Housewife or a Homemaker?

Assalam Alaikum!!!
I wonder why the wives, by introducing themselves, say "I am a housewife"? I mean the woman is wife to her husband....Is this that she is also wife for her house,lol, I never said that and even I never liked someone introducing herself with these words.....as I always find confusion this way.
Beside,I want to be called as a HOMEMAKER...,mmmm that sound cool to me and more respectable too, we MAKE our home, our home is represented by us...*
Let me share a quote with you ppl........

I prefer the word 'homemaker' because 'housewife' always implies that there may be a wife someplace else.
Bella Abzug

This was the quote by a NON MUSLIM woman!
Our famous Islamic Scholar Zakir Nayeek also preferred HOMEMAKER instead of HOUSEWIFE as he says are we married to our husbands or houses?
So I loved to be called a HOMEMAKER .
Say for yourself and look what feels more respectable to you?

I am a housewife...(feels like doing some job)

I am a homemaker...(hmm sounds like we are possessing some strong position) :)

Time Management

I am being a night owl since weeks and it really sucks. I really feel bad about it later and wanted to manage my time.We , the Muslims, should never say that WE ARE BORED.... we have to utilize our time and use our health and energy for our religion and for the basis Allah has sent us for. No human being is send to this Earth without any duty he/she has to perform and these all words are fact of life and hence I feel ashamed of how I am misusing my energy and time in really useless ways.

Cutting Back unproductive demands: Now by taking note of what we really do each day and seeing a list of our noted activities, we can find ...

Hijab for Chubby Face?

I am just bored of how I simply wrap hijab around my head, tried different ways but I hate putting pins around, what if they pinch me or my lil one or maybe drop on floor and someone gets hurt, secondly I noticed that we don't get extra long hijab easily which covers the chest, thirdly I noticed that tight hijabs don't look good on chubby faces. So I looked on google by typing Hijab on Chubby face and saw lot of good images and tutorials and found out that loose curl hijabs look good on such face. I do wear niqaab as well but want to style hijab nicely in case I go to someone's home. I loved the images here ....not posting direct pics in case model minds.... AND specially loved some here and here Check this for info on hijab according to face shape.....
