant.
7. Perpetual idleness is detrimental to home life “All play and no work is as bad as all work and no play” In chapter 11, Experiments, the girls do an experiment of only having fun and no work while they are on vacation. They find that idleness is actually bad for them. “Lounging and larking doesn’t pay” p. 112
Stay tuned for Part 2 on Thursday where we will explore tips 8 - 15...

Comment of the WeekAussie Connoisseur writes, "I loved your tip about getting inspiration from old films. I think one reason some people don't wear nice pyjamas is due to their budget. Particularly for women, that clothing budget has to stretch a long way due to the cost of quality undergarments. My solution is to have lovely things but have less of them, and take very good care of them."
That's the best solution! Thank you for sharing your observations.
I hope you enjoyed today's video. Be sure to stay tuned for part 2, where I share the rest of the homemaking wisdom from Little Women.

Intermittent Fasting What I Eat in a Day | Holiday Edition
Welcome to a new Intermittent Fasting What I Eat in a Day video that has a distinct holiday theme. As usual, I am sharing two days of meals. Intermittent fasting is not about what you eat, but when you eat. I do the 16:8 method, which means I fast for 16 hours and have an 8 hour eating window.
If you are interested in trying intermittent fasting, please consult your doctor first. This video and blog post are meant for entertainment purposes only and are not intended to give nutritional advice.

Please note: I have my first coffee at 7:00 a.m. each morning with around 2 teaspoons of heavy cream. When I was in my weight loss phase and wanted to lose weight, I had this coffee "black" with no cream. Now that I am no longer interested in losing weight, I have added cream back to my coffee in the morning.
Day One
Breakfast 9:00 a.m. For breakfast I had cottage cheese with flax seed, chia seed, blueberries, and walnuts. 
I had my first coffee at 7:00 a.m. with a splash of heavy cream. This is the Daily Connoisseur coffee mug. Isn't it pretty? 
Luncheon is at noon. We had Thanksgiving leftovers today as I filmed this the day after Thanksgiving. 
Teatime is around 2:00 p.m. I had apple pie and Pique Tea's ginger digestion elixir tea DAILYC for 5% off. The dishes are Spode Christmas Tree. I am reading Women Who Run with the Wolves.
Dinner 5:00 p.m. We're having miso-glazed black cod (from Costco) on top of sautéed spinach. There will be no eating after dinner... only water and perhaps an herbal tea. Day 2
Breakfast 9:00 a.m. I'm having poached egg on avocado toast seasoned with salt and everything but the bagel seasoning along with a handful of blueberries. I'm breakfasting off the Spode Blue Italian dishes and having the rest of my morning coffee. 
Luncheon 2:00 p.m. Today for lunch I'm having butter chicken over hot rice with a side of homemade creamed spinach and some garlic naan with melted butter. I ate 3/4 of this meal. 
Teatime 2:00 p.m. Today I enjoyed homemade fudge (I won't leave the recipe as it didn't turn out too well...) along with the Ginger Digestion Elixir from Pique Tea DAILYC for 5% off. 
Dinner 5:00 p.m. After a day of heavy meals, I wanted something light and small so for dinner tonight it's spinach quesadillas with Monterrey Jack cheese, homemade guacamole and a side of steamed corn. There will be no more eating after dinner... only water and perhaps an herbal tea. Thank you to Skillshare for sponsoring today's video.

Cindy K. writes, "You inspired me last year to wrap my gifts with craft paper and oranges, etc. It is a beautiful idea and makes a stunning Christmas gift that smells delicious. I thank you for this wonderful idea and this year I have already dehydrated my oranges and limes. Wishing you and yours a lovely holiday season."
Hi Cindy, I'm so glad you embraced the brown paper packages tied up with string! I love wrapping presents this way and believe they make a beautiful gift presentation. Thank you!

Now that I’m finished baking the muffins, let’s turn to the dried orange ornaments that I make every year. These take a few hours to prepare in the oven so I will prepare these tonight. They make the house smell amazing. Take your orange slices or whatever citrus fruit you’d like to use and slice thinly. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 200 degrees F for up to 4 hours. When they are finished I let them sit out overnight to fully dry. This is what they look like the next day. You can use these as ornaments for your Christmas tree, or to decorate presents like I’ll be doing tomorrow.

Fallen Fir candle by Otherland
Welcome to a new day. I shared with you last year that I am done buying wrapping paper! It’s way too costly and I can never seem to find a print I totally love. So I have taken an affinity to the brown paper packages tied up with string approach. I use brown recycled craft paper to wrap my gifts and like to make them festive with bows, stamps, paint, gift tags, and other items from nature like rosemary, lavender, bay leaves, orange slices, and more. Wouldn’t you love to receive something wrapped like this? We are giving our neighbors Allens Scottish Shortbread this year. When the packaging for a product is this pretty, you don’t even need to wrap it! I am just tying it with string and adding a gift tag and orange and rosemary for decoration. I don’t know about you, but I’ve built up a big appetite for lunch.

I begin by whisking together four eggs, a cup of heavy cream, salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Then I add a cup of shredded cheese and 8 oz of crab meat. Real crab meat is always best but you can use imitation crab meat in a pinch if necessary. Now I add a half cup of chopped scallions (my favorite) and whisk it together. Now I’m taking a deep-dish pie shell that I’ve pre-baked for ten minutes in the oven and adding the quiche mixture to it. I cook this for around 35 – 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the eggs have cooked all the way through. I’m serving this with some steamed asparagus. This was delicious for lunch today and I also enjoyed it for breakfast the next day.

Now I’m a mom of several little children and my daytime is very messy and fairly casual by necessity, but at night I look forward to slipping into my beautiful pajamas! It’s become so normal to me, I was really taken aback a few months ago when I was at an overnight women’s retreat and people were asking me questions about why I wear “fancy” pajamas. I should have had some better answers, but I had honestly come to think that everyone wore pajamas at night.A post shared by 𝙼𝚘̣̂𝚝 𝚝𝚛𝚊́𝚒 𝚍𝚞̛́𝚊 𝚖𝚊̀𝚞 𝚡𝚊𝚗𝚑 (@zuaws.bookscorner)

How to Wear Presentable Sleepwear Every Night + The Latest in Sleepwear
How do you get into the habit of wearing presentable pajamas every night? I'm sharing 5 tips with you in today's video along with selections from the latest in sleepwear.
In Lessons from Madame Chic I write about the concept of looking presentable always, which includes sleepwear. Please note: due to supply chain issues, the hardcover of Lessons from Madame Chic is not available until January. Kindle and Audible versions are still available.
🌛5 tips to help you wear presentable sleepwear every night
Fleur't Pajama set WINTER20 for 20% off
1. If you are holding on to sleepwear that is not presentable… ask yourself why. Why are you holding on to things that are past their prime? Moreover, why are you wearing them daily? Especially when you probably have nice things that you’re saving for special occasions. Don’t save your nice sleepwear for special occasions. Today is the special occasion.

Store your out of season sleepwear somewhere else. In the middle of summer, you don’t need your flannel pajamas in your top drawer confusing things.

This one doesn't have a printable recipe as I really "winged" it. I steamed the cold-cracked lobster meat with a wedge of lemon for a few minutes until it was fully cooked. The filet mignon steaks were covered in extra virgin olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and seared for around 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they were medium rare... (or in the case of what actually transpired: medium well). This was served with a side of steamed green beans, and roasted new potatoes. The lobster and steak was topped with melted Irish butter and the lobster was sprinkled with Old Bay seasoning. What a delicious dish!

Comment of the WeekChristiana writes, "You have lit a fire in my soul, Jennifer, and rekindled my love for the arts through your videos. I was on the verge of nervous collapse as a mom of 4 small children. I’d lost so much light in my eyes. Your videos have reconnected me to pursuing tiny bits of passion and beauty in my life— thanks to you I have been endeavoring to make a ritual out of the mundane: cleaning the grime off of stovetop and admiring the shine as I finish; sitting down to play the first page of Mozart’s “Rondo Alla Turca” to keep from losing my piano skill; to keeping stacks of books by my bed and reaching for books at bedtime instead of reaching for my phone. I have honed in on my personal style and now use a capsule wardrobe."
Christiana, I couldn't be happier to hear about these changes. I am thrilled that The Daily Connoisseur has been a part of your transformation. Keep going!
I hope you enjoyed today's What's for Dinner video. If you make any of these recipes, please let us know how they turned out!

The Chic Assignment Season Finale
Happy Thanksgiving and welcome to The Chic Assignment Season Finale. What a year it has been. The Chic Assignments have accompanied us through the good times and the bad, bringing us out of our reality into a different world… a world of art, music, and poetry. I thought in this year’s finale for this series, I’d explain to you why these videos are so important to me and how they can be a force for good in our lives.
The Chic Assignments have inspired me to add art to my life in many ways… one of them has been to play the piano more regularly. I’ve been practicing Johan Sebastian Bach’s Sheep May Safely Graze. I’m not the best pianist… but that’s not the point. We shouldn’t strive for perfection, but for joy. In intention is to inspire you to find the art in your everyday life.
I hope you will watch today's finale, which recaps the amazing artists we have studied and the modern musicians we have enjoyed. The Chic Assignment series will resume in February, 2022. If you have any suggestions for artists to study, please leave them in the comments.

My whole life I couldn't let go of it & felt a sort of death from that. I took up ballroom dancing 2.5 years ago & have been slowly working on ballet & feel so wonderful now. You are so correct about the need to pursue your passion."A post shared by Applecurrant Cottage (@applecurrantcottage)
Alexandra, I'm so happy that you are re-discovering your passion for dance again! Wonderful!

A Glow Up After 40 | The Inner Work
A Glow Up after 40... today we are discussing some of the inner work needed.
Welcome back to The Daily Connoisseur. In Part one on the Glow Up process, we focused on the outer work... how to look good. In today's video we are going to look at a few key aspects to having an inner glow up. This is in no way a comprehensive list. I am only sharing 5 points today.
A glow up is a mental, physical, and emotional transformation for the better. In part one we talked about some of the key points to a glow up regarding looking good. Today, let’s discuss the inner work involved in a glow up because it’s vastly more important.
This is not a comprehensive list... these are just 5 points on a very long list of inner work that must take place. I can do a part 2 if you'd like to hear more...

⚜️ Mentioned in the videoAtomic Habits by James Clear Mother Culture by Karen Andreola Myka Meier Modern Etiquette Made Easy The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
1. Individuality Who are you? Did you know that you are totally unique? As humans we are in some ways all the same: for example, we all have a nose. But we each have a unique nose that is not replicated on anyone else. We all have different fingerprints. We have different lines on our face. Our eyes are different colors. What makes us laugh is different. We are attracted to different things. We probably all like music, but the music we like is different. Who are you? What is your unique stamp on the world? Many women who reach their 40s find themselves having suppressed their individuality over the past few decades… whether it was to fit in at work, or with other moms, or with your family. How can you express your individuality? If you have lost your individuality, it might be time to look for it again.
2. Confidence I can confidently say that confidence comes with age. As a chronic people-pleaser and introvert, I struggled with confidence in my 20s, and even 30s. When you hit 40, you begin to realize that sometimes no matter what you do, someone isn’t going to like you. Or they will have a problem with you. You realize that you have nothing to do with that. In the past, you might have done backbends to please other people and really tried hard to make them like you. When you turn 40, you just accept: this is who I am. I am confident in that. People are not going to like me and that’s ok. I’m not catering to that percentage of people in my life. I’m going to unapologetically be who I am going to be. Here is another key to remember: all the mistakes, rejections, and failures in your life actually help you! They build on your confidence. How? You learn from them.
3. Passion This goes hand-in-hand with individuality. You might have squashed your passions over the past decade or more while looking after other people and getting established in life with your home and work. Now you’re probably still looking after other people, because that doesn’t ever change, but you have a little space to breathe. Or you just came out of a breakdown and realized you don’t do anything you’re passionate about anymore. You used to play the piano, or the guitar, or the harp. You used to sing in the choir. You used to paint. You loved painting. You used to read more. You used to write poetry. You used to dance. You used to laugh. Now it’s just working and paying bills, and cooking dinner, and folding laundry and the flame of your passions feels extinguished. Well, it’s time to get that back. In The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Jean Brodie declares on her 40th birthday that she is "entering her prime".
4. Compassion Having compassion and grace for people who think and do things differently from you is an integral part of having a glow up. Kindness and compassion perhaps go farther than anything you can do internally.
5. Ambition Ambition is a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. This is not to be confused with having work ambition…. Getting to the top of your profession. If that’s what you want to do, that’s totally fine. I have aspirations for that myself. But ambition can be anything from, wanting to be the top lawyer in your firm, to living a slow and intentional debt-free life off grid. Do you see what I mean? It’s going to look different for everyone and that’s ok. What are your goals? Do you have ambitions? Your ambition could be to homeschool your kids and give it your absolute best. Your ambition might be to write a book in your spare time and get it published one day. Your ambition might be to read 7 novels next year. Or to start walking every day. What is your ambition? And how are you going to achieve it?

Comment of the WeekSelene writes, "Good morning Jennifer, it’s true the most important thing is to be together, I always used to worry about the food, the drinks, will the guests like it, it was very stressful, I’m starting to just be more relaxed about it, thank you for sharing."
Hi Selene, I know a lot of people don't entertain in their home because they worry about too many details. I'm glad Monday's video inspired you to try again!
I hope you enjoyed today's video on the glow up process. I would love to hear from you. Did any of these points resonate with you? Let us know and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog.
