    Mineral Make-UP

    I've been strictly a Bare Escentuals girl for two years now, but I might just have to get some of this company's products just because it looks like fun. I'd probably still only wear my bare minerals but how fun to make my own makeup. I make my own lotions and other body products so makeup is...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Wow, you guys know so much more about these things than me. Now that I read this, it makes sense when I look at it. It just looked so bizarre to me and I could not for the life of me figure out what it was supposed to be. Thanks girls!

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    What on Earth? Wow, I haven't visited this place in a long time. Maybe I should budget some non-study time for a quick read here once in a while. There's been some good topics. Anyway, I was looking at the Vintage Martini site and found this interesting little thing...

    Madrid: Models Who Are Too Skinny Are Unwelcome.

    That's terrifying and disturbing! Just imagine the damage he's done to his internal organs.

    Famous ancestors?

    I'm not related to anyone famous, at least I don't think so, but one of my best friends is. Abe Lincoln is her however many greats-uncle. I thought she was full of it at first but she showed me their family tree. I thought that was pretty cool.

    Fashion with Aunt Flow

    I have a book called The Modern Medical Counselor printed in 1943. Basically what it says it that for dysmenorrhea "two days before expected time for the flow to begin" you cut back on housework. Then when it hits, go to bed and stay there until it's over. I love the idea since most of the time...

    Shouldn't the dress be green though?

    Political Correctness gone mad

    If I see dirt on my hands I wash them (not that they get that dirty,) so I don't see any issues with teaching kids to wash their hands if they see dirt on them. Children are constantly sticking their hands and fingers in their mouths. Washing hands is the best thing you can do to stop the...

    Long Hair/Older Women

    Personally I love long hair on old women. I think it looks so nice. My aunt is in her 80s and has the prettiest hair. It's down to her waist and the most beautiful white color. She wears it in a braid and then puts it up in a figure 8 type of bun during the day. When I was a kid I always loved...

    Thanks for the help ladies! I think I'll give it a shot. I'm off to find me some lipstick!

    Besame cosmetics

    Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm thinking of getting some of the Besame lipsticks. I know you guys say they are smaller tubes than regular lipsticks, do you think they would fit in the lipstick holder of old compacts? I just got one from my mom for my birthday and I'd like to find a lipstick...

    WARNING! Controversial poll ahead,...

    Your friend sounds like an amazing woman. People like that always amaze me with their strength and faith. I wish I could be that strong. As for the poll, I voted both evolution and creation although, I think evolution isn't quite the word to use for my belief. I think the more appropriate...

    non orangey self tanners

    There's a couple bottles on ebay and a few in ebay stores, the most expensive one is $15.50. I would imagine that anywhere else it would be more because I think Fiji is a salon brand. We got ours in a big box of lotions and stuff that came with my mom's tannning bed.

    People who talk to themselves

    I agree with you, I see it too. The parents take care of the kids when they are little and need it, so how come the kids aren't taking care of the parents when they get older and need it? It breaks my heart to see these elderly residents in the nursing homes just sitting there waiting for...

    Depression Era Frugality

    The picture doesn't look too bad but don't think I could ever eat that. I could have gone my whole life without knowing what that was. I understand these things were necessity but yuck!

    non orangey self tanners

    I use Shades of Darkness by Fiji. It's actually a tanning lotion on one side of the bottle and a self-tanner on the other side. You turn the dial at the top to select how dark you want your "tan" to be. If you turn it to 0% it's straight tanning lotion and if you turn it to 100% it's straight...

    Depression Era Frugality

    My grandma saves bacon drippings to use in cooking and when I remind her of how unhealthy it is for them to be eating all that food fried in grease my grandpa always has to tell me about how when he was a kid, his lunch was a lard and black pepper sandwich. That just seems nasty to me. I can't...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    I was actually just wondering about crinolines the other day. I want to get this beautiful cherry red 50's dress I found online for my cousin's wedding, but I didn't know if I should get a crinoline or not. I don't want to look like a bridesmaid and I thought maybe a crinoline would do that...

    People who talk to themselves

    Its more than likely that he's a schizophrenic. Most schizophrenics aren't any danger to anyone. I take this very personally since my little brother is a paranoid schizophrenic (among other things.) It hurts me to think people might just look at him as being "crazy" because he's not crazy, he's...
