In the 1950s , my mom exercised with Jack Lalanne on tv and sometimes took a nap. She had six children but those were the days when a mom could say, “Go outside and play. “ and no one worried about it.
I was a kid in the late 90s-early 00s and my mum did this too (minus the excersise as she got hers farming) I remember having to wake her up at 4 so dad didn't catch her napping
I grew up in the 50s. I remember we always took an afternoon nap in the summer!! Then bathed and got dressed in fresh outfit for dinner. I still love to do that! Your program is sooo lovely to watch and thank you. Just love you.
Relaxing is so foreign to me now. I took today off to relax. Reading or listening to a book is my favorite thing to wind down, or watch a feel good movie or show. I have all the goodies for an amazing bath, but I never find myself wanting to soak in the tub. My favorite thing to do for relaxing is laying in my infrared sauna bed. My body and muscles become so relaxed I can take a long nap afterwards. Best investment I've made for myself. I try to zip everyone into that thing. 😆 I want to be more intentional about my mommy time. I have let it turn into mommy and kiddo time, so I really never get a break. Thank you for the reminder.
Laci I have to admit my relaxing time is watching your channel..I love tea & bathes as well. I have enjoyed your stories , your shopping trips, your hair and makeup videos..just always something new and fun to watch.. brings me alot of laughs and calming my anxiety🤗TY💕
Hi Laci, I am a youthful senior and love your channel. This video reminds me of how life was so much easier and how important it is to take time to relax daily. Your videos are truly inspiring and make me happy!
Dear Laci My name is Laurel, I live in Bend Oregon with my fiance and our kids I LOOOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS!!!! 🙂😃 📺 On top of COVID!!! We had a snow storm 🌨️❄️❄️❄️ So we took the day to relax and be with our kids today I Appreciate your advice on SELF CARE My grandma grew up in the 50's I Love your house and the theme you have 🙂, the outfits as well 🙂 My kitchen back home was a 50's theme I plan on working on our kitchen 50's style I look forward to watching more videos Truly yours, Laurel Tyler
I have a pink tub also! Definitely agree with a nice hot bath then a cup of chamomile tea afterwards to get you in a relax mode for a good night's sleep. Love your kitties! 😻
Using antique razors for a nice slick shave is great for the vintage man. Its one of the things I do on my channel. Its a fast way to have a spa like experience and unwind.
All the little details of your home remind me so much of my Nanny’s house and it brings me so much joy and happiness. The bathtub and tiles in your bathroom and little trinkets that lined the sink. Oh, it brings me back to being little and spending time at her house. Thank you for sharing your warm spirit with everyone.
That quilted housecoat robe is just *chef's kiss. I've been saving and working on a pattern to sew one very similar. A nice warm & cosy housecoat, a good book, and cuddling up to kit-cats. A dream I'm hoping to make true.
I got that same magazine for Christmas from my parents. I’m a lucy fanatic and 1 of my living rooms is completely dedicated to my massive I love Lucy collection
My self care routine involves a "theme" shower or bath. I love the Rose scent and so I use rose toner on my face, rose shower gel in the shower and then rose body lotion after. I do the same with lavendar and strawberry. Love your videos.
It’s been quite a challenge for me. But. I am hoping when winter is over, I can get outside and go for walks. I don’t work right now due to disability. I have managed to lose almost 50 pounds! I am so excited bout that. Things I like to do to relax is to watch animal videos or channels like Blue Cactus Dairy goats, especially after the Does give birth. There nothing more cuter that baby goats! Running around and hopping. 🥰
Oh my goodness! I feel like a kid again watching your videos. I grew up in the 50's and remember those vintage decorations so well. My mom always wore a house dress, nails painted red and hair similar to yours. She never relaxed but was the constant housewife, cooking, cleaning and all things home. I'm so happy I stumbled upon your site. You are adorable!!! ❤️💜❤️💜
Such wise words Laci! Over this past year I've learned alot about throwing good energy after bad (busy vs productive). I'm embracing change & going back to school (at 53!) so I can move into a different career that lets me move near family and be -an-auntie. My work for the past 3 decades has kept me far from family. Due to the shut-downs my career field (theatre & conventions) is out for the count until 2022 for full time work (honestly the workforce will never be middle class income again except for a small percent). Simple pleasures and contentment go a long, long way in life. Keep up the lovely work, it's such a joy to visit your world!!☺
I also, sometimes, use herbal tea. I particularly use Chamomile tea as a relaxant. I also rely on meditation. I throw on an ambiance video of a Victorian Parlor (my vintage era is Late Victorian) and just meditate. And cats help, too, if they're not fighting. 😆
Love this video! Self care is SOOO important, especially during this weird time! And you´re right - a kitty or two always help :) ! Sending lots of love from Germany, I love your channel!!!
With this pandemic a lot of people are going crazy. I'm an American living in the UK, so our rules are very different. You taking the time to talk about self care in a very different "vintage way" is amazing, sweet, and honestly good for you. Very nice watch 💕
Awe the lovely kitties they just love you to bits,,I have a lab dog,he's gorgeous,,he loves walks it relaxes me ,,it is hard to unwind,,I love fifties values , so cozy with herbal tea and Kittie's,,,keep it up Lacey,, ❤️🧁 I think watching vintage neighborhood video's soo lovely and relaxing ,thanks Lacey ,do take care you are such a busy little bee 🐝
I am a bit of a workaholic. Especially as a public health worker in a pandemic. My doctor has told me that a it's people like us who tend to end up with fatigue related illnesses, like fibromyalgia. So do your self-care now, so you don't wear out when your my age.
What is that music? I love it. Peaceful and relaxing. Music is always my go to thing when I'n stressed and need a break, or as a means to revive myself depending on what I listen to,. P.S. I adore that pink Chenille (?) chair your sitting in.
Where is your baby ? Is he away at boarding school? There is like no sign of a child in your household. How do you pull that off? my son has stuff everywhere.
Thank you for another wonderful video. Just hearing your voice and listening to you mentioning relaxing techniques already makes me feel more calm at the end of a busy work week. 🙂 I so look forward to your videos, and I love the kitties!
My oldest brother used to tease me when he would visit during the years I was raising my family, because I would have coffee time in the mid afternoon. He would say "Oh you're just like a 50s housewife." But I had to have this time every day to recharge, so I could make it thru the rest of the day and evening. Now, many years later, he loves to come to my home, or go out for mid afternoon coffee :) tfs Lovely video as always. 🥰😘🌵🏜️❣️💕💞💓💗💖💘💝❤️🔥💌🥰😘🌵🏜️❣️💕💞💓💗💖💘💝❤️🔥💌
Hey lovely lady! Those kitties are so adorable, gotta lower the blood pressure for sure🐱 I love to make my jewellery, as it’s not my main job, I am totally relaxed & immersed in what I’m doing 🥰Even better with some records playing🎼🎺🎷 I too love a bubble bath & obviously, watching my favourite RU-vidrs with a cup of tea really puts me in the zone🙏 Lots of love 💕 Xx
I think we have a tendency to run ourselves ragged even more so TODAY than we did 60+ years ago. I personally like to chillax and either read or surf on my laptop whilst snuggling with our two Boston Terriers.
Hmmm...I was kind of expecting a little crochet or knitting thrown in there somewhere. Having grown up in the 1950's, I remember seeing my aunts doing yarn crafting whenever there was a family gathering.
This was an awesome video and a great reminder to take the time to take care of ourselves. Someone once said, "You can't pour from an empty vessel". Your cats are adorable 😊
I loved hearing the article you read. It was published the year I was born, 1957! I also like to read, put on some old records and I find baking relaxing too. Winter is the perfect time to sit and look at my stereoscope cards and I find hand sewing projects really relaxing. Right now I’m sewing a complete Victorian outfit for a China head doll my sister in law gave me for Christmas. I even made her a corset and a lobster tail cage bustle support! Writing snail mail letters is also a fun way to relax(and be productive at the same time, ha). Happy Valentine’s Day!🥰
I thank you for reminding us to take time to unwind. I , too, love a tub bath to take away the aches and pains of the day. I was born in 1950 and hence the aches and pains. But I loved growing up in that era. My Mom watched Edge of Night and I love Lucy. We played outside in the neighborhood all day in the summer. Such fun for us and Mom. Come in for graham crackers with frosting in the middle for snack. Watching your channel makes me look back at the good old days. Always heart shape sugar cookies with red sprinkles on them for Valentines Day. Passing out those vintage valentine cards at school. Thank your for the memories.
Thank you for this video! I must say, the timing of this video was perfect - I only found out 3 hours ago that a dear friend of mine died yesterday. This video helped me cope with the situation. Sorry for your loss too - I've been praying since I heard of the passing of your grandmother. Love the videos you make, keep up the great work! :)
Can I ask where to purchase the mint and cinnamon herbal tea you mentioned? I was also wondering where you bought the tea strainer you have? Thank you so much for the video.
Loved this video Laci! To relax I also like to listen to music or write it, as well as listening to old radio programs, flower arranging, and organizing.
My poor mom in the Fifties hardly ever took time to relax with all of us kids and a job. I don’t know how she did it. I love your videos they bring me to a better time and away from worldly kayos .
My mother used to talk about pound parties where everyone would bring a pound of something. I don't know what they did with the items but she acted like it was fun. It might have been a 1940s thing instead of 1950s.
My favorite way to relax is either a good book and a cup of hot tea, or knitting and a cup of hot tea. Whichever I choose, my kitty always "helps" me out!
Sweetie speaking from a mother of 6 adult children and a niece, you HAVE TO TAKE SOME TIME FOR YOURSELF. Even if it’s after others go to bed, or one day a week don’t film, go lay in bed and read or go for a nail appointment and go thrifting with a friend and have lunch. You need to take care of yourself in order to take care of a others. I’m not your mum but I’m very proud of you and you take some me time honey.
Hi Laci! Can you tell me anything about the blue glass vase/decoration behind you in the video? Seeing it triggered a flashback to an emerald green version my grandma had (maybe still has?). Thanks! P.S. All four of our cats like to nap with me in the afternoon :-)
Just read a magazine “Delineator” from June 1930! I like to read right before I fall asleep. Magazines, books, the Bible, it just relaxes me. When I was having trouble sleeping years ago I would (try) read a book on quantum mechanics. Fell asleep soooo fast lol thanks for the videos, I always look forward to them. Btw I have the same set of dishes as your cup. Love vintage anything and everything.
I haven’t been back for a while with the Covid and everything going on I’m so glad I came back to your channel. You are a sweet girl I was born in 1950 and I know somewhat about the era, my style is more vintage 40s and 50s. Thank you so much for your kind and calming demeanor. Have a blessed day,❌⭕️❌from Massachusetts.
Definitely yoga. I do very gentle yoga, the kind available to just about anyone. It can certainly be considered vintage. I remember my parents had Theos Bernard's yoga book, I remember looking at it. I just learned that practicing skin care actually enhances happiness! Mask wearing caused a flare-up of rosacea and now I do daily facials (which has worked like magic!). My husband is like you, Laci, always working, always occupied. He gardens to relax. I loved this video! Thank you!
Hi Laci, I found you last eeek and finally got a current episode! I'm a war baby so my mom wore those clothes and I remembered as you show. Do you wear all the time, your home is all vintage? What does your family think of it? I think it's wonderful that you are doing this. I'm a subscriber now and love your channel!! Can't wait for the next episode. My parents are both hone..both mid 90s in age, so this helps me. I miss them so very much. We did so much together. Happy Valentines day 💓 💗
