50s Couch Throw Pillows

This is a cool whiskey animated pillow for those who love the 1950s! The small comfy square has an alcohol bottle and has a nice brand name on it. It is covered in colors of black, beige, and orange. This pillow is small and has been a limited edition since 1943. The shading of this glass looks realistic and would go well with a farm or modern design living room. My friend has a couch pillow that is similar to this, but she has a wine one. Seeing this reminds me of her house parties she has all the time and how invites her book club friends as well. She is a popular person.

1950s Hairstyles That Were Popular and Easy

 Thoughts on 50's Hairstyles Hairstyles back in this era were mostly shown of women with short curly hair.  They had big curls that made the volume in their hair rise and looked so shiny as well.  The women put curlers in their hair the night before while it was wet so once they took them out they would have lushish waves on the top of their heads. What is not talked about is that they did have long hair in this era.  Those who did produced the commercials and photoshoots just did not include these types of women/hairstyles as much. All of these women had lots of volume and head full of hair as well, I am quite jealous.  Those who had longer hair in the 1950's styled their hair with bigger curlers the night before as well.  I would have to say I love the look of both hairstyles and I found them so intriguing!  Women's Hairstyles in the 1950s Many of the women in this time period went for the short hair with curls as a way to look fancy and presentable....

Vintage Cat Clock From The 50s

This cat clock is a nostalgic but cool gift for those who love the 50’s! The item has a longhand and shorthand that blends in well with the background color. The overall colors for this clock are white and black. This cat has a white outstanding bow and has a smile on it’s face. The eyes move and so does the tail that sways back and forth. My grandfather used to have a clock like this, and it used to freak me out as a kid. It brings back lots of good memories from my childhood. I loved it but hated it at the same time.

Women's Strict Beauty Routines in The 1950's

 What Is So Special About This Film? What is so special about it is the aesthetic this woman put into this video. She has such a cheery and fun voice that lights up the room. This woman has the dressing style down for this 1950's style video about beauty routines and how she does not talk bad about it either.  Some people in their videos they have some terrible things to say about the 50's while they are making a video about this time period. She thinks of doing this routine during the week to give yourself some self-care and be gentle with your skin and body.  The 50's themed music in this film makes it even more calming and has a relaxing vibe to it. She reminds me of my grandma who was born in the 1950's era and brings back some good memories. I definitely would recommend watching this video as she has some great tips and tricks to put in your modern or 50's beauty routine that you have. It works for both!

Scotch Glasses From The 50s

These glasses are so unique looking for those who love the golden age! This box consists of a couple glasses and they are all small. They can fit a nice enough alcohol and you can see through it as well. These whiskey glasses come in a big cardboard box and has a nice print on it. The box is recyclable, which is good for the environment and you can enjoy a nice glass with some friends. My friend has some of these glasses and she loves to host parties consisting with them. It reminds me of the time she invited her boyfriend over and he fell twice. I felt bad for him.

Gender Roles in the 1950s And Why They Are Wrong

 Women's Roles During this time women's roles were quite strict and they had to do all the cleaning, cooking, raising the children.  On top of these they were pushed to be healthy and workout to stay fit for their husbands.  The men on the other hand were supposed to support the family based only on their one income and back in this era wages were for keeping people off the streets.  The 1950's were all about the family life and living to be peaceful after the war ended.  Women were taught to socialize as well but by hanging out with their girl friends and talk to people when going to the grocery store.  Many of the women did not have any social anxiety or felt isolated because they made time to hang out with others and made sure to be out and about even if it were to get coffee.  Lots of them did not rely on TV's to keep their time occupied and kept themselves busy by doing chores, socializing, doing fun activities, taking vacations with their familie...

50s Style Mugs

This is a nice solid mug for those who love the 1950’s! This cup is in all white that matches many people’s modern kitchen style. It has a black print on the front of the mug and is small. The mug fits a good amount of coffee and looks to be sturdy as well. This cup has a tiny handle and has a round bottom. My aunt has a cup that is this similar and it reminds me of when she gets her morning coffee. She bought one for my grandpa, but he does not use it much. Anyway, she loves her coffee all black without any creamer which is quite strange.
