I made Elvis Presley’s Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches

May 8, 2020May 7, 2020Leave a comment

https://youtu.be/efU3swBSL9k We are back with more vintage cooking but this time, I tackle a recipe from the King himself, Elvis. Now Elvis has quite the interesting pallet when it comes to cuisine and is known for some interesting culinary preferences. So I thought today we would try a favourite of King's and see what it's … Continue reading I made Elvis Presley’s Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches

Making Vintage Valentines “Salad” (1952)

February 17, 2020February 20, 2020Leave a comment

Despite my questionable attempt at baking for Halloween, I thought it's about time to get back onto the cooking horse and try some more vintage recipes but this time, for Valentine's Day. After a fair amount of research and looking through old cookbooks and recipes online, I found a vintage treat with a confusing name … Continue reading Making Vintage Valentines “Salad” (1952)

After yesterday's posts and reading all your issues with instagram I am comforted knowing its not just me having issues. I still have no idea how to resolve my techy problems and any google searching always results in user error. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. Has social media resulted in us putting too much weight on numbers? Does our follower number and reach make us better in any way? I wish I could get to know all my followers as I really do love and appreciate you all. Thank you for being apart of my pinup journey. Thank you to followers new and old for all your interactions. You're all appreciated ❤ Earrings and necklace from @daisyjean_floral Jumper from @missfortuneuk Skirt by @hellbunnyofficial

I feel that for a while my instagram has been super glitchy. Whenever I like someones image, the app immediately unlikes it and then I have to re-like it. I've had issues with posting comments and reach. Has anyone had similar issues or know how to fix this? I'm bummed I can't interact with my followers and those that I follow too. I've tried updating the app, deleting it and reloading it but nothing seems to work. Help? I don't know what to do.

I hope everyone is safe in today's stormy weather. It was a rest day today after a bad Endo flare up so I just took it easy in bed. I'm hoping the storm leaves a few golden leaves to admire after it passes but at least I got to frolic during the week 💛🍁💛 Earrings @daisyjean_floral Jumper @mischief_made_me Pants @vivienofholloway

Because I just can't resist a pile of autumn leaves 💛 I'm looking forward to a calm weekend doing some house cleaning, organising and perhaps going on a little trip outside of my house. What are your weekend plans?? 💛 Earrings from @daisyjean_floral Jumper from @mischief_made_me Pants from @vivienofholloway

Today was a better day and turned out quite productive. I even snuck away to take a few sneaky snaps amongst the golden leaves 💛💚💛 I'm trying to make an active effort to not put extra pressure on myself, do at least one thing a day and self care when needed. It was a nice change to actually get into normal pinup clothes and not another pair of pyjama pants and a hoodie. Tomorrows video will be up by evening time as I've been a little overwhelmed this week and have not had much editing time. It'll be nice to upload after a week's break though. 💚💛💚 Hope you all have a lovely Friday tomorrow 💋 Earrings from @daisy Jumper from @mischief_made_me Pants from @vivienofholloway

After a full day of work and the catching up on collabs and blogs, I'm actually a little excited for filming tomorrow. It'll be nice to get a bit dressed up and if there's time, take a few photos. I admire people who do their hair and makeup everyday but it's just not me. As much as I love looking glamorous, I'm also very comfortable looking cosy and comfy around the house. Do you have "house clothes" or do you just wear normal going out clothes at home? I'd love some true vintage lounge wear but it's not easy to find... Unless I start looking for sewing patterns...

So I took a few days off from the social media as I just wanted to have a bit of a break. There's so much pressure to produce perfect images accompanied by a perfect life on social media and I just couldn't keep up with it. I took the time out to focus on myself, my mental health and also clean out certain areas of my home. I've attacked an area a day and although my house isn't perfect yet, it's starting to look better. It's hard when I don't have my own home yet and want my house to reflect me. I feel like I can't make my home my own because it's not mine yet. Today I sorted out my jewellery and of my gosh!! Why has no-one called for an intervention?! I've still got to organise my resin brooches which is a task in itself but I'm excited to have it all sorted soon. Tomorrow I'm back into filming, blogging and photos. I've missed you all and glad to be back. Thank you to all who reached out to see if I was OK and to a special friend and a lovely long phone call earlier today ❤❤ Be kind. Be true. Be you.

I havn't really been feeling myself lately and havnt even wanted to get dressed up. As someone who expresses the self through their clothing, to bum around in pyjamas for a whole day can feel very odd. I don't get fully dressed up everyday and I do love my comfy house clothes but I think being stuck at home I feel like I'm losing a part of myself. I was doing a bit of online shopping tonight to just get a few staple pieces for winter and it seems everything is as out in my size. Oh bugger. It's always the way isn't it haha. I was trying to challenge myself to wear more separates as I tend to stick to my dresses so a few extra blouses would have been great as I actually have very few. I know everything will go back to normal and I can get dressed up again soon but for now I'm feeling a bit stuck. I was hoping something new and pretty would cheer me up :( oh well... Someone talk me out of getting a new cardigan... Quick! Photo by @hot_pixel Coat from @heartmycloset_clothing Earrings from @deluxe_creations

I decided it wasn't a day for working and instead it was a day for friends. It was a breath of fresh air to laugh, good off and yell at each other to stop yeeting food (within a game I should add). Social distancing is hard but I'm so happy to have friends where no matter how much time goes on, we just pick up where we left off. I can't wait until I can see all my friends a little more often; most of all I'm looking forward to laughing out loud again. ❤💋❤ Coat from @averyvintagetour

It's been a productive Monday on my end with some event planning, collab planning and organisation of future videos and blogs too. Today's video has been edited and upload so it's now up on my channel, link in bio! I'm hoping to go out some time this week, even if it's just to take photos. I'm so excited by the autumn leaves that I can't let them vanish before the seasons done. What are your goals for this week? I hope you're all doing OK ❤❤ Coat from @averyvintagetour . . . . . . #autumnvintage #wintervintage #vintagecoat #vintagesewing #memade #winterpinup #autumnpinup #vintagestyle #vintagefashion #vintageoutfit #mrsmaisel
