"Hints from Heloise"

Around the time housework stopped being 100% women's work, "Hints from Heloise" got rebranded as "Life Hacks." The tips themselves haven't changed at all.

[quote]Baking soda and/or vinegar seemed to solve 95% of life's problems in Heloise's world.

But not in mine.

Cheryl, a Silkwood shower aimed right at your pussy wouldnt solve your problems.

Heloise recommended club soda and lemon to get cum stains out of bedsheets.

That stuff doesn’t just work on cum stains. It also works wonders on blood and shit for those millennials that don’t clean properly before anal.

I remember Heloise from my grandmother's Good Housekeeping magazines in the 80s. I just looked her up and she looks the same today, still has the big mane of white hair.

Did she have any suggestions for skidmarks on caftans?

Asking for a friend.

Growing up in the late 60’s... Ann Landers, Heloise and the society page.... Lol

It appears that Heloise's eyebrow style have come back in vogue.

Here she is preparing baking soda to get the cum and skidmarks out.

The Heloise of today (in photo) is actually the original Heloise's daughter, who took over the column after her mother died.

The Heloise of today has been doing the column since the 70s.

I thought the "oise" part of her name was pronounced like "noise." My mom had to correct me from saying "Hints from Heloyze."

Does the “society page” even exist anymore?

elder gay here. My one grandmother was named Helen and the other was Eloise, so when I was really young when my mother would mention a "hint from Heloise" , I just thought she was referring to my grandmothers' suggestions!

You can bet your bottom dollar that Heloise dialed with a pencil.

Heloise has a bit of Joan Crawford about her in the OP photo

Hello wheeze

OP, it was usually hair spray and/or club soda.

This thread made me realize how very much I miss reading the newspaper every day . I quit getting one over a decade ago because our local one sucks . I used to love her column , and so many others . Funny the things we miss as we age .

Did she drain the pasta?

That's how I pronounced it R18. What did I know? I was a little fem boy and my mother [bold]hated[/bold] that/me. She didn't care so much about my interest in housework when it came to scrubbing the toilets, vacuuming and doing the dishes though -- not a word then. Wretched wench.
