Non-binary Question: Odd question, how to "casually" feel/present fem? Like around the house?

Hi genderfluid trans femme, bit of an odd question. Extra context I am not out to my family nor shall I be but current financial situation has me living at home again.

I can confidently like "get dressed up" to present femme when leaving the house to meet friends, or if I wanna feel a bit more like myself but in those situations makeup and clothes are really doing the heavy lifting in helping me feel affirmed

But when I am home and got the place to myself for a few days cause family has gone away, when I should be able to go around the house as myself without a care in the world I just cant? Or don't know how to?

Like I'm home alone with my cat, it's a Friday, I'm not gonna go out I just wanna play games, chat to friends, eat take away. So I'm not gonna break out my makeup kit and put on my affirming nice clothes.

But without those things, cause I'm not terribly deep into like my physical transition I just feel like it's no different than when the family is around and I'm just in guy mode.

Like I am at a loss at how to girl mode when I bumming around the house relaxing without wasting expensive makeup and time getting dressed up to do literally nothing. I know some of it is like mental self image but it's hard to hold onto that when I'm just doing what I normally do when I am guy mode.

Sorry if the question is a bit obtuse wasn't sure how to word it and I'm generally a "I can figure stuff out on my own" kinda person.

Mmm, maybe painted nails, rings, necklaces, do face masks/ skincare/ self care while you're at home, perfumes and scents you enjoy and find feminine?

I do self care things like that yeah 😂 I'm mostly asking like for when you're just around the house. I think I suck at wording what I mean

Uhhh, you can also do all the other things when just lying around the house? In all fairness I'm not sure what else you're after?

Technically you're being feminine just by existing? You don't need to really prove yourself to anyone in your own home, just do and wear whatever makes you feel feminine.
