* Lilacs are blooming and if you want to pluck some, this is how you keep them fresh.
* I really loved you're not my child, don't call me mom.
* You might be old enough to rememer The Scatman song, but did you know that he struggled all his life with a debilitating stutter for which he was bullied in school, which made him depressed and addicted to alcohol, until he found scat music? My hat goes off.
* So apparently you can easily turn leather into suede at home. Who knew!
* Homesong. A beautiful blog about a beautiful simple home. I want to move in and steal all her stuff.
* I've always been fascinated by the Korean 10-step routines, but not a huge fan of all the products with dubious ingredients. Now one of my favourite bloggers presents a zero-waste, natural version of it -- based on actual traditional Korean DIY skincare.
* The Murmuring Cottage is a beautifully curated tumblr of the most calming images ever. What are your favourite blogs or tumblrs for aesthetic inspiration? I'm looking for new ones.
* How to quick-soak chickpeas.
* An in-depth article about heels, their psychology and their history.
* War and Peace is one of my favourite books ever and one of the the greatest stories ever told, so I was pretty stoked about BBC making a miniseries based on it. It's quite good (even if not Russian enough and not philosophical enough), with some amazing actors. And Prince Bolkonsky. And that ball scene.
