How to be a perfect host

Having people over for a dinner-, party of do they sleep over? Here's a few tips on how to be a 'perfect host'! 

 ♥ Ask your guest if they have any allergies or dislikes when it comes to food and drinks, and keep that in mind when you go shopping or start cooking ;-) ♥ have enough food an drinks, it's always better to buy and/or make a little extra than have your guest leave with an empty stomage! ♥ Are your guests ok with pets? Or are they allergic? Vacuum and sweep the floor extra beforehand and keep the pets away from your guests ♥ Know how to set a table, and put a little extra attention in decoration (especially when everyone is staying over for a holiday) ♥ Is your toilet/ bathroom clean? Stock up on toilet papier and other toiletries anyone might need ♥ Music should suit the occasion and shouldn't be that loud so that no-one can carry on a conversation  ♥  Are they sleeping over as well? Always have crispy clean bed-linnen extra (clean) towels and more than enough pillows, sheets and blankets. Nobody should be cold at night! ♥ Make everyone feel welcome, special and appreciated. That means spending time with your guest(s) and giving them your full attention  ♥ Thank your guest(s) for coming over! ♥

Southern Charm

Southern Charm cast (Season 2).

Southern Charm is one of my favorite tv-shows at the moment! I have to say, I'm a huge fan of Cameran Wimberly-Eubanks. 
Southern Charm is an reality television series that follows the professional and personal lives (and social events) of seven 'socialites' who live in Charleston, South Carolina. Have you ever watched it (or just never even heard of it)? Right now season 2 has started, ofcourse I've already seen S2E01. 

Here's what IMDB says about the show:'The notoriously closed society of Charleston, South Carolina unlocks the gates of their centuries-old plantation homes for a real-life look at how modern-day Southern aristocracy lives. Get charmed by the social scene which is bound by tradition and ostentation unlike any other culture in America, through a group of the city's most charismatic gentlemen and their Southern belle equals.'

Curious? Here's a sneak peek.

The rules of a lady.

I'd like to think that a true lady is elegant, kind, beautiful from inside and out, well-educated, intelligent, open minded, knows what she want but will not use someone else as a stepping stone. 

You've might seen these 'rules' on tumbler, blogs and twitter. There are a few different tumbler account but here you can find 241 rules or guide-lines so far. Scroll down for are a few of my favorites.
