What is a “Quaintrelle”? + A Favor

Ciao lovelies! In somewhat unusual fashion, I actually have a follow-up to my post a little while ago about the Code that Saved my Life. In that post, I outlined a lifestyle that I didn’t quite have a name for….until now.

Since returning to my roots of this lifestyle (again, I outlined it in “The Code that Saved my Life”) I have been gripped with a desire to find more people who share my ideals for life. I really wanted to find a community of others who had the same drive to make life as beautiful and lovely as possible.

But I found that it was nearly impossible to find others with this ideal, because of a huge obstacle I faced- I didn’t have any name to search. Meaning, I didn’t know what this lifestyle was called!

I searched online for a long time, searching and perusing different sites and google terms. Finally, I discovered it- “Quaintrelle.”

I actually found a site (no longer upkept, it seems, but still up on the internet) called “Quaintrelle Life.” This site helped me to realize that the term “Quaintrelle” was the term I was looking for to describe this lifestyle.

As defined by the site “Quaintrelle Life,” a “Quaintrelle” is:

                “A quaintrelle is a woman who emphasizes a life of passion expressed through personal style, leisurely pastimes, charm, and cultivation of life’s pleasures.”

What does this break down into? I believe that this is very similar, if not EXACT, to what I’ve been looking for.

I’ve wanted a term for this lifestyle for so long, and I’m so pleased to have it now.

With that being said, I must reveal my new purpose- to form a community where Quaintrelle bloggers and YouTubers can chat, share, and develop friendships. To do this, I must ask a favor- please comment below if you are interested in such a community online, and please share what platform would be best for this. Would a Facebook group be sufficient, or would you prefer to have a forum of some kind?

I would love to meet other Quaintrelle creators, and forge friendships! I’d also potentially like to find a Quaintrelle pen-pal, but we’ll see about that when the time comes for it. For now, I’d like to focus on creating a community for Quaintrelles.

The community I envision would have places to share Quaintelle life related posts/videos, it would have prompt lists, places to share photoshoots and ask for feedback or tips, it would maybe even have contests and other fun things if I could work that out.

What do you think of this idea? Would you be interested in joining a community of people who are passionate about life, with a historical twist? Let me know in the comments, please! I really want to make this community!


PS- I've decided to count this as my first entry in answering the 52 Quaintrelle blogging prompts. So this is my answer to prompt #1. I'm not doing them in order, entirely, so in each entry I'll be sure to include the prompt number and tag them each "Quaintrelle" to keep things organized.
