100 Most Beautiful Words, for Women

I recently came across a list of the most beautiful words in English. I eagerly devoured the list but was disappointed that not many of them matched my expectation of "beautiful" ~ a beautiful word, to my thinking, is one that rolls across my tongue, makes me feel good, and adds a touch of magic to my mood and my day.

So, I thought I'd start my own list of the most beautiful words in English, but for women! I invite your participation... simply comment with your favourite word, why you think it's beautiful, how it makes you feel and perhaps an associated memory...

I'll start with the word Voluptuous... Adjective. Definition: sensuously pleasing or delightful. I like it because its syllables imply the shape of a voluptuous, curvy woman. It promises sensual pleasures, not just of the flesh but also in her attitude to living life with fully fledged indulgence.

OK... your turn!

Blissed be! Anita

Vibrant - it's about life, colours that pop with energy and good cheer. Vibrant to me is the essential element of life, the spark. Women are all about life: giving life, nurturing life and keeping love and family going generation after generation. We need vibrancy to do all that.
