SPOT
Did Vincent Van Gogh hide a rendition of “The Last Supper” in one of his most famous paintings?

READ
I love reading advice columns and old etiquette books. These snippets from the 1969 edition of Vogue’s Book of Etiquette and Good Manners don’t disappoint.

ASK
A handful of great questions to ask at your next job interview.

DECORATE
How great is this Etsy shop?! I adore the green chevron pillow covers.

EAT
Make sure you eat before online shopping. Hunger can lead to overspending on more than just groceries.

WEAR
It was in the upper ’60s yesterday, which has me yearning to revamp my summer wardrobe. A pair of statement sunglasses by Karen Walker is just the thing I’m itching for. Well, that and the dress that’s on its way to me.

FITNESS UPDATE
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I lost 70 pounds after college. It took two years, so I know the process takes time. Yet, I’ve still been discouraged lately. Given how much I’ve exercised (which, for the record, I hate), I hoped to see bigger changes on the scale over the last two months. I needed to step back this week and look at the bigger picture. Since Jan. 1, I have lost a total of 5.3 pounds, 1.5 inches from my thighs, 0 inches from my arms (but they are more toned), 2.5 inches from my bust, 1.75 inches from my waist, and 2.5 inches from my hips. (Even though I can only do push-ups on my knees, I’m also proud that I went from doing five in 30 seconds to doing 25 in the same amount of time. ::kisses biceps::)

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.
