Satin Pillowcases and Rain-Wind Bonnets

Today I was searching for mission-y stuff online and stumbled upon an article in the New Era with advice from a girl to other sister missionaries written in 1972.

It encouraged girls to sleep on a satin pillowcase to preserve your hairstyle and maintain a feminine look, spark up those drab colors with scarves and bows, always carry a rain-wind bonnet (you never know), and learn how to make those no-bake cookies for branch picnics.

This dear sister also suggested that "If you are one pound overweight, it is too much. Take it off!"

Shoot. I guess I'll have to resist that extra helping of guinea pig in Ecuador. And unfortunately I don't think even a satin pillow will help my hair situation. The humidity will ensure 18 months of frizzy goodness.

Here's the full article...just in case you need some helpful mission advice.

Bahahaha, Unfortunately, all she has suggested became rules. You must sleep on a large satin pillow in a giant full body hairnet. That's the truth.
