Build Your Coquette Routine (So It Sticks)
The 2–2–2 Method
- 2 minutes daily: tiny habit (letter line, 10 pliés, one stitch).
- 2 hours weekly: project time (bake, arrange, upcycle).
- 2 dates monthly: girly friend date or solo date (tea shop, museum, matinee).
Minimal starter kit mantra: one tool, one teacher (YouTube/mini-course), one project.
Aesthetic Setup on a Budget
- Thrift first: frames, vases, brass candlesticks, teacups.
- Craft store coupons: ribbon spools, wax seal kits.
- Repurpose: jam jars for vases, linen napkins as photo backdrops.
- Display deliberately: one tray with your hobby-of-the-month tools = instant “studio” corner.
Coquette Habit Stack (Wellness + Beauty)
- Tea ritual + 5-minute journal
- Barre + 10-minute stretch + scripture/affirmation
