"Bridesmaids'Inspired Etiquette Tips"
|
When Weddzilla contacted us to comment on the royal wedding we had no idea it would lead to a regular contribution as a blogger for the site, and we were thrilled. Twice a month we will share our expert tips and advice on all things weddings breaking down everything from old fashioned "I do's" to modern day thank you's. This month we featured a review of the outrageously funny "Bridesmaids" as the ultimate guidebook for what not to do and how not to behave as a bridesmaid in a wedding. Read more here. | |
Manners Monday
"How to Walk in High Heels"
|
Recently, I had received two separate inquiries from a couple of teenage girls who were new to the whole world of stilettos and platforms and had enlisted my help to teach them how to properly walk in high heels. It was eye-opening to learn how concerned these young ladies were with being able to balance both comfortably and confidently in their heels and I realized that there may be a number of other women out there suffering from high heel anxiety.

Greetings!
Why do manners RULE? Simply put, because they exist everywhere and they apply to everyone! There is virtually no one on this planet who is above using them. Manners are a bit tricky though. People are still puzzled by their meaning often associating them with an old stodgy book of rules that have no influence in today's fast-paced, technologically-driven world. On the contrary, manners are deceivingly straightforward. They are built on common sense and their recognition is actually more necessary now than ever as they offer us an excuse to slow down and engage in pleasant interactions and niceties with others.
As we slowly slip away from spring and jump head first into summer, we want to inspire YOU to get in touch with your manners and check out one of our many class offerings for yourself, your child, a co-worker or friend.
For Kids/Teens, we have our "Manners Camp" program (ages 6-12), our "Let's Dance!" Cotillion series (for kids in the 3rd thru 7th grades) and our class on "Netiquette" for teens.
For Corporate, we are pleased to offer our "Dine LIke a Diplomat," "Outclass the Competition" and "How to Succeed in the International Arena" half day and full day programs.
For Adults, "The Business Lunch" and "The Art of Civility" are two separate edcuational seminars for the professional or social setting.
Whatever your endeavor, tune up and take some time to let your manners rule!
Very best,
Lisa
