On the Right Foot: History of the Croissant, Questions to Ask During a Job Interview, Hair Cycling & More!

February 27, 2023 by jessica Leave a Comment

Why, hello! It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Work has been incredibly busy lately and my free time has been split between going to the pottery studio, getting together with friends, and tackling projects around the house. Last week was the final session of my most recent pottery class and it’s fun to see how much I’ve improved since my first time on the wheel. Three of my latest pieces are above. These are dipped in white glaze and ready to be put in the kiln for their final firing, which will transform the matte glaze into a shiny, glass-like texture.

History of the croissant.

American Girl’s latest “historical” characters are from 1999.

Questions candidates should ask in a job interview.

Loving this playful take on a classic tennis bracelet.

I started following Joe Horner, a UK-based photographer and floral artist, on Instagram.

What is “hair cycling” and does it work?

I’ve been enjoying the new TV show Poker Face.

To get the look of a chunky baroque pearl necklace for a fraction of the price, I found this shell pearl version.

I made these shawarma-inspired chicken thighs a couple of weeks ago. So. Good.

A home that makes a case for keeping knotty pine paneling.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
