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.
Prohibition only drives drunkenness behind doors and into dark places, and does not cure it or even diminish it.” – Mark Twain
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 love this soap. I haven’t purchased one that I don’t love. I given it as gifts. My friends are loving it too!
Love every soap I have purchased! My skin feels like silk!
Absolutely love them!
The Vanilla Bean candle smells like you are inside the cake. It is subtle, warm, and sweet. It is the fastest way to make your house seem like you were just baking something delicious. I love to burn this upstairs so the scent drifts downstairs and tickles your nose with a hint of sweetness. The burn time is so good, the candles last a good while. This is winter/holiday favorite.
This is my favorite candle. I love the scent of brewing coffee and this candle perfectly encapsulates it. The burn time is wonderful. The scent is strong enough to fill a few rooms without being overwhelming. This is my go-to when I cook shrimp or broccoli. I also keep a few on hand for throw down gifts. Cuppa Joe candle and a gift certificate is how you get them hooked.
Smells amazing! I haven't tried them yet. I received my order today and can't wait to use them. Shipping was very fast, the soaps were beautiful and they all smell great!
Sturdy and effective in keeping our lovely soaps dry and not getting mushy!
We both love all of your soaps! The fragrances are heavenly, and the soap is so silky on the skin! It makes every shower a spa experience!
I love this lip balm! I bought cherry and strawberry and both are delicious, no I didn’t eat them! They smell wonderful and go on smoothly, not sticky like other brands, and really moisten the lips. I will definitely purchase more.
When I travel, I now take along some pieces of these soap ends in a tin. I break them up into tiny pieces and put them in a tin so I know I will have the best soap with me wherever I go! Love how this product reduces waste, especially since all of Gilded Olive’s soaps are heavenly. So, whether you just want to sample the soaps or you already know how much you love them, these soap ends are perfect!
I love how this soap smells like gingerbread without being overbearing. It’s like a warm, gingerbread hug! And just like all of the soaps from Gilded Olive, this one has a rich, luxurious lather. Perfect wintertime soap!
Not only is the lavender scent wonderful, I use Sophie soap on days that I do not use the scrub. My skin has never felt bett5er!
The Lavender scrub is an excellent exfoliater and has a nice scent, especially when you also use the moisturizer.
Love how creamy the soap lathers and the scent is just perfect , my favorite
I use this deodorant because it is natural and that is important to me as a cancer survivor. It is also very effective in controlling odor. I only have to apply it once daily and it keeps me from worrying about odor issues all day and night..
