    Best product that helps to remove dark circles

    The thing that remove my dark circles was taking gluten and sugar out of my diet. I know it seems extreme, but it could be a food sensitivity issue manifesting in skin issues. I know this was major for me, it cleared up all of my skin issues as well as some other physical issues Sent from my...

    Ladies, what are your 2017 resolutions?

    I'm trying to get my health in order this year. Working on a Whole30 to kick things off, but I need to get the inflammation down in my joints and get back to being able to run. Having to be sedentary because my body can't do the things I want it to is driving me crazy. I would also like to...

    Everyday Women of the Golden Era

    Holy cow, love the leg warmers or longies in the winter pictures, I'm seeing some knitting projects in my future. Some wool leg warmers should help this California girl stay warm in these bitter Kansas winters. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Golden Era Women's Names

    My grandmother and her siblings were all born between 1915 and 1930, and the women all went by their middle names, we are from the south so the names may not be typical of the time, but they were, Christa Olene, Chlorene Mozel, Judith Susan, Effie Glenore, John Douglas and Ronald Matthew. On my...

    Would anyone be interested in a sew-along?

    Great! I'm glad there will be so many people doing this as well! I want to make things that are inspired by the 1940's and 1950's to create a sort of capsule wardrobe. I have some items I need to finish up, then I can wear them and this will be a great motivation!

    Would anyone be interested in a sew-along?

    I love the idea of a sew-a-long, but I don't know that I'd want to do a piece from each year. I'm trying to build up a more retro wardrobe, more capsule like.

    Ladies, what are you doing this evening?

    We are going to the new Indian restaurant in town with some friends tonight. I can't wait to try it and I'm glad that we're starting to get a larger diversity of food around here!

    Holiday Decor

    I'm sorry if there is a thread about this, I looked and couldn't find anything. I wanted to see if anyone else in the Lounge decorated their house seasonally while trying to keep with the era of their overall decor. I always try to keep a pre-1950's feel to my seasonal decor, but I'm always...

    Refrigerator Dishes

    I collect these as well as the flat topped pyrex bakers, they are both awesome for storing casseroles in the freezer, provided you add a layer of something like plastic wrap between the vessel and lid, they don't break like the cheap plastic ones and I like looking in my freezer when they're in...

    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    I've recently started wearing glasses again after finding some vintage inspired glasses on Zenni Optical, I had been wearing contacts almost exclusively for almost 15 years. I have to say the difference in the way my eyes feel is amazing, I'm so much more comfortable with my glasses than I was...

    Home Fragrances

    Currently mine smells like Eucalyptus Mint from Bath and Body Works plug ins, but we're just trying to mask the gross old carpet and padding smell. We're currently renting and getting ready to sign for another year, I'm going to ask if they would let us pull up the carpet and re-do the wood...

    VintageGoth?

    I came by way of goth, then rockabilly, then vintage, though I've always been into jazz. I also came into vintage/golden era because of the ease and abundance of sewing patterns and that it's more acceptable for office jobs than my gothy self was.

    Favorite Halloween movies

    I know this is super early in the year, but I am ready for fall (I think the fact that it's supposed to be 104 today has something to do with that). But my favorite and must see Halloween movies are Sleepy Hollow (Tim Burton's version), The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus. But this...

    How does a girl keep warm?

    Thanks Stray Cat for bumping this thread. I'm getting ready to move from Southern California to Kansas in January and I've recently started wearing a lot of skirts again so I want to look and feel classy without freezing to death in the snow. This info is all wonderful!

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Hey LD, Here are a couple that I found on 6pm.com that are similar to those and pretty affordable: These are lower, but maybe better for everyday: http://www.6pm.com/unionbay-jenna-kitten-heels-black-suede Again, lower and not suede, but still the same shape...

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    Ok, so my question is this, I just started wearing an open bottom gridle, what do you wear underneath? Or do you wear French knickers over it? I've been wearing my usual undies and it's kind of a pain to use the restroom.
