Till Sunbeams Find You

My Quarantine Nighttime Routine 


To begin one must separate hair into smaller sections. 
Take a small section and hold the hair straight from the scalp.
Roll each curler carefully; winding firmly not tightly and making sure that no hair escapes the curl. 
Clip curler closed at the base of the head. 


Carefully remove makeup using cold cream, coco nut oil, or a makeup wipe.

*Cue Palmolive commercial voice*

To bring beauty even while you sleep do what thousands of women all over the country are doing every day. Carefully apply  moisturizer morning and night for healthy, brighter looking skin. A lovely complexion is yours to win! 




Cover curlers with a nightcap or silk headscarf to ensure that curlers stay in place while sleeping.




And an excerpt from this not so shocking book that gave me a laugh

"The shock to a sensitive man's feelings, which now occurs, is likely to send him to a lunatic asylum for life.

The bride's head is covered with a network of large, shiny wire gadgets, resembling safety pins, much enlarged. They pull her hair so hard that her eyes are all squinched up. This alters her expression so much that he doesn't at first recognize her. She is wearing a pretty peignoir, over a new pink nightgown-- the costliest in her trousseau. But he doesn't even see these things. His eyes travel down from her hair to her face. And her face is like a leper's, as white as snow!

When the first shock passes, he realizes that this is the way she is going to look to him every night of their lives. He has heard about curlers and cream. But until he marries, no woman has dared to show them to him. His mother, his sisters, etc, have been too anxious to preserve his good opinion. His wife, on the other hand, feels free to behave naturally."

And why, my dear reader, shouldn't she?
