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.

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::)

These KW sunglasses are so cute but I can buy anymore sunglasses lol. Your new dress is so cute and so you.
Congrats on your weight loss, but do not let the lack of drastic results discourage you from keeping up with being fit!
Chic on the Cheap
Congrats on the fitness update – inches matter way more than the scale, so you are doing great! I’m struggling with a lack of results in my workout/weight loss journey. It’s so hard to stay motivated when the scale hasn’t budged for me, and there are no noticeable changes (with clothing fit, etc). Just trying to stay on track. However my annual physical is on Thursday and I know I’m going to get a lecture. Sigh. I’ve just keep on keeping on, I know that it takes time (and now that I’m over 40, it’s become so much harder)…
