Tips & Tricks

Why not give a gift in wrapping that can be used after unwrapping the gift? I rolled a wine bottle in a beautiful linen dish towel for a beautiful, useful, double duty gift!

Umbrellas these days are as disposable as Kleenex why not remove the fabric from one thats no longer useful as rain protection and hang it upside down in your shower? It’s the perfect rack for drying your dainties.

Tired of your parties (and furniture) reeking of cigarette smoke? Fill small snifters with white wine vinegar and place them around your home unobtrusively. They’ll soak up that smoke smell like nobody’s business. Its best to float a small artificial flower on the surface, though so your unsuspecting guests dont mistake it for their drink!

Fashion sense was all about accenting the thin waistline. Here are a few styles to follow:

• Wear full Skirts that accent the slim waistline.
• Wear Pencil Silhouette skirts that accent the slim waistline.
• Combine skirts with a sexy pair of high heels to match
• Work hard to get a slim waistline!
• Wear an cute printed apron when in the kitchen
• A peaches and cream complexion is the basis of any Fifties makeup look. Remember eyebrows were usually narrowed and blush and eye shadow were minimal thus, natural looking.
• Full red lips make any fifties look complete!
