    Feather Dusters

    Yeah, I feel like feather dusters just put the dust back into the air instead of really trapping it. Much better just to use a damp cloth.

    Back to zits

    Actually, there's no scientific proof that fat in your diet affects acne. Also, sweating doesn't really help at all, you should be extremely careful to wash acne prone areas *immediately* after you work out. I'm all about Proactiv. It seriously cleared up my skin in about 2 weeks, with a...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Anyone know where I can find a repro bra in that lovely vintage peach color? WKD had one that I love and they had a major sale posted yesterday. I went to order today and it was gone :-( It was that lovely sheer Harlow bra. That's the exact color I'm looking for, but i don't want a bullet style!

    Taking measurements for Vintage Clothing

    Try searching some sewing sites for how to measure garments. It's the same now as it's always been. Also, when purchasing, don't forget to leave a little room for ease.

    Your Beauty Secrets...Revealed!

    It's a base/primer but it has that same irridescence to it that gives you a glowing complexion. You could probably also use it as a highlighter, although I've never done that. http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P102808&categoryId=S10853&shouldPaginate=true

    Sephora brand makeup base/primer also does this, but for a lot less money :-)

    Cricket, Pro-Strong also makes a great cuticle moisturizer.

    making your nails strong

    Do you know if it has formaldehyde in it? I know some products that harden your nails also dry them out, which can make them more susceptible to breakage.

    How to pack it all?

    Also, wear your bulkiest items on the plane. Don't pack that pair of jeans, wear them. Wear your bulkiest sweater - you can always take it off and carry it if you need to. Wear your bulkiest shoes.

    making your nails strong

    Thanks for all the suggestions, ladies! Someone complimented me on my nails yesterday. This is the first time I've ever received a compliment on my natural nails. It was quite pleasing. I just wish they'd hurry up and grow out longer!

    How to pack it all?

    Women owned fewer clothes, especially during the war years and most likely had more items that they mixed and matched. Some women traveled with trunks, although I'm not sure when that method fell out of use. NPR ran a feature some time back about how to maximize the amount of stuff you can...

    Fudge: the tastiest holiday treat

    Well you never know! A lot of recipes in Better Homes have been there for decades! The biscuit and cornbread recipes I use from Better Homes is the same in my newer Better Homes book as it is in the old one I have from the 60s.

    Zootshooting

    Except that you would never want to shoot wearing vintage clothing. Shooting gets you dirty and deposits lead dust in your clothes. You would have to have those clothes cleaned after every time you wore them shooting. Not the kind of wear and tear I'd want to put my vintage through!

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    As far as I know, seamless stockings didn't come around until the 50s. If they're sagging, the stockings don't fit you right or your garter belt doesn't fit you right and is sliding. Yes. I have a couple of basic garter belts that do not slide at all. With FF stockings, I definitely...

    Is the belt velvet? I can't tell from the photos but it looks like it. Seems strange to me that asummery, semi sheer fabric would be paired with a winter fabric like velvet.

    Yes, it's probably not original and the buttons have likely been replaced to match.
