This and That

(Spring is in the air!)

It looks like spring has finally arrived, and Spring Break is next week, too! I’m looking forward to a little break and a lot of catching up on sleep, blogging, and reading. Here are a few things that caught my eye this week.

“A Brief History of French Girl Hair.” I think the French get it right by embracing natural hair.

A funny Tumblr based on old McCall’s patterns.

I linked to this makeup article in Monday’s post, but it’s worth sharing again.

A “Game of Thrones”/Taylor Swift parody that makes me laugh.

You can write an essay and win an inn in Maine.

More hospitals are working to provide gentle cesareans for women. (When I asked about this option almost five years ago, I was told no.)

A remastered version of The Breakfast Club will show at South by Southwest.

A very thorough blog post about Lena Dunham’s new bungalow.

And the Duchess of Cambridge visits the set of “Downton Abbey.”

Have a wonderful weekend!
