Husbands were Spoiled in the Mornings

This woman who produces this 1950's morning routine video did a great job of capturing this era's vibe. 

She even made the effort to put the month, day, and year of the day she was recreating. It starts off with her sleeping in bed and acting like she is waking up. 

In her view you can see her vanity mirror on her dresser and beautiful antique knickknacks. She even had her hair in what looks to be a cap. 

I have seen many of these morning routines before and people in the 1950's always made their beds and took pride in their houses being spotless. 

Continuing on, this women in the video does the opposite and pulls back the blanket to, "air out." This took me by surprise. 

What I love though is that she is wearing a fancy adorable nightgown. Then she puts on a bed jacket and states these were very common in the 50's. 

It looks to be about a lacy see through cover up and is transparent, it is hard to describe. 

People in the 1950's always opened up their curtains and their windows to let in the crisp air. 

Unless they lived in a place that was hot or during the summertime then they wouldn't. Many of the women washed their face and then choose to shower or bathe afterwards.

She goes on to talk about how the brand pears made a soap that was introduced to the public in 1807 and that this was another common item in the 1950's bathroom. 

Women in the 50's used cold cream in the evening to remove makeup and in the mornings moisturizer was used. 

Oil of ulan was the most used morning moisturizer for women and today it is called, "Olay." This item was introduced to the public in 1952. 

After they were clean in the morning then it was on to make breakfast. These meals usually consisted of eggs and toast. 

Then the women in this era would move onto preparing their husbands lunch for their workday. I assume when they had children they made their lunches for school as well. 

One thing, I loved was how people in the mornings collected the newspaper. We do not use these anymore in 2021.

What Was Good About 1950's Cars?

I have to say that 1950’s cars look like they are from a whole different universe. What I love about these cars are the white streak around the front of each of the tires. You have many car brands such as the Packard, Mercury, Chevrolet Corvette, Hudson, Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Bel Air, Chrysler Imperial, Chrysler New Yorker, Buick Skylar, and more!  I personally have to say the Chevrolet Bel Air is my favorite looks wise. Many people who had cars in this era were more towards those with some wealth. I noticed that a lot of the percentage of people walked, biked, or took the bus to wherever they were going. Not everyone in the 1950’s had a car but those who did had some money. Lots of these cars were geared towards couples who had children as well. The cars back in this time period came in many colors, which I love! Today many people have bland colors on their cars. Which are their preference but cars with unique or cool colors really stand out. When looking through pictures of...

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

  Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to...

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....
