Stop what you’re doing! Get your tongue off that wallpaper! Bethany brings a list of strange, unexpected ways that people in the Victorian era found themselves quite dead. (You won’t look at the color green the same way again…) Then, if you need a little pick-me-up, Kathleen talks about the easy and funny ways she makes herself feel fancier every day. Plus, an awful family trip to The Lodge and your voicemails!
