Thanks for these memories from my life growing up in the 70’s. You’re so right, people were happier, and life was simple. I feel blessed to have been a part of that decade!

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Lucky you experienced it

[@vonbee22]

It was good and very weird times as well.

[@anniey949]

Best Decade Ever xx

[@kathleenklein4231]

I was a teen in the 1970's and early 1980's. It was a simpler time and I felt more family oriented. It was great to grow up in a time where you had to use your imagination a little to play and there weren't a bunch of distractions such as video games, cell phone and internet.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

So true

[@joanmatchett8100]

I was a teenager in the 70's , great times.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Thanks for watching

[@ghostlyimageoffear6210]

I was too. I always envied my parents in their stereotypical 50's experience. I never realized how incredible the 70's was at the time.

[@cindyurban150]

Yes Laura, Being a teenager in the 70's was fun.However, we had the Vietnam War at the time,and some upheaval with protests. The music was always new and exciting, due to all the many Genres (Rock,Folk,Progressive,Pop). Concert tickets were affordable. People seemed happier in the long run. Housing was more affordable,so were groceries. The Malls were filled with people shopping in many different types of stores besides clothing, and shoe stores (Record Stores, Book Stores,and restaurants etc.). It's sad that the Malls are disappearing,they were such an important of my youth. I love the "Nostalgia Factor" of your videos.Thanks for the many Trips down "Memory Lane". Happiness, Cindy 🌻 P.S. You have beautiful skin !

[@purrbugaloo]

Waterbeds were also very popular. Welcome Back Kotter is a fun 70s show. The Sears Wishbook came out at Christmas time and was a thick catalogue with nothing but toys. Kids could look through and circle things they hoped for.

[@user-or7wj5gi4s]

My family was huge on the Sears Wishbook. We all passed it around and gazed at it. Then my parents would order something and we had to go to Sears and get our order out of these little cubby holes. Geez do I miss that.

[@ann5765]

The 70s were so cool

[@NunyaBiznes-vs1gy]

Viet Nam took so many of our men and boys..and many suffer to this day. Just dont want that to be forgotten.

[@marlajacques6947]

I love the feeling your content gives me, thanks for honouring our precious past

[@Laurajaneatelier]

My pleasure!

[@greatgirl4492]

I was a teenager then. It was definitely a simpler wonderful time!

[@KT-rz7ue]

What a great video! I was in elementary school in the 70's and my brother was in high school. This is my favorite era ever. Life was really fun and simple compared to today. My favorite memories are the music, saving allowances to buy records, and being outside from dawn until dusk playing with my friends and being imaginative because we didnt have much money or distractions. We baby sat or mowed lawns if we wanted to buy something, most of our parents expected us to do chores and be respectful towards others. There wasn’t the kind of instant gratification we demand now. There was a mysterious element, especially with bands~ that was magical because we didnt have google and social media. The thing i miss most is that it was a slower pace. People really interacted with each other, engaging in conversations and weren't so self absorbed. That lack of interaction and sense of community is the major reason I think we're declining as a society.

[@CatVonMe54]

I was a young working woman in the 1970s. Gotta say, I didn't use a lot of those products and, in fact, associate them more with the 1950s and 60s. The 70's were all about Clinique and its three-step regimen. Lipstick was beige-y and neutral. There were some cute pert hairstyles like Tennille's, along with Farrah's layers, of course. I suppose those supermarket cereals held their own but this was the era of health food. We ate a lot of granola. Quiche became madly popular. And, yes, the 70s was the decade of fine movies, including the more arty ones from Europe, and in NYC we all lined up for the films of Woody Allen. Annie Hall may be the quintessential lifestyle flick of the 1970s!

[@Gigi24.24]

My absolute favorite style is the 70s!!! Literally everything!

[@treesoul00]

I don’t have to wonder, my parents are 50s kids. They dragged the 70s all the way into the 90s lol just like we still have pretty much everything from 2004.

[@Lemoncatsf]

Another love letter to the 70s Laura ❤😍 I was born in 1972, so my memories of the decade are sweet, childhood memories. Lots of time spent with my grandparents and aunts and uncles. I think people still made a lot of their clothes by hand, especially in my family, so trips to the giant fabric store with my grandmother were frequent. Sears was also the go to for early childhood outfits as well as some smaller, local department stores. Growing up in a beach area of California the smell of coconut infused suntan lotion brings me right back to childhood. Beaches and swimming pools always smelled like heavenly coconut 🥥 We moved to the house that my mother still lives in in 1976, new construction, and it had wall to wall god shag. My bedroom's color theme was green, orange and yellow with a stretched fabric giraffe 🦒 art panel. One of my weirdest early memories with a beauty item was the year my cousin, sister and I were gifted a play, flavored lipstick in a plastic ice cream cone shaped container 🍦We all ate them. I was three or four 😂

[@kimrunyan5106]

The 70's was the greatest decade for music, and a great time to be a kid.

[@janethanna9023]

I love wrap dresses..so flattering 👗 oh, and macrame' plant hangers holding spider plants !!!! So popular ❤ p.s. I still have a clock radio Ha

[@Laurajaneatelier]

I need a clock radio haha

[@vashtikelly6837]

i still live in the 70's and the tv industry did great by putting putting my old tv shows on dvd so i can watch them for the rest of my life!!!!! kiss, starskey/hutch, hart 2 hart, charlie angel, three company, love boat, were how i escaped.....still do..

[@jchow5966]

Every woman had “feathered” Farrah Fawcett type hair - often highlighted - always blow dried and styled with a hot curling iron.

[@lisapolanski9379]

I was in junior high and high school in the mid to late 70s. Graduated in 1981.

[@christinat.7264]

I liked the 70s and 80s. Many happy memories. Thanks for bringing it back.

[@lisapolanski9379]

Going to the record stores like the Wherehouse, Licorice Pizza, and Tower Records was something we did several times a week in the 1970s.

[@leovenus2782]

We got the Sears Wishbook and got to pick our favorites for Christmas. We did this well into the 80’s.

[@vashtikelly6837]

that cat pillow on your bed is the best!!!!

[@ih2439]

I recently stumbled upon your channel and I’m obsessed! love these dives into past decades, they’re relaxing and nostalgic ❤

[@sleepingwithcats5121]

Look at the price is right game show , Donny and Marie show, the talk shows from the 1970s, to get a real look into how people dressed . Tiger Beat and fashion mags, sewing patterns. Google! I grew up in the seventies and the early 70s was so different from the mid-70s and then different from the later 70s. Amazing decade. In all areas.

[@ksgoo4960]

I was born in1960, so I spent all of my teen's in the 1970s. I also remember a face cleaner called Phisoderm, and eyeshadow called aziza. Going roller skating on all night skates was sooo fun! I was so lucky to be a teenager in the 70s!

[@canine6023]

Just subscribed. I love your content and your soothing voice. I was a teenager in the 70s so remember a lot of this. Thankyou so much.

[@portiawebb533]

Thank you for your enthusiasm and natural curiosity! We appreciate your research, inspiration and all the provenance you share for each decade! ✨🙌🏽👠💄

[@mariaayon4997]

I was still too young to wear makeup in the 70s but my teenage sisters used all these products. This brought back memories from my childhood . I m more in 80s, I still use Oil of Olay today, I’m 55 years old.❤

[@Haphappy298]

Born in 1972 and that alone was a blessing❤Best time to grow up ❤

[@celticrose2]

I grew up in the 70’s. It was a great decade. I remember playing records, talking on a telephone ☎️ and watching Love Boat on TV 📺 👍🏻 I remember all those products and the feathered bands inspired by Charlie’s Angels and Farrah Fawcet. 👍🏻

[@CleoGravel]

Wow I grew up in the seventies 😊thanks for sharing 😊

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Thanks for watching

I appreciate you so much! All the research you do to bring back all the feels! I’m literally obsessed with your channel! I’m definitely in my vintage era ❤

Your skin looks georgeous ! ...any secrets you can share ?

[@nehir4476]

Can you do a video about Bettie Page ? About her favorite makeup products, skincare, perfume etc. ? Much love 😘

[@leovenus2782]

Adults in my family would play cards, the kids and cousins would play outside until dusk. Everybody smoked. TV was fun sometimes but I don’t really remember sitting and watching it that much, especially during the summer.

[@Dorthy-wx9fq]

I grew up in the 70's. So I remember it well. I'm a baby boomer so I know about a lot of the stuff that you talk about.

[@user-rw2uh5bv3o]

I miss this time😢

I love your channel Laura Jane❤

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Thank you

[@meredethenglish1577]

Hi Laura! Great video! I used to watch "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" on Nick at Night, but I think I am gonna see if the library has it on DVD. "The Jeffersons" and "Goodtimes" were two hysterical shows from the 1970s! "Carrie" from 1976 and "Halloween" from 1978 I think are two of the best 1970s movies

[@JamieABurke]

I think you’re right, life in the 70’s was more affordable. My parents built a house in 1970 and every week paid the carpenters and they paid cash for it and never owed a thing. Unheard of today.

[@user-or7wj5gi4s]

We always had Carnation bars or breakfast drinks and half a grapefruit. My brother and I would go to the movies and be treated to a 2 for 1. I was a kid so we were playing with Colorforms, Shrinky Dinks, or other crafts. My parents had a night job so we would order KFC and turn on the television in the kitchen to watch Dance Fever or CHIPS. My sister would let me stay up and watch the original SNL. She almost burnt the house down with the Jiffy Pop she constantly cooked on top the stove. I had a Pink Panther bike which got ridden into the ground. I also spent the summer in a kid's pool near the front so my Mom could see me out the glass door. We ate popsicles by the score and the ice cream man had this giant green and yellow sherbert frog. An entire full cart of groceries was probably $100 or less filled to the brim. My sister and I baked in the sun and she and my Dad would rub literal oil on their skin. My Dad was famous for the Noxzema. My Mom wore a perm and one time I went to the store with her, got lost, and thought this man with the same perm was her so I grabbed his leg. Good natured, he laughed, but so many people had that perm. A weekend treat would be going up to Burger Chef and getting a cool toy like the Mork in the egg I got. Halloween was a huge deal and I went as Alien one year. Yes, the 70's were a great time to be alive and very happy for my family. It didn't hurt that we were a bunch of horror movie junkies who loved carnivals and festivals, played our records every weekend on our television/stereo combo, and went as a family to the mall as often as we could.

[@kristagreen5961]

The 70’s would have been a great decade to live in

[@meredethenglish1577]

Hi Laura! Forgot to mention this in my last comment, although I know this would be more 1960s than 1970s: Have you ever done any biography/movieography/beauty routines for the British actress Barbara Steele? She was mainly in European horror films in the 1960s. In the USA she is probably most well known for starring with horror legend Vincent Price in Roger Corman's "The Pit and the Pedulum". I believe Dita Von Teese mentioned Barbara briefly in her beauty book. Anyhow, just and idea! Thanks!

[@denisefreitas6727]

Laura, what an awesome vídeo! Loved it! Thanks a lot! 💖

[@elainebines6803]

In the 70's it was called oil of ulay

[@Awaywrdson]

My favorite years are 70s and 80s, living in the 70s was really cool !! Loved Karen Carpenter and I loved my " Bell Bottoms" !! Elton John !! All kinds of cool bands !! Comic Books!! Yeah I had fun in the 70s !! 🤘✌️

[@thevegantitian]

Can you do a day in the life of the 80s and 90s?

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Sure!

[@thevegantitian]

@@Laurajaneatelier thanks!

[@lindakrol5376]

I graduated high school in the seventies- Remember hard contacts highlighted hair and jean skirts and bodysuits?

[@leovenus2782]

I’m a huge “Rocky” movies fan. I’ve seen them all multiple times. I found them very inspiring.

[@judithrivera7857]

The HOT PANTS craze happened in the 70's, too!

[@Almosthomeforever]

The incredible memories are endless… FREEDOM…miss hitchhiking and way less “technology”..simple. More people weren’t afraid to be friendly and help each other.

[@user-rw2uh5bv3o]

Anyone else remember the freedom train?

[@Rose_Rg]

Can you recreate the makeup routine from that time?

[@wendymuir7818]

Bean bag chairs Faux fur Shag carpet I always envied the girls in my high school who could afford Clinique skin care. I think the 1970s was when we all stopped wearing sneakers and tennis shoes, because athletic trainers (aka running shoes) made their debut.

[@sylviamitbrodt1562]

The 1970’s seemed difficult for us. I don’t think it was that wonderful.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

I guess everyone was different

[@treesoul00]

Yeah all the smoke, the gas prices, the smells, the guys who were shattered by Vietnam. There was one guy in my church who would sit in the back with his parents he was still in his 20s but he had nerve damage that caused him to shake and spasm every so often. A little like Parkinson’s. It just gripped his muscles he didn’t have a choice about it, poor guy.

[@charlottecharlie-w4o]

@@treesoul00 That poor young man :( Yes the 70's had a lot of difficulty and sadness.

[@constanzacontreras8359]

Do a day in life in 80s

This was gppd znd correct. Thank you! ☮️💟

[@NunyaBiznes-vs1gy]

Early 70s hippie culture...didnt fit into a lot of stuff shown here.

[@sleepingwithcats5121]

I like your channel, but wonder why you chose several illustrations from the 1950s ?

[@charlottecharlie-w4o]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@leovenus2782]

The 70’s also saw inflation.

[@maylee2029]

What lipstick are you using in this video? So cute on you

[@GrandmaRose9000]

The 70's were so boring. With the exception of Bowie, glam rock, Brian Eno and later the Ramones and punk rock. That was fun. Everything else was boring as *uck.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

What do you mean
