How Your Posture Makes a First Impression
May 18, 2022
You make your first impression on someone very fast – within just a few seconds of meeting them. It’s so much better to make a good first impression than to try and fix a bad one. This is especially important when job-seeking or meeting new people.
Most people don’t think about their posture when they’re with others, but your posture is one of the first things people see when they meet you for the first time. The way you hold yourself shows much more about you than you may realize – body language is a powerful thing. Good posture makes for a great impression.
Slouching is a super no-no. Slouching can make you look unprofessional, lacking certainty and like you simply don’t care about yourself or others. Whereas a person who stands, walks or sits up straight shows confidence, caring and competence.
So, who would you respect? The sloucher or the person who stands tall and moves with ease and grace?

May 18, 2022
No one wants to look sloppy, clumsy or uncool, especially when eating out with new friends or at an important lunch date. Your kids can learn early on the table manners for messy foods, and then when they’re out on that important business lunch when they’re all grown up, they’ll sail though it looking like a pro.
There are ways to enjoy the most famously messy eats without making a mess of oneself. Overall, the best way to eat messy foods is not to rush and to take small bites. And here’s how to eat two of the messiest…
Burgers
Burgers seem to have been made just to defy one’s ability to keep clean and neat. But there is a way to avoid the mess when all those juicy, scrumptious insides come oozing out…
First, put a tray under your burger to catch any fallout, and then guess what? There’s a way to hold your burger. Flip the burger upside down – the top half of a burger bun is much thicker than the bottom. So, by flipping it upside down, the ingredients will be sitting on a firmer support and less likely to create a mess.
Buffalo Wings
De-bone your Buffalo wings! Take the bones out before you take a bite by removing
the cartilage on the wide end of the wing and then twist the small bone – it’ll easily pull out. Do the same with the large bone, then you’re ready to eat that wing.
