Meet Hermine, a woman from Belgium. Not only an interesting blogger (one of my favorites, in fact) but she also sends the lovliest letters & little gifts to complete strangers. In hopes of writing to people around the globe, she asks her readers to send a request to recieve one of her letters & packages, or to become pen pals. So if you want a sweet note to arrive at your door, or to write her yourself, I would suggest sending her an email. Check out her blog, Journal de Jours, & in the top corner you can find how to contact her.

I find it really interesting that “beauty ideals” during the Armana period correspond very closely to those of contemporary society. This was over 3,000 years ago and not much is different.
