Ukrainian Women Bring Back Traditional Floral Crowns To Show National Pride

A Slavic workshop of stylists and photographers called Treti Pivni (translates as Third Rooster) have decided to bring back one of the more amazing Ukranian traditions by giving it a new meaning. They’ve produced a portrait series of modern Ukranian women dressed in traditional Ukranian floral headdresses.

According to the tradition, these headdresses were worn by young, unmarried women to show their “purity” and marital eligibility. Now though, the artists are using them as a reminder of Ukrainian identity in rough times the country is going through. With continuing political and actual physical pressure from Russia, the country faces serious threats to its integrity and unity is needed more than ever.

As model Nadiia Shapoval told Vogue Magazine: “ I think we are coming back to floral themes because fashion is starting to react on wars that we are having around the globe. We need some tenderness. “

These Adorable Teacup Gardens Could Be Your Next Quarantine Project (23 Pics)

For those of us living in apartments, having a garden sounds like some sort of a dream. But what if I told you that you don’t need a home with a backyard to have a nice garden? Apparently, sometimes all you need is a teacup and a little creativity.

People are sharing photos of their miniature gardens that fit inside teacups and they’re absolutely adorable. Creating these tiny gardens could be a great way to pass time while you’re stuck in quarantine – especially if you don’t have the patience to grow a bonsai . So grab an old teacup, pick up some moss and a handful of dirt the next time you’re walking the dog and check out some inspiration in the gallery below!

Aušrys Uptas

One day, this guy just kind of figured - “I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?” - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that’s trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that’s too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
