The devil’s in the details!

Such an amazing experience it was to be hosted at the and ✨

Do you know what’s the difference between fine dining & casual dining?

A fine dining refers to a restaurant experience that is of a higher quality and greater formality compared to the experience at a casual dining restaurant. A fine dining restaurant is like the food equivalent of a five-star hotel. They’re marked by their atmosphere, excellent customer service, and high-quality menu options. The customer’s comfort and experience are at the top of the staff’s concerns. And this is exactly what delivers.

P.S. I have been quite MIA lately due to a new project I’m going to share with you shortly. 🤗

✨Dress code on a holiday✨

Holiday is time when we all want to feel relaxed and not necessary worry about the dress code. However, this is the time when we should pay special attention to the attire we chose.

When visiting different countries we need to follow their social etiquette rules and make sure that we don’t offend religious feelings of the citizens.

Holiday checklist:

✅Educate yourself on the culture and religion of the country
✅Make sure you follow general social etiquette rules of the country
✅Make sure your outfit don’t offend anyone
✅Always check the dress code rules of the hotel/resort you are staying at
✅Always check the dress code rules before booking a restaurant
✅Always check the dress code of the public beaches
✅Always check the dress code of the private hotel beaches

You must remember thta you are a guest of the other country. You need to respect others by following the social etiquette rules of the country.

The dress l’m wearing has adjustible sleeves that allow me cover my shoulders when being in public or pulling them down when enjoying the sun at the private brunch at the hotel resort.

„Should I wear red lipstick in corporate environment?” 💄

Recently, one of my lovely Gen-Z students asked me this question and we got into a very interesting discussion. 🙂

Even though, the reality of the modern world lets us break more and more rules, red lipstick should be avoided in the corporate environment.

And why is that? Well, the same reason of why we avoid evening attire at work. 💃Bold, heavy makeup and red lips are disturbing in the office environment. If you enjoy wearing lipsticks to work (like me 🙂) then DO IT, but try to use more subtle shades. 👄

Crunching snack at the desk, slurping coffee, eating smelly food, microwaving fish… these are things that should never happen in the office. 👩‍💼👨‍💼

Before starting my career at the university, I worked in three international corporations and believe me, I’ve seen, heard and smelled a lot! 🙈🙉🙊

On the top of my list of things that should never happen in the office is… microwaving a fish.😱🐟

Tell me in the comments, what’s the most unacceptable etiquette mistake you have ever witnessed in the workplace? ⤵️🤔

Wine isn't the only way to say "thank you" to your party host/hostess. Check out the post and learn more about the perfect gift ideas for host/hostess.

Save it and use as a cheat sheet before the next dinner party! 👍

The secret has been revealed! 🤫

My fav gift idea for the host/hostess is a fruit basket. 🍊🍇🍑🍒

Preparation of the fruit basket takes a little bit of time but the effort that has been put in its preparation will be highly appreciated - I can assure you.🙂

It’s a perfect idea especially if you are looking an alternative for sweets (especially if the host/hostess has kids and they are not allowed to eat sweets). A fruit basket is perfect for those who don’t eat sugar or drink alcohol. Or for those who don’t have gardening skills and they cannot keep any plants alive (happens to all of us 😅).
