    the country drive

    It sounds very soothing, but I've never done it. I've lived in Southern California for most of my life, and any "country side" means driving through twisty winding mountains and that = motion sickness! When we lived in North Carolina (for 3 years), we'd have to make hour long drives through...

    Max Factor leaving US?

    :( Bummer. I've never used their stuff, but I was planning on trying a few things after reading the beauty bargains thread. I wonder if you'll still be able to buy them online like at Drugstore.com or Amazon.

    Hair Dye: colors, product reviews, and tips

    :eek: :eek: :eek: Thanks for that!! Oh my gosh that would have been horrible! I won't be trying it for a while then as my hair was just dyed about a month ago! Lollipop--try rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover, depending on where it's at. I used to use these two things when I would do...

    Beauty Bargains

    Rebecca--I use the Dr. Bronner's soap for cleaning the house, but is it really gentle on your face? I use my cold cream, but every now and again I need a real cleanser. I tend to have dry skin, so that's my only concern. I'll have to try some of the vitimin e oil! I have acne scars on my...

    Eyebrow Grooming

    I started getting mine waxed a little over a year ago and I'll never go back. I love the effect waxing gives. The lady who does them now also trims them for me, and I like how neat it makes them look.

    "Lazy" Vintage Hair Ideas

    One more It's kind of like the braid tutorial, only more simple. These were shot in North Carolina (November 2008), where the winter made my hair so dry and static-y, I HAD to pull my hair back. The tails of the braids are pinned directly under the braid itself. I call it my swiss miss...

    "Lazy" Vintage Hair Ideas

    The chignon. I don't actually know if a chignon is a vintage hair style, but I love the way it looks. Polished, simple, no nonsense. Please ignor the bits sticking out in the back. It's the layers. Plus, this is at the end of the day. It'd be very easy to dress up, but if your hair...

    Atomizer question

    I think there's a website called the Atomizer King, and they sell all different types of atomizers. I can't truly remember if they have ones for oil (I'm thinking yes, but that may be just because I want to answer you're question! lol) but if not, you can always shoot them an e-mail asking if...

    What is your eye color?

    I'd love to have blue eyes like my husband. We both have fair skin and dark hair, and I love blue eyes with that combo. He definitely lucked out, and looks very Irish because of it. Sometimes they're very light (like this guy -->:rolleyes:), and other times they're like a cerulean blue (like...

    Makeup to go with purple??

    A grey or dakr brown liner would look good on you. It doesn't have to be liquid, but you'll probably need to wear some sort of eyeliner. Especially as the wedding is in the evening, but also because wedding photos make people look so stark. If you're going with a dramtic lip, I'd say go more...

    Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

    www.2nutsinashell.com Originally my blog was called Circa 1952, but I felt it limited me too much to just vintage topics. Now I blog about everything going on in our lives from the military, DIY projects, living on a budget, vintage stuff, trips we take, anything! I have a small following...

    Ladies in the Los Angeles/California area--Please come in!

    Bartenders, if you have to move this to the events area I understand, but this is specifically for the ladies, which is why I posted in The Powder Room. I know we have many threads here about etiquette, charm, and finishing schools, and many of us have expressed interest in them. I'm...

    Vintage-y Birthday Cake Ideas?

    I agree that a home made cake would be the vintage thing to do. If you wanted to dress it up, how about adding a basket weave to the side and some frosting grass on top. Nestle in some fresh strawberries and you have a little starwberry field for your birthday cake. Frosting tips are easy to...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    I finally bought something I've always wanted! Vintage luggage (late 50's early 60's I believe)! Found this gorgeous set on eBay for $75. It's in near perfect condition and even has the key! We're planning a trip to Oregon in October, and I can't wait to take these with me! I'm so happy I...

    Men Shaving Vintage Style

    Actually, he just uses water right now. But every so often he goes into the local barber shop for a hot shave, which is another reason I'd like to get him his own kit. Do DE razors require a certain type of shaving soap or cream?

    Hair Dye: colors, product reviews, and tips

    No worries! Sometimes being a brand ticker is a good thing! I've been debating on trying out henna hair dye, simply because 1.) we move around so often, keeping up with new hair stylists is difficult; 2.) last time I had my hair colored, I spent nearly $200 at the salon; 3.) henna dye is more...

    Hair Dye: colors, product reviews, and tips

    BUMP! I'm wondering how many of you out there dye your own hair? Specifically, if anyone uses Henna dye? I found some (via another thread, I believe) on Lush's website that could be used for dark hair (I'm a brunette). Anyone ever tried their Henna dye? What shampoo do you use to keep your...
