Hi! I’m Charlotte and this is Milk & Honey Life…your home for all things beauty, nesting, planning, and lifestyle! This channel is 100% sponsorship-free, positive and upbeat, and welcoming to all. Thank you for joining us, and please feel free to subscribe for new videos every week!
Today I wanted to do something a little different and put to use all the fun tidbits I've learned from reading vintage books over the years! So I lived for 24 hours like a 1950s housewife: no iphone, no internet, no modern-day conveniences! Follow along as I do a vintage cleaning/housekeeping routine, cook all original 1950s recipes for the day, and follow a retro beauty and skincare routine. I hope you enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I do not agree with the appalling lack of civil rights that dominated the 1950s! Even now, 70 years later, we still have so much work to do in the fight for racial justice and I absolutely do not take this lightly! Please help support the movement and ongoing battle to end State-sanctioned violence and end racism forever.

Your husband dressing the part is relationship goals
Right? That was so adorable, my husband came over and giggled at that because he was curious as to what I was watching :D
Ikr! And he matched his tie with her dress ❤️❤️❤️
What a fun cute video. You should consider doing a series with an episode each month where you are a housewife in a different decade. I would love to see the 1940s and 1980s.
That would be fun!
And, the 1920’s!
You're a doll. What a sweetheart! I'm an old lady of almost 60 and I am such a traditionalist at heart so I really enjoyed seeing a young lady as yourself embrace this lifestyle. So well done!
Excellent video. I call it Elbow grease from 1940-1960. Women worked very hard.....from cooking to beauty.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love the home office kiss goodbye. Nate is a sport! I smiled through this whole video. You're awesome.
This was so fun and interesting to watch! Definitely made me laugh on the lay down for 3-5 minutes ... i feel like I would have been the 50s housewife who’s husband comes home to find her on the kitchen floor bc my 3-5 minute nap went overtime 😂
Thanks for all the research you did! Definitely would love to see more vids like this! 💖
Your comment made me giggle. Heehee.
Great comment because it describes me to a tee! I’d be certainly passed out on the kitchen floor surrounded by my doggies!
I seriously loved everything about this video , including the disclaimer . I agree it doesn't take away from any empowerment at all .You look so gorgeous I need to do those exercises also ! Killer legs and core were for sure a strength then ! THANKS FOR SHARING !!! 🎀 The jello looked so yummy i could never imagine eating it like that lol ! The pie looked amazing !!
I totally agree. I appreciate the disclaimer. I know this took a lot of work to prepare and film. Job well done.
Same💗
Yeah, right? I was salivating over that apple pie!
You and Nate are so cute!♥️. He’s such a good sport and so supportive of you Charlotte! Thank you for your comments about this era and racism. I feel the same as you. I love that time but not the treatment of our black brothers and sisters. I do pray that we will move past where we are right now..
You are amazing 💗
Amen!
Great video , love the 1950’s I think couples treating each other with respect and kindness is the goal . And how couples wish to live and what works for you them is the main thing . I love a clean home , a cooked dinner and a happy hubby so we help each other out as we both work full time . Your hair looked beautiful . Thank you for your videos x
I love that this is your aesthetic! But it doesn’t take away any kind of empowerment😁
What lol
I know this was written months ago, but I would ask you to consider who comes across as more powerful, a woman wearing a killer dress, beautiful hair and lovely makeup, or a woman with a buzz cut wearing no makeup and jogging pants? Which woman will cause heads to turn? Who really has the power? Just saying. 😊
@@dothethings4145 Definitely the former, the latter sounds fugly AF lol so if that one is turning heads it's for the wrong reasons lmfao.
Oh! Small tip: add 1 cup of shredded extra sharp cheddar to your pie crust recipe when making apple pie. Conversely, you can top the pie with cheddar MELTED atop the slice. That may have been the disconnect for your taste buds.
Yes! That's how we ate it at my grandmother's house .
My family always says, "pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze" ;)
Girl what??? I have to try this!
This is a very beautiful channel, I feel like living in the good old days, I love this era so much. Thank you Charlotte !!
(This is quite long, but I hope it gives fellow commenters a taste of what life was like in the 50s and 60s.)
I was born in 1953. When I was around 10 I asked my mother why she didn't wear mascara like my friend's mother did. My mom replied, "Ladies don't wear mascara. Ladies only wear powder and lipstick." She almost always wore plaid wool skirts, short sleeved sweater tops, a necklace and clip-on earrings.
Everyday she exercised with Jack LaLaine and watched two soap operas between noon and 2:00 p.m.-- "As the World Turns" and "Days of Our Lives." (The introduction was, "As sands through an hourglass so go the days of our lives.") It was the only television she watched during the day.
We watched "Howdy Doody," "Bozo the Clown," "The Lone Ranger" and other children's shows. I despised Mr. Roger's Neighborhood because it was so slow and boring.
I loved tomato aspic, Heavenly Hash (marshmallows, coconut, sour cream, mandarin oranges, etc.), Jello, Junket, Hawaiian Punch, Hi C "fruit" drink, "Fizzzies" and deviled eggs...and "Allegretto Cake" which is angel food cake, some vanilla icing (only on the top) with melted bitter baking chocolate drizzled down the sides. Yum! My mom made cookies for after school treats. (Most of these foods are from the 60s.)
As kids in the summer we'd leave the house in the morning, come back home for lunch and then play outside until dinner. We'd eat dinner and then get together with neighbor kids and play "Hide and Go Seek," "Kick the Can" and other fun games. When it got too dark to play outside we'd come home.
My parents added on 10 minutes a night each year to our bedtimes. I'd go to bed at 7:30 p.m., then 7:40 p.m., etc., but it would be later in the summer. It topped out at 9:30 p.m. which was our bedtime throughout high school.
My sisters and I went barefoot all day long during the summer. Our feet got really tough and we could even walk on gravel without it hurting.
We played "Hop Scotch," "Pick Up Sticks," rode our bikes and jumped rope. We kids were very active. There were almost no overweight children then.
Our birthday parties were just peanuts with tiny pastel mints, chocolate cake, ice cream and Hawaiian Punch mixed with ginger ale. We played "Pin the Tail on the Donkey," "Duck, Duck, Goose," "Musical Chairs," "London Bridge is Falling Down" and other games. We wore pointy birthday hats and blew on paper noise makers that curled up and down. None of these thousand+ dollar birthday parties like kids have now.
It was safe enough that we could roam at will throughout the neighborhood for hours. (We did have to call our mother if we went to someone's house.)
We put our hair into rollers every night. Some were foam and others were metal with prickly plastic bristles. My mother would give us Tony permanents which stunk.
My parents went to Bridge and Canasta parties with the neighbors. The neighbors were very friendly.
I grew up two blocks from the Washington D.C. line in Maryland.
I always giggle when I hear someone mention Howdy Doody; as I asked my Dad (born in '51) if he watched Howdy Doody. His reply was priceless-"No way! I thought that show was too cheesy and childish...it was like the Barney Show of the 50's!" haha!!
This was awesome! Absolutely hilarious. I really appreciate your research and sharing it with us along the way. It was so cute to see DC next to you on the floor. 😁
Love it. So sweet Charlotte. Ok how about a series -- 1960's next or 1920 and so on ;) Be well.
Being a 1950's housewife sounds so exhausting! 😆 Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
This was so cute and fun to watch 💕 I love how you embrace what makes you happy, have fun with it and just live it!
Hey Charlotte, What a terrific video!! Love when you and Nat both appear. And actually there were some great skin care tips. Loved it all. Thanks and can’t wait for the next one. Hugs Robyn 😍
My dad was in the military in the 1950s all the way up until the 70s. You should have a 50s Disney movie night or week and watch some of the movies that came out then. Of course your favorite Cinderella.
This Was so cute Charlotte!! DC’s face when you were laying on the floor all sprawled out 😂❤️
Ponds Cold Cream is what I have ALWAYS used and I will be 60 on Saturday!! My Grandma used Ponds and at 93 looked 20 years younger than her age!! YOU are a beauty!! Wow, proves my age, because I remember eating the lime jello with Mayo and we STILL eat our apple pie with cheddar cheese 😁!!
Loved this! It was so fun! I’d love to see more videos like this! 😊❤️
I loved this video. From your matching outfits, cleaning, meal preps and odd meals (going to try the tuna casserole but not the dessert with mayo) to the evening beauty care. Thank you for sharing and as always I can’t wait for your next video. Stay safe and healthy friend.
Very lovely video!! I always love these kinds of videos, but yours was so calming and beautiful while being informative. Thank you for linking and noting your references. I appreciate it!
I absolutely love this video. I can't get enough of it. I was a bit worried that your slippers were going to fly off during your morning swanning 🤣❤
Thank you for the work put into this video. I found it very relaxing and loved your hair, makeup and outfit ❤
I was 12yrs old in 1955 we lived on a ranch I would love to go back to that time life was so much better then today people were nice men were gentlemen Americans loved their country life was wonderful I will never forget that
Time
What a fun video! Having a cocktail when hubby gets home reminds me of every "Bewitched' episode I watched growing up. They seemed to drink a good deal more than we do between the alcohol at business lunches and the daily cocktails at home. I don't think I could have made it through dinner with lime jello and mayonnaise...EEK!
I always loved how in Gilmore Girls Lorelai's parents served drinks before dinner :D it was fascinating to me even though they were in modern times lol.
Woooo never been this early! Ugh just started and I know I’m going to love it! 🥰💞
I love how much research and work you put in to creating this video.
I love this video. I’ve been trying out the 1950s housewife routines. I love it. You’re so inspiring Charlotte!!
Love love loved this!! I love the 1950’s so much too!
Super fun video! I'd love to see more like this with different dishes, fashion, tips! I also appreciate the disclaimer. Great job!!!
Charlotte, this video was SO well put together and absolutely adorable! 🥰 You and Nate are the best!
PS So happy you included ‘I Love Lucy’...it is somehow comforting and yet, still laugh out loud funny all these years later...
Happy July! ✨
You’re adorable Charlotte! What a fun peak into the 50’s 💗!!
I so loved this video. I think I’m going to give it a try. You have given me so much inspiration. I’ll post it on my channel as soon as o figure out my strategy!! Your just a joy to watch!!
Charlotte, I absolutely love this video. I think it is just so you in every way! It is so innovative and honestly very interesting! Love this idea! ❤️
Well done!! I've seen a few of these kinds of videos and yours was a joy to watch. Very calming and true to the times.
Loved this video!!!!!! You and Nate are so adorable. In the past few years I have become very intrigued by the 1950's and feel as though that is my Era. The disclaimer was a great touch as well. Thanks for sharing
Charlotte, you did a great job! I really appreciate how “close to the book” you were with this! It really gave me a good idea of what it was really like back then! 💗 my favorite way to get a glimpse into those days is to watch twilight zone! Haha, I love that show and I think I enjoy the fashion and life style in the show even more! Haha.
Omg! I had to add in, how cute of Nate to join in, you both looked sooo dapper!!!
I am new to your channel and I am so glad I found this! I ABSOLUTELY loved the video. It was informative, funny and full of glamour. This has to be .y all time fave. Thank you for sharing this. You have inspired me!❤️
This was so fun to watch. I also love Lucy soooo much! I have always felt like I should have been born in the 50s. I feel I am not supposed to be in this time period.
Loved it!!! Thank you:-)
I watch -" I love Lucy " with my children all the time. My 7 year old daughter loves it so much that she wants her future dog to be named Lucy😊
How cute! I’ve always thought Lucy is a perfect dog name ☺️
You are sooo adorable, Charlotte! I've been missing your vlogs lately, but am on a binge to catch up now!!
Absolutely charming! The ads for Fire and Ice are some of my all time favorites and the color is lovely on you!💗
Such a delightful video! I really enjoyed it; great job Charlotte!,💕
What a great idea for a video! I was enthralled! I like the way you try so hard to keep your videos fresh and interesting. This actually inspired me to do better both around the house and beauty-wise. ❤️
I really liked this and how you put everything together. I also liked the fact that you addressed issues during that era within your disclaimer. Loved it!
I’ve never clicked on a notification so fast!
Ikr
Ten years ago all these disclaimers would be “stating the obvious.”
Yep, it's sad that people are so sensitive now.
I smiled through the entire video. It was delightful to watch. Thank you for transporting us to a different time.
And videos like this are why I love your channel - this was so much fun! :-)
You did a great job explaining the life of a 1950’s Housewife. I agree with lots of the reasons behind what they did back then. It makes you appreciate what we have now.
This so cute. It’s so you. You seem like you step out of 50’s movie or magazine. You are beautiful outside and seems like a beautiful soul. 👍👏
I loved this! Such fun! Those times were far simpler but none of the conveniences of today.
Love this idea SO much!!! ❤️
I absolutely loved your video. Great job!! I too am an "I Love Lucy" show fan. I have all the seasons on DVD. Thank you so much for sharing, I truly enjoyed it. Got to get me some "Ponds", lol!!
I loved this video. Thank you for always posting such cool content! ❤️
I loved this video so much! The way Nate looks at you in the evening says so much about your marriage. My hubby looks at me the same! :)
This was a fun video and I liked it. Appreciated the disclaimer. Nate is such a good sport with your video ideas. Y'all are so cute.
This was so fun to watch! You are such a joy. :)
Really appreciate those disclaimers! You're adorable. I love the creamy pink housewares and kitchenware! I want that Hello Kitty phone receiver! xoxoxoxo
Absolutely loved this!!!!!
Oh wow , such an awesome video!!! I truly loved 🥰 it.
Your husband with the matching tie is adorable! My husband HAAAAATES it when I try to wrangle him into doing videos with me. LOL That part was so sweet!
Enjoyed this video full of sweetness, good fun and humor 💕🌺
You are a class act❤️ I loved this video! My 40TH birthday party is next week and it is vintage inspired. I am so glad I found your channel a few months ago
This was so fun!❤️❤️
There’s beauty and tragedy in every era, we should celebrate the good things of the past (and today!) without the guilt of the ugly, it’s in the past and dwelling on it is fruitless. I love the 50s aesthetic; the clothes, traditional values, health/beauty/diets, music, daily life, feminine beauty… Marilyn Monroe!! It’s fabulous.
What a fun idea for a video. You nailed the 50's hairdo so well!! Great video!
This may be my favorite video you have made. I literally could not stop smiling. I, too, have a nostalgic "crush" on the 50's housewife lifestyle and you seemed to NAIL it. Oh, and Nate - with his hat!! Perfection. Loved it all - the makeup, the food, the phone, the floor rest(!). Not to mention I Love Lucy. You have made my day with the fun of this. Thank you.
Thank you, I’m so happy you liked it!!
Charlotte, this was such a fun video! Nate was so cute to go along with the theme in his suit and hat! What interesting books you have to reference! So fun! Your disclaimer was very thoughtful too and so true, thank you for being your kind, sensitive self! You are amazing!
You are so sweet, thank you for this comment!! I know Nate was so nice to join in, even wearing a suit to work from home! 😍
Awe Nate, such a good sport. Another wonderful video!
Great video! Love how hubby participated. 👍
Absolutely love this!!!!
I absolutely love this video. ❤️ great job! Your apple pie looked delicious.
I would work my buy off for a women like this. Taking care of herself most of the day, making herself beautiful and exercising and making sure theirs a hot meal when her man comes home.
Not staying at her parents home all day and waiting till you come home to go out and eat! What a life 🥺
This was so fun to watch. Your skin is gorgeous btw!
You’re the first I’ve ever heard in the vintage videos to address the racial/gender inequalities of the time. No, it wasn’t a picture perfect time for all, and I appreciate that you have acknowledged that. Having said that, I loved the content. So amazing to see what housewives did in those times. Thank you for sharing!
This was adorable!!! You and your husband are too cute. Great video.
Cute and clever video! I enjoyed watching it very much. Thank you.
Totally enjoyed this!!! 💖
This video was the cutest! Life seemed so simple in the home back then. We as humans compliant things so much. You look absolutely beautiful!😀
I loved!!👏❤️
I remember the tuna noodle casserole! Can almost smell that beautiful pie!
Loved seeing something so refreshing. 😘
I was born in 1955. I don’t remember too much, but I have read a lot about that decade. You really did very well with your lifestyle of the day. It was very enjoyable to watch. Nate did well too. I believe it will be fun to see more videos like this. Always love your videos.
I love this video! It’s perfect !
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing
I love this!
This was fun to watch! Martha Stewart’s pie crust recipe calls for some shredded white cheddar. It makes the pie so savory and goes delicious with apple.
Loved this Charlotte!
Great and fun video!
Such a treat. I enjoyed watching. Cheddar and apple pie...there is a trick, I grew up eating it. Slice the cheese thinly and place on top of the warm pie. The warmth makes the difference, it's so yummy and slightly melty. Now I want some lol. A la mode is still the winner😉 You guys stayed dry for a very long time, good for you👍🥰
I loved this video! Its so creative!!
Okay I could notttt get by without letting my husband see me without makeup on 😳 like how?! Such a fun video!
I barely wear any so my hubby always sees me without it :D he loves me regardless!
Did you ever watch Marvelous Mrs. Maisel? She sneaks out of bed after her husband is asleep to go through her beauty routine and put her rollers in and face mask on, and then gets up in the wee hours before he wakes up to wash her face and reapply her makeup and lipstick and do her hair, so it looks like she woke up just that gorgeous! LOL! :P
@@dreamsincolor10 YES! Looove that show. I can’t imagine. So exhausting haha 😞
@@amandamadden7423 Never! Lol. 🤣
Just loved it 💞💖
I was seriously craving pie all day today, so you had me at the thumbnail 😂💀
This was so fun I wanna do one but I’m single lol!!! But you have all the stuff that fits the aesthetics
Absolutely love this
Also, I’m from Texas and I don’t know if this is a southern thing or not but I grew up eating “pear salad” which is half of a canned pear covered in mayonnaise, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and a cherry on top. Also, “carrot salad” which is shredded carrots and raisins mixed with mayonnaise and served cold. 😂 sounds pretty 1950s to me!
