    Under Eye Circles

    I like the little tube of "Magic Eye Balm" from L'Occitane. I got it as a gift...Great stuff! A teeny drop goes a long way, so it's actually well worth the price. It's both a concealer and a treatment. Description says: A natural wonder. Reverses the dehydration that exaggerates fine...

    Do you have a set beauty routine?

    Not particularly "vintage-ified," but unique nonetheless... Morning: 1. SCRAPE TONGUE!! One of my obsessive-compulsive things...apparently your body releases toxins through your tongue at night, and if you drink water before brushing/scraping your tongue, you ingest them! Yeah, gross...

    What musical instrument do you play..?

    I wish I could play/ACQUIRE a bagpipe! This boy at my middleschool used to play the babpipe for the annual school talent show, and his act was always my favorite.

    What musical instrument do you play..?

    I've played the oboe for five years, and I own a vintage 1940's instrument that was made in a small shop in France and played by a Dutch professional for many years, before changing hands and being sent to a family in Florida. I got the oboe on Ebay for an utterly RIDICULOUS $150! I don't have...

    Vintage recipies

    Unfortunately, my mom's stepmother's cooking is notoriously bad (heavy cakes with too much baking powder, ketchup on everything, etc.), but I've learned some traditional Jewish recipes from my mother, and adapted a lot of them to suit my vegetarian preference. No gefiltefish!! The other side...

    Lady Adventurers, Women of Mystery!

    You ladies look amazing! I wish I could have brought my vintage ways to India two weeks ago, but that would have been impossible. We were doing service work in the slums, and the heat was intense (110 degrees and up w/humidity)...and if the dirt or heat didn't ruin my clothes, the pollution...

    Vintage styles for short hair

    Ohh, the punk phase... For some reason my hair was pretty hardy through my hair color adventures, but I shaved my head twice too. I've always just allowed my black dye to grow out. It takes a while, but it fades over time. Good luck!

    Vintage clothing: when is enough, enough?

    I'm starting college] in a few short months, so I'm in the process of both thinning out my clothes and making sure I have the necessities. I've always been a complete shopoholic, so this is a big deal for me, haha! I've actually got a nice system going! I sell my clothes at a consignment...

    Ideas for free and inexpensive dates.

    A gentleman took me to a graveyard for a date once. It was surprisingly interesting, but I wouldn't advise anyone to do that for a first date!...your date might think you're a bit morbid. I second the picnic idea -- always lovely! Hikes and walks can be fun and very romantic, if he/she is...

    Skin Care tips/remedies

    Thanks, I might have to try that scrub! I looove Lush. My favorites are their masks (amazing) and also the Flying Fox temple balm.

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Hmm, that's interesting...yeah, it lacks the key ingredient here, AND it has a ton of really nasty stuff that I don't recommend putting near anyone's body! EDTA is supposed to be bad, though I haven't read much about it...but look at all those parabens!! Parabens are preservatives that have...

    I love it.

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Hmm...can you possibly post the ingredients for the C.O. Bigelow's brand? I've been very curious about it, and I might be able to help you figure out what you might be reacting to. I was in India a week ago doing some service work, and I started to get pretty weak in Delhi because the heat...

    Nutrition and exercise!

    Hello, lovely ladies! I've got an insanely fast metabolism, but for some reason I'm always drawn to predominantly cardio exercise! I swing dance, do cardio kickboxing, and I do Kenpo Karate. Karate and kickboxing sometimes involve weights and muscle-building exercise, but it doesn't seem to...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I usually just get compliments and the occasional weirded-out expression, but today was funny... This random man on the street pointed at me and yelled, "You stole that dress off my dead mother!!" Eee!

    All things Sewing Machines!

    It really depends...I personally learned to sew as a kid on both my grandma's Singer and my mother's White, but I don't think I would recommend it.
