    A Nivea question

    Just popping in to say I did use Nivea soft in the white pot, and I love it for the face. In fact, I will be using it for quite sometime, at least untill the heat gets too much. Yes, it is a bit "rich" so to speak, but my oily skin absorbs it. What can I say? Of course I also have another tube...

    A Nivea question

    Yes, there are many home recipes for cosmetics with olive oil, and one of them is to use it pure on your skin. Of course you should use a minimum amount, because it stays on you and it's not nice. I can tell you many ways to use olive oil. On a piece of cotton gently apply around your...

    A Nivea question

    Thank you all for your answers. I did use it on my face and eyes, and had no bad reaction. In fact I like it, but I made the decision to use it mostly on my body, and occasionaly on the face. Particularly as a night cream, because during the day you need something with sun protection. I don't...

    A Nivea question

    Ladies, a few questions on Nivea. I have been using it on my hands with wonderful results. Could I use it on my face as a moisturizer? If so, could I use it for the eyes as well? Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

    1920s One-Hour Dress

    I recently acquired one of the booklets, the one with the red dress and the clock on the cover. It really makes you dream, but I also wonder about how becoming it is. I have seen examples of 1920s dresses in a museum, and they were gorgeous. They outshined full rococo and victorian gowns in...

    For the seamstresses out there...

    This is in fact a great thread. *How long have you been sewing? Not very long. I haven't completed anything yet (on my own), plus I've been on a diet and I keep changing sizes lately. I have been an apprentice to my mom forever though. So in theory I know exactly what to do... *How did...

    1920s wardrobe basics

    I've been searching for a thread like that and I haven't found one, so I thought I might start it. I can't get over the beauty of those lingerie and clothes. Although on the screen other eras seem more impressive, when I saw a collection in a museum I was stuck in front of the 1920s section...

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    Gil Brandao maternity skirt, I think from the sixties. I have many of his patterns and they are great! I thought some of you girls might need a maternity skirt... :)

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The last episode of a turkish soap opera, Forbidden Love, Aşkı Memnu . I know... but I was hooked!

    What a confusion.

    It seems I am in good company here, it's like listening to myself! Thanks ladies. I guess I'll stick to the 50s-60s style that suits me, and it's easy, with a dress here and there from the 30s, 40s... I guess being a presentable, well groomed lady is the mostly vintage part of... dressing...

    The Decline of the Well Put Together Lady

    I can't say that women go out in pj here. But during the summer you get to see girls and women wearing barely anything. There is also a "trend", mainly among tourists, to wear bickinis off the beach, and walk around them in cities, sit in cofee houses and restaurants in them etc. Horrible. Like...

    LOL love is blind I guess, and that goes for everyone!

    What a confusion.

    I can't really choose an era. The 30s and 40s are in my heart, but it's entirely unrealistic for me to dress like that. It's not practical, and, most importantly, I don't really look good in those styles! Unless I dress like Marlene or like an aviatrix or something. On the other hand, the 60s...
