NASA Reveals A List Of The Best Air-Cleaning Plants For Your Home A little guide for everyone looking for some greens to decorate their flat with. 

Is India the Solution to Fashion’s Woes? India turns out to be the brand new market not only for luxury brands but also chain shops like H&M (did you know that the Swedish giant opened their first store in Delhi one year ago?), Forever 21 and Massimo Dutti. While Europe and North America are slowly becoming fed up with good they see all over on their Instagram feed, India offers a lot of space for many brands. A really interesting article supplied with rich data and facts. 

How Studying Arabic Brought Me to Israel in the Summer of 2014 Now, this is something personal and I'd already shared this article on my Facebook 2 years ago once it was published. I had the enormous pleasure to get to know the author, Maria Sebas (one of the kindest human beings I've ever met with the warmest of hearts!) and the story of why she came to Israel in the summer of 2014 is also a part of my story as we both attended the same Hebrew course at the University of Haifa. 

Nasty Gal: What Went Wrong? If you're into fashion, you must have heard of Nasty Gal or at least must have seen Girlboss - Sophia Amoruso's bestselling book. Nasty Gal first started as a vintage clothing shop on eBay and later turned out to be a real e-commerce success. Many times had I heard the rumours that the platform is not doing well and this article is nothing but the proof of all that I'd hear of before. And even though I personally have no experience with Nasty Gal, it's always been for me a symbol of new generation and I'm sure a huge source of inspiration for similar online shopping platforms.

In Japan, Tapping the World’s Best Vintage I'm a great fan of vintage shopping, not actually because it's trendy. For me it's the essence of one's personal style and there's nothing better than finding some designer goods being dirt cheap, still having top quality. And the fact that behind every vintage piece there's someone else's story makes the whole experience even more unique and intimate. It seems that the world's best vintage can't be found in London or maybe in some hipster parts of New York but in Japan and it gathers more and more interest from global customers. That's why change is afoot and it may be that very soon Japan's vintage will go online giving us the chance to find even more unique pieces.

18th Century Statue Destroyed By A Tourist Taking A Picture In Lisbon Museum My only comments is that some people should have a permanent ban on going to museums, art galleries or any places connected with art and cultural heritage. Amen. 

It's Not A Game Anymore - Sherlock: Series Four For all the Cumberbitches out there.

Now You Can Wipe Your Baby’s Butt With Annoying Parenting Tips This is something right up my street and I'm also waiting for the Baby Bunny version so I can already practice my parenting skills.

Happy Birthday to Emma Morano, born in 1899. It must be so amazing to be able to live in 3 different centuries and see the world change so much over the last 100 years. As she says, she's eaten 2 eggs daily since she was 20 and that's one of the secrets of her longevity. Now you may understand why I like to eat eggs for breakfast, lunch and tea (not only as a must ingredient of my shakshukah).

Tokyo, Which Hasn’t Seen November Snow In Over 50 Years, Surprised To Wake Up In A Winter Wonderland I love winter because there's snow and everything looks so bright and it's the mulled wine season. The first real snow in Warsaw has fallen down too (My Boy has his own conspiracy theory: it's because I was shaking snow balls at Empire to make it snow in real life so you can all put the blame on me). In the recent years we heaven't seen much of snow in Poland either but Tokyo had a really long break from the white fluff. After 50 years the snow finally fell down and 
Tokyo looks so beautiful in white! Almost as beautiful as Polish mountains in the South.  

COMME des GARÇONS PLAY Launches an Emoji Pack for the 2016 Holidays I love emojis and CdG is one of my favourite brands but as most of the fans I have really mixed feelings about the emoji pack. I must agree with those saying it's really commercial and CdG has always been a niche brand. Yet, I like the design and the black aesthetics. Still, I'd much rather see all these black hearts on stickers or pins rather than emojis used in a chat. 

Heartwarming Friendship Between Boy And His Dog Some say only animals (especially pets) can be our best friends for their love is unconditional. The story of Buddy and Reagan and their friendship captured in pictures only prove this statement to be true.

Photographer captured the moment a baby bunny tried to eat a thistle Because everyone needs to see a baby bunny trying to east a thistle.
