Creme de la Mer and other indulgances/guilty pleasures
Thank you MissG, I think I understand it now. Besides the "super" exfoliation, the oil plumping is able to get to the layer of skin below what one could get to on their own? Certainly one couldn't get to massaging(and I assume in turn stimulating) the collagen cells. Fascinating. I saw some... -
What about us naturally curly girls?
Yup you've been doing it on your own for sure. Aloe vera for hair is awesome isn't it? I think as long as your ratio of glycerin/liquid is at least 50/50 you're good. But I do 33/67 glycerin/liguid for my girls. Yeah I think in general you should be shopping in the ethnic section when you buy... -
Bar soaps
Yeah I'm a bit of a fragrance geek. As seems to be the case all the way around for me nothing much in the modern way.Any scent my best friend calls "old lady" I'm bound to love. I am also quite infatuated with New Orleans history. I'm a sucker for any product that can say they've been doing it... -
Can anyone out there help a young girl who doesn't know what to do with her hair??
The ladies have given you such great advice wet sets are the way to go and practice practice and muck around! I'd like to add have you considered bangs? You know think Louise Brooks or Anna Mae Wong(what a beauty there! I'm sure a quick google on her will provide tons of great photos). If you're... -
Bar soaps
From age 13 to 30 Neutrogena was the ONLY soap I used on my face Noxzema when dry or irritated. Most of the time I was broke and used ivory or dove on my body to make it last longer but for Christmas every year I got the soap set along with the rainbath. I adore that scent. Smelling it now would... -

What about us naturally curly girls?
Greetings Clabbegirl, I'm happy you've had success and you're on point about when we were born affecting us as well as having to unlearn things. It's pretty much all around too. The industry pounded tried to pound us in the head on the horrors of oil with "oil free" "strips oil" when actually... -
Creme de la Mer and other indulgances/guilty pleasures
You're quite right about that MissG, I was so productive I've imposed an every other day internet limit on myself for net browsing. I plan on adding the television on alternating days as well. Your friend was right it did hurt but nothing like I heard. My friend told me a horror story of his... -
Creme de la Mer and other indulgances/guilty pleasures
I apologize if this is duplicated I replied much earlier seems to have POOFED! as my youngest said. Thank you so much. I wasn't completely net free, access at work, on the phone(which I hate). So I got the bill paying, directions etc but not much else. I can say I got a lot done around the... -
Creme de la Mer and other indulgances/guilty pleasures
LittleMissToniJo, I have tons of recipes, directions are a bit harder because a lot depends on what oils you're using. Some come up quick, other take a ton of mixing. Quick answer is you mix lye(or potash) into distilled water, let cool while warming your oils to the same temp(varies depends on... -

What about us naturally curly girls?
Clabbergirl, have you tried fingerwaves as a setting method? I have mixed daughters( though every head is different between my girls one's hair thrives with protein products, the same products make the others dry and brittle, that one needs moisture and more moisture on top of that. So I am very... -
Cold Cream- Brands and advice!
Miss 1929 I use something like that( I think). It's called a Japanese nylon polishing cloth. It's about 2 feet long 6 in high so it makes solo back washing a breeze. Exfoliation is FABULOUS. I use it only on my body about once a week with a foaming pumice scrub.It really helps with the turkish... -
Cold Cream- Brands and advice!
This is a recipe from one of my Nana's "Ladies Household books". It was printed in the late 19th century and has a lot of useful information(cosmetics, medicines, cleansers, cloth dye). I actually use quite a bit of it. Melt 3 ounces spermaceti(jojoba), 2 ounces white wax, and 12 ounces fresh... -
Bar soaps
Just as in style the fl ladies have fabulous taste in soap. I love to make cold process soap but there are times when I run out or the latest batch is still curing and the store brands soaps I favor are Kirks, Dr Bronners, Dove and my favorite Canus Goat milk. I'm a huge believer in the... -
Creme de la Mer and other indulgances/guilty pleasures
Oh Tishkaminx thank you for the review I've always been curious about it as I am huge exfoliation fan. I use a nubby washcloth every day and I swear i do the same thing when scrubbing(in tiny circles, my nana told me that when I was 13 and it stuck). However I would have never thought to explain... -

Creme de la Mer and other indulgances/guilty pleasures
Oh those are cute and yeah they will work with vintage. I see you have the fortune of living without the hot sticky hell that is southern humidity. They wouldn't get much wear for me. About four weeks in spring, four in fall, too cold or too hot the rest. But I see how they could be addictive... -
What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Yay Juliet. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm so happy. I did the post on layering red but sadly I don't get to wear a red lip much at all. . I have pretty big lips(my gbff has a vulgar nickname for them). Last time I went to the hairdresser with full on red lip my hairdresser asked what I had... -
Creme de la Mer and other indulgances/guilty pleasures
Lush seems to be a common treat for the ladies around here. I am dying to try their Karma scent. Melissa's? Do tell, I am a shoe lover as well, carry vintage styles? I think there is some confusion somewhere with the lamer/pond's cold cream comparison. All cold Cream is based upon variations... -
Homemade Setting Lotion
Here's a recipe for a homemade anti-perspirent. It's effective but if the word clinical gets your goat you will likely find it inferior. Mix equal parts witch hazel, mineral water and aloe vera gel. 1/4 cup each is usually what I use . Add a tablespoon of vegetable glycerin and a few drops... -
