We would roll our hair in big rollers, put on a bonnet that was attached to an hose which was attached to a big machine that blew hot air to dry your hair.
Ha! “ Windsong Stays on My Mind”…. Remember that ad?? Halo shampoo- “ Halo Everybody, Halo”! Why is it sooo much fun to remember these things?? Studies have said that smells are the most evocative to bring back memories… Thanks, Nanny!
Nanny, I absolutely love your nostalgic video. I remember almost everything you mentioned. I'm 75 and had 3 older sisters . Watching them and my mother was fun. My mom loved the bright red lipstick and her nail polish was called " Red Pepper" I painted her nails up until she passed. These memories are wonderful!! Thank you!!! ❤ Hugs
Oh, my goodness! Reading the comments have been a gold mine of memories, almost every one of them! Thank you so much, Nanny and also all of Nanny's viewers! My favorite memory is of going to a fancy french restaurant where I could actually wear stockings and my first garter belt under a party dress, when I turned 12. It was sheer heaven...thank you for helping us recall so many wonderful memories.
I remember the feminine pads that you had to use Kotex or napkin and you put the belt on then the napkin and if you wanted to wear nylons you had to add another belt to hold up the nylons. I hated them.
TABU perfume ❤ It is what I remember fondly of my mom! She died back in 1968 and to this day the only perfume I wear is TABU in remembrance and Im almost 70 now… what warms my heart though is anytime my kids, grandkids and great grandkids smell that fragrance … they say they think of me 😊 memories of almost 100 years 💕
They say that a scent is a very strong sense of remembering someone, my friend….i think of my mom every time someone walks by me with her perfume on.❤️
Those bristle brush wire curlers that you stuck a pink plastic pin to hold it still. Hurt so bad and sitting under those big dryers! What a fun memory lane of things💖
Mary Ellen! This was such an interesting walk down my personal memory lane, too! Only YOU would have had the idea to choose this path! Excellent! Heartwarming in every way! God bless us ALL!
Wonderful memories. My mother didn’t do makeup except for special occasions. She had a powder bowl from Avon that looked like a swan and had a lipstick holder on top. I still have it and after all these years I can still smell the powder. Moosie should do a video on what men did. That would be so sweet ❤❤❤
Tonette perms!! Jungle Gardenia!! Maybelline solid mascara with a small brush for application!! Garter belts!! Sanitary belts!! McCall’s & Simplicity patterns!! Miss Clairol hair color - I could go on & on!
At 81 I was right there with you Nanny. I used the mascara you mentioned maybeline in the red box. I was fancy at one point i had the rollers and the hairdryer in a box with a hose running to a plastic hat And yes I remember being trapped in a girdle OMGosh!!! I spent time trying to tone down my curls red curly hair. Orange juice cans from frozen OJ, clippies to keep them on. After that I did pincurls with bobbie pins. My neighbour gave me perms to try and help straighten my hair. Then one day while in High school a boy told me my hair was beautiful, well that solved that haha.I had taps on my shoes to help save the heel and toe area Got me in big trouble at school cause i made noise when I walked. I loved this walk down memory lane. Thank You.
My Mother used only Ponds Cold Cream for cleansing and moisturizing her face. She wore only lipstick 💄 and face powder only when going somewhere. She had beautiful skin her entire life ❤
Oh, I love the fact that you talk about so many different topics and I think just right amount of each. Learn so much and some of it is just makes for a real feel good moment. Please continue what you are doing the way you’re doing it!
Great video Nanny! I'm 72 and I remember straightening my natural curls (!) using empty juice cans as curlers and ironing my hair. Also used Noxema and my first boyfriend bought me Chantilly perfume for Christmas! I've been married to that boyfriend for 50 yrs now and just went online and found Chantilly perfume........think I'll order some and see if he remembers ❤❤Kathy from Pennsylvania 😊😊😊😊
Hi Kathy I also used to iron my natural curls and used empty baked bean cans as curlers.. also used to sit in the bath with my jeans on to shrink them. My poor Dad thought I was mad😂
What a great romantic nostalgic gesture, Kathy…I know he’ll respond the minute he gets a whiff of the scent. They say memories are tied into smells more than anything! Keep me posted!!❤️❤️
Oh, my gosh! Girdles...cruel and unusual punishment for all of us 😱 Remember the old chastisement, "Don't get your girdle in a rut"? That was no joke, as Nanny has pointed out.
Oh you make me smile!!! My nail technician didn't even know what i meant when i mentioned " moons" on my nails!!! Sweet memories of my Mom .... she wore hair combs... usually auburn colored to match her red hair!!! Today i wear hair combs in my hair.... usually in the hot summer weather! I love doing this in memory of my Mom ! It kind of is a 1940's look and i love it!!! Thanks Nanny for such a walk down memory lane!❤
Nanny, my mother curled my hair with rags to make banana curls. I remember Tabu perfume and I loved it. I know women who still wear it. How about spoolies to curl your hair and pin curls. Those were the days. ❤
Hi Nanny: Yes, Mum was my first deodorant..I still recall the scent. OMG, so many memories! Pond's cold cream (I still use it), Cutex lipsticks and nail polishes, Prell and Breck shampoo, Noxzema, Coty fragrances, Maybelline cake mascara/liner, Max Factor. I remember all the things you mentioned, too. Oh, the smelly Nair and perms, yuk! In the 60's, we even straightened our hair with an iron! Yardley of London products were big, too. The Vermont country store is wonderful! Though I'm never sure if the fragrances are still fresh. My mom used Evening in Paris, and, I loved it. The cherry almond smell of Jergen's lotion! TFS the wonderfully nostalgic memories...I think times were simpler and better. Hugs. Rosemarie ❤️
Nanny - great video!…what memories of what it was like to maintain our beauty standards! I was a bit chubby in the 60s and I did wear girdles and hooked my nylons with garden❤ clasps. What torture … as i would start to walk the friction between the legs would cause tiny holes. Through those holes a little inner thigh tissue would peep out and the more you walked the more irritated the flesh would get. I would have to apply Vaseline between my legs to help the pain….at the time my job at The Pentagon called me to walk miles every day….aghhhhh, the pain. And so the last of my girdle wearing days was at The Pentagon! I remember joking that if I walked any faster I could start a fire!❤
OMG Patricia…what agony that must have been! You are right! The beauty norms of the day were sometimes like a torture chamber..including sleeping on Steele curlers to avoid straight hair!❤️
My grandmother took one look at my straight stick hair and she told my Mom, “That child NEEDS a permanent “!!! Tonette and other brands, starting at 5!!!
Loved this video Nanny, related to so much…first I’m 85 so gives you an idea of when this was what I remember. My Mother loved Evening In Paris perfume and I loved Blue Grass. She used one of those small sliding boxes with the brush on her eyebrows. I remember green rubber hair curlers they were long with a slit in the middle that you put a lock of hair through, rolled it up then bent it together and hooked the ends together, I slept all night with my head covered with these. I also wore hot pants and a tan suede mini skirt with tan suede high boots that laced up the sides…have a photo of that outfit walking in an airport in San Francisco. Tube tops with very short shorts, playtex girdles at the same time you wore sanitary belts all day at work. I pinched my cheeks also and I do remember the half moon nail polish. Moosie is so cute and funny….love his input!!
Boy was this fun! I remembered all if these except the boiling your curlers! Did have my mother iron my hair in the 60's, when straight hair was "in"! I always think about the red box for mascara, I felt so grown up! ice blue eye shadow felt so cool with mascara around the time of Doby Gillis and the Beet niks!!Love to you two what a great life! harmless fun
🤣 I remember so many things that you were talking about. But, the girdle 😂 I laughed so hard because, I thought that I needed to wear one, at 80 pounds. You brought memories and so much laughter to me. Thank you for that. Oh, the memories. ❤
❤❤❤ My Moose and my Nanny! I so much enjoyed listening to your nostalgic stories about what was used in the olden days! You made me laugh out loud about your story of how your girdle rolled up to your waistline, I’m still smiling as I type in this comment. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for this trip down "Memory Lane". I was able to identify with so many of the trends you mentioned. Does anyone remember rolling their hair in juice cans to straighten it...60's/70's?
Oh my gosh Nanny! I am honoured that you mentioned me. I lughed throughout the video but the girdle story - HAHAHAHA!!! Yes...I remember that and how hot it could get. One of my favourite childhood memories is of our neighbourhood Avon lady giving me tiny little lipstick samples that were in small gold tubes. I would plaster it all over my lips and then wear my Mom's - too big for me - high heels to walk around the living room. Man...I thought it was great. 😆
I am 73 years old, and I did wear a girdle ,and I was a stick figure.....lol.....I remember most of the things you are talking about because I had 5 older sisters......plus my mother. Moose, your hair looked great......and I still use ponds to clean my face every day......thank you for this video. It was fun....
That was so good nanny, good job! I’m 62 so I don’t remember everything you mentioned, but I remember my mom doing a few, especially wearing the girdle. She was thin and did not need a girdle. We lived in South Florida. Can you imagine how hot it must’ve been in a girdle? She’s 88 and still lives alone. ❤Love you so much thanks for everything. You’re the best.
Oh coty😊 Lamont,I would buy that with my wages from my first job ,a cream ,it was what family always brought me for presents,years later I became sentative to perfume and never where any.❤
I completely forgot about that mascara. LOL. I remember using that stuff. Very messy. I think I remember perfumes more. Some were Ambush, White Shoulders, English Leather. I am sure there are more. I also remember buying cheap foundation that oxidized turning you orange. I still see women that look orange. In my college days, mini skirts were in, the shorter the better. My poor parents must have had heart failure when I left the house. LOL. Thanks for a fun video,
That mascarra in a red box brought back memories of my mom using that! When i was a teen with perspiration issues, i had to go to downtown Boston to Jordan Marsh or Filenes,to the cosmetic counter to buy Mitchum's deodorant-! Great video as always, Nannie! And Moosie has a great head of hair! Enjoy the rest of your week!❤
Hi from England. I used to be a beauty consultant for Helena Rubinstein in a large department store in London. Helena Rubinstein signature perfume was called Heaven Sent. I also had the curlers you had to boil😂 down memory lane watching your video today. On a gross note I remember people used to spit on the block mascara instead of wetting the brush 😩
My Mother used Tangee lipstick- it was very light and pretty. She had gone to beauty school and always wanted me to have curley hair-which I didn’t -so she would give me a "machine"perm. I did not like getting them because it took a long time and my neck would hurt. My Mother was beautiful and a lady. She passed away when she was 44-I’m now 87 and so wished I had gotten to know her as a friend as well as my Mother.
My mother uses silver clips to set waves in my hair when I was young along with a green gel that I forget the name of but I loved the scent and can imagine it as I write. If I complained about the clips, she would say "you have to suffer to be beautiful". Remembering some of those things from "back in the day", perhaps we did, lol!
With you & your listener's memory lane on steroids, my Mom's product experiences & growing up in the early 50's.....yes, I can relate! What a whirlwind! Thanks for the memories!
I'm 66. Youngest of 10. My mother was born in 1912. So finger waves and pin curls. I had the rag curls put in every Saturday night. My older siblings were born in the 30s. My middle siblings in the 40s. The tail end of us, were born in the 50s. So I saw every style you mentioned. Mum was the deodorant my mom used. The joke was, 'mums the word, so keep it under your arms.' 😂 Love you 2❣️ God bless you and yours!
Nanny thank you for the walk down memory lane. I will turn 71 during the month of August. I remember Tussy deodorant during my adolescence days. Mum is an older brand. Tussy came out in , I believe, 1925.
I remember most of these things. My Mom used the cake mascara with the little brush. I used to wear Wind Song. I wear White Shoulders now. For my wedding in 1975, I wore L Air Du Temps. Oh, those girdles were awful, then having to wear a belt for the sanitary pads and a belt for the nylons. I had one pair of hot pants but I only wore them a couple of times because I was self conscious in them, but I did wear mini skirts. I used those bristle hair rollers. Painful. I was so happy when hot rollers came out. Thanks for the memories.
I remember Nair. Sleeping in curlers sure was a no no for me, did it for many years and pulled out a lot of hair. My mom had beautiful skin and she always used Ponds cream to remove her makeup. I remember that mascara in the box with a brush. And now they call rouge blush. There was also a lipstick brush I bought in the 5 & 10. The brush came out of a little plastic cover you pushed a button on the end and turned it upside down to let out the brush and then retracted it when you were done. I still have it, but I was in a hurry and would tap it down to make the brush come out and cracked it. Mine is pink, don't know why I've kept it all these years. Just liked it a lot. You made a maxi coat, you are so talented. I was under 110 lbs back in the day and never wore a girdle either. Die from a "playtex girdle", you are hilarious. We love you too Nanny and Moose.
All my maternal relatives used Coty’s Lily of the Valley!! Getting ready for Sunday Mass, we ALWAYS had sprays of it!! One of my aunts wore April Showers.💖💖💖
What a trip down memory lane! I remember all of these things! That either my mother, or that I wore. I’m 65. My mother wore a perfume called Silent Night, by Countess Maritza. I can still smell it. They stopped making it years ago. Mum deodorant, Breck Shampoo, and that Maybelline cake mascara in the red box. The rag curlers, the girdles… omg they were torture. But God forbid you go out with a flabby tummy. We were all 100 lbs, no flab anywhere. 😂 Oh how about the white gloves? VO5! That greasy stuff in a tube that we put in our hair…. Why??? 😂😂😂 what fun it is to remember all of these long forgotten things. “ I can’t seem to forget you, your Windsong stays on my mind.” Omg I even remember the jingle. Thanks for the memories. 😊
You Triggered a lot of Fabulous Memories Nanny. Growing up in Glasgow in the 60’s, my Mother and her Sister’s Never used Roller’s you could ‘Boil in Water’ 😂. Plenty Rollers and Headscarves. Toni Perms and Home Hair Dyes. Back Combing and Ton’s of Lacquer! Silk Stockings kept in an Empty jam jar, in my Aunt’s drawer, just in case they got ‘Snagged’. My sister and myself as kid’s, getting those Home Perm’s also. Yes, I too can still smell that pungent pong. Max Factor Pan-Stick Make Up. Block Mascara. Small Pot of French Rouge. Goya Perfume. Pond’s Cold Cream. I used to look up at Them All in Awe. Great Day’s. Love and God Bless, Cathy xxx🏴
Love going down memory lane at 87. Had long hair and braids till 8th grade when it was cut and permed. When very young, Mother did not use rags on hair for curls. Instead she would heat a curling iron over a stove flame and make individual curls. What I remember is the hair being yanked and the smell of singed hair. In high school, the hair was curled nightly with pin curls.......wrapping the hair around ur finger and then anchoring it with a bobby pin. I do remember the mascara well. I was not allowed to wear lipstick or date till I was 16. There was a lipstick called "natural" that I could wear since it didnt have any distinctive color. Thank goodness the days of rubber girdles and other contraptions we used are gone. I no longer wear a bra as I had a double masectomy and my hair is now buzzed. So at this stage of life, I'm totally enjoying both of those freedoms.
I used the Maybelline cake mascara in the little red box too. I to this day heat my rollers in boiling water to set my hair. I also use Nivia cream every day. I have tried other things and always go back to Nivia. My favorite cologne was Evening In Paris.
What a sweet nostalgic video on cosmetics! Nanny, you are the best! I so remember the Jergens Lotion sitting on my grandmothers cosmetic table! It smelled so delicious! The new dry shampoo sounds wonderful! Thank you for mentioning! Love to both of you🌸🌼🌺
Mary Ellen you bring so Much joy fun and much laughter to us ‘oldies’ and I’m sure to the younger brigade as well!!! This latest video has had me ( and by the look of the comments) many others a wonderful trip down memory lane 😀 There is so much to comment about that bought back those long ago occasions .. my straight hair being tied in the rags my mother lovingly tied up for a special occasion , transforming my straight hair into a massive of ‘ringlets’!! We also had ‘tongs’ which were heated on the element and twirled around to enhance the look!!! Evening in Paris perfume , 4711 , Charlie , my mother’s signature perfume Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass…. We still have a beautiful wooden coat that she wore and in one of the pockets my son put her half fill last bottle 🥰 I can remember the cosmetic Cyclax , I recall announcing when I was all of 13 that my desire for a career would be to work on the Cyclax counter at one of our department stores . The compelling reason being not only did the assistants look so beautiful with flawless skin but they wore over their crisp white uniforms a purple cape with brass buttons!! My auntie always had Cyclax Milk of Roses crème lotion which I use to love smelling every time I visited. It was many years later that she bought me a little jar of it and to this day I can still recall the fragrance!! Oh dear so much comes to Mind , however I’ll leave you with your memory of girdles…. I had bought a fancy latest pull on Playtex with sort of zebra stripes and wore then with my ‘going away’ outfit after my wedding.We flew to a beautiful secluded part of Golden Bay Area in Nelson. (NZ) with the day being very warm we went to go for a swim BUT could I peel off the darn girdle , I could not get my fingers under the waist to pull them off no matter how hard I tried ! I ended up pulling the removable suspenders off and went swimming in them only to return to the problem later !!! Much to my embarrassment while prone on the bathroom floor I had to enlist my newly married husband to assist . .. two dessert spoons were his answer ( like removing a tyre from a bicycle!) !! What a romantic 💕 episode I don’t think!!! I hasten to add that the outline of the stripes stayed on my stomach for a week!!! Many thanks to you both for the fun you bring to us all. Much love from across the Pacific xx🎉 ,
Oh, G, my friend…your wonderful memories of back-in-the day were so fun to read….but your honeymoon episode with that darn playtex girdle was hilarious…however embarrassing it must have been!!! Thanks so much for sharing, G..❤️
I remember my mother using the strips of fabric to curl my hair, Shirley Temple curls until she ran the comb through them. Good Memories of yesteryear ❤
We also had spoolies -round curlers. My grandmother curled our hair by wrapping our hair around fabric strips - rolling the locks and tying them. Also she had a curling iron that was heated on the wood stove😊
Did anyone else put clear nail polish to stop a run in your pantyhose?
Yes me & my friends did.😂
Yes I did! I totally forgot about that fix for stopping a run in my stockings.
I did, too,Pat…I forgot all about that!❤️
My girlfriends and I did too!
I did!
Who remembers Dippity Do for your hair? Tickle deodorant..and Charlie perfume. Don't forget the pantyhose that came in the eggs..L'eggs!
I still miss Dippety Do and Charlie! ♥️🙏
I still miss Dippity Do...I had forgotten all about it and Noxema for my complexion every night! :)
@@jeaniemiller1929 I loved Noxema! I bought some recently on Amazon, but it's not the same.
So glad when the garter belts and girdles went out the window-😂🎉
Girdles, garter belts & nylons - oh my, I wore them all & felt very feminine!
Avon Lipstick samples. Remember those tiny, tiny samples? My mom would give the ones she didn’t like for play make up.
I remember those samples... and the eyeshadow that stacked together
OMG, I loved those tiny lipstick samples from Avon!
We would roll our hair in big rollers, put on a bonnet that was attached to an hose which was attached to a big machine that blew hot air to dry your hair.
Ha! “ Windsong Stays on My Mind”…. Remember that ad?? Halo shampoo- “ Halo Everybody, Halo”!
Why is it sooo much fun to remember these things??
Studies have said that smells are the most evocative to bring back memories…
Thanks, Nanny!
I used to set my hair every night into pin curls with bobby pins!

I hated the belts you had to wear with the pads. You could always see the outline on your pants.
You stirred up my wonderful childhood memories of Evening in Paris & Jungle Gardenia perfumes!

TABU was my mom's favorite! I still have her old bottle that I have for sentimental reasons. She passed on Feb, 2001. Thanks for that memory! :)
I just love listening to you. Thank you for sharing your memories. 😊❤

Isn’t this fun, Annette?❤️
I remember my mom wore Sanitary belts, so glad they improved the pads to the sticky type.
So funny our beloved Mousey, he has a nice head of hair, love the natural curl. Hugs and kisses.
And those mattresses after child birth! And those belts… wow
Oh those sanitary belts, weren't they AWFUL?!
Nanny you look gorgeous in that beautiful shirt and matching jewelry!
"Halo" shampoo! I would give anything to relive that smell again. "You can always tell a Halo girl."
Halo shampoo halo ❤️❤️❤️

🤣 I remember so many things that you were talking about. But, the girdle 😂 I laughed so hard because, I thought that I needed to wear one, at 80 pounds. You brought memories and so much laughter to me. Thank you for that. Oh, the memories. ❤
Oh those rag ringlet curls!. I'm 69 and my mom used them on my hair. 4th grade school picture-ugh! Lol.
I love the memories, I like you did them all… amazing looking back at what we fell in line with to look good. Thanks for memory lane Nanny . ❤
Also, my aunt wore White Shoulders perfume.
You make my days happy
Omg I was laughing out loud when you talked about the playtex rubber girdle! Thanks for these funny memories! ❤
❤❤❤ My Moose and my Nanny! I so much enjoyed listening to your nostalgic stories about what was used in the olden days! You made me laugh out loud about your story of how your girdle rolled up to your waistline, I’m still smiling as I type in this comment. ❤❤❤
Thank you, Nanny just brought some fond memories back
Thanks so much for this trip down "Memory Lane". I was able to identify with so many of the trends you mentioned. Does anyone remember rolling their hair in juice cans to straighten it...60's/70's?
Oh my gosh Nanny! I am honoured that you mentioned me. I lughed throughout the video but the girdle story - HAHAHAHA!!! Yes...I remember that and how hot it could get. One of my favourite childhood memories is of our neighbourhood Avon lady giving me tiny little lipstick samples that were in small gold tubes. I would plaster it all over my lips and then wear my Mom's - too big for me - high heels to walk around the living room. Man...I thought it was great. 😆
Fun memories,weren’t they,Aline?❤️
We love your bright summer wear. Love the memories, thanks for the nostalgia . Love to you and the Moose!
I am 73 years old, and I did wear a girdle ,and I was a stick figure.....lol.....I remember most of the things you are talking about because I had 5 older sisters......plus my mother. Moose, your hair looked great......and I still use ponds to clean my face every day......thank you for this video. It was fun....
That was so good nanny, good job! I’m 62 so I don’t remember everything you mentioned, but I remember my mom doing a few, especially wearing the girdle. She was thin and did not need a girdle.
We lived in South Florida. Can you imagine how hot it must’ve been in a girdle? She’s 88 and still lives alone. ❤Love you so much thanks for everything. You’re the best.
Oh coty😊 Lamont,I would buy that with my wages from my first job ,a cream ,it was what family always brought me for presents,years later I became sentative to perfume and never where any.❤
I completely forgot about that mascara. LOL. I remember using that stuff. Very messy. I think I remember perfumes more. Some were Ambush, White Shoulders, English Leather. I am sure there are more. I also remember buying cheap foundation that oxidized turning you orange. I still see women that look orange. In my college days, mini skirts were in, the shorter the better. My poor parents must have had heart failure when I left the house. LOL. Thanks for a fun video,
This was a delightful video. I remember most of theses. Thank you💄
That mascarra in a red box brought back memories of my mom using that!
When i was a teen with perspiration issues, i had to go to downtown Boston to Jordan Marsh or Filenes,to the cosmetic counter to buy Mitchum's deodorant-!
Great video as always, Nannie! And Moosie has a great head of hair!
Enjoy the rest of your week!❤
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜Love you and Moosey and your channel!!!
😂
Hi Nanny, thank you for your video! Love it!! Ecusson was made by Jean D’Albret.😘
My mother used MaryKay! And today I'm an MK consultant! We both still love it♥️
In the 70’s I loved “GEE YOUR HAIR SMELLS TERRIFIC “ shampoo 😊
Yes!!❤️
Loved this video. ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, EsteLauder was a big one and my sister just loved “ White Shoulders”. FUN remembering back Nanny! Thank you❤️❤️🥰
My first favorite was White Shoulders!
My mother loved EsteLauder perfume. I still can smell it when I think of her!
Hi from England. I used to be a beauty consultant for Helena Rubinstein in a large department store in London. Helena Rubinstein signature perfume was called Heaven Sent. I also had the curlers you had to boil😂 down memory lane watching your video today. On a gross note I remember people used to spit on the block mascara instead of wetting the brush 😩
Yes, Lynda….❤️
My Mother used Tangee lipstick- it was very light and pretty. She had gone to beauty school and always wanted me to have curley hair-which I didn’t -so she would give me a "machine"perm. I did not like getting them because it took a long time and my neck would hurt. My Mother was beautiful and a lady. She passed away when she was 44-I’m now 87 and so wished I had gotten to know her as a friend as well as my Mother.
I am so sorry you lost your mom at such a young age, Patsy…❤️
Loved this trip down memory lane.
This was just a wonderful walk down memory lane Nanny. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Mum cream deodorant was the best deodorant ever made!!!! Wish they still made it.
My mother uses silver clips to set waves in my hair when I was young along with a green gel that I forget the name of but I loved the scent and can imagine it as I write. If I complained about the clips, she would say "you have to suffer to be beautiful". Remembering some of those things from "back in the day", perhaps we did, lol!
With you & your listener's memory lane on steroids, my Mom's product experiences & growing up in the early 50's.....yes, I can relate! What a whirlwind!
Thanks for the memories!
Your eye makeup looks really pretty💕
I'm 66. Youngest of 10. My mother was born in 1912. So finger waves and pin curls. I had the rag curls put in every Saturday night. My older siblings were born in the 30s. My middle siblings in the 40s. The tail end of us, were born in the 50s. So I saw every style you mentioned. Mum was the deodorant my mom used. The joke was, 'mums the word, so keep it under your arms.' 😂
Love you 2❣️ God bless you and yours!
Thanks for sharing your fun big family memories,Colleen..❤️
Nanny thank you for the walk down memory lane. I will turn 71 during the month of August. I remember Tussy deodorant during my adolescence days. Mum is an older brand. Tussy came out in , I believe, 1925.
I remember most of these things. My Mom used the cake mascara with the little brush. I used to wear Wind Song. I wear White Shoulders now. For my wedding in 1975, I wore L Air Du Temps.
Oh, those girdles were awful, then having to wear a belt for the sanitary pads and a belt for the nylons.
I had one pair of hot pants but I only wore them a couple of times because I was self conscious in them, but I did wear mini skirts.
I used those bristle hair rollers. Painful. I was so happy when hot rollers came out.
Thanks for the memories.
I remember Nair. Sleeping in curlers sure was a no no for me, did it for many years and pulled out a lot of hair. My mom had beautiful skin and she always used Ponds cream to remove her makeup. I remember that mascara in the box with a brush. And now they call rouge blush. There was also a lipstick brush I bought in the 5 & 10. The brush came out of a little plastic cover you pushed a button on the end and turned it upside down to let out the brush and then retracted it when you were done. I still have it, but I was in a hurry and would tap it down to make the brush come out and cracked it. Mine is pink, don't know why I've kept it all these years. Just liked it a lot. You made a maxi coat, you are so talented. I was under 110 lbs back in the day and never wore a girdle either. Die from a "playtex girdle", you are hilarious. We love you too Nanny and Moose.
All my maternal relatives used Coty’s Lily of the Valley!! Getting ready for Sunday Mass, we ALWAYS had sprays of it!! One of my aunts wore April Showers.💖💖💖
What a trip down memory lane! I remember all of these things! That either my mother, or that I wore. I’m 65. My mother wore a perfume called Silent Night, by Countess Maritza. I can still smell it. They stopped making it years ago. Mum deodorant, Breck Shampoo, and that Maybelline cake mascara in the red box. The rag curlers, the girdles… omg they were torture. But God forbid you go out with a flabby tummy. We were all 100 lbs, no flab anywhere. 😂 Oh how about the white gloves? VO5! That greasy stuff in a tube that we put in our hair…. Why??? 😂😂😂 what fun it is to remember all of these long forgotten things. “ I can’t seem to forget you, your Windsong stays on my mind.” Omg I even remember the jingle. Thanks for the memories. 😊
Thank, Joyce, for putting it all together for us….how fun!❤️
Yep my first was Mum and I remember my first tooth paste was Dr Lions it was a powder ,wow that was Long ago 😊 I agree with the haircut ❤
I do remember the little red box of mascara!😊
I really feel ancient now, all the memories of my high school days came to mind. Thanks for the memories.😊
You Triggered a lot of Fabulous Memories Nanny.

Loving your mom keeping her stockings in a jam jar to prevent ‘snagging’ ,Cathy…love and hugs,❤️
Love going down memory lane at 87. Had long hair and braids till 8th grade when it was cut and permed. When very young, Mother did not use rags on hair for curls. Instead she would heat a curling iron over a stove flame and make individual curls. What I remember is the hair being yanked and the smell of singed hair. In high school, the hair was curled nightly with pin curls.......wrapping the hair around ur finger and then anchoring it with a bobby pin. I do remember the mascara well. I was not allowed to wear lipstick or date till I was 16. There was a lipstick called "natural" that I could wear since it didnt have any distinctive color. Thank goodness the days of rubber girdles and other contraptions we used are gone. I no longer wear a bra as I had a double masectomy and my hair is now buzzed. So at this stage of life, I'm totally enjoying both of those freedoms.
Great stories, Dolores…yes…the Beauty Norms of the day were sometimes torture, strict and time consuming!❤️
I used the Maybelline cake mascara in the little red box too. I to this day heat my rollers in boiling water to set my hair. I also use Nivia cream every day. I have tried other things and always go back to Nivia. My favorite cologne was Evening In Paris.
Nannie, your hair, makeup and outfit is very pretty today. Loved the video.
Hi from Annie those were the good old days
Anyone from CA remember Tiki hair spray yellow/ red can with Spanish dancer on can. Smelled soooo good. 1960’s
What a sweet nostalgic video on cosmetics! Nanny, you are the best! I so remember the Jergens Lotion sitting on my grandmothers cosmetic table! It smelled so delicious! The new dry shampoo sounds wonderful! Thank you for mentioning! Love to both of you🌸🌼🌺
I loved it all..took me back..and wow Moosy has beautiful hair.
Mary Ellen you bring so
Much joy fun and much laughter to us ‘oldies’ and I’m sure to the younger brigade as well!!!
This latest video has had me ( and by the look of the comments) many others a wonderful trip down memory lane 😀
There is so much to comment about that bought back those long ago occasions .. my straight hair being tied in the rags my mother lovingly tied up for a special occasion , transforming my straight hair into a massive of ‘ringlets’!! We also had ‘tongs’ which were heated on the element and twirled around to enhance the look!!!
Evening in Paris perfume , 4711 , Charlie , my mother’s signature perfume Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass…. We still have a beautiful wooden coat that she wore and in one of the pockets my son put her half fill last bottle 🥰
I can remember the cosmetic Cyclax , I recall announcing when I was all of 13 that my desire for a career would be to work on the Cyclax counter at one of our department stores . The compelling reason being not only did the assistants look so beautiful with flawless skin but they wore over their crisp white uniforms a purple cape with brass buttons!! My auntie always had Cyclax Milk of Roses crème lotion which I use to love smelling every time I visited. It was many years later that she bought me a little jar of it and to this day I can still recall the fragrance!!
Oh dear so much comes to
Mind , however I’ll leave you with your memory of girdles…. I had bought a fancy latest pull on Playtex with sort of zebra stripes and wore then with my ‘going away’ outfit after my wedding.We flew to a beautiful secluded part of Golden Bay Area in Nelson. (NZ) with the day being very warm we went to go for a swim BUT could I peel off the darn girdle , I could not get my fingers under the waist to pull them off no matter how hard I tried ! I ended up pulling the removable suspenders off and went swimming in them only to return to the problem later !!!
Much to my embarrassment while prone on the bathroom floor I had to enlist my newly married husband to assist . .. two dessert spoons were his answer ( like removing a tyre from a bicycle!) !!
What a romantic 💕 episode I don’t think!!! I hasten to add that the outline of the stripes stayed on my stomach for a week!!!
Many thanks to you both for the fun you bring to us all. Much love from across the Pacific xx🎉
,
Oh, G, my friend…your wonderful memories of back-in-the day were so fun to read….but your honeymoon episode with that darn playtex girdle was hilarious…however embarrassing it must have been!!! Thanks so much for sharing, G..❤️
Some great, and not so great (girdle one!) memories of times gone by. Love your top, so bright and cheery. x
I remember my mother using the strips of fabric to curl my hair, Shirley Temple curls until she ran the comb through them. Good Memories of yesteryear ❤
We also had spoolies -round curlers. My grandmother curled our hair by wrapping our hair around fabric strips - rolling the locks and tying them. Also she had a curling iron that was heated on the wood stove😊
I remember those, too, Kathleen…❤️
I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!@🎉
