1950's Vendors came to YOU! Door to Door Salesman etc.

I haven't been out of the house since Friday Shopping and errands day but I was thinking of how many people would come knocking at your door in the 1950's or delivered regularly and it wasn't just someone with cookies! I actually bought something from the Fuller Brush man in the early 1970/s, I was a teen and felt bad for this poor guy that was a blast from the past, even in the 70's. I let him in and let him show me everything in his case...the whole schpeal. I ended up buying a VERY expensive hair brush...way more than my poor paycheck could afford but hey...it was the Fuller Brush Man. Then of course there was....Ding Dong...Avon Calling And my absolute Favorite..that didn't come to your door but made his presence known... all dressed in white! THE ICE CREAM MAN....or Good Humor Man, which ever, who cares it was what he sold that made you scream...they scream....we all scream for ice cream Toasted Almond was my favorite Ice cream u...

1950's Retro Diet and Exercise Crazy? Week 2 Day 14

Boy, was I born in the wrong Era!!! I was looking at a Good Housekeeping Magazine from August 1957 and on the cover is this perk to buy this magazine...so of course that got me curious as I was getting ready to go to the gym myself. Basically The diet was doing exercises, naked, with towels soaked in ice water as it was an August edition. LOL And the menu plan for the week was questionable at best in my opinion. I also found an old Met life ad about reducing your weight to prevent health problems Titled "Cheers for Chubby"...they knew back then that it was an issue and still we are heavier than ever. Bottom Line...we eat too much and too much of the wrong things. We have to admit that! The new "Love Your Body" initiative is as dangerous as the "Starve yourself to death"...literally! How about..."If you truly Love Your Body...you will take care of It" I try to eat well and exercise. I AM overweight! I was raised with ...

DAY 2: Coffee Part 2...Money & Hair

Day 2: More than likely these loooong posts are going to shorten as time goes on and the learning "curve" straightens out a bit. But right now it seems that at every turn I am trying to figure something out. There are so many things that I would already know if I were actually a 50's housewife, like what had been invented already...LOL. So, I am still going to be checking in with Google when I just don't know if I can do a certain thing. Also, There are items that had been invented that the general population did not use, couldn't afford etc. I am trying to hit the middle class here and if it wasn't something I remember in my house growing up in the 1960's I am going to go without using it in my 50's experiment. Cashless = No Cash So before I started all of this I actually did some searching online so that I would be ready to go. What has amazed me the most so far, is how NOT ready I was. We have changed so much! I had no idea how much r...
