December 25, 2020December 24, 20201 Comment

We all know that vintage jelly recipes leave a lot to be desired; many are more of a miss than a hit (don't even get me started on some of the recipes I've started... eww), but I've been asked repeatedly since last Christmas to try out some vintage recipes. So here we are, one year … Continue reading Making a Vintage Christmas Jelly

We are all adjusting to a different type of Easter long weekend this year so it's totally okay to try new things or just do very little. To try and boost myself and my mood I thought, let's do some vintage baking. We've done a few vintage recipes already (for Halloween and Valentines Day) and … Continue reading Baking a Vintage Easter Lamb Cake

Now that the temperature is slowly dropping, it's common to feel the effects of seasonal depression. Cold weather and shorter days can bring about a sadness that isn't always easy to snap out off especially after a fun-filled summer. But winter doesn't have to be all dark and gloomy; it's a great time to slow … Continue reading Self Care Winter Tips

The holiday season is always filled with mixed emotions; it's the end of the year and time to reflect, it's a chance to plan new goals for the upcoming year, a moment to be with friends and family and an opportunity to have a little fun.

Sometimes it's scary how well Google knows you and what you like to buy. At the end of last year I kept getting recommended this Acorn Rattan bag from @olliella and you bet ya bottom I loved it. Google knew I would want a bag designed for children for myself. Ah, well played Google, well played.
This weekend was all about recovering from my recent operation but it gave me time to start planning my next vintage ghibli sewing project.
When dressing in the vintage style, many of us feel the pressure to style ourselves in a way to suit. Red lips and curled hair become iconic for vintage styling but for people like me, styling my hair can be a bit of a challenge.
When I was a kid, I went through a pretty strong Hello Kitty phase. My entire desk was covered in every piece of Hello Kitty stationery I could get my hands on, much of which I still have today. The new collection from @erstwilder with @hellokitty made my nine year old self squeal with joy! Oh and of course @miss.vintage.orchid is also Hello Kitty obsessed!

This little bunny wants to wish you all a wonderful and safe Easter.
When you watch one too many 80s films right before an Easter shoot. Bette Midler would be proud 💚
Be honest, how often do you wash your foam/sponge curlers? I try to wash mine at least once a month as I use multiple times a week. They can start to look a bit gross and sad if you don't keep them clean.
Have you ever procrastinated so hard that years go by and you still haven't done the thing you set out to do? Well, that happened to me; for over two and a half years I have wanted to create a mini-series on my blog (and now YouTube) where I take my favourite Studio Ghibli films and characters and turn them into a vintage version of themselves.
Self care is the best kind of care 💙
