Welcome to step 32 of your 40 steps to femme program. Congratulations on making it this far and having been able to complete step 31. One thing that is significant about step 32 is that it is the last step that you will be able to do with any semblance of secrecy. Remember that your 40-step program was designed to mimic a pregnancy with the new girly you appearing at the end. Well, 7 months is the longest that it is feasible to hide a pregnancy bump and keep it a secret. After that things will start showing no matter how hard you try. However, that will be next week’s worry. Remember that becoming a woman is something that you have longed for since you were little. Right now you are well on your way to bring out the woman that you always were. Before we continue let's take a moment to reflect on how it felt for you during the course of Step 31 where you shopped for your very own handbag/purse. Did it feel more femme to carry your new handbag/purse with you while you were out and about this past week? One quick question: Did you post a pic of your new handbag/purse on your Pinterest profile? If not, head there now and do so. While you are there, make sure to follow Pink Femme on Pinterest and I will follow you back. When you do post the picture of your handbag/purse see if you are able to tag me in the picture so that I can find it and re-pin it to the new board I’m creating for pins about girls doing the 40 steps. Sip and savor your way to sophistication. This week we embark on step 32 of the program. There won’t be any shopping this week. However, we’ll more than makeup for that next week. We’ll be focusing on etiquette this week. Actually, this will be a step that you ought to revisit every couple of months to brush up on your etiquette and eliminate any bad habits that may have crept into your daily routine. Also, the essential reading list for this step will be expanded as I write more articles about dining etiquette. I have decided to publish this step with an incomplete reading list so that the entire 40-step program wouldn’t grind to a halt. Essential Reading For Step 31 These are the articles that will be making up the essential reading for step 32 of the program. There are quite a few articles to read. This list will be expanding as I write additional articles covering this very important aspect of etiquette. It is essential that you read all of the articles before you continue with the remainder of step 32. The reason for that is that the information you will learn during the course of reading these articles will teach you the feminine etiquette that you will need to incorporate in your everyday life from now on.

Sip in Style: Embrace Coffee Etiquette Like a Lady Elegant Sips: A Lady's Guide to Holding Your Wine Glass Where To Keep Your Purse Or Handbag At A Restaurant Your Task For Step 31 There are two parts to your task for step 32. The first part of your task will be to complete all of the essential reading. Once you have completed your essential reading you will be ready to begin the main part of your task for step 32. Feeling fabulously feminine at the table. Now that you have completed your essential reading you are now be ready to apply what you have learned in everyday life. By that I mean you will be required to use your cutlery in a ladylike manner every time you have something to eat. In addition, every time you have a cup of coffee or any type of beverage in a glass, you will remember to hold your cup or glass the right way. By doing this, you will become more girly on the inside – with every bite you eat and every sip you take. Additional Reading I am sure that you already know that there is more to being girly than can be crammed into just 40 steps. This is especially so when we start adding beauty products, makeup, and fashion choices into the collection. Every meal is an opportunity to shine. That is why it is vital for your growing girly education that you will be required to read at least one additional Pink Femme post each day. Here are the article categories again: Beauty Hair Style and fashion Deportment Lifestyle While doing your additional reading each day, make a note of which articles you found the most useful and why. Remember to share your favorite Pink Femme articles on your girly Pinterest profile as well as other social media platforms where you have a girly profile. That way we can all inspire more people to be girly. Minimum Requirement For Completion The minimum requirement for the completion of Step 32 is extremely simple. You will be required to use proper ladylike etiquette every time you eat or drink anything during the entire week. The objective is to make proper ladylike dining etiquette a habit that you can continue after this step is complete – for the rest of your life. After all, you are validating the existence of your inner girl with every bite of food and every sip of beverage. Manners maketh the lady! #DiningEtiquette When it comes to social sharing of Pink Femme articles, the minimum will be to share 4 Pink Femme articles this week on Pinterest and/or other girly social media accounts that you have. When it comes to your additional reading, I would strongly suggest that you look at the Beauty and Style/Fashion categories. This will help you cope with steps 33 to 35 when you get there. Consequences Of Not Meeting The Minimum Requirements Step 32 is a step that is very straightforward and practical to understand. However, for some girls, it might feel as if they are making a substantial change to how they eat and drink for their whole life till now. The consequence of not maintaining ladylike etiquette for every bite of food or sit of beverage will be to restart step 31 from the beginning. That means re-reading all the essential reading and restarting another whole week of ladylike dining. If you fail to complete this very simple task a second time, you will be required to restart step 32 again but with one notable difference. This time it will be compulsory to go to a café or wine bar where you will be required to sit with the perfect feminine posture that you learned earlier in the program and enjoy your beverage using perfect ladylike etiquette – for the world to see. Elegance on a plate, darling. #TableManners If you fail at completing step 32 for a third time you will be required to go back to repeat step 31 before you get to try and complete step 32 again. If you skip the social sharing of your favorite Pink Femme articles, you will be required to share an extra 2 articles for each one you skipped, including one article on a social media platform that is not Pinterest. Be sure to come back and comment on how completing this task felt. How did eating and drinking in a girly way make you feel on the inside?
