Did you know that dating, as we think of it, didn't really exist until the 1920's?
Up until that time, a young man would be chosen by the family to court, or "come calling" on the young lady.
With the promise of a new year, I bought a swanky new monthly planner. As I tried to figure out my goals for the coming months, I couldn't help but look back on all the changes that came about last year. With the clarity of a Monday morning quarterback, here was the gift of hindsight.

I had no intention of getting another dog- thanks, social media. Bella's our big girl, and little Sophie is her brand new pal. Bella couldn't be happier, I think she's always been a momma at heart.
Zelda's a new Flapper girl. She's far too loud and bossy. Or so she's been told. At 21 years old, she wasn't yet married, and still living in Sheepshead Bay, New York with her father and younger sister, Rose.
Olive, pine or emerald. The shade doesn't matter much. Olivia's favorite color has always been green.
She grew up in the Bronx, NY, where there were only small swatches of it to be seen, in too few months of the year. Except when she worked with her father.
I brought for Christmas 🎁 cannot wait for them to try and I know they will fall in love
I loved this Cherry Bomb lip balm. It is so yummy - I had to keep myself from taking a bite out of my lips. lol
This is the first time I've tried any of Val's Sea Salt Soaps. I loved it. Made my skin feel so soft. And the tangerine was invigorating.
This Cherry Bomb lip balm is so yummy I have to stop myself from taking a bite out of my own lips. lol
Love these!
Love love love!! Best smelling candles!!
I love all Valeries products especially all her natural chapstick. Currently my favorite one. Perfect for those cold winter days.
Bought this for my mother she is very picky and loves my body cream from Valerie. I know she likes unscented creams. So this will be perfect for her
Perfect gift for my mother in law. I received a sample of a apple 🍎 candle. Immediately bought one for my mom and mother in law. They both baked and I can see them burning this in the kitchen. My sample alone makes my kitchen smell good. I will be buying one for myself next order 😆
First time buying this soap and will buy again. Her soaps never disappoint. I am obsessed with them. I only will use her products. My skin ✨️ has never looked better since using her products.
Val soaps and products make the perfect gifts and perfect gifts for myself.
This soap smells wonderful. It has a subtle spiciness and leaves a light touch of patchouli after you rinse. The lather is very rich and my hands feel soft.
Love the fragrance of this soap. It smells like pumpkin pie, lathers well, and leaves my skin soft and clean.
Love the smell of this candle. It reminds me of all the good things of Autumn, like crackling fires and whipped cream on hot cocoa.
I have very sensitive skin and choise fragrance free moisturizers whenever possible. So glad I tried this. It's easy to apply, absorbs well, and keeps my skin soft and moisturized without feeling greasy, and it does not irritate my sensitive skin.
