1. They washed their hair frequently, although cuts were generally not done for women and knee length hair takes a while(I should know, I wash 1 in every three days and sacrifice 2 hours that day to get it ready and washed not to mention the 10 hours it takes to dry) 2. They did not wash their outer garments yes, but their chemises kept the sweat from them 3. They did have toilet paper by this time, and they also used newspapers, where do you get corncob? 4. By this point the dangers of lead were known, are you thinking of the Elizabethan Era? 5. Okay now I’ve never heard this one, they used things like orange blossoms and rose water for perfumes, it was quite the business 6.

Only one elderly lady I've worked with had a variety of food for breakfast. The others usually have cold cereal made a certain way, maybe with a banana or preserves, maybe not. The way they dress seems to be from when England didn't have super warm houses as well? Often 3 layers of clothing, sometimes four. An undershirt, then the shirt, those sleeveless sweaters/vests, and then a sweater/jumper. Then it's off to select earrings and scarves for the women.

I legit love that her mum get's involved in all of these videos, it must actually be so fun to do these videos together :)

This was quite interesting to watch, well done on another excellent video Ruby :) However I'd also advise people to actually do research on the Victorian Era. As Ruby stated in her video this is a upper class womens morning routine. The Victorian Era tends to be quite glamourised, but there are also plenty of documentaries showing the horrific conditions inside workhouses that men, women and children were forced into if they were poor. The working class also lived quite hard lives, so for those who want the Victorian Era, it really was only nice if you were wealthy.

I loved your Vicorian videos. If you can show us more videos about it, would be great.

What a fun retrospective. I love that your mother played along and was your ladies maid for the morning. Well done! And the tea service to gently wake you in bed up makes me think about the tea tray scenes of Downton Abbey’s first episode. The little silver teapot was beautiful. The waiting to get dressed. There’s a hilarious scene of this at the start of the Secret Garden (the 1993 editions with Kate Maberly) where she’s standing there with her arms out. Ruth Goodman note is a great extra bonus in this. I’ve just discovered here and she knows so many details. Her documentaries are so interesting.

I absolutely loved your video! I am an American in my U.K., and I have absolutely loved learning more about the Victorian Era, as well as other time periods in your history! Some of the Victorian facts in your video (especially about the routine...I love washing my hair and having my shower every day, for one!) surprised me, and the Victorian routine and the prayers with the hot chocolate at breakfast made me smile! I also love the Victorian author, Thomas Hardy. I have recently subscribed to your channel, too! Please keep on being a kind and beautiful person, as you seem, to be, and stay true to yourself! Take good care in these testing times! :)
