The 1950s were a time of strict societal norms, especially for women. These rules dictated their behavior, clothing, and even finances, confining them to roles deemed acceptable by society. This blog post explores 18 of these restrictions that limited women’s freedoms and choices, showcasing how bizarre they feel in today’s context. 1. Women couldn’t wear…
The desire for connection doesn’t fade just because we add a few candles to the cake—if anything, it gets even more precious. Dating isn’t just for the young and restless; plenty of us still crave romance, laughter, and late-night phone calls, thank you very much! But I’ll admit, the road to dinner dates and hand-holding…
Avocado green and macramé weren’t just trends—they were a vibe, and every woman I knew wanted her house to say as much. The 1970s had this wild confidence, a sort of permission slip to mix patterns, pile on the color, and let your personality explode in every room. If you grew up in a house…
What feels like a regular Tuesday in the U.S. can look absolutely wild to someone from another country. I’m not kidding—sometimes I catch myself doing something totally ordinary (like sipping a $7 oat milk latte in leggings I didn’t exercise in) and think, “Wait, is this just an American thing?” From beauty rituals to the…
Step into any garage from the 1970s, and you’d find yourself transported into a world brimming with character and charm. These spaces, often an extension of the home, were filled with a mix of practicality and nostalgia. Each item had its place, telling a story of a bygone era where garages served not just as…
Because what’s old-school is suddenly ultra-cool again. The magic of language is how it circles back—like your favorite pair of jeans making a comeback, retro phrases from decades past are all over socials and group chats. It’s hilarious how words your mom or even grandma used casually are now popping up on TikTok, dressed up…
History didn’t just happen — they launched it. When I think about the story of space, I don’t just mean rockets or astronauts with movie-star smiles. I’m talking about the women who changed every single rule of the game, often while being told they didn’t even belong. These ladies weren’t just in the room —…
Because when a 9-year-old says “rizz,” “cap,” and “skibidi” in one sentence, you know there’s a deeper (and weirder) reason behind it. If you’ve been around Gen Alpha—those born roughly between 2010 and 2025—you’ve probably noticed how they’ll latch onto a word and repeat it until you wish your ears had an off switch. Listen,…
Some memories don’t live in photos — they live in the sounds that shaped a generation. For Baby Boomers, life had a whole background playlist, filled with clicks, buzzes, dings, and thuds that just aren’t around anymore. If you grew up in those years, you know: these sounds weren’t just there, they were woven into…
Honestly, being modern doesn’t mean manners are outdated. If anything, Gen Z has more ways than ever to show up with style, respect, and just the right amount of attitude. We’re tech-savvy, bold, and unapologetically ourselves—love that! But let’s be real: even when life feels like it’s happening in DMs and memes, a little etiquette…
