Living Cozy, Living Beautifully: Diary of Queen Esther’s First Lifestyle Entry

Welcome to the Diary of Queen Esther Blog. If you’ve been following my journey, you know DOQE has always been about more than just handcrafted soaps and natural skincare—it’s about living well, inside and out. Today, I’m excited to expand that vision and open the pages of this diary even wider, sharing not only the skin food that nourishes us, but also the lifestyle, fashion, and inspiration that make us feel whole.

For this very first entry, I thought it was only fitting to introduce something that feels exactly like where I am in life right now cozy, comfortable, and beautiful in its simplicity.

The Cream Cozy Sweater

There’s something timeless about a sweater that wraps you in warmth yet pairs effortlessly with your favorite jeans, boots, or even a flowing skirt. The Cream Cozy Sweater has quickly become a staple in my wardrobe not just because it looks chic, but because it feels like a soft hug on those busy days when I’m juggling motherhood, business, and everything in between.

I purchased this sweater from https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNjmkad, and what I love most about it is its versatility. Whether I’m at the Shore Cultural Center preparing for a pop-up market, running errands around Cleveland, or simply winding down at home, this piece makes me feel put-together without trying too hard.

Why Fashion Belongs in the Diary

You might be wondering: why add fashion to a space that started with skincare? Because both are expressions of self-care and identity. Just as we’re mindful of what we put on our skin, we can also be intentional about what we wear choosing pieces that uplift our mood, celebrate our bodies, and reflect our season of life.

This blog will be a space where I merge these worlds faith, wellness, beauty, style, and even little joys that remind us we’re worthy of living beautifully. From cozy sweaters and timeless staples to the herbal soaps I craft by hand, I’ll be sharing more of the full lifestyle that inspires Diary of Queen Esther.

A Note to You

Thank you for being part of this journey. This is more than fashion, more than skincare, it’s about embracing life with intention and grace. And if a Cream Cozy Sweater can be a reminder to slow down, stay warm, and love the season you’re in, then I’m grateful to share it with you.

Stay tuned for more lifestyle, fashion, and beauty entries as we continue to write this diary together.
