THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW WERE RUDE TO ASK - ETIQUETTE

Have you ever been made uncomfortable during a conversation by someone who was asking too many intrusive questions? Or have you made someone uncomfortable? What are the questions that you didn't know were rude to ask... There are so many questions that are too intrusive and a covert way of asking something else indirectly. 1. What do you do? This question seems innocent but asking it directly comes across intrusive and putting someone on a spot. It comes across you are asking how wealthy are you, how much money do you have? Some people are just wealthy and don't do anything and others just lost their job. It is not something they would want to discuss unless you are a close friend already, definitely not with a stranger. It is better never to ask and wait for the person to mention it themselves. 2. Do you live alone? Another question that is a bit uncomfortable , are you trying to invite yourself? Or asking if someone can afford to live by themselves. Anot...

WHAT IS GOLDEN MILK? GOLDEN MILK RECIPE

What is golden milk and what are the benefits of drinking it? When I first heard about it I wasn't too keen but after I tried it, I started loving this drink and noticed those wonderful health benefits. First of all the main ingredient of golden milk is tumeric and cinnamon which both have many health benefits - boosting your immunity and mood, they are antioxidants and help preventing cancer and age related diseases. There are many benefits. The one I have definitely noticed is this one - when I was feeling like I am coming down with flu or just feeling off in the evening, I would drink the golden milk and almost immediately I would feel better, the flu has magically gone and the next day I felt fresh and full of energy. So even if can't see the other benefits, this is one is definitely noticeable so even for that reason it is worth to make a cup of golden milk now and again. Here is the recipe for one cup /mug of golden milk: -1 tbs of tumeric -1/2 tbs of cinnamon -1...

Everyman in Chelsea - luxury London cinema

Does anyone go to the cinema anymore in London? Yes, definitely, especially my favourite London cinema at the moment, while mourning the loss of Curzon Victoria, a loss we can never recover from as Londoners. The cinema that comes to the rescue in those times of culture depravation is Everyman cinema in Chelsea. It is located on King's Rd, of course and it probably the cutest cinema in town, with lovely decor and plush seating areas, bar with drinks and snacks and of course your own waitress serving directly to your seat. Perfect for a date or even solo cinema outing. The best part about this cinema is the it also has screenings of other cultural delights such as opera or theatre and as a matter of fact it can be even better than attending theatre itself as the seating is more comfortable and you can pretty much sit anywhere and feel like you are right up there in the beast seats in the opera ot theatre itself. Without being significantly impoverished by the premium tickets....

5 BEST COFFEE AND BRUNCH PLACES IN CHELSEA SW3

(photo The Locals) My 5 best picks and favourite places in Chelsea to have a coffee or light brunch and maybe some sweet pastry. My subjective and independent opinion as a Londoner. I visit them often and love all !! Bread Ahead - Pavillion Poad . I love this tiny little place for coffee and croissants , they have the best almond croissant that I am dreaming about often. Vardo - Duke of York Square Another place I love so much , especially in the summer, it has amazing food and the service is always very nice. And of course it is great to sit outside in the summer. Granger - Pavillion Road- I love the food there, it is always very busy though. And those palm trees make me think I am somewhere exotic... Megan's Battersea Power Station Not really Chelsea anymore ( a bit of a walk from Sloane Square) but definitely Chelsea vibes, I love the food and it is really great to sit looking at the river and enjoy your coffee or brunch. Gets super busy on a beautiful day. The Loc...

MANICOMIO RESTAURANT REVIEW

Manicomio is one of the Duke Of York Square restaurants in London that are a hidden gem. It is a fantastic restaurant and bar serving Italian food , also a seasonal dishes menu. I really recommend their cocktail list as well, Bellini being my personal favourite. The restaurant has a large outside space with heaters and many tables and also screen that assure privacy. All of that comes very useful in the summer but also in the autumn, we can still enjoy an outside atmosphere, it is very fun, buzz of the Duke of York Square. There is also a conservatory at the back of the restaurant wich is very lovely and romantic, perfect for a date in the evening. Little lamps make it very cute and cosy. The cuisine is Italian and Manicomio is serving many delicious dishes , all absolutely lovely and tasty, with some seasonal additions. Always a fantastic dining experience! This restaurant is perfect for any occasion- a lunch or dinner , both would be great there. The location is very conve...

TOP LONDON LUXURY HOTELS-ULTIMATE LUXURY EXPERIENCE

There are so many amazing hotels in London but there are a few that offer ultimate luxury and have the best locations for Central London.

This hotel offers an amazing experience, luxury stay , spa with open rooftop swimming pool, the famous Blue bar that is one of the best bars in London in my opinion.

BARBIE MOVIE -WHAT IS IT REALLY ABOUT? FILM REVIEW

Who doesn't love Barbie, the blonde blue eyed doll who wears pink? We all do. I went to see the move for sentimental reasons but the movie was not as I expected. I was hoping for some variation of a love story between Barbie and Ken but I was a bit disappointed I must admit. On the other hand I was quite intrigued by the plot and what it means. Let's point out the obvious first, we all love Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken, we could not ask for a better couple, shame there was no romance or even a kiss or anything of that nature that we all love in movies! A very aesthetically pleasing movie though. Without too many spoilers , the move opens a conversation about men and women in the modern society. The society has changed a lot in the recent decades and is now completely different with the roles of men and women being slightly reversed to put it mildly. Barbie explores what it is like to live in the real world and experiencing the struggles of real wome...
