(Spring is in the air!)<\/p><\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“A Brief History of French Girl Hair.”<\/a> I think the French get it right by embracing natural hair.<\/p>\n

A funny Tumblr based on old McCall’s patterns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I linked to this makeup article<\/a> in Monday’s post, but it’s worth sharing again.<\/p>\n

A “Game of Thrones”\/Taylor Swift parody<\/a> that makes me laugh.<\/p>\n

You can write an essay and win an inn in Maine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More hospitals are working to provide gentle cesareans<\/a> for women. (When I asked about this option almost five years ago, I was told no.)<\/p>\n

A remastered version of The Breakfast Club<\/em><\/a> will show at South by Southwest.<\/p>\n

A very thorough blog post about Lena Dunham’s new bungalow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And the Duchess of Cambridge visits the set of “Downton Abbey.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Have a wonderful weekend!<\/p>\n
