Cora's Blissfully Natural Products: 2009

Our Story

Cora's Blissfully Natural Products LLC
We are a Mother Daughter Team
This is Our Story!
Our becoming soap makers were out of need; My Daughter has very dry skin and rashes Caused by persistent low blood sugars due to a genetic mutation of the pancreas. We tried every soap, lotion, and cream. Nothing seem to work not even prescription types.

INSPIRATION!
In November of 2006 My Daughter was trying to figure out what to do for Her Heritage 4-H project. She started reading this book; (Once Upon a Time The way America was: by Eric Sloane). While studying History. (In this book Mr. Sloane states " what a bore life has become!") When we want water, electricity, food, or clothes; we couldn't care less where these things come from.

THE JOURNEY BEGINS!
After reading what the true American Heritage is; we talked it over and my Daughter decided to take the adventure of a lifetime. She was going to live like the early pioneer's. Sounds like this might be easy to do; but it's not. I turned off the TV, and started getting Her up earlier in the morning so that she could get all her chores done before school. She had to get up and clean her room, go out and water and feed her 4-H steers and work on three Heritage projects. The project were to make a quilt, to research her family tree, and learn to make soap. As for her quilt it was made to fit a full size bed. I did allow her to use the sewing machine to sew the quilt top, but she used her Great Grandmothers quilting rack to put the quilt together and tie it. The family history she used the computer to do the research; (hey have you noticed that so far she hasn't given up electricity yet.) The history she used to make a living history quilt. She printed the names of the male side of the family on to fabric to make the squares for her quilt. (The pioneer women would of hand stitched the each name); all the sewing was done in the day light hours it took her seven months to complete the quilt. To display the computer printout of the family trees she made home made paper and covered it with fabric left over from her quilt; (this too was done in day light hour only (pioneers did not have electricity). While doing all her chores and projects as close to how a pioneer might; she was learning to make soap.

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES!
It is now Winter
Where we live winters very from year to year. The winter of 2006-2007 turned out to be very cold with temperatures below zero, high winds, and snows.
Life as a pioneer is hard. Even in below zero weather and the wind making it even colder. She still had to go out feed and water her steers. Every morning she had to break the ice in the water buckets (pioneers did not have heated water troth's) nor did she; but we did have frost free water lines. That did not mean anything that year the wind chill even froze them up. The day are now shorter and less day light meant fewer hours to do all her chores, school and projects.
To make soap she first had to learn how the pioneers made it. The pioneers usually made it in the fall of the year during butchering time when there was as excess of fat. If they were lucky they were getting a little rain. If not they would use dishwater. The pioneer woman made her own lye from fireplace ash, and test it by floating an egg.
In 2006-2007 there is melt and pour, rebatching and from scratch soap. In 4-H you must learn all the ways to make soap. (So she did). Made a lot of soap! So much soap she really did not know what to do with it all. Then one day I said while looking at all that soap" 4-H is not just making something to show at Fair time, it is about taking what you have learned and putting it to work. That was two weeks before Christmas 2006. We put the soap in cute baskets and loaded them in the car, and set out to see if any friends and family might buy her soap. That day she sold it all, with orders for more.

By the spring of 2007 she had created her own line of products. Sold them to friends, family and anyone who wanted additive and preservative free personal care products. WE have been hard at work, school, and play from that day on.

When She started her pioneer adventure it was to experience life as close to that of those who built this country. What she learned is that as a child in the year 2006.She spent to much time in front of the Television, she was wasteful, that she expected everything to be given to her, and that she was pretty lazy.

After her adventure ended in June of 2007 she learned that she was quite capable of doing anything she set her mind too. She learned that hard work won't kill you in fact it feels good. Most of all found the true American Heritage.
Our American Heritage is
Spirit, Hard Work, and To Be Frugal

All Our soaps are made from scratch in small batches. The goats milk is whole milk right from the goat its self. The rose hip in our oil grows wild on our small farm, and so does the lavender that might be in some of our products. All the oils used in our products are vegetable and of food quality. NO animal testing. All testing is done on friends and family.

What you Might Not Know about Your Personal care Products
Please Read this

Back when Cora’s Blissfully Natural Products was a 4-H project; She had to do research on what was in our own personal care products. This is some of what she found. Needless to say we never used them again.

The Information below was used for Cora’s 4-H Oral Presentation that year.

POPULAR BUZZ WORDS.
Although there are many popular buzzwords in the market place today here are three; Pure, Natural, Non-Toxic.
The very name makes these words sound like the product should be healthy for you, right? That’s the deception. . Let’s discuss the three words mentioned above one at a time.
Pure.
The dictionary’s definition of Pure is “unmixed or unpolluted”. “Absolute”.
The Cosmetic Industry’s definition of Pure is any product containing any ingredient or portion thereof that could be traced back to a pure or original origin. In other words, if there is a “trace” of something
original in there, you can call the whole product pure. I hardly think this makes the product “unpolluted” or “absolute”.
Natural:
The dictionary’s definition of Natural is: “Pertaining to, in accordance with, or determined by, nature; Being or found in its native state”. “Not artificial”.
According to the Cosmetic Industry, you can proudly display the “natural” label if at least 5% of the ingredients are derived from a natural source. This means that you could have one ingredient that has a minimum of 5% of that ingredient that has come from a natural source and that is enough to meet the labeling requirements to call the entire product “Natural”. That means your product could be 5% natural and 95% artificial and still be called “natural”.
Webster’s Dictionary defines Non Toxic as: “not producing or resulting from poison”.
The cosmetic industry gives this definition: “If no more than 49% of all laboratory animals that the product is tested on die, then you can call the product Non Toxic.” That means that the product could be 48.9% likely to kill you. I don’t know about you, but I’m not willing to take those odds. That is a rather risky gamble with your health.

To further complicate the issue, we have no real hope for relief from the manufacturers’. Here is the reason why. The cosmetic/personal care industry is self regulating. That means, the only ones that are looking out for the consumer is the manufacturer of the product.

DID YOU KNOW... Recently a thousand people had to be evacuated from their homes, By order of OSHA because a factory near their homes had a one-gallon spill of a hazadorous chemical. This ingredient is used in hair shampoo!!!!

This is just the beginning of the list of chemicals to avoid in products you use daily:
1. Cocoamide DEA, diethanolamine, TEA, triethanolamine, MEA
2. Propylene glycol, propylene oxide, polyethylene glycol
3. Sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate
4. Sodium Fluoride
5. Mineral Oil , Petrolatum and Coal Tar
Q. What is DEA?
A. - DEA is diethanolamine, a chemical that is used as a wetting agent in shampoos, lotions, creams and other cosmetics. DEA is used widely because it provides a rich lather in shampoos and keeps a favorable consistency in lotions and creams. DEA by itself is not harmful but while sitting on the stores shelves or in your cabinet at home, DEA can react with other ingredients in the cosmetic formula to form an extremely potent carcinogen called nitrosodiethanolamine (NDEA). NDEA is readily absorbed through the skin and has been linked with stomach, esophagus, liver and bladder cancers.
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
TEA
diethanolamine.htm", TEA (Triethanolamine). DEA and TEA can result in the formation of carcinogens in products containing nitrite preservatives. Chemical reactions between nitrites and DEA/ TEA occur during the manufacturing process and while products are stored in their containers. This reaction leads to the formation of nitrosamines. Most nitrosamines, including those formed from DEA or TEA, are carcinogenic.
PEG
The Industrial World USES Propylene Glycol (PG) and Polyethylene glycol (PEG): Industrial Antifreeze, Brake/Hydraulic Fluid, Paint, Airplane De-Icer. These chemicals have been found to cause adverse health effects: contact dermatitis, kidney damage and liver abnormalities; Inhibit skin cell growth in human tests; Damage cell membranes causing rashes, dry skin and surface damage to the skin.

SLS
Sodium Lauryl (or Laureth) Sulfate: Engine Degreaser, Garage/Concrete Floor Cleaner, Car Wash Soap; Surrounds hair follicle in shampoo to keep it from growing, causes hair to fall out; keeps children's eyes from developing properly, causes cataracts in older people; In Toothpaste: Weakens enamel on teeth to cause cavities: SLS is very abrasive and may burn the skin, mouth, Canker sores, or scalp. Products commonly found to contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or SLES
Soaps
Shampoos
Bubble-baths
Tooth paste
Washing-up liquid / dish soap
Laundry detergent
Children's soaps / shampoos
Stain Remover
Carpet Cleaner
Fabric glue
Body wash
Shave cream
Mascara
Mouthwash
Skin cleanser
Moisture lotion / Moisturizer
Sun Cream

Don’t believe this take a look for your self.

Just Thinking Out Loud

I am a Baby Boomer! What that means is that I was born in the 1950’s and was a child of the 1960’s and was married in the 1970’s.

Some may say so what!

I guess what I am trying to say has part of the Baby Boomer generation we have seen our country grow in ways that most take for granted.

I can remember working for less than one dollar per hour and thought that when minimum wage went to a dollar sixty-five an hour I was raking in the dough. How many or you can still remember that? Gas was fifty cents a gallon and you could still change the spark plugs in your car yourself.

Then The Seventy’s hit and the button fell out of the job market. Lady’s that is right after we burn our bra’s and enter the job market in a large way, and before there were computers.

ANY WAY SO MUCH FOR THE TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE!

Basically what I am saying is that we as Boomers have lived through times like these before.
From what I can remember is that we as Americas took back what was are in the Seventy’s and started buying only American made. When we did this it created jobs here in our country. If we did it once we American’s can do it again!

Look at the labels in all your clothing for the made in America.
All your Fruits, Vegetables, and Meat products are labeled with the Country of Origin buy only grown in America.

If we create a demand for American made and grown products all the manufacturing plants will have to reopen here.

What do you say America shall we pick ourselves up brush ourselves off and create a demand for our products made and grown in our Country; and start to grow again?

Scrool the pictures to the right...there are 6 of them.BLUES, REDS, PINKS & GREENS...all these colors "jump" around in this ring. ALL NATURAL...AND LARGE !

This is a coin pearl set in a sterling silver bezel. A cultured, freshwater pearl. The ring is made of 18ga., round, sterling silver wire.

Size is ....call it 6.75. It is between 6.5 & 7. I can size it or MAKE ONE YOUR SIZE from the pearls you see in pictures. They are beads. I just could not resist setting in a ring. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL...GLOW LIKE GOBBER PEDDY OPAL ! Neon blue from one angle and red or pink from another angle. Different in everyroom...every light.

Not easy to catch the color play in these pearls. You can look at the strand and see they different from different sides. That is a well matched strand...but they all look different. Anyway...your not super happy you can send it back...I will pay the shipping both ways...get all that hard earned money back.

Inspiration / Story behind this Product:

The overtones in this pearl are just awsome..it HAD to be in a ring. I make everything in my studio from flat, sterling sheets and round wire...thats all I buy. Everything is fabricated from those 2 items.

Not Yours to Give

Small town Newspapers are great when you live in the town or when you live just a town away.
These newspapers never make the main stream headlines. In a small town free newspaper you can expect to find sections like: Laugh a little, Entertainment, Fish and Game, Business News, Mir’s Corner/ Ag news, Military and Veterans news. All of which are about thing that are happening with in that area for which the Newspaper is printed.
But every once in a while there is an article that should be read by everyone in the USA. The Title is (Not yours To Give - We The American People Have The Say.) Please read at least the first 7 paragraphs before you make up your mind about this article.

Something Nice happened Today

Sometimes People do nice thing for others; just for niceness sake. That is what happened today.

We went to the Black Cat Pellet mill to get grain for Cora's steer and -Butch Stolzman gave us a picture of horses in this beautiful barn wood frame. The reason he did this was heart warming. and touched my heart.

So I thought I would pay it forward and tell you about Butch's Photo's, better yet I will let him tell you.

Butch Stolzman; "I was born and raised in the state of Wisconsin and have always enjoyed the outdoors. As a boy and young man, I loved to hunt, but as the years progressed my love of hunting with a camera surpassed my love of gun hunting. We moved to Idaho in the year 1982 and since then my guns have remained in the rack but my camera has remained by my side. I still love to hunt but now I hunt for just the right shot with my cameras. I have taken pictures for the last 40 years and have loved every minute of it. As you will see on this web site, my main interests are wildlife, landscape scenery, and old barns."

Something Happened at the Craft Show

We did a craft show this last weekend, it was not one of our best; we just broke even. We had a great time it was our first of the season, and it was great to see all our friends and all their new Items.

What happened was something that has been a goal of ours from the beginning. We not only wanted the Lady's to love and buy our products but also the Men.

It happened; all our customers but one were Men.

Lady's move over because the men are coming on board, they too are thinking about what is in their personal care products and thinking about their health.

Springtime

These boots or slippers are great for babies aged from 1 month old right through to several years old. These ones are made from a 100% wool. The main boot colour is a gorgeous pale pink. I have trimmed the boot with a contrasting grape purple and made thick laces that you can tie in a double knot if you need to.

I am a stay at home Mum with three children. I love to spend my spare time sewing and knitting and making things. I list different things all the time as I really enjoy a little variety so keep an eye on my shop.

Irene is new to Art Fire, and one of my very good friends.

Handmade Elvis tote bag with inside picture pockets and bright teal blue lining. Has re-enforced shoulder straps and is rhinestone studded for shiny effect. Would be a very nice gift for the Elvis fan in your life or just to use your self. Machine washable on delicate and turn wrong side out to dry in dryer on low heat setting.

Hello. My name is Irene, and about 9 years ago I began a quest to teach myself to crochet. I learned mostly online and by getting half way through a project, only to realize that I had to take it all out and start all over again! Even though knitting drives me insane, I love the look and feel of it, so I do knit some things. I have also tried to work that knitted look into some of my crocheted items. I enjoy using very soft and cuddly specialty yarns in creating my one of a kind heirloom styles.

NORTH OF BLISS

This is the kinda of place you miss
even when you're looking for it.
All by itself, the eye can't find it.
You have to stumble upon it,
and when you have,
you take in all it is:
rock,sage,cheatgrass,and wildflowers
a half dozen canyons,
magpies, hawks, and horned larks,
a thin stream
that every thing comes down to
eventually,
and wind that talks a mile a minute, and snakes that rattle
like the inside of your head
is filling with sand,
and dinosaurs sleeping beneath the hill,
their backs arched against the ridge
and things grow so even...
the grass, short as beard stubble,
pierces the sky
without lifting a blade,
and stones, to young to open their eyes,
lie among themselves snoring--
while you squat
threading an eye through
the silent needle of time

Cora's Blissfully Natural Oil - How it Came to B

Cora is an amazing person and sometime I just have to turn her loose to do her own thing. Well on one of those free to be Cora days she was working with the oils, mixing this and mixing that just experimenting as she sometimes does. When I walked in and ask what are you making and she answered; just making something for my face, arms and legs. I thought OK! Now we have oil on the counter again. When she was done I ask how are you going to preserve it? So she goes online while I am doing some paper work and comes up with rose hips and explains it all to me; on how rose hips if full of vitamin C, and that it was used in the old days as a preservative . I think OK lets put in a bottle and send it out to our test friends and family. Two or three weeks passed, nothing. Then one day one of the friends called and asks if I had tried the oil, I said no. Cora uses it but I haven’t tried it. She said this is the greatest oil, your skin drinks it in and how silky soft it leaves it. How great it was as an oil treatment for her hair. Then tells me that when you use it on your hands you can rub it across a sheet of paper and it does not smear or leave an oil stain. The whole time I am thinking (you have got to be kidding Me) I did not say that but I thought it.
To make a long story short we added Cora’s Blissfully Natural Oil to our products and it is now one of our best sellers, our local customers love it and at Craft show we almost always sell out.

You only have to use a few drops for your hands and face.

The oils are listed on the bottle, if you ask Cora she will tell you that it is the recipe and it’s a secret. She mixes it herself, won’t even let me see the recipe.

What You Might Not Know About Your Personal Care Products

What you Might Not Know about your Personal care Products
Please Read this

Back when Cora’s Blissfully Natural Products was a 4-H project; She had to do research on what was in our own personal care products. This is some of what she found. Needless to say we never used them again.

The Information below was used for Cora’s 4-H Oral Presentation that year.

POPULAR BUZZ WORDS.
Although there are many popular buzzwords in the market place today here are three; Pure, Natural, Non-Toxic.
The very name makes these words sound like the product should be healthy for you, right? That’s the deception. . Let’s discuss the three words mentioned above one at a time.
Pure.
The dictionary’s definition of Pure is “unmixed or unpolluted”. “Absolute”.
The Cosmetic Industry’s definition of Pure is any product containing any ingredient or portion thereof that could be traced back to a pure or original origin. In other words, if there is a “trace” of something original in there, you can call the whole product pure. I hardly think this makes the product “unpolluted” or “absolute”.
Natural:
The dictionary’s definition of Natural is: “Pertaining to, in accordance with, or determined by, nature; Being or found in its native state”. “Not artificial”.
According to the Cosmetic Industry, you can proudly display the “natural” label if at least 5% of the ingredients are derived from a natural source. This means that you could have one ingredient that has a minimum of 5% of that ingredient that has come from a natural source and that is enough to meet the labeling requirements to call the entire product “Natural”. That means your product could be 5% natural and 95% artificial and still be called “natural”.
Webster’s Dictionary defines Non Toxic as: “not producing or resulting from poison”.
The cosmetic industry gives this definition: “If no more than 49% of all laboratory animals that the product is tested on die, then you can call the product Non Toxic.” That means that the product could be 48.9% likely to kill you. I don’t know about you, but I’m not willing to take those odds. That is a rather risky gamble with your health.

To further complicate the issue, we have no real hope for relief from the manufacturers’. Here is the reason why. The cosmetic/personal care industry is self regulating. That means, the only ones that are looking out for the consumer is the manufacturer of the product.

DID YOU KNOW... Recently a thousand people had to be evacuated from their homes, By order of OSHA because a factory near their homes had a one-gallon spill of a hazadorous chemical. This ingredient is used in hair shampoo!!!!

This is just the beginning of the list of chemicals to avoid in products you use daily:
1. Cocoamide DEA, diethanolamine, TEA, triethanolamine, MEA
2. Propylene glycol, propylene oxide, polyethylene glycol
3. Sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate
4. Sodium Fluoride
5. Mineral Oil , Petrolatum and Coal Tar
Q. What is DEA?
A. - DEA is diethanolamine, a chemical that is used as a wetting agent in shampoos, lotions, creams and other cosmetics. DEA is used widely because it provides a rich lather in shampoos and keeps a favorable consistency in lotions and creams. DEA by itself is not harmful but while sitting on the stores shelves or in your cabinet at home, DEA can react with other ingredients in the cosmetic formula to form an extremely potent carcinogen called nitrosodiethanolamine (NDEA). NDEA is readily absorbed through the skin and has been linked with stomach, esophagus, liver and bladder cancers.
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
TEA
diethanolamine.htm", TEA (Triethanolamine). DEA and TEA can result in the formation of carcinogens in products containing nitrite preservatives. Chemical reactions between nitrites and DEA/ TEA occur during the manufacturing process and while products are stored in their containers. This reaction leads to the formation of nitrosamines. Most nitrosamines, including those formed from DEA or TEA, are carcinogenic.
PEG
The Industrial World USES Propylene Glycol (PG) and Polyethylene glycol (PEG): Industrial Antifreeze, Brake/Hydraulic Fluid, Paint, Airplane De-Icer. These chemicals have been found to cause adverse health effects: contact dermatitis, kidney damage and liver abnormalities; Inhibit skin cell growth in human tests; Damage cell membranes causing rashes, dry skin and surface damage to the skin.

SLS
Sodium Lauryl (or Laureth) Sulfate: Engine Degreaser, Garage/Concrete Floor Cleaner, Car Wash Soap; Surrounds hair follicle in shampoo to keep it from growing, causes hair to fall out; keeps children's eyes from developing properly, causes cataracts in older people; In Toothpaste: Weakens enamel on teeth to cause cavities: SLS is very abrasive and may burn the skin, mouth, Canker sores, or scalp. Products commonly found to contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or SLES
Soaps
Shampoos
Bubble-baths
Tooth paste
Washing-up liquid / dish soap
Laundry detergent
Children's soaps / shampoos
Stain Remover
Carpet Cleaner
Fabric glue
Body wash
Shave cream
Mascara
Mouthwash
Skin cleanser
Moisture lotion / Moisturizer
Sun Cream

Get You Business Started with Bootstrap Financing

I found this and wanted to share it with you!

Get Your Business Started with Bootstrap Financing

| Print |

Work - Entrepreneurs
Written by Hybrid Mom
The one thing everyone needs before starting a business is money. When you are thinking about raising money for your business, bootstrap financing – using your own money to get your business off the ground – may be an option you should consider, said Glenn Muske, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension interim associate dean, assistant director, family and consumer sciences. “Bootstrap financing is a popular way of inside funding since it relies on your capability to make use of your company’s resources to free additional capital to begin a venture, operational needs or expand your business,” Muske said. “This is one of the most inexpensive and best routes for an entrepreneur to explore when raising capital. It is a way to manage finances better and pull yourself up without the assistance of others.” Entrepreneur.com lists a number of advantages to using bootstrap financing. They include: * Since less is being borrowed you business will be worth more and therefore, no equity positions had to be surrendered. * There will not be any high interest on borrowed money. * With less debt on hand, you will appear more desirable to external lenders and investors when the time comes to use these routes. * You can be more creative when looking for ways to raise profits, without looking to external sources. Bootstrap financing can come in the form of trade credit, customer credit, real estate and from equipment suppliers. Muske said the type of financing you choose depends on the business. “Another thing to consider when beginning a business venture is whether to lease and not purchase,” he said. “If you are able to shop around and get a good leasing arrangement it will help your business by making smaller payments, you retain the ability to walk away at the end of the lease term and often you may be able to negotiate built-in maintenance provided by the lessor.” Bootstrap financing starts and ends with a business’s good financial management decisions. Muske said it is important for business owners to be aware of purchasing decisions and if a purchase is not necessary for the business then really reconsider. “Operating expenses are also important to keep a close eye on,” he said. “It doesn’t take too many unpaid bills to wipe out the profits a business has made.”

How to be Handsome Cosmetiques ( the Lips )

I just happen to have a few pictures of different ladies in our family about 1850. The women all seem to have tiny lips or they looked so unhappy.

Commenced in youth, thick lips may be reduced by compression, and thin linear ones are easily modified by suction. This draws the blood to the surface, and produces at first a temporary and, later a permanent inflation. It is a mistaken belief that biting the lips reddens them. The skin of the lips is very thin, rendering them extremely susceptible to organic derangement, and if the atmosphere does not cause chaps or parchment, the result of such harsh treatment will develop into swelling or the formation of scars. Above all things keep a sweet breath.

Everybody can not have beautiful hands, but there is no plausible reason for their being ill kept. Never bathe them in hot water, and wash them no oftener than is necessary. There dozens of women with soft, white hands who do not put them in water once a month. Rubber gloves are worn in the toilet, and they are cared for by an ointment of glycerin and rubbed dry with chamois-skin or cotton flannel.

Thin lips, we as women today plump our lips. As for washing the hand once a month, (I don’t think so!)
Remember this is a not beauty tip, this is how it was once upon a time by the women of our past.

How to be Handsome Cosmetiques ( one of the 1800's beauty uses of ammonia)

The Ladies of the 1800’s had little to nothing to go on. The things that they used as beauty treatments shocks the heck out of me! Are you ready to step back in time?

One of the most useful articles of the toilet is a bottle of ammonia, and any lady who has once learned its value will never be without it. A few drops in the water takes the place of the usual amount of soap, and cleans out the pores of the skin as well as a bleach will do. Wash the face with a flesh-brush, and rub the lips well to tone their color.

It is well to bathe the eyes before putting in the spirits, and if it is desirable to increase their brightness, this may be done by dashing soapsuds into them. Always rub the eyes, in washing, toward the nose. If the eyebrows are in inclined to spread irregularly, pinch the hairs together where thickest, If they show a tendency to meet, this contact may be avoided by pulling out the hairs every morning before the toilet.

The dash of Orientalism in costume and lace now turns a lady’s attention to her eyelashes, which are worthless if not long and drooping. Indeed, do prevalent is the desire for this beautiful feature that hairdressers and ladies’ artists have scores of customers under treatment for invigorating their stunted eyelashes and eyebrows.

To obtain these fringed curtains anoint the roots with a balsam made of two drachms of nitric oxide of mercury mixed with one of the leaf lard. After and application, wash the roots with a camel’s hair brush dipped in warm milk. Tiny scissors are used, with which the lashes are carefully pulled and slightly trimmed every day. When Obtained, refrain from rubbing or even touching the lids with the finger nails. There is more beauty in a pair of well kept eyebrows and full sweeping eyelashes than people are aware of, and a very unattractive and lusterless eye assumes new beauty when it looks out from beneath a elongated fringes.

WARNING this not a Beauty tip!!
This is more of a history lesson.

How to be Handsome Cosmetiques ( The sun Bath)

The Value of a Sun Bath

The lady of the 1800’s were not any different than you or I. The only difference is that their information came by Pony Express, not on the world wide web.

A sunbath is of more worth than much warming by the fire.

Ladies who have ample leisure and who lead methodical lives take a plunge or sponge bath three times a week, and a vapor or sun bath everyday. To facilitate this very beneficial practice, a south or east apartment is desirable. The lady denudes herself, takes a seat near the window and takes in the warm rays of the sun. This is beneficial and delightful.

If, however, she be of a restless disposition, she may dance, instead of basking in the sunlight. Or, if she be not fond of dancing, she may improve the shining hours by taking down her hair and brushing it, using sulphur water, pulverized borax dissolved in alcohol, or some similar dressing. It would be surprising to many ladies to see her carefully wiping the separate locks on a clean, white towel until the dust of the previous day is entirely removed. With such care it is not necessary to wash the head, and the hair under this treatment is invariably good.

This is not to be done in real life. This is about the ladies of the 1800’s

Check in tomorrow and see what new in the 1800's mail box.

How to be Handsome Cosmetiques

Some buy new books, Me I love old books.

We talk of living the Eco friendly, natural, and organic life. This is a choice we make; but what if it was just life!

For a moment let step back in time. ( just for fun) this is the only information you get and are glad to get it as a woman in 1800's

From one of my books, How to be handsome Cosmetiques;

All women cannot have good features, but they can look well and it is possible to a great extent to correct deformity and develop much of the figure. The first step in good looks is good heath, and the first element of good health is cleanliness.

In the matter of baths, it is not strongly advocated she plunge into ice water: it takes a woman with clear grit and a strong constitution to endure it. If a hot bathe were used, let it come before retiring, as there is less danger of taking cold after-wards; and , besides the body is weakened by the ablution and needs immediate rest. It is well to use a flesh-brush and after wards rinse off the soapsuds by briskly rubbing the body with a pair of Coarse toilet gloves.

The most important part of the bath is the drying. Every part of the body should be rubbed to a glowing redness, using a coarse crash towel at the finish. If sufficient friction cannot be given, a small amount of bay rum applied with the palm of the hand will be found efficacious.

Next the Value of a sun Bath.
