In 1915, 19-year-old Thomas Lyle Williams noticed his older sister Mabel using a homemade mixture of petroleum jelly and darkening ingredients on her eyelashes and eyebrows. Seeing how much the mixture improved their appearance gave Williams an idea for a cosmetic product that would be easier and safer to use.
Williams began experimenting and eventually started selling an eye cosmetic through the mail. He called the business Maybelline, a name traditionally said to combine his sister's name, Mabel, with Vaseline, one of the ingredients associated with the original product. The company later became especially known for its mascara and other eye makeup.
Maybelline grew from Williams' small mail-order business into one of the world's best-known cosmetics brands. The story of its beginnings has endured for more than a century, all tracing back to Williams watching his sister experiment with a simple homemade beauty treatment.

I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.

I love to cook and share recipes. I will regularly post pictures and recipes are available upon request. I would enjoy discussing your past, present and future journeys. Nature is God and Mother Earth's exquisite gift to us. Share a picture and we will enjoy the beauty through your eyes. Let's get deep and consensual with great subjective matter. This is a non judgemental safe place to let everything hang out.
