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.

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 hav

4 Scandalous Outfits in The 50’s!

This TikTok video shows four scandalous outfit styles women wore in during the 1950’s era. Jasmine Chiswell has put together great examples. It is interesting to know that during this time period women wearing tight short shorts was considered clothing that made people talk bad about. How it brought a bad reputation to some by just wearing these shorts. Today many people wear skintight shorts but that is the norm in society. During the 50’s women were to wear modest clothing and look like a presentable housewife. You were not to wear anything that counteracted this image. This representation could be good for some but bad for others if they did not wish to follow this norm. Coned shaped bras are quite strange I have to admit. They are pointy and do accentuate a women’s chest. I can understand where people were coming from when coned bras were labeled as a scandalous piece of clothing. They bring lots of amount of attention to a women’s chest area and could make some feel unco
