    How does a girl keep warm?

    Here in the midwest, it can get to -30 and lower with wind chills. The best thing to do is goose down coat and layers underneath. I used to walk 1.5 miles from the train to the office and the only thing to keep me warm was a full length goose down coat. It doesn't loose it's thermal qualities if...

    do you wash your hair everyday?

    I wash my hair everyday. I use a good shampoo and conditioner and a leave-in spray every other day or when my hair seems dry. I don't use any product (hair spray, root lifter, etc) and I don't color my hair. My hair is shiny and healthy.

    Chanel No. 5 Heartbreak

    No need to stop using Chanel. I have seen caged/filigree charms that you can put a piece of cotton with your perfume on it into the cage. The heat of your body will still disperse the scent but it won't touch your skin. There really isn't anything quite like Chanel No. 5. I've been wearing it...

    What are the Oldest Objects you Own?

    Being a tarot card reader, please take good care of those cards. Wrap them in a piece of silk and keep them in a box or in a drawer. They hold so much energy of the lady that handled them (your great grandmother). It's wonderful thing you have there.

    What vintage won't you wear?

    New Look was a godsend for curvier bottomed ladies. It's amazing what you could hide under that skirt. :o Being a tall, broad shouldered dame, I have to be very careful. 40's shoulder pads can make me look like a linebacker (think Joan Crawford on steroids). But because of that, I can get away...

    favorite perfume...

    Canoe by Dana is a good summer scent for me. I can't find the original Ambush, so this takes it's place. Shalimar and Chanel No. 5 will always be in rotation.

    Sunscreen?

    Good point CS. Because of my skin being so sensitive, I only use sunscreen when I'm going to be outside for any length of time. I keep myself covered up with hats, long sleeves and such.

    Sunscreen?

    The higher the number, the higher the protection. So, SPF 30 gives you more protection than SPF15. Look for one that is body part specific. I have really sensitive skin so I have to use one made for just faces. I'm not a hot weather person so I don't have to use sunscreen as often as most...

    How do I get vintage hair after the gym?

    How about using gel or pomade and combing waves into your curls. Would that work? I went to school with a girl that had curly hair and she would do that all the time after gym class. She'd use a product, then comb her hair back into waves and then either put the rest into a pony tail or she'd...

    Writer's Plea for Help; need input from the ladies of the lounge!

    My initial thoughts G&T, Make her day outfit a skirt suit. Lightweight wool, maybe dark grey She could wear either black or rich brown accessories. Gloves, hat, handbag and shoes would all match. Sh would of course be wearing red lipstick and the shade would depend on her hair color. Her hair...

    A Nivea question

    Oh my..............Greece. You can use olive oil near your eyes. Again, test it first in a small area for a few days to be sure. Coconut oil is great for your skin too. Your summers are very hot and humid, I would find a moisturizer for oily skin for the summer months. The German made Nivea...

    petroleum jelly?

    There is a vegan product called Waxelene that is similar to Vaseline but not a petroleum product. My very vegan sister swears by the stuff.

    A Nivea question

    Nivea Soft I find that Nivea Soft (comes in a white plastic pot similar to the small blue tin of regular Nivea comes in) is nicer for my face. The container even says, face/body/hands. I suggest you try a small amount on your face for 3 days. If you don't have a reaction, then go a head and use...

    Any tips on Ginger Rogers Hair?

    KM43 I think the set is beautiful. You did a great job. It's not easy pin curling long hair. You look great and I love the color of your hair. I've always wanted to be a red-head. :D

    Soap is bad for skin!

    Ohhh, homemade cold cream. Please, tell me more. I found that I have to use Ponds CC, anything else drives my skin crazy. I really wanted to get away from the mineral oil that's in Ponds but no go.
