I Woke Up Like This:The Curly Dames Guide to Easier Vintage Styling

The Curly Dames Guide to Easier Vintage Styling!



   I will admit to YouTube being one of my guilty pleasures. I mean those vloggers' are awesome and have steered me to more than one awesome sale. A Vintage Vanity  helped me sew my first circle skirt, Lucy's Corsetry inspired me to make the jump for my first corset, and I could just keep going on and on. If you need the help , inspiration or just want to know what's happening in the vintage community this is one of the easiest and most easier accessible mediums in which to do it. One of the most popular topics have been hair tutorials. I don't know how many hours I've spent in the mirror with my tablet or laptop on the counter following step by step instructions from Cherry Dollface or some other popular you-tuber.
 
 However when you're a curly girl things just don't look same; no matter how great these styles are and no matter how closely you follow the steps. You need different products and depending on the style you need to follow different steps and learn the cheats because its going to look different on your hair.  This hair of the day started with me following a vintage forties hair instructional booklet and it did not go well at all. The steps were not working for my hair and it was just all around bad. I really had a bad moment, though I worked it out in the end.
   I get asked the question a lot as well as heard the subject breached on more than one occasion. Yes! you can do vintage styling with naturally curly hair or with natural hair. No their is need for heat styling you can keep your hair in its natural state if that is your choice (it is certainly mine). However what the majority of people don't tell you is that you do have to do a few things differently. Victory rolls on a person with straight hair that's been roller set will never look the same on someone that has curly hair no matter your curl pattern. So you can't sit down at your vanity with that expectation and read these six tips and your hair will come out even better than expected.

OK so I was reading an article that stated the average woman in the U.S. is a size 16.So why is it that most women feel the need to hide the Fact that we have love handles, stretch marks , breast that don't naturally look up to the sky, and god Knows what else. Some of us shy away from bikinis and crop tops and that sexy backless dress instead going for things that hide our "Flaws". Why are we made to feel like we have to maintain an unrealistic standard of perfection when perfection is really in the imperfection . our bodies hold who we are, our journeys, our trails our survival. so be proud of it no matter what condition its in or what its been thru. cause True beauty is the love and acceptance of selfπŸ§–πŸ§˜‍♀️πŸ§•πŸ‘΅ #pinup #blogger #love #style #motivation #retro #rockabilly #style #writer #fashionblogger #womenempowerment #love #acceptance

Eye buy direct




Okay so dispite my reservations I recently purchased glasses online for the first time.  I have to say it was not the nightmare  I thought it would  be, I went to Eye buy direct  and the experience  was really nice.  Customer service where amazing and patient. They did all they could to get me the glasses I wanted and help with my measurements.  Even helped me decide what tint I needed for my  photosensitive eyes.  I will totally buy another pair really soon.
