- Hello Darlings,
This weeks video is a 1950's morning routine that is based off a typical morning routine from the time and also inspired by my Grandma's actual morning routine! I hope you enjoy the video!
Lots of love,
Sage

Made me nostalgic of a time I've never even known
Ah yes the great times of oppression, sexism, and racism
The house looks familiar somehow too me
Yeah, nostalgic of a time when ladies served their men everyday, had to be pretty all day, smell good all day, put makeup on for them every day and be a housewife and nothing else. Nostalgic of a time when ladies could not vote, had no voice and didn't work at all because they were toο busy raising kids, cleaning the house and being pretty. I would never want to live like that. I want to make my own money, spend my own money and have a happy life with a man who knows how to cook, clean, be a real man who can take care of himself and knows how to treat me equally. I want to take care after him because I WANT TO, not because I HAVE TO due to society's stereotypes. That's true love and that's a happy life.
@@5itka although yes, that was the bad part of the timing back then, but what I think others are trying to saw is that they seem to enjoy the style and the clothing, hair, and seem to enjoy the aesthetic as one. Let’s not ruin the fun for others shall we?
no cuz me too
Sage, my toddler can't go to sleep at night without "the pretty lady show", which is now requested every night at bedtime. We are both hooked and love to watch your classy vintage content.
Awww I am so honoured you both watch my videos together!! 💞❤️✨Reading this melted my heart!! Xx
Latenightanarchy, Your toddler sees the type of mother he's yearning for in Sage.
Love love love the name Sage! 💕
That is so precious!
Absolutely precious! Thanks for sharing!!❤️
For as long as I can remember, whenever I’d wake up at my grandparents house I’d see my grandma sitting at the table, eating her oatmeal, doing her crossword
Sweet! My grandpa used to wake up super early, listen to the news on the radio and just stare out the window with his hands behind his back (he always did that) while his coffee was brewing!! Oh the memories ❤
@Sloane14uwu awww ❤
My grandparents would always get up very early and read the morning newspaper while they sipped their coffee, the morning news or update on the latest college sport on in the background (radio or TV). Grandma would always save the crossword for last, while grandpa would save the comics for last and for us grandkids to read. Over a nice cold bowl of fruit and glass of orange juice, would we grandkids try (and fail) to help grandma with the crossword, while grandpa made us all eggs and sausages at the stove. He never forgot the Heinz yellow mustard for the sausages and mild salsa for the eggs. Such happy memories I will treasure forever! 😊❤️☕️
Yesss and same with aunts like I’d wake up at 10:30 on the weekends and they wake up at like 4 a.m to make breakfast lol
My grandmother is 96 and claims that doing the crossword every morning is what kept her mind sharp even into her old age.
So, I did a few of these things for my fiancé a few weeks ago. He barely noticed & wasn’t impressed. Then as we were falling asleep that night he goes “thanks for breakfast. It was nice having coffee with you before work”. Omg. My heart ❤️ I never even realized how nice it would be. I may do it once a month for him...maybe!
I have coffee with my partner every morning before he goes to work and we always sit at the table to have dinner each night. It's only a small thing but it's the small things that make something special.
It is a lovely time to bond and spend together. I get up every morning and make coffee for my man and I to have before he goes to work.
Well almost every morning, being very pregnant now 😂
I would also caution that sometimes they are thinking it but just don’t know how to say it. My bf does this a lot too, I think he hasn’t noticed something or cared then at night when we’re falling asleep he’ll say something small about it but if I gush about him liking it and hug him he smiles and gets bashful and says I’m embarrassing him. :) It’s cute in its own way. Many men desperately want to take care of you and be taken care of, but sometimes they’re not raised knowing how to show it comfortably.
Your story sounds so cute! Keep trying little things that are fun for you when you want to and his reaction can be a lovely bonus. ❤️
My hubby gets up at 3 or 4am every morning so we only get breaky on weekends together. I normally make the breaky and he makes the tea or coffee and it's so nice just to sit down and catch up over a feed. I think men do notice, I think they just don't know how to go about showing or saying appreciation in the moment sometimes and I think once they see it makes us happy they then feel comfortable to do it more too.
He would love it.
Sometimes I forget that people in this time period lived in colour too 😂 this was awesome
Thank you! x
Hahaha ...me too
I always forget this!
I often have to remind myself that our ancestors didn't run around in black, white and shades of gray when looking at old photographs.
Me too😂
I grew up in the 50's. Our breakfast routine comprised of eggs, toast and jam, sausage/ham, oatmeal and waffles. We had a farm so much of what we ate came from our farm. In the summer we would go down to the creek and pick blueberries, black berries and add those to our breakfast table. Homemade butter and dairy cream for our meals. Sigh, those were good times.
Sounds like a wonderful childhood.
Wow that sounds like a great childhood having all that delicious homegrown food! Yum!
So the “good days”were when segregation was happening ? Got it
@@siehra1995 u ruin vibes.
@@venus_0014 glad to see I helped love ❤️😘
So, I know all the books say, often explicitly, to dress AFTER breakfast, but my family who lived through the 50s definitely taught me to get up, make my bed, bathe/toilet, dress, and THEN prepare the morning meal, while everyone else did morning chores. I think that's because we came from farming people, who certainly didn't have a lot of leisure time. My father in law still says how impressed he was with his mom, who always seemed to have her hair done, her nails painted, and wore high heels daily ...even though she obviously wore an apron to protect her dress and kerchief to protect her hair. I remember my grandma also wore a dress almost every day, except when she wore pants for hunting, fishing, or sometimes for gardening. The only day she was ever in her bathrobe was Christmas morning, and she had a special holiday robe just for opening gifts in...so did my granddad.
What I like so much about these historical routines is the peace you can take from devoting yourself to the tasks at hand. Like when you were hand washing clothes in the 1940’s housewife video. Maybe not a preferable way to wash clothing but I think the lesson is there all the same, get lost in a creative or productive task every now and then, it’s healthy. You do a great job, thank you for these videos.
It's what would be dubbed as mindful/intentional living. Plus back then you didn't have near the amount of clothes that we have now. Just doing laundry for a family of 4 can be overwhelming these days and I have a washer (that is moody) & dryer! Lol
That sandwich... she just wouldn't stop adding stuff 🤣
It looked so good.... but wouldn't it get soggy for her hubbys lunch with the condiments on it?
@@Iceis_Phoenix It surely would....
@@Iceis_Phoenix That is exactly what I thought. I’d package all separately because of it getting soggy
Ok. Glad I'm not the only one thinking that.
The beets in the sandwich were a bad idea. She should have wrapped them up separately.
Everyone rich or poor took great pride in their homes and appearances
My grandmother mother would say "it doesnt matter if you are rich or poor, you should always have manners and class"
Bc people actually had time to clean properly
@maelienydd wow that’s kind of extreme I’m glad I grow up like that
So true! This video was awesome!
No they didn’t
This so reminded me of my mom! Just add 4, then 6, then 8 kids. She always took a bath, had a beautiful vanity table with a huge mirror, and pinned up her hair every night for years 💕🌸💚☕️🦋💙👍🏽😀🐥🌸
Aw she sounds lovely! Xx
18 kids?
@@quiara_playz9296 ahahah
Brings back memories of my grandma ♥️ Every morning she’d sit at her vanity, do her hair up, ponds on her face, pat on her face powder, eyebrows and her favorite dark red lipstick. Then dress after a big breakfast. But don’t bother her during her soap opera time!! I miss that. 🥲

My husband’s grandmother would get her hair done at the salon every week. They would wash it, style it and set it. It would stay still for the entire week!
My dear grandmother did this too, every Friday. A couple times she took me to the salon with her.
Yes, same! but my grandmother slept in a hair bonnet and then she went through a can of hairspray a week -- or so it seemed. Her hair always looked FLAW. LESS. FLAWLESSSSSS!!!!!!
My 84-year-old grandmother still does this!
My 90 year old grandmother still does this to this day! Once a week hair salon visits are all I know growing up alongside of her!!
My mom, and many others, were still getting theirs done once a week in the mid-70s. Loved to go with her and walk around the shopping center while waiting for her.
Some days I feel like a ✨housewife✨ and other days I feel like evicting men from the planet
What a marvelous comment 😂
me too
I feel like a ✨happy housewife✨ when my fiancé is too occupied with his work phone calls to get in my way 🤣
Exactly 😂😂me too(frm India )
LMFAO
love it!!!! show us how to make 1950s coffee!!!! and what you use
Looks like she used a french press. They're pretty inexpensive and easy to use
Either a French press or percolating coffee machine would work
My mother always used a percolator, which was a metal coffeepot with a small, hollow glass bubble at the top of the lid. Inside the pot, there were a metal stem and a metal basket with small holes. You put water in the pot and ground coffee in the basket, put the lid on and set it on the stove to boil. The boiling water would bubble up through the stem and down through the coffee grounds. No filter was used but most of the grounds stayed in the basket. You could watch the glass bubble in the lid and see the coffee getting stronger and darker. Mom loved her coffee strong and a rich, deep color and she drank it piping hot, no sugar or cream.
@@sharonc.3714 we always had coffee from a percolator or just boiled in a pan... my grandmother was Greek and said that's how they did it. Sometimes you had to chew your coffee, but it was delicious 😋
@Legend Corbin why would u do that?
Without meditation, candles, being productive and eating clean, morning routine can be this cute and everyday special 😀 love this video!
A tip from someone who used to work at Lush! Pour your bubble bath directly into the fast running tap flow so the agitation creates bigger bubbles.
That's the way I learned from my mom 20 years ago! Although I'm also pretty sure most bubble baths say to on the bottle
Something I learned as a kid who loved bubble baths 😅😅
Thanks for that tip!
pure logic
Another tip! If it’s a shower/bath combo, turn on the shower head, it makes even more bubbles ☺️
So cute :) I loved that James was dressed in the button down for this video with his hair combed to the side!! It really adds when he's dressed like the 50s husband :) cheers from USA!!
Thank you!! 😊
He looked so good, seemed like a different man!
I used to work at a pain management clinic that Jack was a patient at. He would always show off how even in his seventies he could still do his high kicks! He was such an awesome person who was always in the greatest mood no matter how much pain he was in. 😊
This made me feel closer to my late Mom. She would have been 26 in 1952 and living in Connecticut, U.S.A. She always pulled the bed covers down when getting up to air the bed out and always opened the windows. I wasn't even born then so I don't really know what her lifestyle was like and I believe it was probably something just like this. This was so wonderful getting a glimpse of how a young lady would have lived and gone about her routine in the 50's. One thing though I did spot is that there was no Colgate Total in 1952!
And there weren't many other things 😂
🤣🤣
You and your hubby are such a good looking couple. You both compliment each other’s good looks.
Awww, thank you so much!!
He is such a good sport about being a co-star in your clips. You are so cute together.
@@SandyToes75 hehe thanks so much! 😊
I love my job but there are times where I wish my job could just be housewife and mother. And I would be great if other women didn’t look down of the women who choose this life.
People will always have things to say, no matter what you do. Just follow your own path🤗
Yeah @Rain I personally don’t think the life of a housewife is for me. But I think housewives/homemakers are amazing. Honestly it’s your life and you’ve gotta live it. Good luck :)
Same here 😔 I’m single and I work but I can’t wait to be a housewife 🙏🏽😩
I know the feeling, especially since I've never enjoyed the workforce. It's just a paycheck for me. My husband has tapped out financially at his job so after our baby is born, he's moving up elsewhere so that within a couple years we can afford for me to be a stay at home and I can't wait for the day.
I mean lots of women (and men) look down on me because I don't want biological kids and will never have them (unless something truly fucked up happens).
That doesn't change a thing. I'm still going to not have kids.
It's your life.
Vintage is well and truly alive , bring back this kinda vibe full time
Her: opens window to let in fresh morning air
Me, living in nyc: 🤢 🚗 💩 🚶♂️ I think I won’t
I live next to a cow yard. Peuw
I live next to the tomato and corn fields in the Bay Area California. It Stinks especially the tomatoes be smellin like straight ass😭
@@om3564 I would have never thought about how much that would smell. You poor thing. yuckiest.
Me living in a polluted city in brazil :
@@pattycake8272 yeah it’s terrible. Especially when they use horse poop for fertilizer and stuff 😭
So delightful to watch and especially seeing people living their lives, without the distraction of mobiles phones.👍
I didn't realize how similar this routine is to my own after I gave birth, the first time. I would like to see a morning routine with kids in this time period.
Осталось завести пару детей
It was well organised and children did as they were told…no tantrums in those days unless you wanted a smack on your bottom with an open hand ✋🏼
@@looloo4029True but there was also a lot more CSA going on back then
I think there is much more of that happening today vs back then tbh....😔😢
My great grandmother always used Pears for body and face! When I became old enough to wash my face for the first thing, that’s the first thing my mum recommend as my great grandmother always looked so much younger than she was!! Love that you showcased that!
The date shown in the morning routine took place on what would’ve been my grandma’s 10th birthday! Crazy how time flies!
this looks so calming what are we doing now . bringing more chaos . such a calm routine
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Well, you'll notice: no kids, lol
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 I'm sure we glamorize it more than the reality, but times were a little "slower". Of course, a housewife with kids would have had more breakfast to cook and lunches to pack, but they were not working outside the home. This definitely allowed them to take a little more time to get ready in the morning. If any kids were at infant or toddler stage, this might have been a little less true.
Watching this suddenly makes me forget about all the problems in my life 😊
I love this video.
I grew up watching “I Love Lucy”
I always wondered what she ate for breakfast. In some episodes, she is seen eating what looked like an orange / grapefruit and perhaps toast / coffee
Tomato juice / orange juice and some eggs was common; sometimes bacon if one could afford it
Turns out, it was common to put a grapefruit in the oven with cinnamon and sugar ; becomes caramelized
Omg I tried it; so yummyb
I remember my nana having the oil of Olay glass jar on the bathroom counter. I always thought it was so classy looking. Nana was such a lady. We flew overseas frequently because the family worked and lived in Australia for years before moving back to the states for good. When nana flew, she wore a beautiful dress, matching bag and shoes with a hat. She always looked like she worked for a department store. Of course this was in the late 60’s and very early 70’s. I feel like the majority of society does not have a clue to just how classy our grandparents were. Many have forgotten what a real lady looked and acted like.
Yes! Back then, people dressed up for everything. 🙏💗
Having been born in late 50’s , I long to live this way….
My grandmother will be 90 in April and she does many of these things. She airs out the bed, opens the window, etc.
So charming dear. My mother was in college in 1941 in the u.s. when an advertising photographer asked to take her picture washing her face with Palmolive soap! She was selected best dressed and ALWAYS PINNED A FAKE FLOWER IN HER HAIR.
My mother swore by Palmolive soap and Ponds cold cream. She always had a beautiful complexion. Even in her eighties she had few wrinkles.
Aw, that is such a sweet story!! Thank you for sharing this
Oh ! how lovely , even my mother pinned a fake flower in her hair every day. That was in the 1970 .
My great grandma just passed away 2 years ago at 84 and she did her crosswords and sudoku puzzles every single day while standing at her stove top. Memories from staying the night at her house when I was little bring a smile to my face.
Wonderful, Sage! Thank you so much! I grew up in the '50s and this really took me back. Such a wonderfully more simple time.
You're an absolute doll, love your home and this video.
Thank you so much!! xx
To anyone reading this, I hope you’re feeling well and having a lovely day! Stay safe and remember to keep smiling in these weird times, sending lots of love from a small UA-camr❤️ ❤️
When i watch your old videos it’s always so astonishing to me how you have transformed your home, like your kitchen and bathroom and so on, so that it fits perfectly with your vintage style ✨
What an aesthetic! 💙💙💙
Imagine getting to take a bath in the morning. I love this
Well just move to england its common to take baths instead of showers here!
@@Jasminerice... I moved to England one month ago. Now, taking a bath is my favourite part of the day :D
Why is that so in England?
@@allegramirata4851 We like to relax!! Baths are a lot more effortless! :)
Many folks ONLY take baths 🤯. It was common after the war, especially when lots of people were accustomed to having a weekly "bath day" for the whole family. My mother in law grew up in the 50s and her family all bathed on one day...using one washtub...in the SAME WATER 🤣👌. That's 12 people, all in the same wash water. Although I'm sure they topped it off halfway through because it would cool off 😖. They were in North Dakota. In rural parts of America, it was still pretty rustic. I imagine baths were more common in England (and remain so) as a way to conserve water after water rationing during the war. In the US we were encouraged to use only 2 inches of wash water during WW2, and I imagine water rationing in England was hard too.
The newspaper added a nice touch!
Thank you :)
This is a really fun video! I was born in 1956 and that Jack LaLaine exercise show really brought back memories of my childhood!!
You two are absolutely the cutest! My grandparents married in 1955, and I think it's fascinating to see how they may have lived in their daily lives, several decades before I came around! Love you and your videos!
I wish these videos were an hour long... they go by too fast because they're just so lovely and enjoyable! Exquisite videos, every time. 💕
I find them so calming and soothing. Everything so neat and orderly!
I agree!
Anna marie - yes it does look neat and orderly ...everything was so little.. that tiny little vanity table, that little vanity chair, little kitchen table, living room furniture, bed. In the US, furniture is massive. The rooms and houses are so big and are needed to be filled with big furniture to scale. This little timy antique furniture looks like cute dollhouse furniture now lol
And her tiny little voice compared to 🗣🗣🗣🗣 *HEYYYGUYYYYYS* 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
@@annamarie5988 so true! They're very soothing and calming. And her voice is as well🙂
I'm not sure why exactly, but your videos have inspired me to start dressing the way I want. Thank you, I feel like I'm finally meeting myself
Aw, that is so lovely! I'm so glad you are dressing the way you want
My grandma just passed away and I miss her so much. She would have been 18 in 1952. Watching your videos helps me remember her. Thank you ❤
I love this!! My dream in life would be to go back into the 50s and be a housewife. I was absolutely born in the wrong decade. We have Pears soap and we use it for household things too. We have a door that rubs on the frame, rub Pears on it and comes off smoothly like a crayon and you have a quiet door again.
What a great little trick with the pears soap, I’ll have to try that! 😊
Remember not to romanticise the fifties. Romanticise the AESTHETICS
It depends on country as well as how big the family was. My mom watched this and said "we would go pick eggs out of the hen house and some would pick berries." They would make stuff like Shepard's pie, cherry pie was huge, toast is correct. The mom would buy patterns to sew different dresses. In my mom's family, they would get 2-3 dresses when sewing was started. Pop at the store with ice cream shakes and milk at the door with the paper. Cabbage soup, eggs cooked with a fish in them, huge ice boxes to hold food so it doesn't go bad and a kid sent to get a block of ice to put in these huge ice boxes. Her mom was always cooking and cleaning with little time to relax. Kids were always helping and doing school work or being in activities in the school. Women ordered hats back then to come in nice boxes with paper. A good gift for someone in that time was a small watch or clock. My mom had one that wound up.
Sooo cute!! And I love that you even had a proper 1950s paper handy. :D
haha thanks so much, yes it was very convenient! xx
Was thinking the same thing. :)
I love watching your videos because they have encouraged me to take better care of myself with these routines you've suggested. ❤️
I see that James scraps the top of the butter. My grandma did this (to the dismay of my mom. "Do it too, to the dismay of my wife"). My Grandma was the quintessential 40's & 50's housewife. Performing all household tasks, hair and makeup (perfict), festive colored dress and apron with pearls and pumps. Never once did I hear her complain. And like you showed in one of your videos, at 6:10 everything stopped so she could freshen up to meet my Grandfather at the door with a kiss, slippers, newspaper and pipe at 6:30. Dinner was always at 7 and you could set you watch to it. Oh, and we kids had to dress for dinner (meaning, no jeans and t-shirts), collared shirt, buttoned all the way (tie not necessary) and clean slacks. Watching your vids brings back memories.
I like it already since you mentioned letting the bed air out. I’m tired of so many you tubers saying make your bed as soon as you wake up!
Ive never hear about it before now, how come it should «air out»? I can imagine there are reason, but which in particular?
@@Cuntmilk when you sleep sometimes you sweat or moisture gets on the sheets. It's good to let that escape.
I throw my bedclothes down to the bottom of the bed when I get up. After breakfast and having a bath I then put the cleaner on the bed because my husband has eczema. I shake everything and then fold the duvet neatly at the end of the bed. I wait until I'm getting into bed to pull the duvet up. The bed is left to air all day with the window open if it's not too cold. I cringe at the thought of a sweaty bed.
Everyone is different. She did a lot of things that 50s housewives didn't do here in the US as a majority. And one of them was airing the bed out. I never saw any older woman do that ever even ones that worked. I know the reason I don't do that is because I literally will not come back to do it later. Same with getting dressed I do it right when I get up. I get dressed, cleaned up and ready for my day right away because after that my whole day centers around my kids and enjoyment throughout the rest of the house. I don't see my bedroom again normally until its bed time or if I have to put something in there or get something and I won't waste my time making the bed if its not made.
@@Cuntmilk You're are supposed to let the bed air out because of the moisture (sweat) and heat. Leaving that all in feed dust mites (so I've heard). However, I often make my bed immediately.
You look lovely in that outfit at the end of the video. Did you know that your smile spreads joy? Without realizing it, I smile when I see you. I love these types of videos where we see what life would be like in those years, it's something I want. Thanks for everything! ♥
This is the best comment and you’re a wonderful person. ❤️
This, this is a masterpiece. I love the 1950s they were one of my favorite time periods!!.
Plus I used to ask my mom how was it in 1950s and she use to tell me, that it wasnt so bad, and that her grandmother grew up in the 1920s through the 1950s and that's when I became so obsessed.
Sage always puts me in such a great mood!!!! Anytime I feel down I watch a few of her videos and I swear my whole attitude about the day changes. Thank you!
I was totally whisked away in watching this video. Thank you so much for it. As the years keep passing with more social media, busyness, and phone/TV/computer screens everywhere, I find myself even longing for the 90s and early 2000s, and this was such a wonderful respite from everything. I felt so calmed by it, and like many of the other viewers, would love to experience the relative simplicity of the ‘50s. Your video gave me some ideas of how we can still incorporate elements of then into our today. Truly, thank you 🙏
How lovely. I'm personally more of a fan of the Victorian era, and I am very lucky to work in a pharmacy built about a decade before the era began. We still have the original pill cabinets along the walls as well as tons of vintage medicine bottles on display. Even though I can't (and in some cases, such as being a biracial trans man, wouldn't like to) be in that era entirely, it is nice that I work in a place that takes pride in its history.
That is wonderful, Sebastian! I majored in American and Medieval Histories in college, and am drawn to the middle and late Victorian eras, as well as the WWII years in terms of work ethic, rationing and not letting things go to waste.
I love watching your videos! Takes me back to an era that I really wish I was actually alive in! Keep sharing! 🤍
I'm loving watching your channel! I usually read a lot of vintage Ladies Home Journal, it's so cool to see the tips from the magazine working irl!! My family was very poor, and my grandfather died early, living my grandmother alone to take care of her 5 kids. She didn't know how to read and had to work since she was 7, so she knew nothing about taking care of her health, skin or even kids, as she barely saw them, working from morning to late night. I always wanted to learn more about the day to day life of people that had a "normal" lifestyle in the 50s. Thank you so much for your videos!
You are an absolute delight, and you inspire so many of us to live better lives. Since watching your videos, I've been making more home-cooked meals for my soon-to-be husband, and have been making more of an effort on my personal appearance. Thank you :)
Aw, that's so lovely! xx Thank you so much for watching and I'm honoured I was able to inspire you!
Omg I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO!! It gives me so much positivity and calmness. It’s actually good and sad to see how simple life was/ can be :(
I remember the womenfolk in my family wearing girdles & the stockings. I think women were so feminine & beautiful then when the dresses were gorgeous. Even if they were a simple one they had a nice pattern & style. Then the hair was done so nice. It just takes time & today women don’t usually spend that much time just getting dressed. BTW, my mother still cleans her house daily (health permitting). Meals at the table always & the kitchen kept clean. This is a healthy home. Everything in it’s place AND the frig cleaned before each weekly shopping. I’m motivated. I’m just recovering from a severe back injury so all I can do is sit & watch you clean & make yourself beautiful for your husband. You even make your food pretty! Thank you! Your channel is so nice to watch.
This made my heart happy🥹 The 50's is a time I wish I could time travel to
I LOVED Pears soap when I was a little kid in the 60's.
Honestly nothing compares, even the smell is just so nostalgic!!
That looks like Besame lipstick!
@@SageLilleyman Do you have the pre-2009 version of this soap before they changed the formula? I wonder how it differs from today.
You can still buy it in the shops. The 50"s were not that nostalgic if you were living in poor housing. This routine was only for the middle classes and the rich.
Poor housing existed of outside toilets ,no running water,damp and families living top to toe in beds.
Rose tinted glasses!!
I used pears soap in the 90s. I forgot how much I loved it. It was great for washing ur face esp. May go buy some. Thanks
How graceful this to watch..🥺 So relaxing No hustle It's all about 100% me time and with loved ones..no interruption of outside world and minding own businesses with so much caring and love themselves!❤️ Wanna have a time like this when i get married one day with my lovely boyfriend😇
(Still um a uni student)
Lots of love from Sri Lanka💕
My mother was the quintessential 1950s lady. Happy home, Mom at home in peace, Dad worked to provide, thankful for that and happy to model it in my own home with my family.
Super cute! Best of luck to your sister! Being a mom is so difficult! I hope you all helped her clean, cook and watch baby as much as you could. I’m sure she deserves the break. 😊☕️
I was a child in the 50's and my mom was always put together.
I look back on our meals around the table and the conversations that kept us all in the loop.
Plus we ate well, healthy snacks, remember mom doing her excercises, and the kids played outside.
I wish everyone knew and could live in the 50's.
Thanks for the wonderful memories
i have to say it´s funny how people think this is what everybody did in the 50s when actually it was just the more lucky and wealthy people back then and let´s face it, they have a pretty good life now too. My grandma got up at 5:00, washed up quickly, started her chores while having her coffee (i mean, she didn´t exactly have a washer and dryer to do the laudry quickly or a vacuum cleaner to keep the house tidy) then she got the kids ready that she had at 19 and 20 years old despite not being ready at all, made breakfast for everybody, fed the dogs and then went to open the butchery at 8:00. My mother came home from school, did her chores, then was sent outside to play so she "wouldn´t be in the way". When it was time for dinner, she was called in to be ignored at the dinner table while her parents talked about business and was then left to clear the table and do the dishes while her bother was free to do whatever he wanted. It was also the time around which sodas and ready made foods became available to the broad public and my grandma never had time to really cook, so along with the stress, this surely contributed to my grandma´s lifelong weight struggle. Adding in the fact that nobody in the familiy had healthy teeth by the age of 30. Luckily, the anti baby pill came onto the market by the early sixties, which helped my grandma immensely as she really coulnd´t handle any more children. She didn´t have a choice earlier as the only chance she had of leaving her evil mother´s home was to get married. I don´t know about you but i´m pretty damn glad i do not have to live in that time.
Lol, the lack of rights for woman were amazing too.
As a woman, and even better, a person of color it’s a huge no for me. No, I would not want to live in the 50s.
Joy RIngold As a woman the 50s are amazing
@@Fleurdecarmel as in the age? Maybe, but as in the time period, no. We couldn’t even own anything without a man’s name on it. Lol.
You are such an inspiration to me. I have always wanted to live a vintage lifestyle. I have just recently moved in with my boyfriend and I feel so inspired to begin a 50's lifestyle, now when I see that it's possible. Thank you so much for showing me how to dress and fix my hair!
This was lovely because it feels so simple and not rushed . I feel like people (families) don’t sit down together - society and technology advances have made it so people rush out the door to work and school. My friend has breakfast with her family most mornings which is lovely but I feel as a whole people don’t. With things like takeaway coffee, and breakfast bars we’re actually geared towards fast, faster and fastest 💨
Hi Sage, I love your videos and I was born during the 1940's. My adult son and his family are coming to stay this weekend and I'm going to incorporate some of the breakfast ideas. I think the main idea from this and all your videos is to embrace the everyday graciously!! You really do and inspire all of us! Hugs from Southern California,
"Embrace the everyday graciously" - that's good. I'll use that.
The original Oil of Olay beauty fluid was amazing! I wish they’d bring that back.
I wish they would too!! It's such a shame that so many beautiful and good quality products that were made back then no longer exist!
My nanny used that and always had it on her dresser. I used to love the smell of it.
My mom swore by oil of olay..she would be 94 now
What do they make now that's comparable to the old school stuff?
@@tncowgirl34 I don’t think they make anything now that is comparable to the 50s and 60s. I was a little girl/teenager in the 50s and it was a wonderful time to live. These videos bring back so many wonderful memories
I really think this is fun. Yes,my mother definitely spent her morning very similar to this. Thanks for the video 😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! xx
@@SageLilleyman I did,sweetie 😊
What a beautiful peaceful simple time ❤
these videos always remind me of my great grandmother and make me feel like i'm seeing into a part of her younger life 🥺 thank u for existing lol
Everything women did back then was just infused with so much love!!! Even though I can't perfectly replicate this lifestyle it still inspires me to do small acts of service and love for my Family. It brings me so much joy!
Sage , your videos are very educational and interesting. I love your enthusiasm for the Vintage Life . You talked about going back to the University, but it seems you are meant for the Video Life you just seem to be naturally a Guide, Embrace The Glamorous Side a The Vintage Woman of the 1950s. Thank you
Aw, that means a lot for you to say that, thank you! :)
Are you telling me it wasn't common practice to stay in bed for an hour after waking up 🤣 bruh, I wake up at 6:45a-7:15a and I don't bother leaving bed until at least 8:15, sometimes 8:30. After that, I get up, eat, and have cozy pajama time til 12pm.
I'm a 50s nightmare lmao
Sage you are amazing! These are the kind of videos that are our favourite!! Days and routines of traditional 1950s housewife living! It would be so wonderful if you did many many more of those!!!! All the best to you, always!
It's funny that I'm from the US so you upload every Saturday afternoon for me.
Oops I know it's quite a time difference! I need to say 'see you next Saturday' or 'see you next week' instead!
@@SageLilleyman That's okay! I like thinking it's supposed to come next Sunday and being surprised every week.
@@6thgraderfriends hahahah! xx
My mom was never big on perfume but she always used the Oil of Olay beauty fluid when I was a kid and that smell is so nostalgic to me. I love it! Great video lovely!
This gives me nostalgia watching this. But it’s great.
Hi there i came across your channel and I think your so inspirational to today's society. I love you have just engulfed the whole 1950's theme. May be you could have your other half take a photo of you just like your grandma and print it in black and white.
Your outfit and hair of the day screams Peggy Carter to me. Love it!
Yes. Use gloves when you wash the dishes and clean the house.
I THOUGHT I WAS WEIRD FOR DOING THAT🤣
@@Wynnnter Actually, we are supposed to wear an apron and gloves when we cook and clean.
@@michelletackett9489 I do. I literally brought an apron and matching gloves just a to clean in and I really thought I was insane
@@Wynnnter you are doing the right thing. You are keeping yourself clean and safe.
@@michelletackett9489 I may or may not pretend to be a BnB owner as I clean👀🤣
What delightful videos you make. I am a child of the 50s and they take me back to a simpler gentler era. You have such a sweet voice too .
Your videos make me so happy during these uncertain times. ❤️❤️
This was such a cute video! It makes me want to start a video or audio diary with my grandmother on her routines and her days!
Thank you! That's a great idea, you should! xx
You definitely should!!
I love this! I am so interested in the Olden days. I wish we could go back in time for a day or two.
These are phenomenal views into the past. Thank you for bringing them to life again. I just found your channel and it’s amazing! Thank you!
My favorite decade! Thank you!!
Reminds me of happy days with mom. ❤.
There’s so many little things to do it seems like you wouldn’t even be dressed and ready to do regular chores/errands until at least noon
Life was also a lot slower then
I was thinking, if I were to do everything in this video and make it to work i would need to wake up at 5 am! I need to be at work at 7 am and 8 am most mornings.
This would be me if i didn’t have to work and didn’t have kids too 🤷🏽♀️
@@Teremoanabrockbank me too ... unfortunately life now is so different , women and mums have to work so it’s hard to do feminine stuff.
I wish I could have one morning to myself 😂
@@PSL_Lover2024 I would definitely need to shower not bathe if I wanted to be on time. Granted, if one was used to a daily bath, the novelty might wear off. My bubble bath is a once a week thing.
Couple of years ago my gf and I dressed up in 50s outfits and borrowed the 57 chevy nomad from our workplace.she had a greaser look and I went with the poodle skirt outfit.....we just drove around downtown for awhile lol
Sage!! Wonderful video!! So inspiring and true. Great job bringing the 1950s back to life! You rock girlie!!!❤️❤️🧡💙💜💖
I love the vibe of this video! It
makes me so calm, this video is so aesthetically pleasing. 💛
Oh, how I wish I could snap my fingers and live this life! I’ve always said I was born in the wrong decade. Routine is so good for the soul, but I suppose it takes two, building it from the beginning.
I mean if you and your partner have the means I say go for it. Definitely would not agree that everyone likes routines though.
Its hardly practical these days. Back then you could survive off one income, today most people simply can't.
@@jaclyn4098 Isn't that a shame?? Worst injustice for families. My kids are grown; my fiance's kids are grown. Biggest hurdle is that we live off grid, and our house isn't finished out yet. No tub, no running water..everything in one room. I would love to be able to get up an hour or two before to ready things for the day. :-) Until then, I'll live vicariously through Sage.
Oh me too! Everyone says I should’ve been born in the 70’s🤣 peace and love man☮️✌🏽
Im pretty sure realistically you wouldnt wanna do that since you cant enjoy the positives of modern life especially since what this video shows is only a simplification of life back then
Just discovered your channel, Sage. You are precious & a breath of fresh air in these trying times. Have enjoyed your videos so much. 👍
I love your 1950 videos... I so enjoy watching them.. 1950 show so much love between husband and wife.. and how much we as women have to take care of our selves to look good.. I learn so much.. thank you
